Microgaming is one of the top producers of online casino games in the online gambling industry. Slots players have come to associate state of the art graphics and game quality from Microgaming online slots games.

And today Microgaming releases another little treasure into the sea of games offered by Virgin Games at their Virgin Casino.

Mermaid’s Millions is the new five reel online slots game to come out of the Microgaming creative pool. This new slots game features fifteen paylines of play. The standard wagering ranges per payline are available. Players can also adjust the number of coins they are waging on a payline from one to five. This makes the maximum coins per spin seventy five.

As for the graphics that Microgaming is reputed to give players, they do not disappoint. Players are given Neptune, Lobsters, Treasure Chests and more. Naturally there is the starring character: mermaids.

Players will find that this new online slots game foes off free spins with a 3x multiplier, triggered by landing three or more of the Scatter symbols.

And of course there is a bonus game which sends players to the sea floor in search of treasure in the barrels, clams and chests on the bottom.

Mermaid’s Millions comes on the success of the Tomb Raider online slots game that Microgaming created and released several months ago. Executives at Virgin Casino are hoping for a repeat performance in popularity.

“Following the enormous success of Tomb Raider launched a few months ago, this latest offering from Microgaming is set to be another big hit with our customers. Like Tomb Raider, Mermaid’s Millions offers the best online game functionality and great graphics—it really is a fantastically fun game to play and is of the quality and high standard that our customers have come to expect from Virgin,” said Warren Eloff, who is Head of Products at Virgin Games.

While Mermaid’s Millions carries the graphics and hallmarks of a good Microgaming online slots game, it does not have the already familiar characters derived from a movie like Tomb Raider does. The coming months will tell if this new online slots game will be as strong as Tomb Raider.

Seems that the Pharaoh is done being the King of Egypt and he is liquidating his treasure trove.

Okay, perhaps he is not leaving Egypt but the new online slots game created by Ash Gaming certainly is putting players in the position to cash in.

Ash Gaming has given this little slots gem quite the decadent treatment in terms of design. Symbols and graphics are rich in detail and lay out the land of ancient Egypt for all who wish to venture forth to claim some treasure.

Pharaoh’s Treasure is a five reel online slots game with twenty paylines. It carries the standard features of a Wild and a Scatter. Players can trigger multipliers on their Scatter payouts as well as free spins.

But the crowning feature is also what makes this game on the exclusive side. The Tutankhamen’s Tomb bonus game gives players a chance to win the progressive jackpot that this online slots game features.

I know, that does not sound so exclusive. Pharaoh’s Treasure is not the first online slots game to use the bonus game as a way of possibly winning the progressive jackpot. The exclusivity part comes into play in that only players at Virgin Games can win the progressive jackpot.

Seems Ash Gaming has made another online slots game that is, for the most part, only for Virgin Games.

Should this new online slots game ever become available to other online casinos, players will probably be able to trigger and win something in the bonus game, but that progressive jackpot is only for players at Virgin Games.

But for now the new online slots game Pharaoh’s Treasure, complete with its exclusive progressive jackpot, can be found at Virgin Games.

BetSoft has created a new 3D online slots game that has been released with their partner online casino, Party Casino.

Heist is a five reel online slots game with thirty paylines. But Heist is being called the latest in 3D online slots games, that is its claim to fame for Party Casino.

But what is a 3D online slots game? I mean, it is played on a computer with a 2D screen, so how can it be 3D? Do players play it with those red and blue 3D glasses?

These 3D online slots games are not as complicated as you might think. What makes them 3D is graphics that look three dimensional, meaning they have been created to appear to have depth and shadows, etc.

But we are not here to go on about what makes 3D online slots 3D. We are here to talk about the new online slots game Heist.

Heist centers on Neil Quailand the master mind behind seven years worth of thefts. And for all seven years Detective Albert Kowalski has been chasing him, always one step behind though.

This online slots game does come with a fun little Wild for players. In this game players takes on the identity of Neil Quailand. When it comes to those Wilds, players (as Neil) can take some explosives and blow up the reel to create an Expanding Wild. And that just sounds entertaining.

But the bonus game is where the real fun is. Blowing up reels for Expanding Wilds is one thing, but robbing a bank is another.

In the bonus game, players have to outsmart Detective Albert who is right on your tail and succeed in cleaning out the bank’s vault. If you can make it without Detective Albert catching you then you win the bonus game’s prize.

All in all, BetSoft has given players a new online slots game with a heighten thrill because the player is cast in the role of the thief. It is a thrill like when you were a kid sneaking cookies out of the cookie jar behind your mother’s back. Except this an online slots game that is encouraging you to rob a bank vault. And you can win money instead of cookies.

Join Ferris Bueller, Sloane Petterson and Ed Rooney in the third new online slots game to be rolled out recently from Cryptologic.

