Virgin Launches New Monopoly Slots Game

Virgin Casino is known for launching new online slots games with some flair. This month they are launching the new Monopoly themed online slots game entitled Monopoly: You’re in the Money. This is how this online casino launches its new online slots games.

Before we get to the promotion, let’s take a look at this online slots game first. For starters this is a five reel, thirty payline slots game. Its call to fame is its bonus games, of which there are two: the Mystery Wild bonus and the Board bonus.

The Board bonus has players playing their way around the Monopoly board to earn their bonus prizes. The Mystery Wild bonus turns all five reels into wild reels which, as you can imagine, creates some incredible bonus payouts.

Naturally with a new online slots game, Virgin Casino is offering a promotion to get this online slots game out and into their players’ line of sight. This time instead of the tiered prize structure that they have used for the last couple of online slots games’ launches, Virgin is going with a weekend getaway for its grand prize:

In order to be eligible to win the VIP weekend to Mayfair, the player must be the highest wager on the new Monopoly online slots game with a wager over £40,000. The highest wagering player will win the trip for two.

The second highest wagering player will win £500.

The third highest wagering player will win £350.

For players who wager at least £2,500 they will win a prize of £50.

Finally players who wager a minimum of £500, they will be entered into a drawing to receive one of five electronic gadgets worth £200 each.

These wagers must be made on the Monopoly: You’re in the Money online slots game at Virgin Casino. All wagers have to be a made by 11:59 pm on August 12th.

Third New Slots Game for August

Microgaming was sure out of the gate this month. Here it is only the second day of August and already we have some of the details about their third new online slots game for this month.

If you tuned in yesterday, you know that the other two new online slots games from Microgaming this month are the multiplayer format of Isis and the second in a new format of online slots called Triangulation.

Microgaming’s third online slots game to be released this month takes the route of the more traditional online slots game. By that I mean that it does not fall in with any new trends in the slots industry, nor does it fall in with a new format of online slots play. This is a new theme with the usual approach to online slots. Not that a traditional approach is a bad thing; sometimes it is nice to go back to the familiar way of playing. Not to mention it lets players sit back and enjoy a new theme without focusing on the game too closely.

The new theme to come from Microgaming is Mount Olympus: Revenge of Medusa. Beware—Medusa is not someone to mess with.

Actually players will want to come up against Medusa. Her head of snakes is the trigger for the bonus game in this online slots game. Players will also have the opportunity to trigger a free spins feature and receive wild and scatter payouts. There will be more details on Mount Olympus: Revenge of Medusa once Microgaming actually releases its new batch of online slots games this month. So stay tuned.

Triangulation Online Slots

Whenever pushing the limit is mentioned with regard to online slots games, Microgaming is always one of the software developers mentioned along with Rival Gaming and Real Time Gaming. These three companies are responsible for some of the most contemporary features and formats of online slots games.

Last month Microgaming introduced a new format in a new online slots game they were calling Hexaline. This new type of online slots game had players not trying to match symbols but to land chains of hexagons with the same color. The line would then disappear Tetris style, and then be randomly replaced with new hexagons. This gave this new online slots game the potential to have more than one payout on a single spin.

That ability to win more than once on a single spin—as well as the shapes instead of symbols—is what has created the popularity and draw of this new format of online slots game.

Well now Microgaming has done it again. This morning I discussed one of the three new online slots games they are launching this month. Now I will introduce you to the second new online slots game they will be launching: Triangulation.

The principle behind Triangulation is like Hexaline. Online slots players must line up chains of matching colored triangles in order to receive a payout. The amount of the payout is determined by the color of the triangle chain. Once the payout is made, the chain of triangles will disappear and new random triangles will replace them. Again, the possibility for more than one payout per spin is possible in this new take on an online slots format from Microgaming.

Microgaming’s New Multi Player Slots Game

Not too long ago I discussed one of the emerging trends in online slots, the multi player online slots game. So far the online software developer to really latch on to this new multi player format for online slots is Microgaming. But we all know how smooth they are when it comes to being innovative with their online slots games.

Now that we are in a new month it means new online slots games, and Microgaming is not about to disappoint. They have taken one of their popular classic titles from their slots line up and created a new game.

