All Slots Casino Review

All Slots Casino is one of the best Microgaming online casinos to play at. All Slots is licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority in Malta. The Microgaming software was created by a Canadian company.

Enjoy a 100% match bonus up to $250 on your first deposit after signing up, and then 50% bonuses on your next three deposits. This welcome package is worth up to $1600 is you max out each bonus.

Don’t be fooled by the “All Slots” name, while there are over 400 slots, there are also over 150 other casino games including blackjack, video poker, keno, roulette and other games.

Also enjoy the several blackjack and slot tournaments available every day, with many being freeroll tournaments.

The loyalty program at All Slots online casino allows you to accumulate points from wagering on the various casino games, which can be redeemed for cash back after a certain amount is reached. Even if you cash in your points, the overall number of points accumulated counts toward your “loyalty ladder” position. The more points you accumulate, the higher up the VIP ladder you climb, you don’t lose anything by cashing in.

Climbing to higher VIP levels also opens opportunities for better rewards including various bonuses, dedicated support, faster payouts, and even paid vacations if you climb to a high enough level.

I have found the live chat support to be very responsive and helpful, acting quickly to solve any issue or respond to any request that I had.

As with most Microgaming casinos, withdrawals are placed in a 24hr ‘pending’ period where some or all of the withdrawal can be reversed if you wish to play more. Live chat support is usually quite happy to ‘flush’ your withdrawal if you ask nicely, removing the pending status and sending it to the cashier for faster processing. I prefer to do it that way and just deposit again if I wish to play more.

Several different currencies are available for wagering on the many games available, and players from most countries are welcome. Players from the US are currently unable to open new accounts at Microgaming casinos. Hopefully this will be changed soon as the US government warms up to gambling online.

If you are from the US, I believe clicking one of the links on this page will take you to Jackpot Capital, a trusted RTG casino.

All Slots online casino is backed by the well established and trusted Jackpot Factory group. They have been around for a long time with very few legitimate complaints over the years. Enjoy the selection of over 500 various casino games knowing that you will be paid any and all winnings owed to you when you hit that withdrawal button. Today could be your lucky day, head over to All Slots Casino and start winning!

New Respin Feature on MicroGaming Slots

Two of the four new MicroGaming slots that were released yesterday, November 9th 2010, feature a new respin option. You can pay a certain amount to respin one reel at a time. The 5-reel slots with the new feature are Reel Gems and Retro Reels.

The cost of respinning a reel is determined by the odds of hitting big on that respin. If you see four high paying symbols lining up and want to respin a reel to try to line up five, it will cost several times your total bet. It’s quite cheap to respin the last few reels to line things up starting from that end, but the cost jumps way up when trying to line up the fifth symbol.

I tried it out in practice mode just to see how it worked, and I had mixed results. I found that the best time to use the respin is on Reel Gems, a ‘243 ways-to-win’ slot, when the wild symbols land on reels 2 and 4. You can respin the other reels to line up some very nice wins. Doing this I was able to increase my bankroll by quite a bit.

The worst I did was on Retro Reels when I was trying to line up 5 of the jackpot symbols. I got four to line up on reels 2-5, and then it cost $50 per respin on the first reel. I quickly lost all my money without hitting the jackpot.

So it’s best not to try for the biggest wins possible, as it can be quite costly, but you could get lucky and hit it on the first respin. It all comes down to the risk you are willing to take.

Try this new feature and the four new slots at Golden Tiger Casino today!

Pink Panther Slot

Pink Panther is a very unique slot by Playtech. It features 40 paylines, a wild symbol, progressive jackpots, and many randomly triggered bonus features.

The main bonus feature, which triggers more often than the others, is the Pink Pow feature. The Pink Panther, who is always standing beside the reels during play, pushes down on a detonator that blows up 2 – 6 of the symbols on the reels, and turns them wild. I’ve had quite a few nice hits from this feature.

My favorite feature is the Crack the Pink Code Bonus, where you are taken to a screen with 6 safes. Keep opening them until you find one with dynamite. You can be awarded free spins, multipliers, and/or an expanding wild on the middle reel. When you find the dynamite you are awarded another prize before the free spins start.

The Color Pink Bonus is another randomly triggered bonus round. The Pink Panther and the little man paint a wall of numbers, one paints pink and the other paints blue. The pink numbers add together to equal your bet multiplier that determines your prize. If you don’t like the result, you are given two more repaints to try for more.

