Irish Luck

Irish Luck is a 5-reel 30-payline video slot machine powered by Playtech software. The Irish culture, along with superstition has been combined on the reels of this relatively new game, available at any online casino using the software. Playtech is known for their wide range of slot games, especially their Marvel themed slots, this time around; the theme may not be from a comic book, but it still holds all the great features players look for in a slot game.

The design is colorful and what you might expect from a game with Irish Luck in the title. Rich, vibrant green colors appear on the screen as the backdrop for the game is in a beautiful meadow. The soundtrack is thematic and simple, lively tunes play from your speakers as you press the spin button.

Irish Luck is a coin based game and credits start as low as 0.01. The riskier players will find that the 5.00 credit is attractive, and there are multiple options in between. The maximum bet per spin is 10 coins per payline, and the paylines may be reduced to suit your specific preference. With a fixed jackpot of 10,000 coins, it may be smart to keep all lines active.

The Irish woman is wild and will substitute for all other symbols in the game besides the Pot of Gold scatter. The wild symbol is also the highest paying symbol in Irish Luck and will payout the fixed jackpot of 10,000 coins should five wild icons land on an active payline. The Pot of Gold symbol is the scatter and will award scatter pays for two or more symbols. The payouts are paid according to the paytable, and are based off your total bet. Three scatters will trigger the free game feature.

Once the free games are activated, you will be taken to a different screen where you can choose from the lucky pots of gold. Each pot holds a different amount of free spins and multiplier, and you are automatically given 8 free games with a double multiplier to start. If lucky, you can win up to 33 free games with a whopping 15x multiplier.

After the amount of free games is revealed, you will be returned to the normal game mode where your free spins will be played. During the free games, you will have the opportunity to re-trigger the feature, but instead of redoing the whole feature you will just get the same number of spins added to the total that you received in the previous round.

You can choose to gamble your wins in the optional gamble side game. If you choose to use this feature, you simply choose the color of the face down playing card and hope you’re right. This can help double your win, however; be careful, any incorrect guesses will terminate the feature and all wins made inside the gamble and before will be lost.

Look for Irish Luck at your favorite Playtech powered online casino, if you need help finding the right one, check out these trusted and reputable Playtech powered casinos.

Just Vegas

Just Vegas is a 5-reel, 243 ways pay video slot powered by Cryptologic software. Having 243 ways to win means there are no “paylines” needed to win on the reels.

Just Vegas is all about what you would see on a vacation to the city of sin. The symbols, design and graphics play a huge role in carrying the theme throughout the game. The symbols include; High Roller, Lady High Roller, Stacks of Cash and VIP Host. Also, standard playing card values appear on the reels, completing the slot machine feel of the game.

Coin denominations vary between 0.01 and 500.00 per spin. This slot is attractive to any budget and any bankroll. The more you play, the more of a chance of winning you have with the awesome features, wilds and scatters. The highest paying jackpot in the game pays 1,000 coins, which is not a huge sum compared to other slot games. The fact that you have no paylines give you a better chance of landing this win on the reels; what it lacks in numbers it more than makes up for in game play and features.

The wild symbol is the Vegas symbol. This symbol acts as a substitute, creating more winning combinations on the reels. The more wilds that appear, the better as it substitutes for all symbols in the game besides the Just Vegas scatter. You should note that this symbol only appears on the middle three reels throughout the entire game so five wild symbols is not a possible winning combination.

The Just Vegas symbol is the scatter and can land in any position to payout. Winnings are paid according to the paytable and depend on the amount wagered. The ultimate scatter payout is 50x the total bet, which is quite small. The scatter does initiate the unique bonus feature, and three or more scatters will trigger the Just Vegas bonus round. Once activated, choose one of the three casino options.

The Asian Casino feature will give you 10 free spins with a tall wild that appears on the middle three reels.
The Egyptian Casino feature will give you 15 free games with the original wild, only appearing on the middle reels.
The Roman Casino feature will give you 5 free games with a massive 5x multiplier.

No matter which feature works best for you, the payout potential is substantial. Additionally, with 243 ways to win, you can’t go wrong. There are more slot machines like this offered by the software, and there has been a rise of these all pay games around many other casino software online. This is a Vegas style game in more ways than one and is ready to be played on your next visit to your favourite Cryptologic powered online casino.

