Cleopatra’s Pyramid Review

June 22nd, 2010

This is an older online slots game from Vegas Technology, but it is a popular online slots game as I have seen this five reel, twenty payline game used for tournaments fairly often at Vegas Tech online casinos.

Visually this is a stunning online slots game. It has to be one of my favorites from Vegas Technology when it comes to the graphics: bright colors, smooth animation, even the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A are dressed up for this online slots game.

As I said this is one of my favorites in terms of graphics, otherwise Cleopatra’s Pyramid is not full of riches. But then, historically speaking, she did not keep her riches in her pyramid. In fact, she did not have a pyramid; she had her riches moved into her mausoleum that the Romans raided when they invaded Egypt.

On that note, perhaps I should try looking for riches in a Roman themed online slots game.

Anyway, the features offered in this online slots game seem pretty good:

Cleopatra is the Wild. She is one of those Wilds that double the winnings of any combination she completes. Thankfully she does appear fairly often.

The Scarab is the Scatter. And while its minimum payout has a 2x multiplier on the total amount of a spin, the minimum three needed to trigger the fifteen free spins never seem to appear at the same time. I never once triggered the free spins.

The Pyramids that apparently belong to Cleopatra are the trigger to the bonus game. They only appear on reels two and four though, and in order to trigger them they must not only both be present but land on an active payline.

Unfortunately I do not find this to be a bonus game worth the spins it takes to trigger it. Slots players are presented with seven rows of bricks in a pyramid. They must choose a block from each row to remove; reveal a cobra and the game ends.

The problem with this bonus game is that the bricks only reveal amounts such as $0.20 and $0.60. The most I was able to win off a bonus game was $1.60. And this is at $0.20 per spin.

On the whole while I would play this online slots game to enjoy the graphics, I would not expect riches from here. So perhaps we should be off to a Vegas Technology online casino to play a Roman themed online slots game to look for the riches stolen from Egypt.

$50,000 Slots Tournament at Go Casino

March 10th, 2010

Coming soon Go Casino will be hosting an online slots tournament with a larger than normal prize pool.

Typically Go’s prize pools have been around $15,000 to $25,000. But coming soon they will be having one in which $50,000 will be given away to players in the tournament.

Starting Friday, March 19th at 8pm and continuing to Tuesday, March 23rd at 8pm will be the 50K Guaranteed Weekend Madness.

Slots players can buy into this tournament for only $12.99, which when compared with the prize pool, is a low buy in amount. I have seen other tournaments in which the buy in is $15.99 or more and the prize pool is smaller. With that comparison in mind, this is not too bad of a tournament to enter.

For the $12.99 buy in the participants in this 50K Guaranteed Weekend Madness will be given 325 coins to play with. Participants will have to increase their amount of coins to rank on the tournament’s leader board. But should any participant run out of coins they can rebuy into the tournament for another $12.99

The $50,000 prize pool is made up of two parts. There is $30,000 in prize money and $20,000 in bonus bucks. This is similar to Go’s twenty four hour tournaments which feature a total prize pool of $8,888; $4,444 is in prize money and the other $4,444 is in bonus bucks. So slots players that have participated in those tournaments should be familiar with the two parts of the prize pool concept.

For this online slots tournament, Go has chosen the five reel, twenty payline Cleopatra’s Pyramid for tournament play. This slots game does offer a bonus game and fifteen free spins for players to play for.
