Immortal Romance

Immortal Romance is one of the newest additions to the slot world from Microgaming. From the same company that created Thunderstruck, The Immortal Romance provides players with amazing action, huge payouts and endless entertainment. Released in December 2011, this game became an instant hit in many online casinos. This game offers 243 ways to win and is a themed slot based on witches and vampires. The game is played on 5 reels and includes many additional features that can increase winnings.

The game features some amazing graphics and awesome characters, including Troy, Amber, Sarah and Michael as the main characters. Each of these characters will trigger a separate bonus round. In addition, players will be able to use other symbols to create great winning combinations. Some other game symbols include the Immortal Romance logo, and the Lion Door Knocker. The game logo will act as a wild symbol and will take the place of all other symbols seen in the game with the exception of the scatter icon. The wild is a multiplier that doubles the normal payouts when this symbol appears in a winning combination.

The scatter icon is the door knocker and players will need to get at least two of these anywhere on the reels to receive a scatter pay. In addition, three or more will trigger the Chamber of Spins Bonus round. This is a unique bonus because players can win various amounts of spins depending on the number of times the bonus round has been triggered. The main characters in the game will provide players with the number of spins awarded.

The Amber feature will provide players with 10 free spins and all wins will be multiplied by 5. After completing 4 Amber spin rounds, players will reach the Troy free spin round, which offers 15 free spins and a Vampire Bat feature. The bats will make certain symbols turn into multipliers. After triggering this bonus five times, the Michael bonus becomes activated, awarding 20 spins and rolling reels. The final bonus is the Sarah feature, providing 25 free spins and a Wild Vine Feature. See the screenshots below for more information on each feature.

There is also the Wild Desire Feature which can be randomly triggered on any spin outside of free spins. This feature will transform at least one reel into a wild one, and it is possible for all 5 reels to become wild, giving you the biggest payout possible. I know some people who have hit it, but I haven’t been as lucky yet.

While Immortal Romance does not offer a progressive jackpot, players will find they will win amazing amounts from the regular payouts as well as the bonus features. Though the game has only been out for a few months, players have already deemed it a favourite in many Microgaming online casinos. Immortal Romance provides players with the level of action they are seeking and many high paying rewards.

Canadian Calvin Ayre Indicted

The founder of Bodog, one of the largest online gambling firms, has been indicted for operating illegal gambling business in the US that involves sports betting. Calvin Ayre has also been charged with conspiring to launder money.

For the past few years, Ayre has been able to avoid US law enforcement as he continued to offer casino games and online sports betting to residents of the United States. The sports gambling site, Bodog.com, has also been seized by the government. On Feb, 22, 2012, Ayre and three other Canadians were indicted in Maryland by a federal grand jury.

The four individuals have been accused of conducting illegal betting acts and money laundering.

Many online gamblers from the United States were being paid with funds that were moved through various accounts in Europe and Canada and more than $100 million had been sent through checks and wire payments. Despite the fact that Bodog.com was registered in Canada, the indictment against Ayre is based on the movement of funds outside of the United States, and this was enough to prosecute the billionaire.

The four accused individuals are currently facing a 5 year sentence for illegal gambling as well as 20 years for laundering money. In addition, Bodog.com faces a fine that could be as much as $500,000 for the same charges. While Ayre and his three partners are not in the US at this time, a warrant for their arrest has been issued.

Ayre is not in agreement with the charges and has released a statement saying, “I see this as abuse of the US criminal justice system for the commercial gain of large US corporations. It is clear that the online gambling industry is legal under international law and in the case of these documents it is also clear that the rule of law was not allowed to slow down a rush to try to win the war of public opinion.”

The federal indictment covers business that has been conducted from June 2006 to January 2012. In addition to more than $100 million being paid to online gamblers, the Bodog site is accused of spending more than $40 million on advertising specifically targeting US players and attracting them to the site.

