Find your own little piece of paradise in another new online slots game from Vegas Technology.

This new five reel, twenty five payline online slots game is called Paradise Riches and features an exotic summery beach theme. This comes across in the Dolphins, Coconuts, Island Drinks and other tropically oriented symbols.

While it does not carry all of the bonus features that Vegas Technology’s other new online slots game, Agent Cash, does Paradise Riches does not come to players empty handed.

There is only one Wild in Paradise Riches, but it is a Wild that pays. When substituting for any symbol other than the Scatter, there is a 3x multiplier on any winning combination that the Hula Girl helps to complete.

On top of the 3x multiplier, the Hula Girl will also payout a 10,000 coin jackpot for landing five of her on the reels.

The Tropical Flower is the Scatter in Paradise Riches. Players need only land a minimum of two to be awarded a Scatter payout.

But three or more Tropical Flowers will trigger the free spins feature. Twelve free spins are awarded and each free spins has a multiplier of 3x on it. As another little bonus, players can retrigger the free spins as long as all twenty five paylines are active.

The cost of a spin on Paradise Riches starts at $0.25 ($0.01 per payline) and goes up as high as $125 ($5 per payline) per spin. This range makes this a good online slots game for a high roller or basic player or someone who is just looking for some relaxing slots play in paradise.

Vegas Technology has done a good job in creating a new online slots game to gives off a relaxing feeling while at the same time giving players a good game.

Under the sea themes are quite common for online slots games. It seems that every software manufacturer of online casino games has created at least one—yes, there are some software providers who have created more than one.

Today we are going to take a look at the under the sea themed offering from Vegas Technology: Mermaid’s Quest.

Vegas Technology is one of the newer software providers in the online casino game industry. But just because they are new does not mean they are not good. In 2005 they won Top New Casino Software in a reader’s poll in Gambling Online Magazine.

So just because they are a newer software provider does not mean they are not capable of producing quality online slots games.

In fact, Mermaid’s Quest is one of their highest rated online slots games. This is because, with only eight paylines, it is an easy to understand game with a profitable bonus game. And we all know how much online slots players like their bonus games.

Naturally all of the graphics and symbols are of creatures that live under the sea and include the Mermaid, King Neptune and a Treasure Chest.

That bonus game I mentioned is triggered by landing at least three of the Mermaids. Players are then taken over to a second screen pick-your-prize bonus game for what is considered a strong bonus game when compared to how simple the regular play is.

There are also free spins in this online slots game. These ten free spins with a 2x multiplier are triggered when three King Neptunes are landed.

Naturally there is a wild in Mermaid’s Quest as well: the Treasure Chest. While it does not have a multiplier on it, it does offer a rather large 10,000 jackpot for landing five of them on an active payline.

Mermaid’s Quest is a fine online slots game offering from Vegas Technology, and it continues to be one of that software provider’s highest rated online slots game.

Microgaming certainly keeps busy. Despite launching what is probably going to be one of their most popular online slots games, Lord of the Rings did not slow down their developers and there is another new online slots game launched this month too. Although with much less fanfare.

The new five reel Tally Ho online slots game has been launched.

Taking a break from the usual twenty or twenty five paylines, Tally Ho only offers nine paylines to play on. This is good because it cuts down the cost of a spin, but it also reduces the opportunities per spin to land a combination.

Naturally the name Tally Ho brings to mind the traditional English fox hunt. And, yes, you will be spinning the reels in hopes of finding a fox, but only because Lord Fox offers a payout of 750 coins while Lady Fox offers a 600 coin payout.

That is all the fox hunting you will be doing. The rest of the symbols are there to show off the rich lifestyle that these foxes now have since fox hunting is not nearly as common as it used to be. Such symbols include the Fox’s Mansion, Rolls Royce, Crest, and six symbols of rich, decadent food.

There are two symbols though that allude to the English fox hunt of old: the Horse and the Horn.

The Horse is the Wild. Rather than hurting the Foxes, the Horse helps as it will substitute for any symbol for the Foxes’ rich lifestyle, adding a 2x multiplier to any combination it completes. The only symbol it does not substitute for is the Horn.

The Horse also offers the two highest payouts: 6,000 coins for five Horses and 1,000 coins for four Horses.

