Reach for the Sky in Ticket to the Stars Slot by Quickspin

0
0

Ticket to the Stars Slot PlaytableExploration of the universe has been a curiosity we’ve entertained for centuries – even before we could take to the skies, we wanted to know what was out there. Since launching into air travel, countless individuals have taken the leap into the dark recesses of space, making discoveries that have shaped our history, science, and beyond. For those left behind on earth, there’s been little for us to do… or so that was the case, until now.

Ticket to the Stars is an upcoming game from Quickspin, due for release early February. This 25 winlines and 5 reels game is decorated with postmodern aesthetics, harking back to the cartoon renderings of Meet the Jepsons. Unlike with us mere earthlings, confined to life only on this planet, this space age slot machine takes place in a universe where space travel for everyone is a luxury commodity. You can travel from planet to planet to experience the holiday of a lifetime.

Purchasing your ticket couldn’t be simpler, as this Quickspin pokie adheres to the same rules that the brand’s other products do as well: a wager priced between 0.25 and 100 credits will secure your place. From then onwards, the reels can open up in a range of ways, with the winlines able to unlock several unique bonus features. Included among the features are free spins and multipliers – the staple mechanics of any good one armed bandit.

Whenever you create a winning combination, the Swooping Reels will kick in. This is an exclusive design trait, but one that’s based on the cascading reels you’ve likely seen in other games previously. All you need to do is keep lining up the wins and the winning symbols will disappear off of the screen, while the non-winning ones stay in place. This mechanic allows for players to bag some truly out of this world wins, sometimes as much as x10,000 your bet. Ticket to the Stars is all about those big money gains, as its 96.52% RTP highlights – the game wants you to win, the bigger the better.

Don’t be fooled into a false sense of security though, while the game has a high return to player rate, this is still a high variance playthrough. Basic combos of the gemstones isn’t going to cut it, for the real victories you need to be bagging five of a kind of the unique symbols, like the flight attendant, pilot, etc. It would also serve you well to match up the golden wild of the game, as substituting wilds can generate juicier rewards. Watch the wild stack up across the reels for that ultimate mile high rush.

The final piece of the puzzle is the free spins round, in which you can win up to 25 waves of free gaming. The unlimited multipliers you can gain throughout the base game still apply here, meaning that increase every third win is going to beef up your returns. Not forgetting that you can also gain extra spins as you play. If a player is going to win the maximum amount possible, this is likely where they’ll do it!

Playable on both mobile and desktop devices, users will soon be able to experience space travel like never before. Should you need a slice of the action before the release date, Quickspin has a gameplay trailer you can access via their homepage. Are you ready for some exploration? Quickspin certainly hopes so!

New Slots for March 2019

The winter snow is finally melting away! After a few cold months, and a bit of extra weight from all the holidays, it is finally time to get out and enjoy the sun. And while trees and flowers bloom outside, a fresh batch of games have come to accompany the spring time, luring you back indoors with the hopes of that one, big win that will change your life. With a wide variety of different theme, the new releases for March 2019 are looking quite diverse. Let us see what fun games await us.

Carnaval Forever by Betsoft

Carnaval Forever SlotJust in time for the actual festival happening, we have Betsoft’s latest release. Carnaval Forever is a video slot set around the fun and enjoyable Brazilian carnival, and is the country’s most famous holiday. The game has a gorgeous looking background image, while the reels show off the various dancers that perform during the carnival, and their extravagant costumes. The colourful reels host 20 fixed paylines, granting wins when three or more identical symbols are collected from left to right, going through one of the active paylines. Carnaval Forever has yet to release, but once it launches, we will update this section with special features and gameplay details.

Hot Hot Fruit by Habanero

If you are feeling a bit more nostalgic, and want a title that will let you go back to the glory days of fruit machines, Habanero has you covered. Hot Hot Fruit is played on a 5×3 playing field, with double (or triple) symbols, and a free spins bonus with sticky icons. But unlike old physical machines, this slot looks gorgeous, with smooth reel-spin animations and top notch, if simplistic graphics. On the reels, you will find watermelons, oranges, plums, bars and lucky sevens, all of which reward pays by collecting three or more of the same symbol, from left to right, following one of the fifteen paylines. The word Wild on a purple or red background are the Wild icon.

The largest win you can land is worth 1666.67x your total bet. At random times, symbols will transform and become icons, counting for two symbols while occupying a single reel. The lucky seven icon can become a triple version of itself, and that is something no other symbol can do. Three or more Wilds appearing from left to right or right to left grant six free spins, or twelve if you get three or more Wilds from left to right and right to left. Any icons with a winning combination will lock for the remaining free spins, and these locked symbols can become upgraded to be double or triple icons.

