Beetles and Online Slots Games

August 19th, 2010

Shh.

There are bugs in your online slots game.

More specifically, there are beetles.

Actually this is another 9 reel, five payline online slots game called Beetle Frenzy.

While Chinese Kitchen was a graphically entertaining online slots game, it lacked features that online slots players expect online slots games to have. Those features being free spins and a bonus game. Oh, and a Wild.

Actually this online slots game has several bonus features.

There are two bonus games to begin with:

The Bug Collector bonus game is triggered when three Glass Jars are landed on a payline. Then there is the Flower Frenzy bonus game. There are three different colored flowers in this online slots game. Landing three of the same color on a payline will trigger the Flower Frenzy bonus game.

As for the free spins, any symbol can trigger them. Which is why this is called the Lucky Spin feature. All that needs to happen is to either land the same symbol in all four corners, or land the same symbol in the middle space of all four sides.

The Lightening Beetle is the Wild. This little guy will substitute for any symbol in the game other than the Scatter.

And speaking of the Scatter, it is the Golden Apple. The multiplier on its payout starts at 2x for two Golden Apples, and maxes out at 400x for eight Golden Apples. And nine Golden Apples is the trigger for the jackpot: 500x the triggering wager.

One thing of note though is that the wagering works a little bit differently on this online slots game. All five paylines are active. The only wager controls the player has it the amount he is wagering and how many coins he is wagering.

The good thing about this is that players are not going to have to increase their wager to activate all the paylines. Think of it as similar to betting on one payline, but getting all the paylines active.

In short, players are only paying to spin the reels on this online slots game without worry over what paylines are active or not.

On the whole, the range of bonus features on this online slots game could make a player quite happy. Not to mention the slightly unique slots betting method here. I do not think I mind having beetles in my online slots game.

New Online Slots Game: Mermaid’s Millions

August 19th, 2010

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.

New Online Slots Game: Spring Break

August 13th, 2010

I know, it is practically half way through August and school will soon be back in session, but regardless Microgaming has released a new online slots game called Spring Break.

Spring Break is a five reel new online slots game with nine paylines and lots of fun in the sun. Symbols include guys and gals in their bathing suits on the beach or at the pool, a Sun Set, some Barbecue (yum!), Burgers, Pizza, Chips and Beer.

But the spring fun does not stop there. Players will be spinning the reels to win some money to bring home from their spring break antics—it is not all about partying and the beach, souvenirs are needed too. And what better souvenir is there from this online slots game than some money.

To help players rake in even more winnings, Microgaming has given its new online slots game a Wild, but it is a Wild with a 2x multiplier on it. The Logo will substitute for any symbols other than the Beach Party Scatter, but then nothing substitutes for a good party.

Get ready to have some fun. Landing three or more of the Beach Party Scatter will set your reels to spinning. Fifteen free spins are awarded for landing those Scatters. And each of those fifteen free spins has a 3xmultiplier attached to it. Quite the party.

Even better is that more free spins can be triggered during a free spins. All it takes is another three Beach Party Scatters to be landed for fifteen more free spins to be awarded.

Like all Microgaming online slots games, Spring Break does offer a gamble feature. It is the standard ‘Guess the Color or Suit’ type of gamble features. Guessing the correct color will double your win; and the correct suit will quadruple your win.

Despite the odd timing for this new online slots game’s release, Microgaming did not go wrong in its creation. Think of it as the last fling of the summer.

New Online Slots Game: Pharaoh’s Treasure

August 12th, 2010

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.

New Online Slots Game: Green Lantern

August 9th, 2010

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.

Microgaming’s Ironic Online Slots Game

August 6th, 2010

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.

RTG Goes Fruity with Online Slots Game

August 5th, 2010

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

New Online Slots: Aussie Rules

July 28th, 2010

Rival is at it again.

Taking Australia and their love a sport they call ‘Footy’ and rolling them into one has produced a new online slots game at one of the online gambling industry’s software developers.

The name of the game is Aussie Rules, and it is a five reel online slots game with fifteen paylines. Players can wager with coins worth $0.01 up to $1, and they can wager from one to five coins per paylines. This makes the minimum wager $0.15 ($0.01 and one coin) and the maximum wager $75 ($1 and five coins).

