A Night in Paris Slots

Croissants? Eiffel Tower? Art? Sound like a nice night in Paris? If it does than you will want to check out the other Net Entertainment release this month called A Night in Paris.

A Night in Paris is another new online slots game from Net Entertainment, whose games can be found at Mr. Green Casino. This five reel, thirty payline online slots game offers players rich 3D graphics to bring Paris alive.

And alive is just what our thief is. Oh yes, this online slots game features a thief who is trying to make off with art treasures. All in the midst of the city of romance. …And croissants.

The thief theme is really carried out in the bonus game, otherwise the theme just gives players a selection of popular motifs associated with Pairs. The bonus game is triggered when the player lands three or more Framed Pictures. Players are then asked to choose one of three pieces of art: a vase or a painting or a statue. Then the player watches as the thief goes in to try to steal the art. As they watch they also will learn what kind of payout they will win.

Now that we have some bonus action attached to the bad guy, what about the good guy? The gendarme’s Badge is the trigger for the free spins.

A Night in Paris also features two special payout combinations. Land either a Thief-Badge-Gendarme or Gendarme-Badge-Thief combination and receive a special bonus payout.

Players who liked Net Entertainment’s Dragon Island will enjoy A Night in Pars. While it is clear that different artists had a hand in the creation of each online slots game, the quality of the games themselves are top shelf.

Mega Moolah’s Own Site

Mega Moolah is one of the biggest online slots game successes to come out of Microgaming. Since the release of the original online slots game, it has had three more themed variations of it created to keep the popularity going.

Now Mega Moolah is to have its own website. Yes, an operator has launched a website that is just for Mega Moolah and no other online slots games. The site, which is MegaMoolah.co.uk, is now live following its six month soft launch. When the site opened it gave the message: “Mega Moolah is something special! Not only does it provide the biggest jackpots in online casino history, it was also the first four tiered progressive casino slot developed by Microgaming.”

The Mega Moolah site is completely dedicated to that online slots game. Currently the site is only in a flash format and only offers the African safari themed Mega Moolah. Animals have been added to guide players through this online slots game’s features and history. There is a monkey who will list the biggest jackpot winners. The giraffe will give players information on actually playing this version of Mega Moolah. The antelope will take players to a link to download the game and the elephant will help guide players to playing it on their mobile devices.

Even though the site is separate on its own from an online casino, it still is a progressive online slots game. Every time the jackpot is won it will reset to a $1,000,000. The Mega Moolah site does offer a bonus to those who download the game’s software. A first deposit it can receive up to £200 with a 100% bonus, and the second bonus can receive up £300 from another 100% bonus.

Dragon Island Slots

I love dragons. So there is no better theme for an online slots game, in my opinion, than a dragon them. And that is what Net Entertainment has given online slots players.

Really quick, Net Entertainment is a Scandinavian software developer who has been around since 1996. They have recently made the push to offer their games outside of Sweden and to expand their customer base to into the rest of Europe. Their online slots games can be found at Mr. Green Casino.

But on to the fun stuff. Dragon Island is a five reel, fifteen payline online slots game that features, you guessed it, dragons. Five in fact. Seven if you count the two special ones. The high card symbols are also present but I have eyes for the dragons.

This slots game offers a bit of a different feature: a Win Both Ways. Players can double their wager and it will do three things for them. One, it will cause the game to payout left to right and right to left. Two, it will double all five symbol wins. And three, it will activate the Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon is the special wild symbol but it can only be activated if the Win Both Ways feature is active. This is probably my least favorite feature because it requires paying extra to active a wild. But on the other hand the multiplier on the wild is 8 xs.

But fear not, there is a regular wild, which is the Silver Dragon. This guy will complete any regular winning combinations but he does not have a multiplier unfortunately.

The last special symbol is the Volcano. This is the scatter and it offers scatter payouts with multipliers of 2 xs, 3 xs, 10 xs and 100 xs depending on how many scatters you land. Also landing three or more Volcanoes you can win free spins as well.

