Yesterday I began a discussion on what makes for a good bonus game in an online slots game. The first aspect of bonus games that I discussed was how triggerable a bonus game is.
Today we are going to look at the types of bonus games that are out there in online slots games.
The first one up is the interactive ones that are usually found in iSlots. These bonus games require more on the part of the slots play. It is not as simple as pick a prize. In a bonus game of an iSlots you have to play to win, and you might not always win.
One of my favorite iSlots bonus games I found in the Heavyweight Gold online slots game from Rival. There are three bonus games that you can trigger, each one has a different boxing opponent for you to go up against. In each one of these games you have to hit the buttons to make your character punch your opponent and to block when he hits you. If you beat him, you win. If he beats you, you lose and you lose a larger bonus amount.
Now let’s compare this to the pick a prize bonus game found in online slots games. In these bonus games you are taken to a bonus screen and presented with a number of things to choose from. Sometimes your choices only flip over to reveal your prize. Sometimes your choice has a bit of animation to go with it—maybe a skier skiing down the path you have chosen—before your bonus amount is awarded.
There are still some online slots games out there that are even more basic. If three symbols are required to trigger the bonus game, they will flash right there on the reels and you pick one for your bonus amount. You do not leave the main playing screen in these bonus games.
For entertainment’s sake, iSlots have taken the lead in bonus games. Although the animation that accompanies the second screen bonus games can be quite elaborate, which balances out the simplicity of the pick a prize bonus game.
Ultimately I have to say that iSlots really do seem to be the future for online slots games. They have given their slots game stories and incredible bonus games to play. You do not only look forward to winning the bonus amount, you look forward to actually playing the game.