The Fortune Pig by iSoftBet

The Fortune Pig Slot2019 marks the Year of the Pig on the Chinese calendar, and iSoftBet’s developers were hard at work to give fans of Oriental themed games something to look forward to. The Fortune Pig offers a 5×3 board, with free spins or cash re-spin special features available to gamblers. You can tell the artists spent a fair bit of time making it look cool, with striking visuals full of red and gold, and a variety of different animations to keep us engaged. Playing card royals, golden coins, trees, drums and golden lions fill the reels, and reward pays across the 25 fixed paylines. The golden dragon is a Scatter, red money bags are a Bonus icon, while a golden pig head is a Wild, and can substitute for all symbols except for Scatters and Bonus.

Try The Fortune Pig Slot For Free!

The ultimate jackpot is 801x your stake. When five or more money bags appear on the playing field, you get three re-spins. When a money bag lands, it grants the cash prize written on top of it, resets the number of re-spins to three, and stays locked in place. However, if the Fortune Pig appears during this bonus, they will gather all Money Bags, allowing you to collect more. Players can also win free spins by collecting Scatters on the first, third and fifth reel at the same time. During extra turns, up to five reels can sync up and reveal the same symbols.

The Grand by Quickspin

The Grand Slot by QuickspinMake a return to the 1920’s with Quickspin’s latest release, the Grand. Its theme embraces the Art Deco art-style that was quite popular during those years, and while we have a cool, colorful background image, the symbols themselves are somewhat boring. While the artists did their best to make them look different, their success was a mixed bag. It has a unique reel set-up, as the title is played on a 3-3-4-4-5 board with 214 paylines.

There are five bonuses total, three of which are triggered during normal gameplay. Up to six reels can sync up, showing the same symbols to guarantee a winning combination. Random Wilds will create between four to eight Wilds. Nudge Reels will nudge between one to three different reels by one position up and down to enhance your win. These three random special features can be combined with enough luck. There is also a free spins bonus, triggered when three, four, five or six Scatters appear, and award six, nine, twelve or fifteen extra turns. Finally, find three Bonus symbols on the third, fourth and fifth reels, that will reward up to three free spins with one of the random bonuses active.

Lucky Blackjack by Yggdrasil Gaming

Lucky BlackjackWhile Yggdrasil is mostly known for their slots, they occasionally branch out into other gambling activities. So now, we have an Irish themed blackjack game that allows up to three players to go at once against a cute blonde. The basics of blackjack are always the same – try to get to 21, or as close as possible, without going over that magical number. Get the dealer to go over or to match your card value, and you win. Make use of the Double function, that will only grant you one more card, and doubles your bet – but also doubles your win if you are successful.

If your first two cards are equal to 20, you win the Lucky Ladies bonus, that pays maximum 100x. There is also the Lucky Lucky special feature, that pays when the gamblers’ first two cards, plus the dealer’s UP card, form a total of 19, 20, or 21. If a specific suit of cards, or a combination of cards appears, the pay they award increase.

Best new Pragmatic Play Slots in March 2019

When spring-time rolls around, and the snow starts to melt, our moods immediately shoots up. Not just because the cold is over, but because it also means a new batch of games is soon here! As always, Pragmatic Play love to give us a few early treats! So today, we will take a look at three Pragmatic Play slots that you can play early!

Wild Pixies

Wild PixiesThe first one we will look at is Wild Pixies. It is set in a deep, mysterious forest, full of magic and mystery. You can notice pixies slowly flying by the trees, while the foliage slowly twists along with the wind. The screen transition into the special feature is beautiful, as are all the pixie symbol animations!

Available icons are split into higher and lower paying tiers. Lower paying symbols include playing card icons – 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. Higher paying icons are four different pixies, with different hair colours and outfits. Special symbols include a golden butterfly Wild and a gemstone Scatter.

Collect three Scatters on the first, third and fifth reel to activate the ‘Roaming Wilds Free Spins feature’. If a player is missing a single Scatter to trigger the bonus turns, a Scatter Nudge may push a gemstone into the correct position.

When the special feature fires, gamblers start with 8 free spins. Above the reels, three pairs of empty spaces appear. These are filled each time a natural Wild lands on the playing field during the free spins.

When each pair is completed, it creates two sticky, moving Wilds. These Wilds will remain on the reels until the bonus ends, but will change positions every turn. With three pairs, a maximum of six roaming Wilds can be present on the reels.

Furthermore, each time a pair of empty spaces is filled up, two additional free spins are awarded.

Wild Pixies has a medium-high variance and an RTP of 96.5%. The jackpot is worth 3500x your total stake. To get it, you would have to get a five-of-a-kind win on each free spin.

Pirate Gold

Pirate GoldThe next Pragmatic Play offering is Pirate Gold. Join an expedition of rowdy buccaneers who plan to sail the seas and make themselves rich! This may be one of the best looking games the developer has made to date.

Gorgeous sun-rays piercing the cloudy sky, while said clouds race off into the distance. The water’s movement is quite realistic, and causes the ships to move a little. All the while, the village is shrouded in fog, and is just waking up to a cool morning. It certainly feels like the start of an adventure to us!