If you like dragons and you like online slots games, this is an online slots game worth checking out.

One good source for some online slots bonuses is the Real Time Gaming powered online casino known as Slots Jungle. This is where the wildlife and online slots meet. Sure there are other online casino games, but this online casino is about online slots. As such they have given those players a weekly online slots bonus. Check it out:

Differences in Denominations

This morning I mentioned in my post about choosing an online slots game I mentioned that the differences in different wagering denominations are not worth the differences in payout percentages. The reason for this is all math based, so let’s jump in.

We are going to say that an online slots game has a 96.5% payout percentage at the maximum wager of five coins at a $1 per coin and a 96% payout percentage when only one coin at a penny a coin is wagered per payline. Going off of this morning’s estimate, we are going to say that our online slots player makes 420 spins in an hour. This is a twenty five payline online slots game.

This means that the maximum cost of a spin at $1 per coin and five coins per payline is $125. On the other end of the scale the total cost of a spin at a penny per coin and five coins per payline is $1.25.

Right off you can see that there is not even a whole percent difference between the two payout percentages. Less than a percent. And you can also see that there is a big difference in the cost of a spin. Players are risking $123.75 more per spin just to get that extra half of a percent in payout percentage. This is not worth the risk.

Granted I went with two opposite ends of the spectrum. So let’s say a dime instead of penny. That brings the cost of our spin up to $12.50 compared to $125.

At the end of the day there is a greater potential to lose more, and lose it faster when wagering the maximum just to get a teeny bit more of a payout percentage. Wager smart when playing an online slots game and do not go with the maximum.

Choosing a Slots Game—Part II

Welcome back for Part II for Choosing an Online Slots Game. If you missed yesterday’s Choosing an Online Slots Game—Part I check it out.

This morning I am going to talk to you about the paylines an online slots game has. There is always a question of what is the best number of paylines. Really there is no right or wrong answer. It has more to do with your bankroll and what you are comfortable wagering. But when it comes to choosing an online slots game that is not going to run your bankroll out, paylines have to be considered.

Let’s look at some math. Let’s say you go with conservative wagering, which I recommend because the payout differences between denominations are not worth the losses from wagering the maximum (guess what this afternoon’s post will be about).

You are wagering a penny per payline on twenty five payline online slots game. That means a single spin costs your bankroll $0.25. Let’s say you make seven spins per minute, so that is 420 spins in an hour. In that hour you will have the potential to lose $105.

Whenever doing the math for playing an online slots game—or any online casino game for that matter—think of it in terms of loss. Wins are not guaranteed, but wagering your money means that losses are definite. Do the math for worst case scenario to allow for the best plan.

Now let’s say you are wagering that penny on a forty payline online slots game. Your total potential loss in an hour would be $168. And for one of those flashy one hundred payline online slots games? That would be a potential loss of $420.

So you can see that the number of paylines does matter. Again, there is no definite right or wrong number of paylines. What I am trying to impart here is that you should consider the number of paylines and make sure you are choosing an online slots game whose cost per spin you are comfortable with.

Choosing an Online Slots Game—Part I

When it comes to choosing an online slots game to play, you will find there are many different methods discussed in forums and such around the Internet. Some are on the aggressive side; some make no sense; and some lean on more conservative methods that are much easier on one’s bankroll. I would be one of those who choose which online slots games to play with the sense of preserving my bankroll and making it last.

So my first tip to be discussed in this series of tips for Choosing an Online Slots Game will be to avoid progressive games.

I know a lot of players are drawn to the really large, life altering jackpots, but there are a few things about progressive online slots that are dangerous to making your bankroll last.

For starters you are playing against thousands, potentially millions, of other players at the same time. All players who are currently spinning the reels are linked to the same RNG and the same jackpot. This is why there is only one huge jackpot and how a portion of each wager being fed into the jackpot.

This is compared to playing a non-progressive online slots game, which is just you and the game. You are not playing against other players. Not playing against other players means the odds are better. Playing in a linked progressive online slots game means the odds are stacked higher against you.

