Slots Reviews Weekly
for Offline Casinos: July
Slots Reviews Weekly reports newer slot versions for you to
explore on your next casino adventure. Each week, Gambling Teachers
will publish
4 slot versions. These weekly reports are archived by month.
For each
version, Slots
Reviews Weekly presents the slot name, description, theme
and
bonus features/event including scatter pays.
Report for July 22/08
1) Tiki Tango:
The Tiki Girl
symbol is wild with this Polynesian themed slot. Three or more Flaming
Bowl symbols found on the first, third and fifth reel starts the 10
free spin round.
Get 10 more freebie spins, up to a maximum of 100 free games, if the Flaming Bowl symbol lines up again as above.
An
additional feature is a random progressive jackpot win for Mystery
Magic that can be hit at any time during play. Now that’s a win worthy
of a ‘dance around the slot’.
2) Golden Trophy:
Combine
a second screen bonus and free spin round and you are in for excitement
with this racing themed game. The Race Day Bonus starts with 3 or more
Golden Trophy symbols and then moves to a video screen displaying four
horses.
Once your selection is made, the race is on and at the same
time, a second screen free spin round is ongoing. Each horse symbol
awards credits from the free spin round until the race is complete.
Your bonus credits are totaled to include the horse you chose.
And, it’s off to the races…
3) African Diamond:
To
begin, the diamond symbol is wild on all but the first reel and scatter
pay is an image of the African continent where 3 or more activate the
free spin round and payouts are doubled.
Thus 3 images=10 spins, 4=15 freebies and 25 spins for 5 scatter pay images.
The
betting for this slot varies from 5 to 50 credits/line, therefore the
30-line version requires a max bet of 1500 credits/spin. As your
credits mount, this slot can ‘sparkle’.
4) Diamond Quest:
The
main bonus round occurs when 3 or more scatter pay diamonds appear and
the player is taken to a scene of 14 treasure chests.
Your choice
will determine the number of free spins from 10 to 1000. At that time,
all jackpots are doubled and should a diamond appear during the free
spins, the treasure chests option is again activated for additional
freebie spins. While you are spinning away, enjoy the rich graphics
that include a princess, mystical forest, unicorns and the most amusing
talking tree.
Report for July 15/08
1) Crimson Fire:
Fifty
paylines is becoming the norm in the slot playground, however, this
game offers the betting choices of a max bet of 500 or maxing the bet
to 1000.
The 10 free spins round is triggered by 3 chest symbols displayed on the three reels, while two results in a scatter pay reward.
During
the initial free spin round, which can be re-spun 5 more times with an
additional 3 chest symbols, the wild moon symbols are displayed on 2,
3, 4 and 5 reels to increase your bonus credits.
A suggested strategy is to activate all 50 paylines, then ‘turn up the heat’ after a good payday to either 500 or 1000 coin bet.
2) Good Fortune:
This Chinese-themed 50-line slot has colorful lucky symbols.
With
the penny version, you are triggering 2 lines for each coin and the
coin symbol is wild. Additionally, when the red packet symbols appear
scattered on the first three paylines, the free spin round is
activated. At that time, five symbols—a phoenix, lion, fish, turtle and
butterfly—change to gold. Thus, one wild symbol in the first free spin
increases to five by the last spin.
The free round can be respun with the right combination.
May Good Fortune come your way during this slot adventure.
3) The Game of Life:
This
popular slot offers 3 symbols that will move you toward the five
progressive jackpot levels. They are Life Tiles, a payday tile or a
stop sign. These symbols allow the player to move around the LIFE game
board displayed on the video screen.
A random letter bonus round is the common denominator for all Life games where the player selects from the letters L-I-F-E.
At that time, your credit reward is revealed and you move upward to the Game of Life Bonus.
With frequent payouts, you put excitement into The Game of Life.
4) The House of the Dead:
Even though this slot is a basic 3 reeler, the combinations of matching and wild symbols translates into multiplying rewards.
The basic combination is to match the spooky characters on all 3 reels from left to right and then build from there.
Even
though the hit frequency at about every 4 spins may leave you waiting
for a prize, this game can increase your credits while awaiting the top
jackpot of 250,000 coins. Doesn’t make it so ‘scary’, right?
Report for July 8/08
1) Mystic Lamp:
Players can look for
bonus features on the primary reels and top box for this ‘mystical’
game. The scatter pay lamp symbols payout for 3 lamps at 2X or a nice
payday of 200X for 9 lamps. Additionally, the Bonus Lamp on the third
reel qualifies you for one of 3 bonus rounds.