Cleo: Queen of Egypt

Cleo: Queen of Egypt is an online slot machine powered by Cryptologic. A progressive slot machine, this is one of the more classic games in the list of video slots offered by the software. The layout is more of the earlier slot machine layouts with 5-reels and 9-paylines, making it more of a high variance slot game. Cleo: Queen of Egypt is one of the more popular games offered by the software not only because of the progressive jackpot, but also because the payouts can be quite profitable with a little luck.

Cleo: Queen of Egypt is a coin based game and denominations vary between 0.01 and 5.00, in multiple currencies. The total allowable bet per spin is $45, which is high enough to keep high rollers happy, and the lower bets are good for the more average player. The largest jackpot in the game, excluding the progressive is only 750 coins, but the jackpots attached to every payline makes up for the small fixed amount.

The theme is ancient Egypt and Cleopatra. The symbols and design of the game are simple but the details were executed with great details. The color, the symbols and the music are what you would expect to find and are similar to other games online with the same theme. Standard playing card values along with thematic icons make up the winning payline combinations. The Cleopatra symbol is wild and substitutes for all other symbols in the game besides the scatter. This helps you create more winning payline combinations, which helps keep you playing longer.

The Pyramid is the scatter and will activate scatter payouts for two or more symbols on the screen. When three or more scatter symbols appear, the bonus feature is activated.

When the feature is activated, pick from the Hieroglyphics symbols to reveal bonus prize and multiplier amount. All of the symbols hold different amounts, and you can keep picking until a “trap” is revealed. When the feature ends you will be returned to the normal game and all winnings from bonus will be added to your account.

The jackpots attached to Cleo: Queen of Egypt are super original. This is the first 9-payline video slot to have a jackpot attached to each individual payline. The jackpots are triggered by landing five Cleopatra symbols on a payline. Once that happens, you will win the corresponding jackpot that climbs until won on the screen. The amounts are different between the paylines, some greater than others.

For many reasons, Cleo: Queen of Egypt is much different than other 9-payline games offered on online casinos. This theme seems to be quite popular with the players and its unique features make it extraordinary. If you would like to give it a spin or two, check out these Cryptologic powered online casinos.

Spider-Man: Revelations

Spider-Man: Revelations is an online slot machine powered by Cryptologic software. Well-known in the casino industry as offering some of the most engaging slot games, including numerous Marvel themed slot games, Cryptologic provides quality home gambling entertainment to players all around the world from the comfort of their home.

Spider-Man Revelations is based on the widely popular comic book character of the same name. The story is based on a man who was bitten by a radioactive spider.

The bite transformed him into one of the most powerful beings on the planet, and gave him superhuman powers to fight evil doers and protect the citizens. This version of the game is based on Spider-Man and his fight against Dr. Octopus. During the bonus features and on the reels, the storyline is told and payouts join the storyline, making it not only exciting but potentially profitable.

The graphics are basic and cartoon like and the colors are bright. The soundtrack is what you would expect from a slot from Cryptologic, and it helps add to the entertainment of the game as you play. There are symbols taken from the comic such as the Radioactive Spider, the Subway Train and a Bank Vault, as well as standard playing card values.

The wild and scatter play a big role in the game. The highest paying symbol in the game is the Spider-Man symbol and he acts as other symbols, creating more payline wins for you on the reels. Not only does this symbol act as a substitute, it will also multiply all wins by 2x. Five wild symbols will payout 5,000 coins.

The scatter is the Spider-Man Revelations Logo. Two or more scatters will payout according to the paytable and three or more scatters will trigger the free game feature. The free game bonus round is unique and it’s a lot different than the other games offered by the software.

Once the game is activated, you are taken to a separate screen where you act as Spider-Man and find yourself atop a subway train facing Dr. Octopus. A passenger is thrown at you and will reveal your free game amount along with the multiplier to be used. Depending on what you receive, you can trade it in for another chance. You can do this two times and the third time is automatically what you will receive should you continue to retry your luck with the number of free games. The free games may be re-triggered by landing three or more scatters during the free spins, and instead of going back to the bonus round, you will be credited with the amount you won in the first round.

There are three progressive jackpots in Spider-Man Revelations. The Marvel Hero Jackpot, Super Hero Jackpot and Hero Jackpot are all available and are triggered at random. The largest jackpot of the three is the Marvel Hero Jackpot, but the other two jackpots are just as awesome.

See the screenshots below for paytable information. You can find this game, along with the other Marvel themed slot games offered by the software at your favourite online casino using the Cryptologic platform.

