Slot Machines News

September is here, and so is another round of new slot machine releases from the folks at Microgaming. This month there are two new slots that will be added to the already huge microgaming stable of slot machines.

They are . . .

First Past the Post - a horse-racing themed slot. The “First Past the Post” machine is a “Video” style slot, with five reels, and healthy 25 paylines.

Like most modern slots, there is a Wild Symbol (the Horse symbol). And, like many video style slot machines, there is a Scatter Symbol, which in this case, is a Trophy Cup.

Players can form a winning combination by landing 2 or more Scatter symbols on any reels. They do not have to be found on the same payline (although when there’s 25 paylines, it’s difficult to avoid landing on a payline).

The game has a Free Spins round that can be unlocked. Landing the Wild Horse symbol on reels 2, 3, and 4 unlocks a round of free spins. The length of the round depends on what horse you choose in a bonus game.

There is also a Gamble Feature as part of First Past the Post.

The second slot machine that’s made its way to the Microgaming casinos this month is the Sir Winsalot machine.

The Sir Winsalot machine is also a “video” style slot machine. So, it has five reels, and this particular machine also has twenty paylines.

Where this game goes in a different direction is that it has two bonus games/features built into it. According to the release document (and I’m not really sure if they wanted me to see that or not - it has some intersting stuff in it) there is a bonus game geared towards American slot player tastes, and one geared towards Australian slot player tastes.

The “American” game involves choosing some objects from a table and finding an amount of bonus credits inside, much like the idols in the Tombraider slot.

The “Aussie” games involves unlocking a series of free spins.

I can’t say that i don’t enjoy both of those types of features. So to me, that makes a fine combination of features to find in one game.

Also, the specs document mentions a “Statistical Personality” of the machine. It records the payout rate at 95-96%, with a “Total Hit Frequency” of 41-42%. I like those numbers, so that makes this machine very welcome addition to the Microgaming slots lineup.

You can find both of these machines at . . .

The folks at Vegas Technolgy, the software company that provides games to the venerable English Harbour Casino as well as V.I.P. Slot, have released a new set of slot machines, four in all.

They are . . .

The Go For Gold machine is a Three Reel/Single payline machine, so it is their new addition to what a lot of players call a “classic slot” lineup. There is a Wild Symbol, and even a Bonus Game.

Players can wager up to 3 coins per spin, and the size of the coin can range from $.10 to $10, so the slot can entertain everyone from the high rollers to those who are just spending a little time at the reels for pure entertainment.

The second of the four new slot machines being released is the Naughty Ninjas slot. This is a 5 Reel “Video Slot” type of machine that has a whopping 25 different paylines. There are Scatter Symbols, and Wild symbols but no Bonus Game. The scatter symbols trigger a set of “respins”, so that’s a bit of a bonus, if you ask me.

That’s ok, there is a Jackpot attached to the machine, and it has a max value of $20,000, which is enough to add excitement to any machine.

The coin sizes range from $.01 (yes, a penny) to $10.

Another “Video Slot” being released is the Solomon’s Mines machine. It has the 5 reels that you expect, and a set of 25 paylines.

Like the Naughty Ninjas, the machine has a jackpot, but the Solomon’s Mines slot has a larger one. It stands as tall as $40,000! You can get a new Mercedes for that (well, I suppose you’d have to shop right, but it’s still a nice-sized stack of cash :))

It has the whole lineup of a Wild Symbol, a Scatter Symbol, and a Bonus Game.

The range of Coin sizes is just as wide as on the Ninjas machine, starting at a penny ($.01) and going as high as $10 per coin.

The last of the new slot machines from Vegas Technolgy this month is a version of the Red, White, and Win machine.

It is a basic Three Reel/Single payline game. There are no frills as far as Wild Symbols, or Scatter Symbols and Bonus Games. But, and this is a pretty good sized But - there is a Progressive Jackpot.

The coin size is fixed at $2.50, and you can play up to three coins. If you land the symbols that award the progressive jackpot, and decided to play one coin, you will win 5% of the jackpot total.

Playing two coins and landing those symbols will win you 10% of the jackpot. And of course, playing max coins (which on this machine is three), you will win the entire amount of the Jackpot.

Being a Progressive, the jackpot total increase every time anyone takes a spin on the Red, White, and Win machine at any of the Vegas Technology casinos.

All of the machines are available at . . .

I received the heads-up on this news from a pair of Cryptologic casinos - SCCasino and Omni Casino, two of the top casinos making use of the games from Cryptologic Software.

Cryptologic has released a new suite of slots games based on the legendary
Marvel Comics series including appearances by the Incredible Hulk, Spider Man, Wolverine, and Sub-Mariner. These new slots will be appearing at Cryptologic casinos in September 2008.

New Slot Marvel Machines - The Hulk, Spiderman, Sub-mariner, Wolverine

Here is how they describe the games . . .

In “the Incredible Hulk - Ultimate Revenge”, players now play against the
backdrop of a city where The Hulk has been battling SWAT teams and
military helicopters. Line up five Hulk symbols and win the top prize of
5,000 times the line bet, or double the prize amount whenever that symbol
helps to form a winning combination.

For the first time, players will be transported into Spider-Man’s NewYork
City realm to foil bad guys and rescue victims from danger as the web-
slinger achieves his ultimate mission: defeating Venom and saving Mary
Jane. With three unique feature sequences and big payouts - up to 5,000
times a line bet - rewards are around every corner. Players can also earn
up to 15 additional rounds of play and double prize values with an exciting
free-spin feature.

Wolverine, the Marvel Comics legend and The X-Men’s most dangerous
member, now stars in his own action-packed online slot game. Not
forgetting his love interest, Jean Grey; his razor-sharp adamantium claws,
and his arch-rival, the savage Sabretooth. A re-spin feature is awarded when
three or more Wolverine symbols appear anywhere. Three or more
Sabretooth symbols launch you into the Bonus Round, a pulse-pounding battle
in which you control Wolverine in a fight to the finish with Sabretooth.

One of the first Marvel heroes, Sub-Mariner, rises up from the depths
beneath the sea to star in his own action-packed slot game. Join and control
Sub-Mariner as he defends Atlantis against Torpedoes fired from Submarines
and Battleships. Wager from 1 cent to $5 per line as players match symbols
up to 25 lines.

Players will also benefit from the Marvel Jackpot feature. This consists of three separate jackpots, beginning at $50 (Hero Jackpot), $500 (Super Hero Jackpot) and $5,000 (Marvel Hero
Jackpot). Each jackpot rises as players continue to play, until they are awarded one of them. Even more amazingly, these prizes are totally random and can occur at any time.

both casinos run what looks to be a permantent monthly bonus. Both new and existing players at Omni Casino and SCCasino receive a $100 slots bonus every month.

Welcome to the upcoming News section here at Onlineslotplayer.com. it seems that you’ve caught me with paintbrush in hand.

I’m still getting the finishing touches in place, and will be “presentable” later this evening!

Thanks so much for your patience,