This time Rival has delivered light and fun graphics to the reels with Whistles, Shoes Players and Jerseys. The Jersey is the jackpot symbol. Landing five of them will payout 500 coins.

Not to be left on the bench are the special play symbols.

The Ref is the Wild symbol, substituting for all symbols other than the Scatters. And while the Jersey might offer the highest payout from the regular symbols, landing five Refs will award 5,000 coins.

Thirsty? Thirsty for winning combinations? The Water Bottle is your ticket to free spins with a 3x multiplier. Landing three awards ten free spins, four gives twenty and five starts one hundred free spins a-spinning.

Finally there is the Football itself. Not only does it function as a Scatter symbol, but landing three, four or five of them will take you right onto the field with the players. The more goals you can score, the larger your bonus game prize is.

All in all, Rival did not do too bad with this new online slots game. While this is no iSlots—the online slots game type that Rival is known for—it is not too shabby at all and definitely worth a try. Trying is good sportsmanship, right?

New Online Slots: Witches and Wizards

July 28th, 2010

This week saw the launch of a new online slots game at the online casino Bodog: Witches and Wizards.


Before anyone jumps to any conclusions there is no Hogwarts or Harry Potter or any kids for that matter in this new online slots game. This five reel, twenty five payline online slots game features a grown Witch and Wizard along with other magical symbols such as Spell Books and Bones.


And do not forget the traditional 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, although they are dressed up in full gothic glory for this online slots game.


Witches and Wizards offers players a Scatter and a Wild to increase their chances of winning.


The Staff is the Scatter; and the Cauldron is the Wild, substituting for all symbols except for the Staff and doubling any wins that the Cauldron helps to complete.


But the biggest magical attraction is the Magical Experiment bonus game, which is actually made up of free spins. Ten free spins are awarded when three or more Staves are landed. The thing that makes the free spins of this online slots game different from other free spins and transforms it into a bonus game is the magic spells that can be cast.


There are four magic spells, one of which can be cast on each free spin:


Wild Explosion: With this spell, a random symbol is chosen and becomes a Wild. In fact all of that symbol that shows up on the reels will become Wilds.


Wild Growth: This spell will cause any Wilds that are landed to turn into Expanded Wilds with a multiplier of 2x for any combination they complete.


Metamopha-Wild: Cast this spell and watch up to fifteen random symbols be turned into Wilds.


Win Multiplication: With the power of this spell all wins of the free spin it is cast on will be multiplied between 2 and 10.


This promises to be an exciting addition to the Bodog lineup. Or a magical one I should say.


New Online Slots Game: All Aboard

July 26th, 2010

Do you like trains?

If you like trains then the latest online slots game to roll out of Rival will be to your liking. The new online slots game bears the name All Aboard, and, yes, it is themed with trains. Very much themed with trains.

All Aboard is an online slots game with the standard five reels and twenty paylines. The wager range runs from $0.01 per payline up to $0.25, making this an online slots game that just about anyone can play.

To flesh out the train theme the reels are filled with Crossing Lights, Whistles, Steam Engines, Water Towers, Bells, Lanterns, See-Saw Cars, Cabooses, Nails and a Conductor. And do not forget the infamous Casey Jones. Although the symbol in the game does not match the childhood Halloween ghost story about Casey Jones—the symbol shows him alive and well.

So bonus features!

The new online slots game does offer plays three types of bonus features: an Expanding Wild, free spins and a bonus game.

The Steam Engine is the Expanding Wild, which only appears on reels one and two. If landed it will expand to cover the entire reel and will double the winnings of any combination is completes.

Landing at least three of that darling Casey Jones will award ten free spins with a 2x multiplier. Four Casey Joneses will award twenty free spins with a 3x multiplier; and five Casey Joneses are worth forty free spins with a 4x multiplier.

Landing three of the Bell will cause the bell to sound and the bonus game to begin.

In the bonus game of this new online slots game players watch nine boxcars barrel onto the screen—such reckless train driving might be the reason why Casey Jones was in a Halloween cartoon to begin with. Eight of those boxcars have prizes and one has nothing. Players then pick boxcars. They can win the prizes in all eight so long as they do not pick the empty one. As soon as the empty box car is chosen the bonus game ends.

Fans of trains will enjoy this new online slots game from Rival. Roll over to a Rival online casino to take it for a ride.