Treasure Chest Bonus: your pick of 3 treasure chests will garner a reward or the top prize of the Sultan’s Treasure.
Spinning Scimitar Bonus: spin the scimitar (Asian sword) for one of 7 pays from 50 to 100X the original bet.
Harem Bonus: select one of 3 harem girls for a 9 to 170X payout.
With the wealth of possible rewards, it is no mystery why the Mystic Lamp should be on your ‘to play’ list.
2) Brazilian Beauty:
There’s a la-la-latin theme going on here accompanied by maracas, conga drums and multiplying wild symbols.
The
bonus round has two parts, a free spin and re-spin. When three or four
Sun God symbols are scattered on the reels, the Sun Gods are held while
the remaining reels re-spin. Afterwards, the total of Sun God symbols
determines the number of free spins. Therefore, 3, 4 or 5 Sun Gods
allow 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.
Should one or more
Brazilian Beauty symbol appear, bonus credits are awarded while 20 of
these ‘Beauty’ symbols collected will grant the player 30X the original
bet.
As with most bonus rounds with these two ‘spin’ features,
additional free spins are often won while you are in the ‘spin’ moment.
3) Grizzly:
You are on a fishing trip with a twist—using a grizzly bear character to obtain mounting credits.
Set
in the wilderness with the usual outstanding graphics and audio that is
an Aristocrat standard, you search for three bear paw icons to move to
the bonus round.
At that time, you move the bear to capture fish
moving upstream. Your final bonus reward is based on color and number
of fish captured.
There’s more…12 free games at which time, re-triggering can occur for added free games.
Making a ‘great catch’ can result in a 50X generous award.
4) Lady Orleans:
There
are four versions of this slot and for this review, we focus on
Michelle who holds the key to the top jackpot and is the reigning wild
symbol doubling all jackpots.
Five ‘Michelles’ translates into the ‘big strike’ for 260,000 credits at the 21 line version.
The
mask symbol, when gathered in threes, starts a 15 free game event where
all jackpots are tripled. As usual, these days, re-spins can occur with
this free game event.
Also, this slot offers a Mystery Jackpot progressive that hits at random for as much as a whopping $1million.
The Sinatra tune comes to mind: “Luck Be a Lady Tonight”.
Report for July 1/08
1) DaVinci Diamonds:
As expected,
Mona Lisa appears along with the ‘dazzling’ DaVinci Diamonds. Gather 3
or more of these dazzlers and you have set off a free spin bonus round.
This
game incorporates two features, Tumbling Reels and Cashfall Feature.
With a winning combination on the grid, the triggering reel symbols
vanish and new symbols drop down from the top of the screen until all
the empty space is filled.
If another paying combination occurs, you again see the tumbling reels continuing until no combos remain.
The Cashfall feature is triggered during the free spin round resulting in bonus credits. This slot is now available to play online
2) Double Dragon Deluxe:
This game doubles the features with a free spin mode and second screen bonus.
When
the fire Dragon, Yin Yang and Water Dragon symbols appear on reels 2, 3
and 4 within one position of the center payline, the Double Dragon
Bonus Game is activated.
You then select a Fire Dragon or Water
Dragon and are rewarded with three free spins. When your dragon is
displayed on or within one position of the payline, the credits
increase.
A Yin Yang symbol on a free spin awards the total
bet to each side, but if your selection has more corresponding spins,
you win 40 X your bet. If both dragons are equal, the reward is 10X the
total bet.
Fire and Water don’t usually mix, but this game is both hot and cool!
3) Mega Bankroll:
This
top box bonus game is designed utilizing the familiar 5-reel Double
Diamond feature that doubles the jackpot when wilds appear.
Listen
for the familiar song, ‘Money, That’s What I Want’ to begin the bonus
round where the Big Roller Press of the US Mint starts up printing
strips of bills at the top box.
Every dollar represents 4
credits along with multiplier units and when the bills stops, your
credit amount and multiplier is displayed.
Final calculation award=credits X multiplier X credits bet on the winning payline.
Money in the form of a ‘wad’ of bills is surely ‘what you want’ with this exciting game.
4) Gold Maker:
First, you have the scale to weigh all the gold collected.
Line up 3, 4 or 5 of these scatter pay scales and your reward is 12, 15, or 20 free games where all wins are doubled.
Add
the unique Gold Maker character as a wild symbol. When this ‘golden’
character appears on the free spin reel, all remaining reels spin again
for bonus credits.
Lastly, if three or more scale symbols land
during a free spin round, the spinning begins again upon the completion
of the first bonus round.
The Gold Maker may look like a mad scientist, but he’s welcome at my slot. And don’t forget to bring the gold.