On the reels, you will find various coins, a hook-hand, a spyglass, and a treasure map. Higher paying icons include a mighty ship, a colourful parrot, as well as a female and male pirate. A treasure chest bursting full of loot is the Wild. A glowing compass is the Scatters, and is used to activate the special feature.

Collect three Scatters on the second, third and fourth reel at the same time to win 10 free spins. While the bonus is active, the male and female pirate transform into Wilds.

If three Scatters land on the playing field during the free turns, ten more extra spins are granted. There is no upper limit on how many times you can re-trigger the special feature in this way.

Occasionally, brown money bags may appear on the playing field. Each one can appear with a pre-selected amount of money, or with the value of the minor and major fixed jackpots. When eight or more appear on the board at the same time, they activate the Lucky Treasure Bag bonus.

During this special feature, all normal icons disappear from the playing field. Instead, only money bags, re-trigger and multiplier symbols, as well as blank spaces remain. Players get three re-spins, and the counter resets each time another money bag lands on the reels.

The multiplier symbol is a green bag. It applies a multiplier up to 5x to the total multiplier at the end of the round. When the round ends, all pays are multiplied by the total multiplier.

A chest with a golden skull is the retrigger bonus. Picking it up guarantees another re-spins bonus will be played after the initial one finishes.

This continues until no more re-spins remain, or all positions on the board have a money bag.

Pirate Gold is a highly volatile title with an RTP of 96.5%. The developers boast the maximum win of 32,270x your total stake.

Sweet Bonanza

Sweet BonanzaThe last game we will be taking a look at today is perfect for gamblers with a sweet tooth! Say hello to Sweet Bonanza, set in a magical candy-land where the background is just as delicious as the wins!

Ground made out of cotton candy and ice-cream mountains dominate the landscape. You do have some useful landmarks, like the donut hill, or the hard candy shell in the distance! All the while, the clouds lazily fly past this wonderland, not daring to ruin paradise by raining.

After we finished trying to lick our screen for goodies, we discovered there were actual reels and symbols in this title. Icons are split into fruits and candies. Fruits include bananas, grapes, watermelons, plums and apples. Candies include various hard candies with different shapes and colours. A large pink lollipop is the Scatter, and is used to activate free spins.

Sweet Bonanza is slightly different in gameplay from the standard slot. The first difference you will notice is a larger playing field, and the lack of paylines. Instead, wins are granted from –any- position, so long as there are eight or more identical symbols present.

Gamblers will have a choice to pick between a 20x or 25x bet multiplier. The 20x bet allows you to purchase a free spins round for the price of 100x your total stake. Enabling the 25x bet multiplier disables the ability to buy free spins outright, but doubles the chances of them landing naturally.

After each win, all symbols that were part of that winning combination disappear. Remaining icons will fall to the bottom, while empty positions are replaced with new symbols landing from above. Tumbling continues until no more wins can be granted.

Four or more Scatters landing anywhere rewards 10 free spins. If three or more Scatters appear while the extra turns are being played, five more are granted to the player.

A multi-coloured bomb landing anywhere can reward a multiplier between 2x to 100x. All multipliers are added together at the end of each tumble, and then applied to any wins. These can only appear while free spins are being played.

Sweet Bonanza has a medium-high volatility, and an RTP of 96.52%. The largest win this sweet slot can give you is worth 21,100x your total bet.

Top New Slots for April 2019

Online slot developers are relentlessly dishing out new titles and treating us to games equally impressive in terms of visual appearance, innovative features and win potential. Let’s see new slots for April .

Dr Fortuno (Yggdrasil Gaming)

Dr FortunoEnter a magical world created by the artists of a travelling carnival and meet the mysterious ringmaster able to perform all sorts of tricks. Yggdrasil’s upcoming release not only delivers superb visuals and immersive audio, it also features the first ever cross-vertical jackpot that enables players to collect massive amounts across a host of games.

As reels begin to spin, you’ll be chasing high-value Siamese Night Twins, the clown Fire Head and the Water Witch until 3 bonus symbols appear simultaneously and launch a Free Spins bonus round. You’ll then enter a raffle and get to draw one or more extras, thus benefiting from the removal of all low value icons, a x2 multiplier applied to all wins, additional Wild symbols added to the reels, extra spins on top of those already won, a high value icon becoming a standard Wild, or win both ways activated.

Dr Fortuno is a Nudging Wild and has the power to fill the entire reel with substitutes. Every win he contributes to gets you a spin on the Wheel of Fortuno. Depending on where the pointer stops, you’ll be awarded a multiplier of x2-x5, a coin win, 2 additional spins, the jackpot segment added to the wheel, or the big jackpot prize.

Agent Jane Blonde Returns (Microgaming)

We first had the opportunity to meet the audacious Jane back in 2005 and were not sure if the developer would ever let us accompany her on another action-packed mission. With the help of Stormcraft Studios, Microgaming’s celebrated secret agent now returns to penetrate a mysterious organization.

