online casinos and slots

Important - 31st July 2008: US players please note that IGT today implemented code to prevent players from playing their games in free play mode.  The only game available to US residents in free mode is now Cleopatra I.

IGT’s Cleopatra II slot has just been launched online at Paddy Power and Virgin Casino, both Wagerworks casinos (no surprise there as Wagerworks is part-owned by IGT)! The unfortunate anomaly is that while IGT slots are well known to US players, the laws in the USA are such that Wagerworks do not accept players from the US, so playing all these fun slots isn’t an option.

A free play version of Cleopatra II (along with the original Cleopatra slot, Wolf Run and Gems) has been launched on the Online Casinos Vegas website which specialises in providing free play versions of popular Las Vegas slot games. The game is an exact replica of the Vegas slot - high variance but with a great bonus round.

Play Cleopatra II free.

Dedicated slots tournaments web portal, Slot Tournaments .net has created a free toolbar for monitoring online freeroll slot tournaments from casinos running the Microgaming tournaments plugin. It’s a neat little tool that (currently) works in Internet Explorer.

Installation is simple - just download a zip file, run the executable therein and it add a small toolbar to IE which shows the next tournament due and the time it starts. It also features a “countdown” which tells you when there is 20 minutes to go, then changes colour when there is 10 minutes to go. This is Read the rest of this slot article »

Well time change I guess and in the past couple of years playing I’ve seen a load more choice in the slots I get to lose my money on online…so I thought it was time I updated my “favourite slots” list! All things are obviously different to everyone so I’ll stop short of saying these are the best online slots - you may disagree. Although I am always right so there ;)

For background purposes, I live in the UK and grew up with pub fruities - this is way before the smoking ban came in but I can’t blame that on switching to online…I put that down to the fact that online you get circa 95% payback! When I went online I was unfamiliar with the Vegas style slots, but it didn’t take long to realise these are so much more Read the rest of this slot article »

Casinoshare (Microgaming) have launched a brand new slots promotion for new players in time for 2008 - get $2008 (or euros or UK Pounds) free and 60 minutes to make as much as you can from it. These type of promotions have been around for a while and proved very popular. Of course, nothing is quite as easy as it seems - there are limits to what you can cash out, but as a way to see and get a feel for a casino, this is easily one of the best.

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 slot article »

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 slot article »

Frequent any of the player forums out there and you’ll often see debate over which online casino slots are the best. There are four primary sofwtare providers powering most of the “reputable” online casinos, notably RTG (Realtime Gaming), Microgaming, Playtech and Cryptologic. However, with the latter two not accepting US players, the big battle comes down to RTG and Microgaming. So who has the best slots?

Options & Selection

RTG have two sets of slots: The “Real Series” and their standard 3-reel or 5-reel video slots. As with all providers they add new ones from time to time, but nowhere near as frequently as Microgaming who usually release 2 a month. You could argue that this is overkill and many are simply clones of existing slots, and you’d be right, but every now and again, a gem pops up Read the rest of this slot article »