Since 2006, Ayre has been skirting and avoiding the laws on online gambling in the US. He was quoted in Forbes magazine, saying “Catch me if you can.” After years of taunting the US government, it all comes crashing down with this indictment and the seizing of the ever popular Bodog.com site. The investigation that eventually led to this indictment was comprised of an informant that once worked for Bodog as well as law enforcement officers working undercover, making wagers on sporting events and requesting payouts from Bodog.

The Grand Journey

The Grand Journey is one of the newer video slot games that can be found at a number of online casinos that are powered by Microgaming. This game is not your typical slot. Being a Microgaming slot, players are expecting the game to deliver high levels of action and some fantastic payouts, and it does just that. The Grand Journey takes players on an adventure to a prehistoric age. All of the symbols are directly related to this theme and include a T-Rex, saber tooth tiger, volcano, temple, forest and gear. Each of the symbols that appear in the game are animated, enhancing the gaming experience even more.

In addition to the symbols used to create winning combinations, The Grand Journey uses additional symbols as part of special featured. The Grand Journey logo acts as a wild symbol and will appear as a stacked wild on all reels. When the wild is used to create winning combinations, the amount of the win will be double the normal payout amount. While most players would be happy with this wild symbol, Microgaming decided to be generous and throw in an additional wild. The time machine will also be wild and this will appear on the third reel. It is an expanding wild, so the entire reel will become wild when the symbol appears.

The scatter symbol in the game is the earth and this will produce a scatter pay with two or more symbols anywhere on the reels. If players are lucky enough to get three or more of the scatter symbols, they will trigger the free spin round. Players will receive 15 free spins that will be played automatically. During the free spin round, players will enjoy a unique feature from Microgaming called the multiplier trail. Each spin that does not produce a winning combination will increase the payout multiplier by one. This occurs until the player receives a winning spin. The maximum multiplier is ten times. Players can win as many as 6 million coins in this incredible free spin round.

The Grand Journey provides players with 30 paylines and up to 20 coins can be wagered on each. While the game does not support extensive coin sizes, players can toggle between $0.01 and $0.02 per pay line. The maximum bet per spin is $12.00 and the maximum payout will award 20,000 coins, or $400. While these limits are fairly low, players are counting on the free spin round to increase winnings. This game may not attract many high rollers, but it will definitely be a favourite for all other players in the online casino. With many opportunities to win, The Grand Journey can be a very rewarding and amusing casino game.

Battle for Olympus

Battle for Olympus is a new online slot by Cryptologic with five reels and 50 paylines. While there is no progressive jackpot available with this game, players will enjoy the many other features that can help to increase the bankroll.

Players will enjoy a wild symbol with a x3 multiplier, scatter pays, and a huge fixed jackpot that can award $20,000. This game suits the needs of every player in the casino since there is a wide range of betting options.

Players can select from 1 to 50 lines, and coin sizes from $0.01 all the way to $10, making the top wager worth $500 per spin. You could also play one line at one cent, for the minimum bet of $0.01 per spin, but I would suggest playing all 50 lines for maximum action.

The game is based on a Greek theme, which is very common for video slot games. The game features some of the most famous Greek figures from history, including Zeus, Hades, Athena, and Cerberus, along with Helios’ coach and Hermes’ helmet. All of the symbols are brightly coloured and are accompanied by some spectacular sound effects. In addition to these regular game symbols, players will see other special feature symbols in the game. These include Cerberus wild, Athena scatters and three bonus symbols – Battle, For, and Olympus.

Battle for Olympus has much to offer players of all levels. Beginners will enjoy the many paylines and the special features while high rollers will thoroughly enjoy the high betting limits on the game. There are no free spins offered in the game but there are many other opportunities to win a lot of money. The wild symbol can help to create many winning combinations by substituting for all symbols except the scatter and bonus symbols. In addition, all wins created with the wild symbol will pay out at three times the normal amount.

