Slot Machines News

 

you know how i usually “stumble” into English Harbour (and i know some of you like the sister site - Superslots because you want the same games, but more bonuses).  this time, i knew it was happening.  the summer is bringing a summer-long slots tournament with $700,000 in prize money!

 

that, is a ton of cash.  and of course it won’t all go to one person, but i’m up for just a share of it.  i don’t need the whole thing.  enough to take care of a house payment and put some lobsters on the grill would do me just fine

So . . . the “Summer Slots Series” comes in four parts.  The first part is a 20 day (June 10th – June 30th) tournament that takes place on the Prize is Right slot machine.  I have that one downloaded already, and have spent some time playing it, but i thought it would be a good time to write a review on it since it is the key to the cash during Part One of this Summer Slots Series.

 

the Right Prize is a video style slot that is loosely themed on a popular game show.  the features of the machine include . . .

SCATTER SYMBOLS - which isn’t really a surprise on a video slot.  the fun thing about them though is that they are the key to unlcoking a FREE SPINS session.  you’ll need to land three or more scatter symbols.  if you land two scatters, you’ll get credit for a winning combination.

WILD SYMBOL - there is a wild symbol on the reels.  it doesn’t act like a doubling wild, but it does fill in the blanks so to speak to help create winning combinations.

BONUS SYMBOL - is the fast track to unlocking a “pick’em” style bonus game.  You have the opportunity to choose a prize that is either displayed, or one hidden behind a door, depending on which version of the bonus game you unlock. 

it doesn’t really matter though, the idea is the same.  pick a prize from the screen, and you’ll find out what the value of that prize is in slot credits.  so i may pick the grandfather clock and find out it’s worth $25.  i can then try to upgrade my prize by returning it and picking a different prize from the screen.

the trick is, i may pick a prize of lesser value.  so, you really want to think about how much you “ought” to win by unlcoking the bonus game, and be willing to settle for a fair prize amount.  of course if you pick an inexpensive prize the first time out, there’s no reason to hold on to it when there’s a lot better to be had.

once you’ve chosen a prize that you’re satisfied with, keep it and return to the slot game.  it’s that simple!

Here’s a table of the Payouts for the Slot Tournament:

Â	1st	$50,000
Â	2nd	$15,000
Â	3rd	$5,000
Â	4th-5th	$2,500
Â	6th-10th	$1,000
Â	11th-20th	$500
Â	21st-50th	$250
Â	51st-100th	$100
Â	101st-200th	$50
Â	201st-1,500th	$25
Â	1501st-8,000th	$10

 

I’m figuring that i’m probably going to be lucky enough to land somewhere in the Top 8,000!! :)  The Summer Slots series is not a free event.  there is an entry fee, of $10.  but, considering they pay out the top 8,000 players a minimum of $10, it looks like it will be an event where everyone gets their money back.  so it’s about as close to being a freeroll as you can get!
