I know that retailers put out their holiday stuff earlier and earlier, and sometimes the same happens with online slots developers. But come on, Real Time! Halloween in February?

It would seem so. Real Time Gaming has launched one of their new online slots games and it definitely would fit right in with all of the Halloween online slots games.

Not that I dislike Halloween—it is actually my favorite holiday, but it is six months away at this point.

Timing aside, Count Spectacular is not too bad of an online slots game. It offers players the standard five reels with twenty five paylines, and a range of denominations that will accommodate those who play for low stakes and those who are slots high rollers.

There are, of course, two symbols to watch out for.

One is Count Spectacular, who is the Wild. But he is a Stacked Wild and will rise from his coffin to help complete combinations. But he is only found on reels one and five.

The other symbol in the Count Spectacular slots game is the Castle. The Castle is the Scatter that will trigger a bonus game. But the fun thing about the bonus game in this slots game is that the player gets to choose which bonus game they want.

Players can choose to have twelve free spins. If Count Spectacular lands on both reels one and five, twelve more free spins are added, and there is no maximum number of free spins per trigger.

For players who do not want the free spins, there is the re-spin feature.

In the re-spin feature Count Spectacular is fixed on both reels one and five, while reels two, three and four are spun again. Those three reels will only be re-spun four times and there is no retriggering the re-spins—four is all a player gets in one go.

While the timing of this Halloween online slots game is a bit off, Count Spectacular is a welcome addition to the Real Time Gaming lineup.

Okay, no, slots really are not a mystery. Maybe only Real Time Gaming’s newest online slots game, out this month, is a mystery. Its title certainly suggests so: It’s a Mystery.

It’s a Mystery is a five reel with twenty five paylines for players to play on. There is a Sherlock looking Detective on the reels along with some figures that will bring to mind the Clue characters Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet, although players will find that it was not either one of them in the drawing room—it was the Butler with his candlestick and bloody handkerchief.

Naturally there is a Wild on the reels—the Question Mark. It will substitute for every symbol other than the Scatter—which is the Logo. On top of the substitution properties, the Question Mark can payout nicely if you are able to land 5 of them on a payline: 7,500 coins in regular play and up to 45,000 coins on a free spin.

As for that Scatter symbol, the Logo, it is the key to the entire mystery that is the bonus game. Landing three or more will trigger the Portrait Puzzle bonus game.

In the Portrait Puzzle players will find themselves on a second screen where they will be presented with two scrambled portraits. The first portrait will then shuffle itself three times. When pieces fall into their correct places free spins are awarded; any pieces that fall into place are locked into place for the subsequent shuffles. The more pieces that fall into place the more free spins are won.

The same process is repeated with the second portrait only it determines the multiplier on the free spins. If no puzzle pieces fall into place then the player is awarded 5 free spins with a 1x multiplier. But players can win up to 50 free spins and up to a multiplier of 6x.

But should those free spins not pay out there is Real Time Gaming’s Win-Win feature that has been included in this online slots game. It allows players to receive a bonus prize should the free spins not payout—which is rather nice of Real Time to include in their online slots games.

And I thought forty paylines was a lot!

Real Time Gaming’s November offering makes forty payline slots games look like nothing. The new online slots game bears the name Lucky Tiger and has eighty eight paylines spanning its five reels.

Thankfully wagers on this online slots game are not too bad. Real Time Gaming has given coin limits a $0.01 to $1 range, making each spin cost between $0.88 and $88.

Lucky Tiger is a part of RTG’s Real Series, meaning that is another RTG online slots game to have to random jackpots—a minor jackpot and a major jackpot. The minor jackpot starts at $100 and rises while the major jackpot will start at $1,000 and climb. Should a random jackpot be triggered, it will reset itself at its minimum of either $100 or $1,000 depending on which one was triggered.

The Wild symbol will only appear on reels one and five, but he is one versatile tiger. Yes, the Golden Tiger is the Wild and he will substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter.

Interesting little trick on that Golden Tiger—if you land five of him during a free spin he will payout 5,888 coins. Nice little tidbit there.

The Gong is the real symbol to watch in this slots game. There will be free spins but it all depends on how many Gongs you land:

Three Gongs will trigger the Pick a Feature. In the feature three gongs will appear on the screen and you have to pick one. One of three free spins features will be revealed by the gong you choose: Lucky Tiger, Gong Bonus or Fortune Bonus.

The Lucky Tiger awards you eight free spins. But the Scatter—the Gong—can award you more spins, up to a twenty five maximum.

In the Gong Bonus you will either receive right or eighteen free spins. But the Gong symbol will double as a Wild on top of giving Scatter payouts in the free spins. Between its Scatter payouts and helping to complete winning combinations, this is the symbol to watch in Gong Bonus.

In the Fortune Bonus you will be awarded eight free spins and each spin has a multiplier to match its spin number. Meaning that your first free spins will have a multiplier of 1x, your second spin will have a 2x multiplier all the way up to your eighth free spin with its 8x multiplier.

While there is no bonus game in Lucky Tiger, Real Time Gaming did an outstanding job with all of the free spin features in this new online slots game. Lucky Tiger can be found at an RTG powered online casino like Cherry Red. With all those free spin features it is sure not to disappoint.

And there is another online casino that is hosting a slots tournament in honor of Halloween.

This online slots tournament will run the entire month of October, through Halloween. Players can enter the Halloween Slots Tournament for only a $1, but this is a play for the pot tournament, so the more players that register the larger the prize pool is in the pot.

But Slotastic actually made a step forward in favor of its Halloween tournament: they added $1,000 to the prize pool for players to spin the reels for.