Another feature is The Wheel of Pink Bonus, where the Pink Panther spins two wheels. The wheel on the outside represents the bet multiplier, and the inner wheel determines whether you will collect your prize or spin again. Each respin adds the multiplier to the total bet multiplier, determining your prize amount once collect is hit on a spin.

The Pink Trail Bonus has Inspector Clouseau following the Pink Panther’s footsteps for 4 rounds, looking for a stolen diamond. Each footstep adds a certain number to the total bet multiplier, and the number of steps taken each round is random. At the end of each round you have the choice to continue or collect your prize. If you continue, you run the risk of falling into a trap and halving the total multiplier. If you continue through all four rounds successfully, you find the stolen diamond and it doubles your total multiplier for a huge win.

The final bonus that is randomly triggered features two progressive jackpots. Like the other radom features, this one can be triggered by any spin with any bet size, but for this one a higher bet increases your chances of it being triggered. You are taken to a screen with 12 doors, open them to reveal characters. Finding 5 Pink Panthers wins the Major Pink Jackpot, 4 Inspector Clouseau characters wins the Minor Pink Jackpot, and 3 little man characters wins the consolation prize. See the screenshot below for an example.

Tomb Raider 2

Tomb Raider – Secret of the Sword is the second Tomb Raider themed slot to hit MicroGaming casinos. It features 30 paylines, a wild symbol, free spins with “Rolling Reels”, a random “Super Mode”, and the “Global Adventure Bonus”.

Like many other slots, this second slot based on the Tomb Raider theme is better than the first. The first version, also available for play, has half the paylines and dated graphics but I still enjoy playing it from time to time. The bonus feature in Secret of the Sword is also much better than the first version, but it takes a while to finally trigger.

The Global Adventure Bonus is triggered by ‘activating’ all 5 reels. A reel is activated when the passport symbol lands on the middle of the reel. When the final reel is activated, you are taken to a screen showing a world map with destinations for you to pick. The goal is to find all the sword fragments to complete the adventure. Pick a destination to start your adventure wherever you wish. Each destination takes you to a screen with several choices, one has the sword fragment, others have cash prizes or they can be a trap. Keep choosing until you find the fragment to continue the adventure, or two Trap symbols that can end the bonus.

You can also find a Hidden Treasure in any of the destinations, where you select one of three extra choices that pop up after choosing that spot. You can be awarded more cash, a multiplier for that cash prize, everything hidden there, or the Shootout Bonus. In the Shootout Bonus you are taken to a screen with several discs hiding cash prizes. Shoot one to remove all other discs and reveal your prize.

If you’re lucky enough after finding two traps, you may be able to continue the adventure by winning a fight with an enemy. This encounter is randomly triggered, so you won’t have that chance every time. Personally, I find they give you this chance more often than not. Complete the Global Adventure Bonus by finding all the sword fragments, and win up to 450x your bet.

Free spins are triggered by three or more scatter symbols landing on the reels during a spin. You are awarded 10 free spins with a Rolling Reels feature. When symbols line up for a win, they are counted and then removed from the reels and the multiplier is increased by one. The remaining symbols then fall down to fill the spaces, and new symbols fall in. If another win is lined up, the process repeats with a maximum multiplier of x5 until the symbols no longer line up, and then the next spin is played. Free spins cannot be retriggered and the Global Adventure Bonus cannot be triggered during free spins.

Super Mode can be triggered randomly on any spin, except during free spins. This feature awards 5 free spins with Laura Croft randomly shooting symbols and making them wild. The wilds are then held until the completion of Super Mode.

I have always had decent luck playing this slot. The Global Adventure Bonus can be quite rewarding, I’ve won over $1000 on a $3 bet by completing the adventure, but I have also lost quickly without winning much. I didn’t take a screenshot of that big win, but see the screenshots below for paytable information, hopefully I can add a nice winning screenshot in the future.

ThunderStruck II

ThunderStruck II is a very feature rich MicroGaming slot that is unique and fun to play. It features 243 ways to win, a wild symbol that doubles your wins, the “WildStorm” feature, and a bonus with four different options for free spins. This slot also rewards you for playing it more with player accomplishments and progression in the Great Hall of Spins.

ThunderStruck II is a much better slot than the original ThunderStruck, which is still available to play. The original slot only had 9 paylines and a regular free spin feature. Much less interesting than this new and improved slot.