She’ll pull four masterful disguises able to deliver high-value wins and act as a Wild icon willing to stack up and thus help enhance the winning combos. Two Scatters will trigger the Respin feature and then transform into locked Wilds, offering players a chance to fill all reels with substitute icons during consecutive respins. This beautifully executed video slot comes complete with neon visuals and a retro soundtrack which adds to suspense at critical moments.

Durian Dynamite (Quickspin)

Durian DynamiteQuickspin may have populated the grid with symbols typical for classic slots but that doesn’t mean its new Durian Dynamite is an ordinary fruit game – and not only because it celebrates a particularly smelly fruit known as Durian. Wild Durian landing on the middle Dynamite Reel becomes a Dynamite Wild, triggers the feature and tasks you with launching other Wilds from your supply onto the reel area. Should one hit another of its kind located on reel 3, they’ll both explode and each will split into two substitutes. If a split Wild lands on another Dynamite Wild, the latter will also explode and split into two. The feature plays as long as chain reaction continues or until you exhaust your supply or Wilds.

Landing 3 Bonus Scatter symbols launches 6 free spins and offers players a chance to win additional ones via the Bonus Picker. Bonus Picker jar is used to collect upgrades one can use while spinning on the house and these upgrades come in the form of additional spins, Durian Ammo (up to 2 additional Durians for the Dynamite Wild feature) and an increased number of Dynamite Reels active during the bonus game. Durian Dynamite is Quickspin’s first 3D rendered game and the developer promises it will leave us breathless.

Elk Studios – Hit It Big

The Elk Studios team is getting ready to welcome players to a retro game show delivered via a 5-reel, 5-payline classic-looking slot with complex features. The game plays in 3 modes – Normal, Bonus and Hit it Big mode. Normal mode contains reels and feature buttons positioned above and below the reels. If those on top and below one of the reels happen to display the same feature once the spinning stops, the corresponding feature is activated. You’ll consequently benefit from a multiplier of x2-x50, a respin, stacked Wilds or locked Wilds.

Three Bonus symbols trigger the bonus game played on a 5×5 grid of screens above the reels, with each screen displaying an image, a multiplier, a Bandit or an arrow which can send you to the next level or back to the previous one. The highest level awards a spin able to result in a payout worth up to 1,000x your bet. A successful contestant stands to pocket as much as 250,000 coins.

Midas Golden Touch (Thunderkick)

Midas Golden TouchThunderkick promises that all we touch will turn into gold and it may well be the case when playing this new slot with double-stacked symbols, multiplier Wilds, and a bonus game with sticky respins. Wilds will multiply any payout, the size of the boost depending on their number and potentially delivering as much as 1,200x bet per line.

Scattered pillars trigger free games with several enhancements. A Wild icon is added to the reels on every spin and winning symbols are locked while other positions re-spin. Respins will continue until they stop improving the existing winning combo, and if you’re lucky, they could deliver a win worth more than 10,000x your bet. Will you manage to find your fortune in the castle of King Midas? We’ll soon find out.

Best New Slots for May 2019

Passionate slot players and those who’ve been around online casinos for a long time are, by now, capable of spotting a winner with no more than a single glance, even before its official release. Traditionally, this is the busiest time of the season and software providers all over the world are competing for a title of the most innovative and productive supplier, especially with EGR 2019 Awards ahead. As always, players will have the last word, and at the moment, the games listed below seem like perfect candidates for the best new slots for May 2019.

iSoftbet – Pinata Fiesta

Pinata FiestaPinata Fiesta is a medium volatility slot played on 5×3 reel grid across 20 fixed paylines, and with €0.20 – €20 betting range. Known for vibrating colours and sharp visuals, iSoftBet has not abandoned their recognizable style and Pinata Fiesta is exactly what one might expect from a video slot released by this developer – loud, bubbly, and packed with bonus features.

Apart from the Free Spins awarded when the combination of three Scatter symbols land on the reels, the players will get to smash the Pinata on any random base game spin, unlocking one of the following features:

  • Mega Spinata with mega icons on reels 1 – 3
  • Grande reels, during which any number of reels can become Wild
  • Fiesta Frenzy, which turns a low-value icon (A, K, Q, J, and 10) into a high paying symbol
  • Popping Wilds, where floating balloons will pop and reveal extra Wilds

The special features can also be activated during the bonus rounds, and once the free spins session is completed, the players can win more spins by picking one of the three Pinatas on the screen.

Pragmatic Play – 5 Lions Gold

5 Lions GoldAfter a sparkling performance of 5 Lions launched in 2018, Pragmatic Play is releasing a golden edition approximately one year later, featuring the same 5×3 and 243-payline structure.

While the outline of the game remains the same, the golden version is upgraded, featuring Golden Reels Jackpot and a much higher betting potential – €1,215 instead of €250 offered in 5 Lions.