When the three bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5 to spell Battle for Olympus, players will be taken to the second screen bonus round. You then choose either Zeus or Hades as your warrior in the battle. You will be given a maximum of 5 attacks, with credits paid out for each one. A charge meter is displayed on the bottom, the object is to line up the tack with the warrior’s symbol perfectly, using the mouse or hitting the spacebar.

The payouts are pretty decent, especially with the x3 wild, and the bonus game is a lot of fun. Find the best casino to play this new slot on the Cryptologic Casinos page.

Horns and Halos

Horns and Halos is a new online slot machine by Cryptologic that is basically two slots in one, with an obvious good vs evil theme. This slot features 15 paylines on 6 reels and has a maximum fixed jackpot that will award players with 1000 coins, which could be worth as much as $20,000 with a maximum bet.

Players can only play a single coin on each payline but can increase the amount of their wager by selecting larger coin sizes, which range from $0.01 to $20.

That makes the minimum bet 15 cents per spin and the maximum bet allowed on the game $300 per spin. While this may seem unaffordable for many players, it is quite attractive to high rollers who are always looking for an exciting video slot with large betting limits.

The setup of this game is quite unique. It features a split screen where one side features the horns and has three reels. On the other side of the screen will be the halo game, also featuring three reels. Players will have to select which side of the game they wish to play and this can be changed at any time. The game has some added features that make winning more possible. With wild symbols, scatter pays and free spins, players will easily be able to earn some great payouts while playing this at Cryptologic Casinos.

Each side of the game will have its own wild symbol, which are the devil and the angel. These symbols will only appear on the middle reels and will substitute for all other symbols in the game with the exception of the scatter, which are the Heaven and Hell gate symbols. As players spin the reels, they will collect Heaven and Hell Gates. When 10 gates are collected on either side, players will be rewarded with 10 free spins. The free spin round will feature a multiplier, so it is quite possible to win a lot of money with this feature.

The game also offers players the option to use the expert mode. When this is selected, players will be able to select autoplay and they can select the number of spins that will be played automatically. The game can provide some great payouts, especially during the bonus round. I like the unique screen set up and the ability to change sides at any time.

Players should note that all Heaven and Hell gates are removed when you leave the game, that’s the only thing I don’t like about this slot. There are several screenshots below for you to preview the game.

Juju Jack

Juju Jack is a new slot machine that has been released by Cryptologic. The game features 25 lines of action on five reels. With a maximum jackpot win of $20,000, players will obviously have a nice opportunity for big wins.

For players who are playing on a budget, Juju Jack allows players to select from various coin sizes, ranging from $0.01 to $10 per payline. This makes the maximum bet worth $250 per spin.

The main symbols featured in the game include witch doctors, alligators, voodoo dolls, zombies and headless chickens. There are some special features that make the game more enjoyable and rewarding for players. These include expanding wild symbols, free spin rounds and an additional bonus game. The game also has random re-spins so players never know when they will receive additional payouts from a winning combination.

The expanding wild will be very beneficial when it comes to creating wining combinations. This symbol will appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the entire reel expands to become wild. When the Jack symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, the game will re-spin, allowing players another chance at winning. The re-spin feature may not only affect one reel. It is possible for multiple reels to re-spin, so players need to watch for this symbol and then enjoy any payouts it produces.

The voodoo dolls are the bonus symbols and will trigger a great bonus round. These symbols must appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 to activate the bonus round. This is a second screen bonus feature where players will have to stick objects on the voodoo doll. The rewards from the bonus round can include cash awards or free spins. The free spin round will award the player with 7 free spins and the feature can be retriggered.

Juju Jack is an exciting video slot game with a unique theme. With the chance to rack up credits with the expanding wild and the bonus round, Juju jack can definitely help the bankroll increase while providing players with a great form of entertainment. Cryptologic pulled out all stops with Juju Jack, offering players high payouts, great special features and a high fixed jackpot amount.