The WildStorm feature can be triggered randomly at any time, on any sized bet. When you click to spin, the reels all keep spinning longer than usual while clouds form on top, lightning and thunder can be heard, and a Viking warrior drops down onto the screen. After he leaps away, lightning bolts strike the reels making them wild and holding them for one spin. Any number of reels can become wild and some huge wins have been hit when three or more reels are made wild during this feature.

The free spins bonus round is triggered when three or more Thor’s Hammer symbols land on the reels during a spin. The amount of times you have triggered the bonus on this slot, at the same casino, determines the choices you get for free spins. The first four times you trigger free spins, you are only given one choice – Valkyrie – where you are given 10 free spins with a x5 multiplier.

The fifth time you trigger the bonus, a new choice is added – Loki – where you have 15 free spins with a “Wild Magic” feature. If the Wild Magic symbol lands on the middle reel during any of those 15 spins, it randomly multiplies itself a number of times to make other symbols on the reels wild.

On your 10th bonus trigger, another choice is added – Odin – with 20 free spins and the “Wild Raven” feature. Two ravens randomly land on symbols during those spins, turning them into 2x or 3x multipliers.

Finally, on the 15th trigger of the bonus, the last choice is added – Thor – where you get 25 free spins with Rolling Reels and up to a x5 multiplier. On the completion of a winning spin, the symbols involved in the win are removed, the multiplier is increased, and new symbols drop in where there is room created. This can cause multiple consecutive wins from a single spin, and once nothing lines up, the next spin is started.

ThunderStruck II also has “Player Achievements”, which allow you to track your progress via the paytable. It shows how far along you are in the Great Hall of Spins, and shows the symbols that you have lined up by turning the paytable information gold for that symbol. It does not count as an achievement if a wild is part of a winning combination. See my TS2 paytable from 32Red Casino in the screenshots below for an example.

I have had good times and bad with this slot, so it’s hard to say how I really feel about it. I do like all the features though and it is a fun slot game to play. Play it now at any of these trusted MicroGaming online casinos.

Steinfest Slot

Steinfest is a brand new MicroGaming slot, realeased on October 11th. It features 9 paylines, a free spins feature, stacked wild symbols, and the “Beer Chug Bonus”.

The Beer Chug Bonus is triggered by 3, 4, or 5 scattered Beer Mug symbols land on the reels during a spin, you are awarded 3, 4, or 5 picks respectively. You are taken to a screen with 12 patrons sitting in a bar. Select the thirsty patrons that you want the ladies to serve. The more they can drink before passing out, the more money you win. You can also win additional ‘bonus beers’ when you select a patron, allowing you to pick again.

The free spins feature is triggered by three or more Scatter symbols landing on the reels during a spin. You are awarded 12 free spins where all wins are doubled. Free spins can be retriggered for 12 extra spins, and the Beer Chug Bonus can also be triggered during free spins.

Much like the new Monsters in the Closet slot, I had a hard time winning anything on this game. Again there are two different scatter symbols for two different bonus rounds, and I find it difficult to hit hit either feature. The fact that this slot also only has 9 paylines with all those scatter symbols clogging things up, it’s tough to line anything up as well. Once you do hit the Beer Chug Bonus, it pays quite well, but it took me quite a few spins to get there.

The stacked wilds are really the only thing that saves you on this slot. They do show up often enough to keep you playing for a while, and there is potential for some very big wins since the stacked wilds show up on every reel. I have managed some decent wins, though nothing worth taking a screenshot of. See the screenshots below for paytables.

Daily Slot Tournaments

I have never been much of a fan of MicroGaming slot tournaments. The reels always seemed to spin way too slow, using up very valuable time, and they always offered far too many continues, allowing people to just ‘buy their way’ to first place.

Major improvements have been made, and the MG slot tournaments are getting better all the time. I’ve been playing them the last few days and although many freerolls still offer too many continues, the reels seem to spin normally and you actually have the opportunity to run out of coins before running out of time, maximizing your chances of hitting a big win and climbing to the top of the leader board.

There are also several new types of slot tournaments available, including my favorite type, the “One Shot”. This tournament type only gives the player one shot, with no option to rebuy or continue. This alone has restored my faith in MicroGaming slot tournaments, as it is really the fairest way to structure a tournament.