Free Spins are triggered when a combination of 3 Yin and Yang symbols lands on the reels 2 – 4. Before the session begins, the players will have 7 options to choose from:

  • 24 Free Spins with x2, x3, and x5 multipliers
  • 18 Free Spins with x3, x5, and x8 multipliers
  • 15 Free Spins with x5, x8, and x10 multipliers
  • 12 Free Spins with x8, x10, and x15 multiplier
  • 9 Free Spins with x10, x15, and x30 multiplier
  • 6 Free Spins with x15, x30, x40 multiplier
  • Mystery – with a random multiplier and the number of bonus round selected from one of the options described above.

The multipliers will be applied to any winning combination that contains the wild icon and the Free Spins can be re-triggered if a new Scatter combination is formed on the reels.

Players will be able to hit one of the jackpots during both the base games and the free rounds. The value of the Golden Reel Jackpot is fixed, and, depending on the number of reels that turn gold, the following bet multipliers can be applied to one’s stake:

  • 5 golden reels – x2,000 player’s bet (Grand Jackpot)
  • 4 golden reels – x250 player’s bet (Major Jackpot)
  • 3 golden reels – x15 player’s bet (Minor Jackpot)

Jackpots can also be won during the Jackpot Bonus Game, where 3 matching symbols award the corresponding prize.

Red Tiger Gaming – Devil’s Number

Devils NumberInspired by the occult science, Devil’s Number is not for the faint of heart or those who would rather not see the infamous number across their gaming screens. The payout potential, on the other hand, will make you less apprehensive, as the game can multiply the player’s bet by x2,500 – with up to €40 max bet, the max win can buy you plenty of souls…

The unique theme of the game is its strongest feature, since not too many developers are keen to dabble with the dark forces. Red Tiger seems to be targeting the demographic that’s commonly overlooked for the sake of players who prefer more digestible themes. It remains to be seen if this trend will catch on – so far, horror and doom themes have been successfully exploited by the software developers, but Devil’s Number is among the more explicit editions.

To help you win, the developer introduced 3 bonus features:

  • Upgrade – the Mark of the Beast will randomly upgrade a high-value symbol that forms a winning combination
  • Remove – the Mark of the Beats icons will eliminate the low-paying icon from a winning string, triggering the cascading reels
  • Free Spins – activated when 3 Scatter icons land on reels 2 – 4. The session starts with 12 bonus rounds, and 6 more will be awarded if a new combination of Scatters land while the free spins are in progress.

The Upgrade and Remove features can be initiated during the bonus rounds as well.

Thunderkick – Dragon Horn

Dragon HornDragon Horn slot will be officially released on May 8, but the features seem quite promising, especially if you are into the whole “epic fantasy” rave. The timing could not have been better, since the first episode of the last Game of Thrones season is due any day now, which means that the theme is about to be revived once again.

At the moment, the developer is quite stingy with the details (which is understandable) but they did reveal a few things – the game has 243 paylines, high variance, and 5 progress levels with knights, orcs, and elves as the main symbols.

Best New Pragmatic Play Slots in May 2019

If you think that Pragmatic Play will be slowing down any time soon, you got another thing coming. The developer is far from being done for the season, and two new slots are coming our way – Triple Jokers and 5 Lions Gold. Looking back, it seems that the provider’s creative department has not had a moment of rest in the past few months. 2018 ended with the bonus-packed Leprechaun Carol while 2019 has started full steam ahead, leaving a trail of 10 slots, including Caishen’s Cash, The Dog House, and Egyptian Fortunes – all deemed as games with the highest potential and the best new Pragmatic Play slots for May 2019.

Caishen’s Cash

Caishen's CashCaishen’s Cash is announced for May 14, however, the 2017 edition, Caishen’s Gold, has already set the standards high, thanks to the high RTP rate, medium volatility, and 380,000 coins payout potential. Although the game is yet to be officially released, demo option is available, and judging by the test run, the 2019 sequel has all the potential to exceed its predecessor.

The structure is the same – 5×3 reel grid and 243 paylines, with a somewhat lower return to the player percentage (96.50% as opposed to 97.08% generated by Caishen’s Gold). There are four jackpots, each with a fixed multiplying value revealed in the bonus game:

  • Grand – x1,000 player’s bet
  • Major – x100 total bet
  • Minor – x50 total bet
  • Mini – x25 total bet

The Jackpot Bonus is randomly triggered when the Wild icon lands on the reels 2, 3 and 4, activating a picking game during which the first 3 matched icons determine which of the jackpots will be won.

A combination of 6 or more Money icons will present the players with a choice between Free Spins or the re-triggerable Money Respin bonus. Each of the two options has its own advantages. Free Spins, for example, are played with just the high-value symbols, while the Money Respins are played on the alternate set of reels featuring Gold, Red, and Green Money icons only.

The Dog House

The Dog HouseEven if you considered yourself a cat person, you will not be able to resist these pups’ loving eyes – especially with a payout potential of x6,500 your stake. On a pressed bet, the total win could amount to $650,000 which is enough to make this slot a gambler’s best friend.

