Gobblers Gold Video Slot Mania
January 15th, 2010
Gobblers Gold is a great free video slot that revolves around the theme of Thanksgiving.
This cute video slot is a 5 reel and 20 payline game that is easy enough for new players and exciting still for more experienced slot gamers with one wild symbol, 2 scatter symbols and 1 bonus round game.
The game first starts with a fun video animation that shows a pilgrim family preparing for their Thanksgiving festivities. The symbols in the game are great and full of animated extras. Lately, I’ve started to notice how software designers have really gone the extra mile with these special little graphic animations that keep the player entertained. Free video slots are sometimes regarded as not being the most amusing but this has surely changed over time. For example, in Gobblers Gold every time you land three Hay Stack symbols a boy and a girl animation will appear out of the stack. Also, when the Fruit Basket symbols appear and you’re a winner, the apples in the basket will turn to gold. Personally, I like these little touches of graphic effects that give the slot a cool personality .
Some of the other symbols in the game include the pilgrim man, the Mayflower ship, a few pumpkin pies, pumpkin corns, a plate with a cake and a fork, a vegetable basket a fruit basket and of course the wild turkey.The Wild Turkey symbol works as the wild, but this time this wild symbol does not expand. However, I did not find difficult at all for 4 Wild Turkey icons to appear and pay me 1000 coins. I was not lucky enough to hit the 5 turkey symbols that would have paid a nice 7500 coin prize. It’s important to keep in mind that this wild symbol does substitute for any other symbol except the scatter symbols.

December 4th, 2009
Rival Gaming is famous not only for producing some of the best free video slots in the market like Pigskin Payout, Moonlight Mystery, Metal Detector and Scary Rich but also for their innovations and new gaming ideas like the fabulous interactive slots. These types of games differ from video slots in that they really allow players to participate in the sequence of events and the outcome of the player’s decisions.
One of Rival’s latest interactive slots is called A Switch in Time. This game offers 5 reels and 20 paylines to create winning patterns. The coin sizes varies from $0.01, $0.05, $0.10 and a maximum betting amount of $20. The maximum amount a player can cash in is of 6789 coins. There are unique features in the game that will let the player add more winnings. For example, the wild symbol has a 2X multiplier during normal play and 3X during free spins. The symbol will work as a regular wild icon during normal play but will become an expanding wild during free spins. Free spins are great to get quick winnings. Players must land 3 scatters for 12 free spins with 3 x multipliers, 4 scatters for 45 free spins with 6x multipliers and 5 scatters for 78 free spins with 9x
multipliers.
A Switch in Time also has a Bonus Round that is triggered when a players lands 3 or more time machine icons. When entering this bonus round the player must take the control of the time machine and press a series of buttons. Certain button combinations determine whether you visit the past of the future. A cool animation takes the player on a trip on the time machine and the when you’re taken to the game again a new casing has appeared with a whole new set of symbols and graphics.
Wild Symbols in Video Slots Machines
October 23rd, 2009
Remember when you were growing up and you used to play with a real deck of cards? Oh those were the days! Remember that funny card called “The Joker”? Well very much like with a deck of cards, slot machine games have what they call a “Wild Symbol”. “Wild Symbols” and Joker cards have the same function which is to replace any symbol to make up a winning combination. In the case of slot games, the “Wild Symbol” will replace any other symbol on the reels to create a winning pattern.
When playing free video slots the “Wild Symbol” serves as an element of surprise to the slot machine game adding extra suspense as to what will happen when the next “Wild Symbol” makes an appearance. Often times new graphics and sounds pop up with every new combination of the wild.
“Wild Symbols” also have a feature called “Expanding Wild Symbols”. This means that the “Wild Symbol” will fill an entire reel of the slot and cover the reel as one big single symbol. Also, in many online video slots games, the wild symbol works as a multiplier. This means that if a wild symbol is used to complete a winning combination, the payout for that combination is doubled, tripled, or even quintupled and when this is combined with the Free Spins feature your winnings could skyrocket in no time. For example, in the Rival Powered game “Spy Game” if a player gets an expanding wild during the Free Spins, any win could be multiplied by up to 12 times. Needless to say, multipliers with wild symbol is a feature that is extremely popular with slot machine games.
Next time you’re scouting around for the best new game or simply a new slot experience make sure that the wild symbols are present. With wild symbols you have a guaranteed higher winning chance and you’ll be likely to hit that fun bonus round in no time.
Jacques Pot: a delicious online video slot!
August 14th, 2009
Hilarious and now modern-classic Jacques Pot Gourmet Slot is one of the favorite video slots of the moment. The music is upbeat and the graphics are quite appealing. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, the game has much more below the surface. Players should pay attention to special icons that can quickly multiply their balances. Let’s have a closer look at this popular video slot.
This gourmet slot features 5-reels allowing up to 10 coins per spin. There are 20 betting lines so players can get more chances of hitting a winning combination. The theme of the game is the kitchen of a jolly chef named Jacques. The reels all have items that you would find in such a kitchen. The most prominent icons are the Salt and Pepper shakers since these are expanding wilds. What this means is that these icons can multiply normal wins by up to 3 times. The next important icon is the Beater that can trigger Free Spins if at least 3 are hit in one spin. During the free spins all the paytable is doubled so the ‘2x’ display will be shown. During the free spins players still have another chance to win more coins. This is when three Jacques icons appear during any one of the free spins. Note however that this icon is exclusive for the free spins and doesn’t appear during normal spins.
During the bonus round the player enter a mini-game to win coins. The aim of the game is to catch falling ingredients onto a hamburger patty. The tastier the hamburger (according to Jacques’ taste) the more coins you will receive at the end of the bonus round. This bonus round is quite generous and while I was playing I hit a 40,000 coin jackpot, had I been playing in high denomination would’ve been a lot of money.
Jacques Pot certainly is a video slot for the ages. Try at any Rival-powered online casino and hit those deliciously juicy jackpots.
A blast from the past: Atomic Age Video Slot
July 2nd, 2009
This week we want to feature Atomic Age, a 5-reel, 15 pay-line video slot that takes you back to times when a milkshake at the local café and a drive-in movie was an idea of a good time. Start combining old record players, soda-pop bottles, convertible Cadillac’s, black-n-white TV sets, rocket ships and atoms to win jackpots up to 7,500 coins.
Then line up 3 scatter icons or more in a spin and trigger any of the 2 bonus rounds. Yes, when you get 3 Cash Registers in one spin the 1st bonus round begins. Enter a convenience store with one-buck-fifty in your pocket. You will find an assortment of items to be purchased. Select four items that you think will add up closest to $1.50. The closer you are to that amount the higher the bonus round jackpot will be in the end. This bonus round can easily deliver 5,000 coins or more at the end of the game.
The second bonus round is much as fun. When you get three convertibles in one spin, you will go on a drive-in movie date. Picture the perfect date by selecting what character you will be (male or female), then by choosing his or her perfect companion out of 3 choices. Then select the movie flick you want to watch together. If by the end of the movie sparks are flying in the air, you will receive a huge jackpot prize.
This fun video slot is available in most Rival-powered online casinos. Rival-gaming has become a leader in producing innovative and original casino games. They currently offer over 20 of the internet’s favorite video slots, plus a wide collection of 3-reel slots, I-slots and progressive slot machines.