New MicroGaming Slots June 2011

Four new slots are coming to MicroGaming online casinos in June of 2011. Gold Factory, Reel Play Poker: Jacks or Better, Power Spins: Sonic 7’s, and MicroGamings first 3D slot – Sterling Silver 3D, which requires the use of 3D glasses.

For the last while, MicroGaming was releasing four new games every month. They have decided to cut that back to four new releases every quarter, in order to spend more time on creating interesting slots with new features, instead of just creating clones of other slots with different symbols. At first I was unhappy about having to wait so long for new games, since I was getting used to four new ones every month. Now that I see the new slots that they will be releasing next month, I am happy with their decision. These four new slots have some very interesting features.

Gold Factory is a 5-reel, 50-payline slot featuring wild symbols and a bonus feature with multiple levels and various rewards. The Boiler Room Bonus is triggered when three or more scatters land on the reels, you are given 4 picks out of 12 items. Find the special symbols to trigger two possible second level bonuses.

Get 50 free spins on Gold Factory at Red Flush Casino, click here to claim.

Find the Free Spins symbol to win anywhere between 10 and 35 free spins, with all wins doubled. Find the Reactor Bonus symbol to trigger that feature, where you are presented with another 12 items to pick from until you find the Malfunction symbol. Both second level features can be won if both symbols are found during the Boiler Room Bonus.

Reel Play Poker: Jacks or Better is a very interesting 5-reel, 20-payline hybrid between a video poker game and a slot machine. I can’t wait to try it. The symbols are made up of a single 52 card deck and the aim is to spin in the best poker hand you can on a payline, with the jackpot of course being a royal flush. This is the first slot in what sounds like a series of Reel Play Poker slots that will be coming from MicroGaming.

Clicking on Deal Spin will give you 5 cards, each corresponding to its own reel. You can hold the cards you want and then click Draw Spin to spin the reels that are left unheld. I’m assuming the held cards will fill their corresponding reel with three of the same cards, and then random cards will spin in on the unheld reels. Definitely excited to try this game and see exactly how it works, it sounds like it could be quite entertaining.

Power Spins: Sonic 7’s is a 5-reel, 9-payline slot featuring wild symbols and a new Power Spins feature. Activating the Power Spins feature will activate all paylines and cost an additional bet of 3x your line bet. While the Power Spins feature is enabled, wild symbols double your wins and add to each other if more than one is involved in the same win. For example, if two wilds are involved in a win, that win will be multiplied x4. Without the Power Spins enabled, it honestly sounds like a boring slot, with no bonus feature or free spins.

Sterling Silver 3D is the first ever 3D slot to come from MicroGaming. Get out your red and blue (or cyan) 3D glasses and enjoy this new twist on an old slot. This 5-reel, 25-payline 3D slot features wild symbols that appear on all reels but are stacked on the middle reel, and 15 free spins with all wins doubled. The wild symbols also have a random multiplier value from x2 to x10. I have played the original Sterling Silver slot quite a bit and it’s always been a good slot to play, it will be interesting to see it in 3D.

See the screenshots below for a sneak peek at these four new slots (you’ll need your 3D glasses to enjoy the last one), and play them at your favorite MicroGaming online casino when they are released on June 9th, 2011.

Thor

Thor is a 5-reel 9-payline video slot machine powered by Cryptologic online gaming software. A Marvel themed slot, Thor provides all the action the comic book does, this time on the reels. Cryptologic software is known for having some of the most exciting and engaging slot games on the web, and this time is no different.

Thor is gaining popularity as the movie, based off of the same character, plays on the big screen in theatres all over the world. Cryptologic went all out to bring the same magic to the computer screen and slot lovers all around the world.

The free games and payout potential are more than enough reasons to give this game a spin while on your next visit to your favourite Cryptologic powered online casino.

Thor is a magical and mythological character and the strike of his hammer possesses serious powers. He and all the icons from the popular comic find their way onto the reels and bring the theme to live with colorful symbols, mild animation and thematic sound effects. With the fewer paylines, players can expect this game to be a higher variance to the other games offered by the software, and that may be what makes it worth playing. Larger paying hits are possible, and the fixed jackpot for Thor is an impressive 4,000 coins for five Thor symbols on an active payline.