Played on 5×3 reel grid and 20-paylines, The Dog House introduces random multipliers awarded when Wild symbols land on the same reel (2, 3 or 4). The Dog House Wilds can substitute all icons except for the Bonus Paw symbol, multiplying the value of all the combinations they complete. If more than one Wild form the winning string, the multiplying values will be added together.

The Paw symbol is limited to reels 1, 3, and 5. Three of these icons initiate Free Spins, the number of which is determined by a spin on the 3×3 grid. The value on all three lines will be added, providing the player with the final count of extra rounds. While the spins are in progress, the Wild icons that appear on the screen will remain locked on their landing positions. Just like in the base game, any winning combinations that contain a Wild will be multiplied by a random value. The Paw cannot appear while the Free Spins are active, which means that this feature cannot be re-activated.

Egyptian Fortunes

Those of you old enough to remember a Hollywood classic, The Ten Commandments, will without a doubt notice the startling resemblance between Egyptian Fortune’s featuring character and Yul Brunner’s Ramesses II. Egyptian Fortunes slot is a typical representative of its genre, with Ancient Egyptian deities as the high-value icons, the Two-Headed Serpent as the Wild, and the Pyramid with the Rising Sun as the Bonus icon.

When combined in a certain way, the Pharaoh and other symbols can produce the Energy Spins, which are awarded on top of the payout. The Energy Spins are equivalent to the Free Spins and the players will not be required to submit any bets for as long as the session is active. New rounds can be won while the feature is active, and the players will even be able to trigger the Free Spins Feature while the Energy rounds are running. All winnings generated from the Energy session are added together and paid when the rounds are completed.

Bonus symbol lands on reels 1, 3 and 5. In addition to generating x1 of the total player’s bet, Pyramid also unlocks the Free Spins feature with 6 extra rounds. The entire session is played with only 3 high-paying icons, randomly selected before the spins are initiated. The Bonus and the Wild icons are, of course except, but the latter can still appear on reels 2 and 4. Energy Spins cannot be triggered during the Free Spins nor can the players unlock additional Free Spins while the feature is in progress.

Hail the Mountain King in Quickspin’s Latest Epic Fantasy Release

0
0

Hall of the Mountain KingWith the Game of Thrones season’s finale and the bitter taste of the series ending slowly creeping upon us, we will need every epic fantasy supplement that we can find to fill in the void. Quickspin’s latest slot release, Hall of the Mountain King, could not have come at the better time; thanks to the slot’s mythical elements, it will without a doubt draw a lot of attention from the fans of the genre and provoke the interest of those who are primarily focused on the payout potential.

The visuals features are fully in line with the theme, almost exceeding the quality standards of the developer, known for producing games with exceptional graphics and storylines. Played across 5×3 reel grid and 20 fixed paylines, the slot takes the player inside the fantasy world governed by the infamous King of Trolls, whose underground chambers hide vast treasures…

To claim your share of the King’s riches, the players will need to select the bet level from the Total Bet menu, ranging from €0.20 to €100 per spin or €0.01- €5.00 per line. The Auto Play feature is available, enabling the players to set in motion up to 1,000 continuous spins, that can be stopped manually or by selecting the loss/win limit which will stop the Auto mode once achieved. If you would like to increase the game speed, just click on the double-arrow tab (placed directly under the Auto Play button), and the duration of the spin will be cut in half.

The combination of symbols become payable when at least three icons land on the connecting reel positions, from left to right. The Wild icon and the Trolls are the highest paying icons, especially the King, which can generate up to €4,000 for a combination of 5 matching symbols. Wild icons have the same payout potential, along with the added value of activating the multipliers in both the base game and the Free Spins sessions. The expected return to the player is 96.29% and the slot produces high volatility.

The progressive multiplier is probably the strongest suit of Hall of the Mountain King slot, reaching up to x15 player’s bet during the Free Spins. The Multiplier Meter is activated every time a Wild icon lands on the reels, increasing the multiplying value for every Wild found on the grid at the same time. If the spin results in a win, the relevant multiplier, which can reach up to x5 will be applied to the payout. As mentioned, the multiplying value is even higher in the bonus rounds, where a win will add a higher-level multiplier to the meter.

Triggered by the combination of three Hammer icons, Free Spins have three different stages, each with a unique feature. In Stages 1 & 2, the Troll King eliminates the bottom level multiplier and replaces it with a more valuable one after every winning spin, while the final Stage generates additional Wild icons, improving your payout odds:
  • Stage 1: low-value icons are substituted with a high-paying symbol
  • Stage 2: Whirling Wilds are collected
  • Stage 3: Whirling Wilds from the previous stage are transformed into Wilds

Although announced for May 14, Hall of the Mountain King can be tested at the developer’s official website (in demo-play mode). The slot is fully compatible with mobile devices and you will be able to enjoy it on the go without compromising the game’s functionality or visual features.