The remade classic slots game is the five reel, forty payline Isis slots game. Now it comes in a multi player format which is to be launched this month.

Like in a standard multi player online slots game, players will be grouped into rooms based on their wagers. This is to prevent a high roll from coming up against a low stakes player. Players in the same room will have the ability to chat with each other. Once the bonus game triggers, players will receive a portion of the bonus prize based on their points standing in their room.

Microgaming has not limited the new multi player Isis slots game to only the group bonus game. They have also given this online slots game a free spins feature that includes stacked wilds.

This new multi player format of Isis is set to hit Microgaming powered online casinos this month. This is one of three new online slots games to be launched by Microgaming this month so keep your eye out at Microgaming powered online casinos, such as All Jackpots, for the arrival of the new multi player Isis online slots game as well as two others. Stay tuned to hear about those two…

3D Slots for Real

The last several months has seen online slots game developers creating and launching quite a few 3D online slots games. While these delightful creations are not limited to one software developer, Rival Gaming has been in the lead in terms of creating the most to date, but Microgaming might have created the only true 3D online slots game. Read on to get the difference.

In reality there are actually two types of 3D online slots games. Well now there are since Microgaming’s release of Sterling Silver 3D online slots last month. Prior to that release, 3D slots were not actually three dimensional in that the images seemed to come out of the screen with the help of special glasses.

Up until Sterling Silver 3D, 3D online slots were slots games with exceptionally high quality graphics; the kinds of graphics that make you think of Toy Story or other Pixar creations. These are graphics that appear three dimensional while being presented in a two dimensional format.

These were the 3D online slots games that players were familiar with, and they have become quite popular for their graphics quality.

But last month Microgaming launched a real 3D online slots game: Sterling Silver 3D. This online slots game does require special glasses to make the graphics pop out of the screen like how elements of a 3D movie pop out of the movie screen. Players have to request a pair of 3D glasses from the online casino they play at.

Do not think that real 3D online slots games will replace the most common form of 3D online slots games—their graphics ensure that they will be around for quite some time and that we will see more produced…of both varieties.

Little Extra Slots Money

Every online slots player looks forward to the weekend. This is when the big tournaments happen and this is also when online casinos put out their new weekly bonuses. They wait until Friday so that these online slots bonuses are fresh and players are eager for some extra money to get the weekend started with.

We here at Slots Hero have the rundown of the new online slots bonuses at Slots Jungle in their Tickle Me Pink bonus set. There are three bonuses that online slots players can choose from to take advantage of and play with. Players have the ability to claim these bonuses up to fifteen times over the course of the next seven days. There is a 30 xs wager requirement on each bonus, so keep that in mind as well as the fact that these Tickle Me Pink bonuses are only eligible for online slots.

For online slots players who are making a deposit a minimum deposit of $21, they can use the coupon code PINK192 to receive a 192% bonus.

There is 233% online slots bonus for players who make a minimum deposit of $100 when turning in the coupon code PINK233.

At Slots Jungle they always make sure that there is something for their high rollers. This week those who deposit a minimum of $500 can claim a 340% bonus with the coupon code PINK340.

Those are three good reasons to start your weekend off at Slots Jungle. But even if that is not your home online casino, hope of over to their promotions page and see what your home online casino is offering its online slots players. Or give a look at Slots Jungle. Part of the appeal of their online slots bonuses is that players can still play the Real Series of online slots from Real Time Gaming while working on fulfilling their wager requirement.

More Slots Go Mobile

A handful of Microgaming online slots games have made their way into the mobile gaming realm. To the Android realm to be specific.

If you are a fan of the Thunderstruck, Tomb Raider or Mermaid’s Millions then you will be happy with their cross over to the mobile online gambling side of the industry. This app will allow players to take those three classics on the road.

If you are more of a progressive slots player, two Microgaming slots games have also made the jump: Mega Moolah and Major Moolah. Both of those two progressive slots games will be linked to the progressive jackpots in their online counterparts so that players will be playing against others who are wagering for the chance to win it. It will be like taking those two progressive out of your computer and onto the road with you.

All five of these online slots games will be available for free play but also for real money play as well; a sure sign that mobile gaming is going to play a huge role in the online casino industry this year and next. But for now those five Microgaming slots can now be found available in a free download for Android.

