World Poker Tour Slots
World Poker Tour Slot Machine Games
World Poker Tour Video Slots was released by
International Game Technology this week. This new slot
machine is part of the World Poker Tour television franchise.
It's only natural to have a slot machine about one of the most
famous brand names in professional poker.
World Poker Tour Slot Machines
The
original World Poker Tour slot machine was a 5-reel, 20-payline
Advanced Video Platform machine. World Poker Tour slots came in
penny and two-penny versions. The top bet was 300 credits, while
the top award varied from one state to the next. Typically, the
number of credits won were 10,000 on the jackpot.
A newer version is being placed in casinos these days. This is a similar 5-reel and 20-payline machine, though its max bet is 450 coins. All the new World Poker Tour Video Slots machines are penny slots.
The 450-coin bet can be raised with a special 10 coin side bet. The side bet uses the buy-a-pay bonus option.
World Poker Tour Mega Jackpots
The World Poker Tour slots game is a MegaJackpots wide-area progressive. The progressive jackpot resets at $500,000, so hitting the jackpot on WPT Video Slots is a huge win.
The World Poker Tour All-In Bonus Game
Every time the bonus-enabled reels spin on WPT slots, an extra seven-card hand is shown at the bottom of the screen. When a qualifying five-card hand is made using these 7 cards, the bonus game is triggered.
The All-In bonus game gives the player extra free spins. This allows you to "double up" on your money, until you lose or until the bonus game ends.
The World Poker Tour
The World Poker Tour started in late 2002. The television show follows the professional poker circuit to tournaments around the globe. Most of the big name professional poker players participate in WPT events. Of course, anyone willing to pay the entry fee can enter WPT tournaments, too.
WPT was hosted by Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten and Shana Hiatt. It has gone through several personnel changes, including hostesses like Courtney Friel, Sabina Gadecki and Layla Kayleigh.
World Poker Tour spent its first several years on the Travel Channel, though WPT has also been broadcast on NBC (for a Superbowl special) and GSN.