The Newest Microgaming Slots in May 2019

Microgaming slots is coming on strong this season, having launched close to a dozen games since the year started. Two of the company’s latest releases, Space Spins and Rockabilly Wolves, honour the retro trends established in some of the developer’s last year editions, with a strong emphasis to the kind of aesthetics that was popular back in the “good old days”.

On the other hand, Lara Croft Temples and Tombs slot breaks the cycle of nostalgia for days long gone, which seems to have been an underlying theme in the majority of Microgaming’s games since 2018. The adventure-themed slot that everyone is so eagerly awaiting is yet to see the light of day, however, some of the information leaked, raising the expectations even higher.

Space Spins

Space SpinsThis slot is all about the golden days of the arcade, bringing back to life one of the most popular games of all times – Space Invaders. Even if you are too young to remember the original release, you have, beyond all doubts, already played hundreds of games inspired by this timeless classic, whether you know it or not.

Space Spins is one of many (welcomed) replicas of the game, created in cooperation with Electric Elephant Games and played in 5×5 reel grid across 40 paylines. The prolonged session will produce 95% return to the player percentage rate, on medium volatility gameplay. The bets are adjusted manually, ranging from €0.20 to €100 per spin.

Space Spins slot symbols are quite unique, especially three different types of Wild icons, which can expand in all directions:

  • Space Shuttle or the Rocket Wild – expands from top to bottom;
  • Purple Shooting Star Wild – expands horizontally, left to right;
  • Sunburst Wild – expands across all connecting positions and in all directions;

Three Free Spins symbols will activate up to 8 extra rounds, during which all the Wild icons that land on the reels stick to their landing spot and remain locked until the end of the feature.

Rockabilly Wolves

Another retro edition, this time inspired by the fabulous 50s – especially the early stages of rock and roll which spread from the US south to all 4 corners of the world. Rockabilly soon became a way of life, expressing rebellion against the conservative past, declared through provocative dancing, greasy hairstyles, and more important than all, distinctive music – just the kind that you can hear while spinning the Rockabilly Wolves.

The slot is played on a 5-reel grid with 20 paylines, producing 96.03% RTP on an average gameplay session. Thanks to the progressive multipliers, the game produces the best results when played on higher bets, however, one must be mindful of the Rockabilly Wolves’ high volatility.

Just like Space Spins, Rockabilly Wolves introduces 3 Wild icons, each with a different quality:
  • Regular Wild – lands during the base game only and replaces other icons;
  • Sticky Wild – appears on any position during Free Spins and remains on the landing spot until the feature ends;
  • Multiplier Sticky Wild – also limited to the Free Spins session, this icon sticks to its landing position and increases the multiplying value;

The bonus rounds are initiated when at least 3 Free Spins symbols form a combination across reels 2, 3, and 4. This will trigger 9 extra spins with the x2 multiplier that’s upgraded every time a Multiplier Sticky Wild appears.

Two Free Spins icons will trigger the Re-spin feature, setting one reel into motion and locking the rest of the columns.

Lara Croft Temples and Tombs

Lara Croft Temples and TombsThe last game on our list is Lara Croft Temples and Tombs, a promising 243-payline release which should be officially released any day now. This is not the first Microgaming’s slot to feature Lara Croft and her adventures; the company already released Tomb Rider in October 2004 and Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword in 2008.

Obviously, the latest edition has a much more complex and sophisticated interface, introducing Rolling Reels, collectible Wilds, Multiplier Trail, and a guaranteed win on the Jackpot Wheel, which can trigger Grand, Major, or Minor jackpots. The RTP rate or the return of an average betting unit is 96.05%, and the game delivers medium volatility sessions, which makes it suitable to wider demographics.

Everything You Can Learn from the Highest Payout Online Casinos (Australia)

When a player chooses an online casino where he wants to start his gambling activity for real money, he needs to check many things before starting the game and even better before registering. In addition to checking the casino’s reliability, legality, and availability, you need to pay significant attention to the information about payments because you must understand what to expect when you win, what possible payment methods are available, and how fast they are. After all, if you do not think about this in advance, you can choose a casino from which you will wait for your payment for months, which, of course, is not very encouraging.

Here you can see what fast payment methods are available:

  • E-wallets (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller);
  • Bitcoins & Cryptocurrency;
  • Bank cards (Credit or Debit).

If your choice is between casinos with fast payouts or not, especially in Australia, then, of course, you need to choose the first ones, which can provide you with your winnings in a matter of hours, or, depending on the number of winnings, within a few days, but no longer.

There are many highest payout online casinos Australia that easily offer their players’ fast payout methods and Best Online Pokies for all tastes. It is worth noting that there are casinos that offer online pokies Australia free bonus no deposit, which means that a player can receive a welcome bonus for playing real money online pokies without making any first deposit. Do not forget about the existence of online pokies with free spins or free slots, in which a player can check the game, try out his gaming skills without any money investment. Often on such sites, no download, no registration required, you can play completely without restrictions. And finally, do not neglect online pokies reviews, which contain a lot of useful information.