Thor is wild and will substitute for all other symbols in the game besides the scatter. This is an important feature in the game as wild symbols can help create many more wins for you on the reels. The Thor Logo is the scatter icon and will payout multiples of your total bet for at least two symbols in any spot on the reels. The more scatters the better as this symbol also activates the free game bonus feature.
Three or more scattered Thor Logos will activate 10 free games with a triple multiplier. What is even better is the free games may be retriggered by landing three or more scatters during a single free game. The bonus feature could go on indefinitely, however; that is extremely unlikely.

There are progressive jackpots attached to Thor and that is the ultimate win when playing this slot game. There are three jackpots in total and they continue to climb on the screen until won. The Marvel Hero jackpot is the largest of the three and all of the progressive jackpots are won at random.

If you are ready to play Thor or any other of the popular Marvel themed video slots offered by Cryptologic software, spin to win now at any trusted Cryptologic online casino.

Avalon

Avalon is a 5-reel 20-payline slot machine powered by Microgaming software. The layout is simple, and the graphics are very basic, however; the payouts more than make up for it.

The bonus feature alone could bring over 200,000 coins in a single spin which could make any slot player excited about pressing the spin button. This is one of the most popular games at all Microgaming powered online casinos and can be found on both the download and instant play casino client. You can also play a free demo here.

The theme of Avalon is based on the legend of King Arthur. Avalon is a mysterious place and the Lady of the Lake can be seen in the mist. The Avalon Mist is the wild and will substitute for all other symbols in the game besides the scatter. The more wild symbols that appear on the reels, the better, as five wilds will payout the fixed jackpot in the game of 3,000 coins when on an active payline. The Lady of the Lake symbol in Avalon is the scatter and can not only multiply your total bet depending on the number of scatters that land on the reels, it will also activate the free game feature.

When three or more scatters appear in any position on the reels the free game feature is activated and there is an extra wild. The Treasure Chest symbol, which is a normal symbol during the regular game mode becomes wild during the feature; making the possibility of five wilds even greater during the free games. Not only is there an extra wild, there is a random multiplier. Every win will be multiplied during all 12 spins all the way up to 7x. This is where it gets really exciting because the payouts can be massive and even with the minimum bet size, the wins could increase your bankroll substantially.

Avalon is a coin based game and the denominations range in between $0.01 and $0.50; furthermore the paylines may be reduced to your personal preference. It is recommended that all lines stay active to ensure the maximum winning possibilities. The maximum bet no matter the coin value is 200 coins, which is perfect for all types of players. The more risky slot spinner to the modest conservative player, everyone will find a bet that works for them.

Finally, there is a gamble feature in Avalon. This option gives you the opportunity to double their wins made on the reels. If you decide to gamble you will be taken to a second screen where you must choose the colour of the facedown playing card. It’s quite simple, and if successful, very profitable. You should also keep in mind that if you gamble and lose; all wins will be lost and you will be returned to normal game mode.

You can find Avalon, along with many other games at your favourite Microgaming powered online casino.

Mice Dice

Mice Dice is a 5-reel 25-payline video slot machine powered by Realtime Gaming. This is one of the newest additions to the Real Series Video Slot games at most Realtime Gaming powered online casinos. Canadian players and USA residents are able to play Mice Dice at their favourite RTG casino.

The theme of the game is lighthearted and fun, with a bit of a comical twist. The furry rodents make their way onto the reels in a casino theme. They pose as dealers, women, and the other symbols such as a wind up car and a cat casino make the game much more amusing. There are also the standard playing card values that appear on the reels, in true slot machine fashion.

Mice Dice is a coin based game and you can choose between $0.01 and $5 per payline, making the total bet a $125 spin. That is a huge amount for even the highest of bankrolls, but it’s good to know that the option is still there, and the betting options in between the two are great for players that like to switch up their betting patterns. The largest payout in Mice Dice is huge, but you should keep in mind that there are limits on the wins; 50,000x line bet.

The wild in the game is the Mouse with the Dice and will substitute for all other symbols on the reels, besides the scatter; helping to create more winning paylines for you as you spin.

Once the feature is triggered by two dice landing on the reels from left to right, the die are rolled and the free games and multiplier is revealed.

You can win up to 30 free games with a 12x multiplier if you land all the dice. Additionally, this game has a feature guarantee if you can’t seem to land the dice on the reels.

Of course since this is a Real Series Video Slot, there are the Random Jackpots. Both Minor and Major jackpots are active and can be triggered at random at the end of any spin; no matter the bet size. You can watch the jackpots climb above the reels for easy reference.