The Ferris Bueller online slots game is a five real with twenty five paylines. It is also a part of the Cryptologic Hollywood Progressive Jackpot series. And when playing this new online slots game do not forget your popcorn as there are a bunch of clips from the 1986 John Hughes’ movie.

While the traditional symbols are present (9, 10, J, Q, K and A), characters from the movie and other relevant symbols are there too. And by relevant I mean the car.

And speaking of cars, one of the bonus games in the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off slots game is called Kick the Car. Guess what you do in this bonus game. That is right, you will be destroying a Ferrari right there on the main playing screen, recreating that cinematic moment when the Ferrari was destroyed in the movie.

If demolishing the Ferrari is not enough to satisfy your bonus game needs there is another one called Fake the Parents. This is the bonus game that yields some rather nice payouts. The better you can fake your way out of going to school, the more money you can win. After all, this is an online slots game based on the infamous Ferris Bueller, and there is no way to avoid playing hooky.

This online slots game has got to be the best way to ‘play hooky’ as an adult. Spend a day at home on your computer enjoying Ferris Bueller and winning some extra cash.

Recently Cryptologic released three new online slots games to their partner online casinos. One of these three is making his debut into the world of online gambling. This new online slots game is called Conan the Barbarian, and it is indeed his first time showing up on the reels.

This new online slots game features five reels and nine paylines. But these are not just your ordinary paylines. Each payline has its own Crazy Jackpot and each is triggered independently from the others.

These Crazy Jackpots are triggered when five of the triggering symbol are landed on a payline. And that triggering symbol? It is none other than the barbarian himself, Conan.

In other words, land five Conans on a payline and the Crazy Jackpot for that payline is yours.

The amount of each Crazy Jackpot will vary and is determined, in part, on which payline’s jackpot you have triggered.

And what other feature do players of online slots games want? A bonus game of course. And Conan the Barbarian does indeed come with one. Conan’s bonus game is triggered when three or more of the Scatter symbol appear on the reels.

Players are then whisked away to a second screen for the bonus game. Yes, it is a ‘Pick Your Prize’ type bonus game. But a bonus game is better than no bonus game. In Conan’s bonus game players choose between the skulls to find their bonus prize payout.

While the bonus game on this new online slots game might be on the ordinary side, those Crazy Jackpots certainly make up for it. And on that note, well done, Cryptologic on your new online slots game.

You have heard of the Wonder Woman online slots game. You have also heard of the Superman online slots game. Both are the creation of Cryptologic, one of the online gambling industry’s top software developers known for their incredible graphics.

Recently Cryptologic released another DC Comics superhero out into the world of online gambling. The Green Lantern has finally made his debut in an online slots game.

This new online slots game was given, not twenty, not twenty five, but fifty paylines for players to wager on. Not to mention the Green Lantern’s online slots game also features a Bonus Bet option, but I will discuss that a little bit later.

First the Green Lantern comes with the requisite free spins and bonus game for players to spin for. But there is a special free spins and bonus game out there to trigger in this online slots game.

The special free spins feature is triggered when the Green Lantern symbol is landed on reels 2 and 4 at the same time that his battery is landed on reel 3. This special feature awards twenty four free spins with a 4x multiplier. But remember you must have the Green Lantern on reels 2 and 4 and the battery on reel 3 in order to trigger it.

As for the special bonus game, remember that Bonus Bet that I mentioned? This is where it comes into play.

Players must make the Bonus Bet in order to trigger this online slots game’s special bonus game, the Ring Battle. In this bonus game players help the Green Lantern fight against his nemesis Sinestro and his yellow ring. Defeating Sinestro can award players a multiplier of up 100x their triggering bet.

The Green Lantern is only one of three of the new online slots games recently released by Cryptologic. Keep your eyes open for news on the other two.

While perusing a Microgaming online casino, I happened across what I would have to say is the world’s most ironic online slots game.

Scrooge is a five reel online slots game with fifty paylines. The irony of this online slots game is that Scrooge is too miserly of a character to ever play slots himself. On other hand, I could see him running his own online casino.

Joining the old miser himself on the reels are Tiny Tim and Jacob Marley along with all of the Ghosts of Christmas: Past, Present and Future. The graphics are fantastic which is par the course for a Microgaming online slots game.

And like all Microgaming online slots game, this one does offer bonus features.

The Logo, representing Scrooge, is the Wild, transforming into any of the symbols other than the Scatter. But in a rare show of generosity, he will double the winnings of any combination that the Logo completes.

Remember that infamous door knocker on Scrooge’s front door? Well, it is here too and plays the part of the Scatter. Land three or more and you will be transported to the table where Christmas Dinner is to be served.

