Pharaoh’s Secrets

Pharaoh's Secrets SlotPharaoh’s Secrets is a 5-reel slot found at Playtech online casinos. This slot features 20 paylines, wild symbols that can expand, free spins, and the Xtra Win feature.

Activating the Xtra Win Feature adds another 50% of your bet to the total bet, and turns the wild symbol into an expanding wild. To activate the feature, simply click on the icon to the top right of the reels, you must be playing all 20 paylines.

Without the Xtra Win feature activated, the wild symbol does not expand during regular spins, but it does expand during free spins. Scatter wins are paid based on the total bet, and line wins pay based on the line bet.

The Free Spins Feature is triggered when three or more scattered Pyramid symbols land on the reels during a spin. You are then given a choice of three symbols from the game. Your chosen symbol will then appear a random number of times on the reels, the more it appears, the more free spins you are awarded (up to 100). The wild both expands and doubles your wins during free spins. The feature can be re-triggered if three or more scatters land, and the same symbol that you chose will once again randomly appear on the reels to give you more free spins.

I always play this slot with the Xtra Win activated. Since the wild only appears on the middle three reels, having them expand makes the game a whole lot better a gives it better potential for big wins.

Easter Surprise

Easter Surprise SlotEaster Surprise is a new online slot from Playtech, released just in time for Easter 2011. This slot features 20 paylines, wild symbols, and two bonus features.

The Free Spins Feature is triggered when three or more scattered Easter Surprise symbols land on the reels during a spin. You are awarded 10 free spins with a x3 multiplier. Free spins can be re-triggered with three more scatters.

The Easter Eggs Bonus is triggered when three or more bonus symbols line up on an active payline from left to right. You are taken to a second screen with a cute bunny presenting you with a choice of 6 different eggs, each with a cash prize inside. You get to choose one egg for every bonus symbol that lined up to trigger the feature.

Easter Surprise is basically a clone of the Santa Surprise slot, with different symbols and bonus theme. Having such similar names, and with the timing of their releases, that shouldn’t come as a big surprise. That’s not a bad thing though, they are both decent slots with bonus features that usually pay quite well. I also find that the wild symbols show up fairly often on both of these slots, which is definitely a nice thing to see when playing a slot.

Cleopatra’s Gold

Cleopatra SlotCleopatra’s Gold is a 5-reel slot that you can play at RTG online casinos. This slot features 20 paylines, wild symbols that double your wins, and a free spins bonus.

The Free Spins Feature is triggered when three or more scattered Pyramid symbols land on the reels during a spin. You are awarded 15 free spins with all wins being tripled, and since the wild symbol doubles the wins it is involved in, prizes are multiplied by 6 when a wild appears in a winning combination during free spins.

Free Spins can be re-triggered if three or more scatters land during the feature, and you are given an additional 15 free spins on top of the current number.

There is also a Progressive Jackpot that can be won at the end of any spin, with any sized bet, though your chance of winning it increases with a higher bet size. This is the same type of random jackpot found on most RTG slots.

I don’t play this slot very often, but I can’t say I stay away from it because it’s been overly bad to me or anything. It’s just never given me a really good win so it isn’t on my list of RTG slots I play regularly. It’s always given me free spins within a reasonable amount of time when I’ve stuck around to play it for a while.

Savannah Sunrise

Savannah Sunrise SlotSavannah Sunrise is a 5-reel slot found at Cryptologic online casinos. This slot features 243 ways to win, a wild symbol on reels 2 and 4, and a free spins bonus.

You can change the number of reels on this slot, and any inactive reels only pay on the middle symbol. Playing all five reels activates the 243 ways to win, and it costs the same as playing all lines on a 25 payline slot. I wouldn’t suggest playing less than 5 reels, as you would possibly be passing up wins and free spins. Plus if you’re playing with pennies, it would only cost 25 cents for a spin.

Free spins are triggered when three or more scattered Tree symbols land on the reels from left-to-right during a spin. You are awarded 20 free spins with various multipliers. If the wild Lion symbol substitutes in a winning combination on reel 2, the prize is multiplied by 3, and if the Lion is involved with a win on reel 4, the prize is multiplied by 5. If the wild lands on both reels 2 and 4, and both of them substitute in a winning combination, the prize is multiplied by 15.

I wouldn’t like this slot very much if it wasn’t for the 243 ways. Having that makes it fairly easy to hit the 15x multiplier during free spins, and when it does you know it’s at least a 4 of a kind, or more than one.

Vampire Bats

Vampire Bats SlotVampire Bats is a spooky 5-reel slot that you can find at Cryptologic casinos. This slot features 25 paylines, wild symbols, a re-spin feature, and progressive jackpots. The Bat symbol is wild and only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4.

The Re-Spin Feature is triggered when wild Bat symbols land on reels 2 and 4 during the same spin. You are awarded 4 free re-spins and the wilds on reels 2 and 4 expand to fill the entire reels for the duration of the feature. The re-spins feature obviously cannot be re-triggered due to reels 2 and 4 being occupied.

There are two Progressive Jackpots available on Vampire Bats, called the Frightmare Jackpots, which are networked with a couple other spooky-themed slots. The Monster Jackpot is the major, and the Spooky Jackpot is the minor. These jackpots are awarded randomly, but having a higher bet size increases your chances of hitting one.

