Paradise in a Slots Game

September 28th, 2010

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.

Mermaid’s Quest Online Slots Review

September 24th, 2010

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.

New 50s Themed Online Slots Game

September 22nd, 2010

We have seen what other online casino game developers have dished out this month in the way of new online slots games, and now it is time to see what Rival has for its partner online casinos.

For slots players who are fans of the iconography of the 1950s the new online slots game from Rival, called Doo Wop Daddy-O, is sure to become a favorite. There are Pink Poodles, Records, Jukeboxes and Classic Cars. Oh, and lots of neon sign letters.

It is like the malt shop exploded and turned into an online slots game. The graphics are colorful and have captured what everyone likes to remember about the 50s. True to Rival Gaming’s style, the graphics are well-done and the animation smooth.

The Motorcycle is the Scatter offering an easy payout for landing as little as two of them.

Naturally there is a Wild in Doo Wop Daddy-O, the letters of Wild spelled out in pink neon sign letters. It will substitute for any symbol in the game except for the two bonus symbols.

Yes, I said two bonus symbols. Instead of free spins, Rival put two bonus games into this new online slots game, and they each represent to iconographic things from the 50s: the soda fountain and racing.

The Soda Fountain bonus game is triggered by landing three or more Milkshakes. Players are then taken to a second screen where they are behind the counter of a soda fountain. They task is to make a dessert for a girl whose name is probably Judy.

Various pieces that make up ice cream sundaes will glow. Players have to click on the glowing pieces to build the probably-Judy’s dessert. The more pieces that make up her dessert, the bigger the bonus prize.

The other bonus game is the Drag Race bonus game and it is triggered by landing three or more of the Red Classic Truck. I hope you can drive stick.

On a second screen players will see a steering wheel and a gear shift knob along with a plus and minus symbol. Players have to click plus to shift up and minus to downshift when the arrow points to a new gear. When the game says ‘Honk’ click the steering wheel to give an extra boost to the bonus prize. Crossing the line first also gives an extra bonus prize.

Having two bonus games rather than one is what stands out in this new online slots game. Not to mention all the 50s iconography. Two bonus games will help add to players’ bankroll, which will most likely make this a popular new offering in Rival powered online casinos.

Tally Ho! To the Slots!

September 22nd, 2010

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.

Agent Cash Slots Game

September 21st, 2010

What do you get when you cross a British spy with an online slots game?

You get Vegas Technology’s latest online slots game Agent Cash.

This five reel, thirty payline online slots game is one of two new online slots to join the Vegas Technology line up. It features a theme with a British spy working to save the world. Very Bond, yes?

Vegas Technology is beginning to step up their bonus features with this new online slots game. Agent Cash feature no one, but two Wilds and one of those Wilds is an Expanding Wild.

The Brunette is featured on reels one and five. Players who land her on both at the same time will see her symbol expand into Wilds that cover both reels. It is not just one Expanding Wild, it is two.

The standard Wild is that Aston Martin. This Wild will payout 1,250 coins if five are landed. The Aston Martin will substitute for all symbols except for the Villain and the Blonde.

And speaking of that Blonde, she is the Scatter that, when landed on reels one, three and five, will trigger the bonus game. Of the three Blondes, the player will choose one symbol which will then reveal either free spins, bonus coins or will trigger the beginning of the Pick or Die bonus game.

The Pick or Die bonus game shows the player thirty face down cards. All have bonus prizes and one is the stopper card. Your mission is to flip as many cards as possible to rack up your bonus prize before flipping over the stopper card, which ends the bonus game.

As for the Villain, he is the jackpot symbol. Landing five of him will award a 10,000 coin jackpot. But players only need three of him to be awarded the minimum, which is 100 coins.

With the double Expanding Wild and multiple possibilities for the bonus game, Vegas Technology is definitely starting to step up the features in their new online slots games. Agent Cash is hopefully a sign of the slots games to come from Vegas Technology.

New Slots Game: Goblin’s Treasure

September 17th, 2010

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?

New Online Slots: Bitten

September 16th, 2010

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.

New Online Slots Loaded

September 14th, 2010

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.

Online Slots Review: Alice’s Wonderland

September 8th, 2010

It is not a brand new online slots game, but it will be brand new this month at Virgin Casino, owned by Virgin Games. The online slots game in question here is called Alice’s Wonderland.

And, no, it does not have a shred of Tim Burton in it at all. In fact, its graphics are a curious cross between the original illustrations in the Lewis Carroll books and the Disney characters from the 1951 animated movie.

But graphics aside, this online slots game comes from Ash Gaming, and features five reels and twenty paylines.

This being Wonderland we are talking about, naturally the fun of this online slots game does not end there.

Alice’s Wonderland offers up an incredible bonus game and progressive jackpot all rolled into one. Only in Wonderland, right?

The Tea Party bonus game and progressive jackpot is triggered by landing three or more of the Mad Hatter scatter symbols. Players then choose one of the four guests: the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Dormouse or Alice.

At that point the tea party begins. The more your chosen character drinks the larger your bonus winnings are. When a player’s first guest is done drinking their tea, the player can choose another character to drink. This repeats until all four tea party guests have drunk their full.

As for that tea party progressive jackpot, if a player sees one of the characters reach towards the sugar bowl to put sugar in their tea, it means that the progressive jackpot has been won. The winnings will then be added in at the end of the bonus game.

But there is another bonus game: The Rabbit Hole bonus game. The Rabbit Hole symbol only appears in the middle reel, and if it appears players then take a trip down the rabbit hole with Alice, collecting bonus winnings as they fall. At the bottom of the hole, the winnings are totaled and added to the player’s bankroll.

Then there are the White Rabbit free spins. Land at least three White Rabbits anywhere and the White Rabbit pops up with his pocket watch. Wherever he stops the hand on his watch is the number of free spins the player wins. He then hops across the reels randomly changing symbols into Wilds that remain fixed throughout the free spins.

Player’s will be glad to know that an enhanced set of reels is used in these free spins which should create more winning combinations than normal. However the bonus symbols disappear down the rabbit hole and the bonus games cannot be triggered during these free spins.

Ash Gaming as certainly put together quite the online slots game, full of bonus features and chances to win. Players at the Virgin Casino are sure to be pleased once they get their hands on this online slots game.

New Online Slots Game…Sort of

September 7th, 2010

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.