Casino manager Oliver Smith said:

“It feels great to win even $10 when all you have risked is a $1 entry fee. But it feels even better to win when we have topped up the prize pool like this!”

The $1 entry fee gives players an incredible $10,000 in tournament credits to play on the online slots game for this tournament. But players only have ten minutes to play with that $10,000 to earn as many points as they can.

Players that are not happy with their tournament score can reenter, receive another $10,000 in tournament credits and play again. And again. And again as many times as they would like.

Oh, and the online slots game for this Halloween slots tournament?

It is the Real Time Gaming creation Goldbeard online slots game. Not a bad choice actually. I know of a TV station that included the Pirates movies in their Halloween countdown line up.

Smith said the Pirates of the Caribbean was chosen because “Johnnie Depp and Pirates of the Caribbean have made pirates such a popular Halloween costume this year, arrrghhh, we thought Goldbeard would be appropriate, matey!”

Not a bad Halloween slots tournament—it has pirates, a $1 entry fee and a prize pool with an added $1,000. Not to mention an enthusiastic casino manager. Definitely not a bad job.

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?

I have to say that Rushmore runs their online slots tournaments a little bit differently than other online casinos. For one thing they do not list their online slots tournaments more than one day in advance. This means that a slots player needs to check in constantly for any online slots tournaments they might want to play at Rushmore.

Right now the furthest into the future Rushmore has online slots tournament listed is for tomorrow. Otherwise everything in their tournament lobby is for today. Hope you read this in plenty of time.

For the most part Rushmore runs only three types of online slots tournaments: Loose Caboose, Crystal Waters and Texan Tycoon. They have a rolling run each day, and each have its own level of prize pool based on the registration.

Loose Caboose would be the baby of these online slots tournaments. Players register for $1.10. The fee is broken down into two parts: $1 into the prize pool and $0.10 to Rushmore.

Crystal Waters ups that bar by requiring an entry fee of $5.50, with $5 going into the prize pool and $0.50 going to Rushmore.

Finally there is Texan Tycoon. This online slots tournament costs $11 to play in. The prize pool receives $10 and Rushmore gets the remaining $1.

All of Rushmore’s tournaments work the same way. Each tournament will be available to those who registered for 4 hours. Each player that has registered must log in during that 4 hour window. Once logged in the player has 10 minutes to play with their allotted 10,000 tournament credits.

At the end of the 4 hours, whichever play did the best in his or her 10 minutes is declared the winner and receives the largest chunk of the prize pool.

And each one of these rolling online slots tournaments at Rushmore is played out on the Real Time Gaming slots game whose name is featured in the tournament title.

A few months ago Rushmore partnered with a new company to run their new online slots tournaments. While I am glad that Rushmore is now offering online slots tournaments, I think that their format could use a little tweeting in that tournaments need to be announced more than a day out. Baby steps, baby steps my friends.

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 Real Time Gaming and Egyptian themed online casino, Slots Oasis, is breaking out a nice weekend slots bonus. And what online slots player worth her credits does not like a bonus? Extra credits mean extra to play with, and that means more opportunities to win.

Bonuses. Every online slots player looks for them. But the secret is not in just looking at an online casino’s Welcome Bonus—that might only work for your first handful of deposits. Smart online slots players want to find online casinos that will give them bonuses regularly.

Cherry Red would be one of these online casinos.

Cherry Red is powered by Real Time Gaming, who is known for their spectacular graphics in their online slots games. US players are welcomed at Cherry Red.

When an online slots player first signs up at Cherry Red, he is welcomed with a bonus worth $7,777. This is a matched deposit bonus that is spread out over a player’s—not fist couple of deposits—but spread over their first ten deposits.

But the slots bonuses do not end there.

Cherry Red offers players weekly bonuses for playing with them. Each player receives ten coupons worth $5,000 to use on their deposits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The ten weekly coupons can be used with all of the deposit methods: credit card, UseMyWallet, or eWalletXpress.

But that only covers the week, what about the weekends?

Cherry Red has slots bonuses for the weekends too. Deposits by online slots players receive a 150% match deposit bonus worth up to $750. There are five coupon codes for the weekend bonus for each deposit method.

And on a side note, online slots players who use UseMyWallet or eWalletXpress receive an extra 25% bonus. Just an FYI for you.

These are not spectacular, mind dazzling bonuses for online slots players, but they are consistent and constant. Online slots players at Cherry Red know that there is always a deposit bonus coming up, so there is no glum feeling when your welcome bonus runs out.

Keep in mind the regular bonuses for online slots players when you are out looking for an online casino.

Within the last couple of months, due to a disagreement between Real Time Gaming and 21 Gnet, Rushmore does not offer blackjack tournaments anymore.

Instead they are now offering online slots tournaments instead!

And to go along with all the new fun online slots excitement, Rushmore is offering a special online slots Welcome Bonus.

The good thing about being an online slots player is that we tend to enjoy and play through our bonuses faster than those who play other online casino games. This means that we get to see our bonus money faster, which anyone would enjoy.

Now at Rushmore new online slots players are eligible to receive $888 in their first two deposits.

When players make their first deposit, as soon as they have done so, they need to hop over to the cashier section of Rushmore’s site and turn in the coupon code: 400FREE. This will get them a 100% match deposit bonus worth up to $400.

When players are ready to make their second deposit to their playing accounts there is a second coupon code. As soon as the second deposit is posted another trip to the cashier section of Rushmore’s site will be in order.

This time the coupon code is 488FREE. That code will give a new online slots player another 100$ match deposit bonus, but this one is worth up to $488.

After that it is on to sign up for Rushmore’s VIP Rewards program, which gives online slots players even more bonuses! And players have the knowledge that they are playing through their bonuses faster than the other casino games players.