See the screenshots below for paytable information. The screenshot in the middle was taken shortly after I won the Spooky Jackpot for about $350 on a 25c spin. I didn’t even know I hit it until a few spins later when I looked at my balance, nothing had lined up and I spun too fast. I didn’t expect to hit any kind of jackpot with such a small bet, I was just playing it because I like the re-spin feature. Play Vampire Bats today at these trusted Cryptologic Casinos.

Coat of Arms

Coat of Arms SlotCoat of Arms is a new RTG slot, released early in April of 2011. This slot features 25 paylines, wild symbols that double your win, and two bonus features.

During regular spins, a Golden Shield may randomly appear on symbols in the first three reels. If the shield appears on all three reels in the same spin, you are awarded 15 free spins. Prizes are doubled during the first five spins, tripled for the next five, and then quadrupled for all free spins afterwards. A wild Crown symbol is added to the middle reel during free spins and each time one appears, it is added above the reels. Collecting 5 crown symbols above the reels during free spins awards an extra 5 free spins, up to a maximum of 10 extra spins.

A Re-Spin Feature is triggered when two or more scattered White Knight symbols land on the reels from left-to-right. You are awarded up to 10 free re-spins. The reels with the White Knight are then held while the rest of the reels spin, and only the scatters pay during the re-spins. They do not have to land left-to-right like the triggering spin, they can land on any of the reels and pay with the rest. If any White Knight symbols land on the re-spun reels, the reel is not held for the remainder, you are just paid on the scatter wins and only the original reels are held.

If 5 scatters land to trigger the feature, the reels only spin for show, and they land in the same positions to pay 5 scatters (200x your bet) up to 10 times. Obviously the more scatters that trigger the feature, the better chances you have of getting a nice win, it’s just too bad extra reels aren’t held when the scatters land during re-spins.

Braveheart

Braveheart SlotBraveheart is a 5-reel Cryptologic slot based on the hit 1995 movie starring Mel Gibson. This slot features 25 paylines, stacked wilds on all reels that double your wins, and two different bonus features.

The Battle Free Game Feature is triggered when three or more scatters land on the reels during a spin. You are awarded 10 free spins with all wins being doubled. A battle between England and Scotland takes place during the free spins, and the Longshanks (King Edward I) symbol is stacked on the reels.

Each Braveheart symbol that lands during free spins advances the Scottish side, and each Longshanks symbol that lands advances the English side. If Scotland is ahead at the end of free spins, you are awarded a bonus prize of up to 100x the triggering bet. Considering that the Longshanks symbol is one of the highest paying symbols, and is stacked along with the wilds in free spins, there is potential for some very big wins. This feature cannot be re-triggered.

The Kilt Lift Feature is very classy. The Kilt symbols are present on all reels and they pay like regular symbols, but if three of them land anywhere on the middle three reels, it triggers the Kilt Lift Feature. Pick one of the symbols and the lad will lift his kilt to reveal your prize… lol. You can also win an extra pick or ‘Win All’ can be awarded.

As with the Forrest Gump slot, Braveheart comes with five levels of progressive jackpots that are randomly awarded. The higher your bet, the better your chances are of triggering the jackpot game. During the jackpot game you make up to four selections to reveal film reels that are either gold, silver, or bronze, and you are awarded 10, 5, or 3 points respectively. If you get enough points, you move up to the higher level jackpot and play the game again.

This slot features 50 paylines, stacked wilds on reels 2 and 4, and two bonus features. The Green Lantern symbol is the stacked wild, and he multiplies all wins by two.

Activate the Bonus Bet to get the best return from this slot. When the Bonus Bet is activated, you must play all 50 lines plus an extra 10 coins. Scatters pay more, and the Ring Feature is only available when the Bonus Bet is activated.

If the Green Lantern wins, you are awarded up to 100x your bet, and if he loses, you win a prize based on how close his energy beam got to Sinestro.

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump SlotForrest Gump is a fun Cryptologic slot to play, it features 25 paylines, wild symbols, and two bonus features, along with audio and video clips from the classic Forrest Gump movie. If you watch the intro movie all the way through, you can hear Bubba say “You can sit down if you want to”, I got a kick out of that.

Forrest is the wild symbol, he only appears on the middle three reels and doubles any winning combinations he is part of. A box of chocolates is the scatter symbol and a bonus feature is awarded when three or more land on the reels.

The Box of Chocolates Feature is triggered when three or more scatters land during a single spin. You are initially awarded 5 free games, and 9 boxes of chocolates appear on the screen, click on these to win more games until ‘Start’ is revealed. You are then taken to a screen showing a box of 9 chocolates in a 3×3 grid, and a paytable showing the values of the different chocolates. Each free game consists of chocolates falling into their spots in the box, and you win a prize for every three or more matching chocolates in each round.

The Run Forrest Run Feature is triggered when 3, 4, or 5 footballs line up on an active payline. You are taken to the scene where Forrest is playing in one of his first football games and keeps on running after scoring a touchdown. You control Forrest with the arrow keys to try to avoid getting tackled, and you win a cash prize for every 10-yard line passed. If Forrest scores a touchdown, and extra bonus prize is awarded.

The are five levels of Progressive Jackpots that are awarded randomly, no matching symbols are required, but the size of your bet determines your chance of winning one. Play the jackpot game by making selections to reveal gold, silver, or bronze film reels for 10, 5, and 3 points each. If you get enough points, you move up to the next level.
