It Ain’t Over Until the Fat Lady Sings!

January 22nd, 2010

Microgaming has created a delightful yet rewarding online slots game for players to enjoy. This is a five reel game with twenty five paylines. It will appeal to a range of slots players with its wager range: $0.01 up to $0.25.

The graphics and symbols are colorful but not outrageously silly. And the opera theme is carried throughout the entire game. But this slots game is not limited to Italian opera—it also includes touches of Chinese and German influences as well.

The symbols are very basic however. There is the logo, drama masks, an opera singer from each style and letters. Very simple, which is nice if you do not like going back constantly to check the paytable to see what pays how much.

The two symbols to hope to land are the Fat Lady Sings Logo and the Drama Masks.

The Fat Lady Sings Logo acts as the Wild symbol. A winning understudy, taking on the roles of all symbols except for the Drama Masks.

The role of the Drama Masks is to play the part of the Scatter symbol. Landing at least three of these will trigger the free spin feature. Three Drama Masks will award you from five to fifteen free spins; four will give you twenty spins; and five will give you thirty free spins.

The Fat Lady Sings bonus round offers players a fun and entertaining way to win prizes. It has three rounds that begin with the player choosing the pitch with which the singer sings—the more glasses she breaks the more free spins you win. The next stage the more glasses that are broken means the greater your multiplier is. And the third and final stage will earn you cash prizes based on how many beer steins you make the singer break.

Fat Lady Sings slots provides players with a fun way to win big with smaller wagers.

Video Slots vs. iSlots

January 22nd, 2010

Are iSlots really the next big thing in online slots games? Many will say they are. I am going to take a look at a few aspects of slots games and compare them for you: graphics, game play, special symbols and bonus games.

First we will look at the graphics offered by both video slots and iSlots. Here, both types of slots are pretty even. Both present colorful games and animated symbols on the reels. No real difference here.

However, there is a difference when you come to game play. In video slots players will play trying to land Scatters, Wilds and the symbol that triggers the bonus game. But iSlots offer players a storyline to follow. This makes the game a little more interesting to play. While video slots can get the feeling of just clicking “Spin” iSlots allow players to feel like they are trying to achieve something other than winning.

Players will have to play until they trigger the first bonus round, get what they need, and return to regular play until they trigger the bonus game again and win the next item they need in the storyline. While this does not impact how much you win overall, it does divert some attention from just winning a jackpot. These iSlots are designed to make you want to help the main character achieve a certain outcome.

Both video slots and iSlots feature special symbols such as Scatters and Wilds. And both types of slots games will often have those symbols animated. So there is not much difference here.

While a story line is the first thing that sets iSlots apart, their bonus games do have a leg up when it comes to bonus games. They do not necessarily pay more, but they are more interactive. While the majority of video slots bonuses are of the pick-and-win variety, the bonus games in iSlots are truly interactive. Players must do something for the character, ergo themselves, to win.

As to the question of whether iSlots are better than video slots, a player would have to determine how much he needs the story line, whether it is integral to his slots play or not. Also to determine is whether you as a player like the ease of pick-and-win or whether you want to interact and “play” the character to win.

But it does seem that iSlots might be on to something new. The slots world will just have to wait and see what more comes from iSlots in the next couple of years.

Vegas Technology’s Bangkok Nights online slots game might just be just the thing. This five reel, twenty five payline lights up the evening with a stage show theme. With a wager range of $0.01 up to $10, Bangkok Nights is suited for a whole range of slots players.

With the stage show theme of Bangkok Nights players get brightly colored graphics to light up their screens with. Symbols include sparkly earrings, exotic masks, costume pieces, a night club entrance and a show girl. But it is those last two symbols that will grab your attention and steal the show.

The Night Club is the Scatter symbol. Landing three or more Night Clubs on a payline will set loose this slots game’s free spins—twelve of them. And it is during those twelve free spins that your winnings will be tripled. And you can retrigger the fun.

But look out for the Show Girl. She will really steal the show from the rest of the game. For one thing she is the Wild symbol, taking the stage to create winning combinations as any symbol other than the Night Club.

But she is also the key to the bonus game in Bangkok Nights. She must appear on reels one and five at the same time for the show to begin. You will then get to pick one of the two Show Girls. You can take the prize of the one you chose or you can give up that prize and take whatever prize the other one has. Players have the potential of winning up to 100x their triggering bet with this slots game.

And you will want him to pop up during the bonus game because whatever you win will be multiplied by three—you just have to find him behind one of the doors in the bonus game.

No Lie! Real Time Creates Pinocchio Slots

January 15th, 2010

Let your conscience guide you to your favorite Real Time Gaming-powered online casino to try your luck at their RTG’s Pinocchio slots game.

This favorite children’s story, made famous by Disney and Jiminy Cricket—who was probably more well-known than Pinocchio himself oddly enough—has been turned into a slots game for us to enjoy as adults. This slots game features five reels and twenty paylines. Any sort of player can join in the fun here with wagers ranging from $0.01 to $5 per payline, making a maximum bet of $100.

The Pinocchio slots game includes all of our favorite characters. Pinocchio himself is the wild symbol, taking the place of all symbols except for the Blue Fairy—after all, he wanted to be a real boy, not a woman in a pretty blue gown.

Regardless of who your favorite character was in the story, your favorite here is going to be the Blue Fairy. The Blue Fairy is the scatter symbol that will open the way to free spins feature. Finding three Blue Fairies will give you five free spines; four will give you ten; and five will give you fifteen. And if Pinocchio shows up on the reels during a free spin, your winnings are multiplied by three.

But the fun does not stop with wilds, scatters and free spins. The Pinocchio slots game has a progressive jackpot. It is awarded randomly at the finish of the game, after you have watched it climb the whole time you have been playing. Players can win up to 40,000 times bet per line.