As for that Horn, it is the Scatter and the trigger for free spins feature.

Three or more Horns and you will be awarded with ten free spins that carry a 4x multiplier on each spin. This brings the possibility of winning a maximum of 24,000 coins from one free spin.

The new online slots game Tally Ho offers players fun, hunting-free fun with the graphics and animation that Microgaming is known for. A nice release even if it has to share its release month with Lord of the Rings.

Seeing what new online slots games are released is the best part of each month. Today we finally see this month’s release by Real Time Gaming.

Joining their Real series of online slots games is Goblin’s Treasure, a five reel online slots game with twenty five paylines.

According to legends and mythology, goblins are often associated with treasure and riches, but you have to manage to get it away from them first. So this is a very fitting theme for a slots game.

True to the Real series of online slots games by Real Time Gaming, Goblin’s Treasure entices players with two jackpots—a minor and a major—as well as a win-win feature.

Neither one of the jackpots has a limit on how high it can climb before being won. And when the minor jackpot resets, it resets to $250 while the major reset to $1,000.

The win-win feature is only triggered if bonus credits are not won in the free spins feature.

The way it works is that the free spins are triggered by the landing three of the Scatter symbol just like in any online slots game. However free spins do not guarantee that any bonus money will be won; they are simply spins that will not cost the player any money.

Should a player not be lucky enough to take some of the Goblin’s treasure away during any of the free spins, the win-win feature is then triggered. It is during the win-win feature that the player can win up 1,000x their wager.

So I guess you could say that a player will not come away from a Real series slots game’s free spins with nothing.

To top these features off Goblin’s Treasure also boosts multiplying Wilds. That should not be surprising—goblins are clever little thing, which is why there is also a Wild Goblin who, when landed on the first reel, will award a 5x multiplier to the wager.

Real Time has given everything they can to help players win some treasure away from the goblins in Goblin’s Treasure. This new online slots game can be found at Real Time Gaming online casinos, like Club USA. So who is going to take the chance to try to steal away some goblin treasure?

Seems that between the True Blood TV show and the Twilight craze vampires are the ‘in’ supernatural creature right now. So it is no surprise that there would be new online slots games created with vampire themes.

Several months ago Vegas Technology released their new online slots game with a vampire theme called Vampire Vixen.

Now, at the height of the True Blood enthusiasm, WagerWorks is releasing their own new online slots game with a vampire theme. They are calling it Bitten.

The comic book style graphics are more reminiscent of Twilight rather than True Blood, but it seems that they were aiming at the adult audience of Twilight:

“WagerWorks has capitalized on what is proving to be a global phenomenon right now—vampires! …Fans of blood sucking movies such as Twilight will love its superb comic book inspired graphics,” said Head of Products at Virgin Games Warren Eloff.

I have to honest. I am about as much of a fan of Twilight as a homeless person is of being homeless. I am, however, a fan of good features. And thankfully Bitten has them.

There is no bonus game in Bitten. However it does have a pretty awesome Wild. This Wild not only substitutes for other symbols to create winning combinations, it also works as a Scatter symbol. So if you happen to land two or three you will receive a Scatter payout on top of any winning combinations it completes.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Wild symbol also carries a 2xmultiplier on any winning combination it helps to complete.

Landing three or more bonus symbols will trigger the free spins feature. Once triggered players will find themselves traveling to a crypt where they choose a coffin. Each coffin contains a number of free spins. So choose your resting place well as it determines the number of your free spins.

The best part of these free spins is that their multiplier is not fixed—it increases more and more with each free spin.

So despite the Twilight inspired take on the vampire theme, Bitten carries some decent game features. WagerWorks has done well with its new online slots game.

Microgaming is at it again. As if creating three brand new online slots tournaments and revamping the older favorite game For Love and Money were not enough, they are now releasing yet another new online slots game: Loaded.

This new offering is inspired by the flashy hip hop culture that is popular right now. The new online slots game features graphics such as Limos, expensive Boats, beautiful women and hip guys. There is also the top rapper of this little hip hop world, Triple 7. Oh and do not forget his super flashy Ring.

The five reel, twenty five payline new online slots game from the ever impressive Microgaming offers all of the standard features players have come to expect. The game carries a regular jackpot of $35,000 and a bonus feature jackpot of $140,000.

