Which video slot could take on all the rest and be glorified with the title of champion? The answer is Pigskin Payout, a 5-reel, 20-pay-line tour de force.
What is so special about this video slot is that it has the sound-effects of a real live American Football stadium, the graphics are sharp and clean, plus the jackpots are quite unbeatable. The theme of this video slot is the environment lived at live football matches. From the cheers of the crowd, to the whistle of the referee, from the munching of cheese nachos to the … belches from beer-drinking fans? Yes, this video slot has it all and keeps bringing more players to it as it becomes more widely known.
Pigskin Payout appeared in December 2008 and has slowly gained the reputation of one of internet’s favorite online video slot machines. Thanks to its generous payout schemes, this game allows players to gamble for longer periods without realizing that all their coins are running out. The special features of this game include the cheerleader icon that is considered wild and will multiply in normal spins any win by 2 times. Then, when the player gets at least 3 stadium icons in one spin the real fun begins. The first and the fifth reel are turned completely wild with the cheerleader icon. The player receives up to 25 Free Spins, all combinations multiplied by 3 thanks to the cheerleaders, plus every single spin will deliver a jackpot, guaranteed! With the “Can’t Lose Free Spins” the player quickly recovers from any losses and turns them into profit.
The champion of online video slots is finally here. Luckily this slot game is available for free playing at several Rival online casinos. This is a great game to be played both for fun money or real money. Of course, the real thrill is there when you are playing with real bucks and you suddenly hit a couple grand in winnings!
Basic video slot characteristics
July 16th, 2009
Some players may be wondering what is the different between the different slots that are out there. If you landed on this site, you probably are looking for the video slot type. First of all, we will name the different varieties of slot machines available. There are 3-reel family, bonus or video slots, progressive slots and I-slots. These are the four most popular branches of slot machines. The main distinguishing characteristic for each slot is the number of its reels. The 3-reel slots are clear enough. The video or bonus slots are one of the most popular, these have 5 reels. Now the progressives are interesting since they are more of a hybrid. They can be 3-reeled or 5-reeled, yet what sets them apart is the accumulative progressive jackpot that grows after each bet. Finally, the I-slots have 5-reels but they also have evolving stories and interactive mini-games that distinguish them from the rest.
To identify a good video slot machine you simply have to view the paytable of the game. There you will find icons that have special values. They don’t only give a normal jackpot but also contribute to special features of the game. These may include multipliers, wild icons, scatter icons and such. These icons can trigger special features such as Free Spin Rounds, Expanding Wilds that multiply your current win by a certain number and the famous bonus round. The bonus round is one of the best known features of the video slot. During the bonus round, the player gets to solve puzzles or play mini-games. At the end of the bonus round the player receives a jackpot of coins according to his or her performance.
Video slots have special features that the 3-reel and progressive slots don’t have. They provide multiple betting lines, multiple coin bets per spin and 5 animated reels. They are a leading choice for slot lovers that can’t get enough of playing slots online.
