Video slot addiction
January 21st, 2010
Slot machines have come a long way. There was a time when they were only 3 reels, a few symbols, a lever and a dull bell that would signal the coming of a jackpot. Today, especially through the internet, slots have developed to new levels of excitement. The video slot which shyly stepped into brick and mortar casinos a couple of decades ago has been completely revolutionized in the online world.
The video slot is an enhanced game with a total of 5 reels. Within the reels there are a number of icons and in order to get a win the player must get at least 3 identical icons in a row, from first reel onwards. These games can become very addictive because they have many other features that keep the player literally tied to the seat. Video slot may present also the Wild Symbol, which in Video Poker would be similar to the Joker card. The Wild Symbol can be replaced for any other symbol to help the player complete the highest possible win. Some recent video slots even have an expanding Wild Symbol, so the entire reel itself becomes Wild. This particular feature helps player create exciting wins with more frequency.
Video slots then have sets of Free Spins. These are one of the features player adore. By getting three so-called Scatter Icon (non-repetitive icon per reel), the player triggers sets of free spins. The player simply sits back and watches the game play by itself without having to risk a single dime. Often the Free Spins have a multiplier so the normal pay-table is multiplied by a certain number.
Finally, what makes Video Slots so tempting is the bonus round. These integrated mini-games reward the player with extra coins depending on the performance of the player. These can be very imaginative and can take the player to the deepest ocean or the farthest region of outer space.
Video Slots are addictive since they have many features normal online slots don’t offer.
Video Slots that will frighten you this Halloween!
October 15th, 2009
As Halloween comes nearer we are looking for those video slots that will commemorate best this season of the year. We believe we’ve found two perfect candidates for this job. The two video slots featured today are closely related, in fact one is a sequel to the first. This Halloween we invite our readers to play: Scary Rich and Scary Rich Part Two.
Scary Rich is the original of the two. It has the whole array of characters children love to dress up as. The reels are fraught with horror movie fictional characters as Frankenstein, Werewolf, mummies, zombies, the headless rider and many more. The effects of this slot are quite something else. It has an eerie but charming sound when the reels are turning. The special features of this game are the Free Spins that Frankenstein triggers and the count Dracula icon. This latter on is a wild icon and will become an expanding wild during the free spins. This an optimal candidate for players looking for a Halloween video slot, especially with Bach’s Fugue in D minor setting the mood every few spins.
The sequel to Scary Rich is much more frightening. The characters lose their innocent caricature aspect and become much livelier. New freaky characters emerge and the core darkness of Halloween is truly experienced. Player will truly enjoy this one because besides having somewhat grotesque animations the game pays out very well. Again this video slot features Free Spins, 13 this time, with a wild icon. During the free spins players can easily multiply their bet by over 1,000 times.
The Scary Rich duo is certainly the two video slots player must look for this upcoming 2009 Halloween. Besides all the scares, you’re likely to scream out of joy when you hit a good jackpot here.
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.