As for those features, the super rap star Triple 7 is this online slots game’s Wild. But he is not the top rap star of this little world for nothing. He will award players with a 3x multiplier on any winning combination he helps to complete.

The free spins on this new online slots game are a bit different from ordinary free spins, but they are not a new concept as Microgaming has used the same concept before.

In addition to being the Scatter, landing three or more of Triple 7’s Ring will trigger the free spins feature, which begins with players choosing how many free spins they would like: 12, 16 or 24. But it is not necessarily the easy decision it seems.

Each choice has a multiplier attached to it. The largest multiplier is attached to the least amount of spins and the lower multiplier is attached to the greater amount of free spins. It is one of those bonus features in which you pick which you want more: a bigger multiplier or more spins.

Loaded is likely to become another Microgaming favorite but I somehow doubt it will have the lasting power online slots games like Thunderstruck, its sequel, Tomb Raider and the now popular new online slots game Lord of the Rings.

Slots players hear a few times a month about how casino game developers create and launch new online slots games. But they do not often hear about an older online slots game that gets revamped.

Think of it as making the online slots game in question new and improved.

Such is the case with Rival’s recent revamp of For Love and Money. This five reel, fifteen payline online slots game has been a staple at Rival powered online casinos. Even the launch of new online slots games, including the newer iSlots, cannot take the fans away from For Love and Money.

Well, Rival has finally recognized the draw this online slots game has, and has given it a facelift and relaunched it as a new online slots game.

But fans of the original game will not be disappointed. The same features that were loved in the original are there still. Mostly it was the graphics of this ‘new’ online slots game that have been given a going over: symbols have been cleaned up and animation smoothed out.

The story—and attachment—to this particular online slots game can be found in the opening:

A poet is contemplating love. He sees an older couple, obviously married for money, who are not all that fond of each other. Then he spies a young woman who is set upon by two nasty men; she is then saved by a Fabio-esque man—huge muscles, trim waist and lace up pants (which are kind of funny actually). The poet, I am assuming, believes this couple to be together for love.

Symbols include both couples, the nasty men and love symbols such as Love Birds, Chocolates, Roses and Poetry.

The Poet is the Wild and will substitute for any symbol other than the Scatter. He must be a good poet as he carries a 2x multiplier.

Cupid is the Scatter. A minimum of three Cupids landed will trigger ten free spins with a 3x multiplier.

So as players can see the favorite older features of For Love and Money are still there, just with cleaner graphics and better animation. I have to say that Rival did well with this ‘new’ online slots game. I would only have added a bonus game in which players helped Fabio rescue his girl, or one in which the players helped the unfortunate money man escape his woman.

Yes, you read that correctly. This online slots game has one hundred paylines for players to play on.

The online slots game is called Cashapillar, named after the caterpillar that stares in the game. Though oddly enough, it is the centipede that has one hundred games. But I guess online slots game developers can be lax on their entomology.

Cashapillar is being launched today at Virgin Casino, which is owned by Virgin Games. Although this online slots game is new to Virgin Casino, it is not by any means a new online slots game. Cashapillar was created a couple of years ago by Microgaming. It can be found in many Microgaming powered online casinos.

Other than the one hundred paylines, this is a five reel online slots game with an insect party theme. Apparently the Cashapillar who is really a centipede is celebrating his birthday, and has invited all of his little bug friends to help him come celebrate. I hope they help him blow out the one hundred candles that would be on his cake.

Like any good Microgaming online slots game, this one comes with some good features. There is a Wild, a Scatter, free spins, multipliers and a Stacked Wild.

A Stacked Wild is when the Wild symbol is stacked, in this case five high, on the reels, making it more likely to have a Wild completing a combination. The Stacked Wild can be found on all five reels of Cashapillar.

As for rewards, the potential is definitely there. Players can win up to 2,000 coins in regular play and up to 6,000 coins in the free spins feature. That is on a single payline. Now factor in all one hundred paylines and there is the potential to win two million coins in regular play and six million in the free spins.

In regards to the paylines and Stacked Wilds, Warren Eloff, Head of Products at Virgin Games, had this to say:

“With 100 paylines, this latest release from Microgaming is certainly a unique addition to our game portfolio. The plentiful paylines together with the stacked wilds makes this slot enormously rewarding and fun.”

