Slots Reviews

Realm of Riches is a free spins slot game available at RTG casinos and not one I played originally. But one day, bored of Cleopatra’s Gold, I thought I’d give it a spin and it is now one of my favourite online slots. Read the rest of this entry »

Things move on, slots get better, old ones start to look old…you know the drill. So I thought I’d just do a quick run-down of my current “top slots”. If you don’t recognise any of these, and like me you appreciate the free spins bonus rounds, then do check these out.

1) Fortune Falls at 3Dice. A totally unique slot - at first I wasn’t sure, but now it’s my first stop when I have some funds available. Oh and the casino takes US players too by the way. This slot just keeps you going and when you get 4 or 5 scatters, which actually isn’t that uncommon (see the picture for proof!), you can get a very decent payday. Love it!

2) Cleopatra. That good old IGT favourite which I play at Virgin casino. You can’t beat Cleo Read the rest of this entry »

By now, most US slot players who are familiar with the IGT slot Cleopatra will know that a) it is available online and b) US players are blocked from playing it for real money. But not everyone will know that there is a copycat slot called “Cleopatra’s Gold” available at Club USA casino, Slots Oasis, iNetBet, Rushmore, Cherry Red and Bodog that, while not identical, is very similar.

Like IGT’s Cleopatra, Cleo’s Gold has 20 paylines and a bonus round which is triggered by 3 or more scatter symbols in view which awards 15 free spins all wins trebled. It also has Read the rest of this entry »

Now I’ve played a lot of slots, trust me. Everyone from Playtech, RTG and Wagerworks, through Microgaming, OddsOn (Vegas Tech), Cryptologic and Chartwell. And up until now Chartwell slots were by far and away the most appalling slots I ever played to the extent where I wouldn’t have a Chartwell casino anywhere near my PC.

But guess what? I just found a contender for their (un)coveted crown and unbelievably, these slots seem to be everywhere! Correction - “this slot” would be more appropriate because from what I can see Orbis basically produce one slot and give it some different graphics (which generally aren’t too bad at all). Which probably means it’s cheap to produce, thus cheap to licence, ah…which probably explains why so many online casinos have it. Hey ho. Anyway it’s true, you should never judge a book by it’s cover… Read the rest of this entry »

Microgaming’s popular but very high variance “Isis” slot has now been transformed into a Flash slot and added to the Flash casino offerings at Intertops, Lucky Nugget, River Belle, All Jackpots and, for UK and European players, the excellent 32Red.

It’s a little slower than the version in the download casino available at the places stated above, but it’s exactly the same game in all other respects. For those players who aren’t familiar with it, be aware that being high variance it is prone to very long bad streaks, but every now and again you can hit mega-big! Once I hit the 5 scatters for 600x Read the rest of this entry »

Ok…just noticed a Microgaming slot nearly sneak past my radar the other day…Cashapilla. Naff name and another slot with a bit of a cartoon feel to it - can’t say I’m normally a fan of that type of graphic, but it’s slightly better than most to look at. Also, it boasts 100 paylines Now that normally shouts “low variance” at me, and I’m a high-variance type of guy. Give me a risk anyday. 

But I took a look and this slot is not only quite interesting for the points mentioned, but actually quite playable too. In fact at the moment (OK, it won’t last!) Cashapilla is up there as one of my first ports of call. Look…it’ll never be Thunderstruck, but it’s making a nice distraction. It’s a “free spins” slot Read the rest of this entry »

Popular Microgaming slot, “Hitman” has been released to the Flash version of [Intertops] online casino (rather confusingly branded “Royal Joker Casino”) - a casino which still accepts USA players for what it’s worth. Many players will know this slot - it’s proved very popular since it’s arrival in mid-2007 and has arguably the best graphics, sounds and gameplay of any online slot, yet alone those on the Microgaming platform.

For those that have yet to try Hitman, you can click here to load a free popup interactive demo of the Hitman slot game using the same engine that drives the Flash version at [Intertops]. While the graphics on the Flash version are a little slower, and not quite as rich as the version of Hitman in the [Intertops] download casino, the gameplay is identical and the general look and feel is the same. Hitman’s appeal, graphics and sounds aside, is in the gameplay giving the player three seperate bonus rounds to aim for. As you’d expect, one of these is a free spins bonus Read the rest of this entry »

After what seems like an eternity, Wagerworks (IGT) have finally announced the imminent release of the long-antipated “real” version of their Elvis multi-strike slots at Virgin Casino (online, Flash, no download!).

That’s the good news…the bad news is reserved for Americans in that Wagerworks casinos do not allow US players under the current anti-gambling regime in place in the USA. However, for the rest of the world, October 2007 will finally see the introduction of this superb slot, the first in what will hopefully become a full suite of multi-strike games on offer at Wagerworks online casinos.

For those of you who have played the “fun version” at LED Gaming, or who ply your trade on the slots floor at various Las Vegas casinos Read the rest of this entry »

25th July 2007

RTG released three new slots in their Real Series today and these are now at [Club USA] and [iNetBet]. “Green Light“, “Incan Goddess” and “Tally Ho“ (a different theme to the Microgaming slot of the same name) all follow the Real Series format of being 20 line slots, “Fruit Frenzy” being the exception to the rule, with random jackpots and free spins feature rounds. Here, I take a look at the new 3 slots and provide brief reviews on each.

Green Light

When you get 3 or more scattered “green lights” you get to pick a car in a race. Where the car is placed determines how many free spins you get, up to a maximum of 25. Just tried this in test mode and got 15 spins with a retrigger of 20. The only thing Read the rest of this entry »

So many slots, so little time! The ultimate slot for me is the tried-and-tested “bonus” slot that awards you 15 free spins with all wins trebled. Sure, there are loads of variations ranging from 5 spins at 2x all the way up to 100 spins at 3x, but at the end of the day there are always compromises made to the payouts and variance to accommodate these.

So i decided to list all the slots that I know of, and play, that have the good old “15 free spins, all wins trebled“. they cross different software platforms, not all of which are available to everyone, so I’ve tried to point out where US players can’t play. If you know of any I’m missing, let me know - as long as they are at good, safe casinos Read the rest of this entry »