Another drawback to progressive online slots games are the wagers themselves. Progressive online slots games require players to wager the maximum. This means the maximum amount of coins per payline with every payline activated. This can lead to some very expensive wagering, which then depletes your bankroll much faster.

So my first tip for choosing an online slots game is to avoid progressive online slots games. This will keep you from playing in a linked game against other players, which results in much higher odds, as well as allowing you to avoid making large wagers that will run your bankroll out.

Fight Club at All Jackpots

I am breaking the rule. I am talking about a fight club. Well this is not the fight club made famous by Chuck Palahniuk so I think it is okay for me to talk about it.

Over at the Microgaming powered online casino All Jackpots there is a fight club and there are three days left to get in and swing for your online slots game.

The All Jackpots Fight Club pits two Microgaming online slots games against each other. There is a round each week with each round lasting one week; so that means twelve rounds. This round the fight is between the Hitman online slots game and the Hellboy online slots game. The way it works is that All Jackpots is tracking the wagering on each game during the course of the Fight Club promotion. Whichever online slots game is played more—based on the wagers placed—will be the winner.

The interest and promotion part for players is this: the top ten players who played the winning online slots game will be awarded. So with a new set of winners each week, that means there are 120 winners total. The top prize is $400, but the top ten will be awarded.

There are three days left in this week’s round and right now Hellboy is winning with an increase in wagering of 65.58%. But that could easily change if the Hitman players rally.

So players who want to get in on the fight need to hop over to All Jackpots to get in on the Fight Club action. Wager your best and hopefully you will be in the top ten of the winning online slots game’s scoreboard.

Club USA Comps from Slots

Playing online slots is one of the easiest ways to earn comp points at an online casino. This is because it is easy to wager more on online slots in the same time span when compared to an online card game. This means that online slots players can either rack up their comp points faster or rack up more in a given time period. Sometimes online casinos will offer special comps promotions to online slots players, enabling them to rack up comp points faster.

One such online casino is Club USA. This Real Time Gaming powered online casino offers double comp points to online slots players who are wagering on progressive online slots games. This is quite the deal.

Normally players will earn a single comp point for every $10 wagered. Once a player reaches one hundred comp points, he will have earned a free $1. So players much wager $1,000 in order to a $1 based on the math of $1 being equal to one hundred comp points, and a single comp point comes from each $10 wager.

So based on the double comp points on progressive jackpots at Club USA, players earn two points for every $10 wagered. This means players need only wager $500 in order to earn a free $1.

I know it all sounds like a lot to wager but online slots players will find that it adds up very quickly. An online slots player could wager $10 in less than five minutes. So earning comps from playing online slots is definitely doable. I mean, you might as well earn money for playing online slots since you are playing anyway.

Changes for Rival Gaming

There has been news that will have online slots players feeling a little down. But the news is not all bad.

Rival Gaming, one of the industry’s leading online slots developers and the creative force behind iSlots, has announced that it is mostly leaving the US online casino market. What they are saying is that they will be shutting their virtual doors to new online slots players from the US. That is the bad news. The good news is that if you are a US online slots player at a Rival Gaming online casino, you can still play. They are only ceasing to accept new US players; existing US players are still free to play.

The reason is likely to pertain to the current indictments and investigations by the US’s Department of Justice and US Attorney Generals’ offices. It may be a case of Rival wanting to watch themselves and scale back their reach in the US market. No one could blame them for not wanting to go through what PokerStars and Full Tilt are going through. There is also the possibility of scaling back in anticipation of the federal government regulating online casinos. We just have to wait and see if that is the direction the US federal government will take.

For the time being current US players are still able to play at Rival Gaming powered online casinos. This means that they will be able to enjoy their lineup of iSlots and 3D online slots games. Hopefully current US online slots players will not have to deal with the loss of their favorite online casinos and hopefully Rival Gaming will at least leave the door open for current players.