While the theme and the bonus features definitely add to this online slots game, the only thing that actually worries me is the paylines themselves. Even wagering at the minimum amount per payline, a single spin can still cost $1.

Cashapillar can be found at just about any Microgaming powered online casino, such as All Jackpots. And now it can be found at Virgin Casino as well.

Clue was one of my favorite board games when I was a kid. I think it was the mystery aspect of the game that I liked—the Whodunit question that hangs over the game. Naturally I was quite happy when I learned that there was an online slots game that had been based on Clue.

For some odd reason when Wagerworks created this online slots game they named it Cluedo rather than just calling it Clue, like how they called the Monopoly online slots game Monopoly. Oh, well, I am not going to try to divine the workings of game developers.

On to Cluedo.

Cluedo is a five reel online slots game made, as already stated, by Wagerworks with twenty paylines. The theme of this online slots game was taken from the board game Clue, and as such features the infamous cast of Clue: Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Ms White and Colonel Mustard.

Cluedo features my favorite presentation of the traditional 9, 10, J, Q, K and Ace symbols in any slots game. Recall that there were six weapons in the board game. And that the traditional symbols are six in number. Guess what graces each of the traditional symbols. That is right—a weapon.

Like any good online slots game this one does offer players two Wilds and a Scatter. The Wilds will substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter. The Wild symbol quite plainly says Wild, and the other Wild symbol says MegaJackpots. Both will give a 2x multiplier for any combination they complete.

The Scatter is the Mystery symbol. Landing three or more will trigger a flash of lightening and review five golden secret reels. The free spins feature begins with 15 free spins, but more can be triggered during a free spin session.

Cluedo does offer a progressive jackpot, but there are some things you need to know before playing about this one.

Only players who are betting the maximum have a shot at triggering it. The only way to trigger it is to land five MegaJackpots symbols on the center payline. It must be the center payline. Any other payline will only award the standard amount for landing five of that symbol.

One more downside to this online slots game is that it is one of the few out there in the online casino world that you cannot play for free. It is real money players only.

Overall, I like the theme of the Cluedo online slots game. But the real money players only part is a big turn off, and the center payline being the only line for triggering the MegaJackpots is another downer.

Monopoly. You either love it or you hate it. Personally, I like the game. So I was quite happy to learn that Wagerworks had created an online slots game based on the Milton Bradley classic.

As an online slots game, Monopoly is a five reel online slots game with nine paylines. The regular game is a little on the basic side. It features Monopoly themed-graphics, but the classic fruit symbols are there too.

With the Monopoly online slots game it is the bonus features that truly make this game.

Naturally there is a Wild: Mr. Monopoly himself. He will substitute for all symbols in the game except for the two bonus symbols. Sadly, he does not offer a multiplier on combinations he completes. I guess he has got to keep a little money to himself.

But the Pass Go bonus game more than makes up for a lack of a Wild multiplier. The Pass Go bonus game is triggered by landing three Dice on a payline. Once triggered the regular playing screen vanishes and players find themselves with a Monopoly board on their screen.

The Dice that triggered the bonus game then each reveal a number of dice rolls for the actual game. Players have the allotted amount of rolls to travel around the Monopoly board to collect bonus prizes to add to their starting bonus amount of 10 coins.

Each deed on the board has a bonus amount assigned to it, and landing on that deed automatically adds that bonus amount to the player’s total. Every time Go is passed the amount of the deed bonuses increases. If you land directly on Go you receive a 2x multiplier.

Free Parking will award a random bonus amount for landing on it. And Chance will move the player to a random spot on the board to collect that bonus and continue from there.

Even Jail is not bad in this bonus game. Players have three chances to roll doubles to not only get out of jail, but to get a multiplier for their bonus. Rolling doubles the first time awards a 5x multiplier; the second time awards a 3x multiplier; and the third time awards a 2x multiplier. If you do not roll doubles you get to leave Jail anyway and continue on your way.

When the bonus game is over any multipliers you have won are factored into your bonus prize before returning you to regular game play.

Thanks to that Pass Go bonus game, the Monopoly online slots game is quite full of fun features and chances to win money.