All five online slots games from Microgaming will be available in a free download on the Android platform in a single app called All Slots Casino Lobby. This app also has six other online casino games as well. Oh, and it is ad free too! But bear in mind that Microgaming does not except US players so this app may not be available to US Android owners despite the free play option.

Minding Your Slots Money

We have talked more than once about how there really is no viable online slots strategy. That it is because the slots game’s Random Number Generator (RNG) and the actual set up of the game makes it impossible for the player to have any impact on the outcome of a spin. So what is there that a player can control?

Money. An online slots player can control their money. To a certain degree, meaning they are in charge of how they wager and whether or not they use any progression betting systems.

First off, it is not a wise decision to use a progression betting systems. The doubling of a wager until a win is made more often than not results in an online slots player’s bankroll being whipped out in no time. The best way to wager on slots is to stick to flat betting, meaning choose the amount you wish to wager and stick with it until you feel the need to lower or raise your wager, and then stick with that.

Also of note when minding your money and wagering on slots is how you wager on paylines. There is no payline that is more likely to land a winning combination than another. It is therefore foolish to set some paylines with a higher wager than others. This is not optimal slots wagering. Optimal payline waging in slots is to bet evenly on all paylines. This will ensure that no matter where a winning combination lands, it has just as much of a chance of paying out as it would on any other payline.

With no viable strategy for impacting an outcome of a spin, it is very important for online slots players to mind their money. Bankroll management is a key ingredient in playing online slots.

Slots Myth: Using Intuition

When it comes to choosing an online slots game, there are people who will tell you to base your choice on intuition. After all, using your intuition is a classic Vegas way of determining how to play you cards or slots or choose which numbers to play.

Unfortunately this is not the best way to choose which online slots game to play despite how prevalent the ‘Let Your Intuition Be Your Guide’ slots strategy is. If you are playing a strategy game, then use bona-fide strategy. And if you are playing a game of chance, like online slots, make your decisions based on what you want. If you really want to play that Egyptian themed slots game, then play that one.

Online slots are not just a form of gambling, it is also a form of entertainment. So you should enjoy the slots game you are playing. If your intuition seems to think you should play a slots game that you do not want to play, do not play it then.

There are a number of reasons for choosing a particular online slots game. A popular method is to choose based on the payout percentage of an online slots game. The payout percentage is the amount of total wagers paid back in winnings in a given time period, usually a month.

Another way to choose is to read the forums on online casino sites and see which slots games everyone is talking about. Read and find out why there is such a buzz about a game and then decide if you want to play it.

But it is unwise to look at a lineup of online slots and see which one ‘feels’ like it will payout. It has been proven time and again in studies that intuition is not a proper guide on how to play online slots or any other online casino game. Blindly choosing which or how to play online slots is more often than not detrimental to a player’s bankroll. And not online slots player wants to do anything that would be detrimental to their bankroll when playing a game of chance.

Online Slots Lineups

Have you ever considered how an online casino presents their online slots lineup? Most players do not. But that is not surprising. It is a detail after all. And in most cases the lineup is pretty standard and of no consequence.

By that I mean that the online casino lists its online slots in alphabetical order, with the newest slots at the front with a ‘New’ designation. And once the games are no longer new or when new online slots come out, the previous ‘New’ online slots will be placed in alphabetical order with the rest. This is pretty common.

However, from time to time players might come across an online casino whose online slots lineup does not seem to be in any particular order. Not alphabetic. Not grouped by common themes. The slots just seem to be there in no order. Why could that be?

One answer is that it is possible that the online casino in question could have just kept adding to their slots lineup without imposing any order; just placing the newest slots at the front.

Or the online casino could have a strategic order to their lineup. It is possible that the first few online slots games are hot slots whose placement could result in players trying those first, getting the idea that there are hot slots games to be found at this online casino. After those few hot slots would come a string of cold slots games which are in place to scoop up player money.

This is not always the case with a random lineup of online slots. But since land casinos will have a strategic placement when it comes to the placement of their hot and cold slot machines, it warrants that some online casinos could try to invoke the same thing. Most do not since it is easier for players to find the online slots game they desire when the listing is alphabetical.