And you are doing the serving. To earn your bonus game prize you must feed Scrooge and his guests, Jacob Marley, the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

Finally there are the free spins. You could add to your free spins when you click on the winning symbol. Or you could use that click to mark a day off of your Christmas calendar. Once you hit Christmas there is another bonus prize waiting for you under the tree.

While it may not be the holiday season yet, there is nothing wrong with getting started early. And this is the Christmas online slots game of choice from Microgaming, what with all its bonus features. So catch Scrooge while he is in a generous mood.

Seems like everyone is in a hurry to release their new online slots games into the wilds of the online casino industry. Rival has made a couple of releases and Bodog has launched a new online slots game. Micorgaming and Vegas Technology cannot be far behind.

But Real Time Gaming’s latest online slots game is now here. The new five reel, twenty five payline online slots game is called Fruit Bowl XXV and it is being launched in celebration of the start of the NFL season.

Naturally the symbols are all sort of fruity—the Football is made up of a lemon with football stitching added to it. The Cheerleaders are blueberries. Other fruity symbols abound along with the Stadium, Tickets and Hats symbols.

But in this online slots game it is on between Mr. Grape and the Pineapple Boys.

Mr. Grape is not only the star of the fruity football team, he is also the Wild, substituting for all symbols except the Scatter. He also has a high payout for landing five of him: 7,500 coins.

As for that Scatter, it is the Logo. Five of those are worth a 200x multiplier. But it is also the trigger to the bonus game when you land at least three Logos.

When the game launches you will find yourself in Mr. Grape’s shoes and evading the Pineapple boys to cross the field. Just for triggering the bonus game players are awarded five free spins. But every time a player successfully evades one of the Pineapple Boys five more free spins are added.

In the bonus game, a touchdown will award you twenty five free games with a multiplier ranging from 2x to 5x. But being tackled will have the whistle blown and you will be returned to the regular game.

Like all online slots games that are a part of the Real Video Series, Fruit Bowl XXV features a major jackpot and a minor jackpot, both of which are won randomly.

I was never much of a football fan growing up, but with an online slots game like this I will be more inclined to enjoy the game. Rival has succeeded in creating a fun and bright online slots game

The more and more online slots games I see being released, the more I see with an increased number of paylines.

When I first started writing about slots many of the new online slots only had twenty paylines.

Then within the last year or so I have seen the number increase to twenty five. And really that is not too big of an increase. If you are wagering $0.01 per payline, it makes a spin cost $0.25 instead of $0.20. So you get four spins per dollar instead of five.

But with the release of some of the new online slots games in July I noticed that several had forty paylines and there have been a couple with one hundred paylines so far this year. Again, at $0.01 per payline, that makes a spin cost $0.40 and $1 respectively.

This is where you online slots strategy comes in to play.

The point of strategy in the case of online slots is to keep you from losing money too quickly. Key points in online strategy are to do a little research and find the online slots game with the highest payout percentage. Also, stop spinning the reels as fast as you—this is not a race! Unless you are racing to lose your money.

So, online slots strategy for paylines. Obviously the more paylines a game has the more it costs per spin. Oh sure, you could choose not to play all of the paylines but that defeats the purpose of having all those paylines.

The best that you can do in terms of slots strategy and paylines is stick to the online slots games with twenty or twenty five paylines.

Such games still offer the features players like to see in online slots games (bonus games, free spins, wilds and scatters), but the number of paylines will not eat into your bankroll too quickly. And that is the point of online slots strategy—to save your bankroll so that you can keep on enjoying the game and maybe hit it big.

Remember back a few months and you will recall that I mentioned that Microgaming would be developing a new online slots game based on Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, but its release was still several months away.

Well the wait is over. The new online slots game, Lord of the Rings, will soon be released to two Microgaming powered online casinos: All Slots and Ladbrokes Casino. Within a few weeks the Lord of the Rings online slots game will make its way to other Microgaming powered online casinos.

The Lord of the Rings online slots game is not going to be based on the books though. Instead it will be based on the movies by Peter Jackson: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

So get ready to see Elijah Wood’s face on the reels. As Frodo he is bound to be there.

Roger Raatgever, the Chief Executive Officer of Microgaming, had words ready about how happy he is to see the online slots game’s nearing release:

“We are excited about creating state of the art video slots from the best movie trilogy of the decade. We look forward to bringing the Lord of the Rings into the online gaming sphere, where our expertise in game quality and speed to market will ensure its success. The Lord of the Rings has a huge entrenched fan base, with over 97% awareness of the film franchise, as well as phenomenal and unprecedented home video success.”

So start placing your bets on whether Frodo will make it to Mount Doom to destroy the ring. Hey, that would make an entertaining bonus game, would it not? Help Frodo destroy the One Ring.

Drop by All Slots or Ladbrokes in the coming days to try out what is sure to another successful Microgaming new online slots game.
