Slots Hero

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.

What do slots machines promise?

Casinos would like you to believe that these darling machines promise you riches fast. They want you to think that with one more spin of the reels your dreams of the easy life will be fulfilled. Just one more spin. And another. Okay, one more. And one more.

You get the idea.

Slot machines and slots games present just such an image—that the good life is almost within your grasp. And that it is easy to take a nickel and make thousands or millions.

And it is that image that casinos bank on. Literally.

Casinos will build up the idea that slots are the ticket to getting rich quick. Players who have this in mind are the most susceptible to planting themselves in front of a slot machine for hours at a time. They play with that ‘one more spin, one more spin’ dream in the front of their minds.

But what we all need to remember is that slots are just a form of entertainment. Every single slots game is a game of chance. There is no strategy that any of us can apply to these games to win.

But casinos are more than willing to allow us to think that there is something out there to encourage us to keep playing. Since more and more slots players are understanding that there is no strategy to slots, no matter how badly we would like one, they build up the get rich quick idea.

Slots players, for the sake of their bank accounts, need to banish the get rich quick gleam from their thoughts of slots games.

Slots are only forms of entertainment. They are not an easy means to getting rich. As long as we keep slots as a form of entertainment in our minds, the casinos are powerless to planting and keeping us in front of the banks of machines, pouring out all of our money.

Think of slots as a cheap way to have fun—you can play for hours on pennies and nickels—but leave it at that. Doing so will keep your money in your pocket and not the casinos’ pockets.

Vegas Technology takes slots players to the African savannah in their online slots game Safari Hunt.

No animals are harmed in this slots game.

Full of bright colors and lively animals, this is a slots game that is worth taking for a spin. This is a five reel bonus slots game with twenty paylines. There is plenty of action to be seen in the animation when winning combinations are formed a ferocious Jaguar to a Giraffe that will make a funny face at you, winning combinations provide a good sense of enjoyment.

Like any good five reel there is a bonus round to be had in this online slots game. It is triggered by landing at least three of the bonus Camera and Binoculars symbol.

In the Safari Hunt bonus game you are invited to choose two hiding spots. Each hiding spot will reveal one of the animals found on a safari. A random amount of money is given with each animal. The total of the two animals is your bonus amount.

But the question remains of whether the bonus amount is really a bonus. When I triggered the bonus round on a spin betting $.01 per line ($0.20 per spin), I only won $0.20.

Also to be on the hunt for is the Ranger. No, there is not actual hunting of humans in Safari Hunt. It is just that he is the Scatter symbol and the he is the key to the free spins. Finding at least three Rangers will trigger fifteen free spins with doubled winnings. These free spins can also be re-triggered.

And finally the Jeep is the Wild symbol, substituting for all symbols other than the Camera and Binoculars and the Ranger. But the jackpot can also come from five Jeeps which will earn the winner 10,000 coins.

A downside to this online slots game is that the buttons blend in with the background. But this can be attributed to the design looking like a bunch of rocks stacked on top of one another. They are visible but do not stand out like they do in other games. Just be mindful when you are clicking buttons down there.

Other than a questionable bonus round this is an enjoyable online slots game to play. It can be spotted at any Vegas Technology powered online casino, and is worth a few spins—if for nothing more than seeing what the animals do.