Payout Percentages Work

The well-known concept of the payout percentage in slot machines is nothing more than the return of the average amount of money to the player in comparison with his original bet as a win. You need to understand that this feature cannot guarantee the player full payment regardless of how many game sessions he goes through. Still, there is an understanding that the more spins occur, the more chances it will approach the existing percentage of payments.

The payout is calculated as follows: with a $ 100 bet and a slot payout percentage of 95%, the player can get back the $ 95 winnings.

The casino can control the percentage of payments in a particular slot and set its ratio when it appears on the site. Still, the casino has no right to change this indicator. It is also worth noting that legal casinos receive regular tests from special independent gambling services.

To get high wins, it is better to observe the following points:

  • Play only in proven legal online casinos.
  • Choose slots with the highest payout percentages, but you shouldn’t focus solely on this feature.
  • Understand that the more spins you make, the more chances you have for a big return.

Don’t ignore Variance in Slots

Variance in slot machines shows the variability of the winning wins, it is thanks to it that you can break a big win by betting just a few pounds, but at the same time, you can place medium or large bets and immediately lose them.

There are three types of variance in slots:

  • High (rare impressive wins).
  • Low (brings frequent small wins).
  • Medium (regular wins with medium and sometimes high payouts).

high low wins

As you can see from the above information, to get the biggest jackpots, you need to choose slots with high variance, but be prepared for long sessions with droughts. Or, if you want to have more stability in the drop-down wins, choose medium or low variance. Whatever your choice, never forget about the conscious play, do not spend more than you can afford.

Return-to-Player (RTP) is a Friend of Yours

When choosing a slot machine in an online casino, you should pay special attention to the analysis of its main characteristics. The player will provide himself with more advantageous positions in the game and understand whether to place small but more often or rare large bets.

In each game, there is such an indicator as Return to Player. It is briefly used as RTP. This digital function is shown as a percentage and is explained as the average amount of money returned to the player, compared to the amount he bet earlier. You need to understand that RTP cannot guarantee a full payout regardless of the number of gaming sessions, but the more spins, the more chances for an impressive payout. Logically, it would be best if you choose slot machines with the highest RTP.

To find worthy slots with the opportunity to win impressive sums, you can resort to several simple tricks:

  1. Browse various topics on the Internet, where you can see information about gaming sessions of experienced players who share the slots they won the most. It is also recommended to watch streams and blogs of popular players.
  2. It is worth monitoring particular sites that offer free access to independent comparisons and reviews of casinos and slots.
  3. Some developers are famous for their high RTP slots. For example, such as Playtech or NetEnt.
  4. Avoid slot machines with lower payments or those who practically do not pay.

Attention on the House Edge

The concept of House Edge is prevalent in slot machines. It denotes the advantage of the casino when, for example, it takes 5%, which remains from 95% of the payout percentage declared in the slot. The House Edge may be incorporated into a slot machine rules casino. In any case, you can see and understand what this indicator is.

Based on the above, it will not be a secret for anyone that it is worth choosing the casino and slots with the highest RTP, which is the same as the payout percentage, then you increase your chance of a big return and reduce the House Edge.

Slot machines are a complex mechanism with the same complicated software based on a random number generator, which produces the results of each player’s spin. As a result, any result will be entirely random. So it turns out that one day you can win the first time, and another time you can spin the reels for hours and with the amounts of payments, they can be very different.

house edge

When betting impressive amounts in slots with a high Return to Player ratio, the return will also be high but do not run to bet everything. The risk of not getting the full return of payments is also there need to remember about it. There are many other functions in slots that can also greatly affect the initial result.

Below you see a list of the top high RTP games that you can easily try out and are very interesting in their own right.

Mega Joker (99% RTP)

Quite an exciting fruit slot with a classic theme from NetEnt, which allows the player to get impressive wins thanks to the highest payout percentage, special features (Supermeter Mode, Gamble Mode), and high volatility. Besides, there is a progressive jackpot and an opportunity to win £30,000.

Ooh Aah Dracula (99% RTP)

It is a bit crazy slot in the style of a single vampire’s dark story with different exciting features, free spins, an impressive bonus round, and, again, a huge RTP. The difference in the range of rates from 10 cents to $ 500 per spin is encouraging. The slot is considered one of the best from Barcrest and for a good reason.

Indian Dreaming (98.99% RTP)

A stylized Indian inspired game from Australian provider Aristocrat. The slot pleases its players with a prize pool of 9000 jackpots, high winning odds thanks to 243 paylines, and more. Also, the slot machine includes well-drawn graphics, especially in symbols.

Lightning Link (98% RTP)

It is quite a well-known slot from Aristocrat, which is very popular among experienced players. Bets can be placed from a minimum of 1 penny to a maximum of $500, making the slot universal for different players. What’s more, Lightning Link has excellent bonus features, free spins, and an impressive payout percentage.

Blood Suckers (98% RTP)

It is an older generation vampire slot from NetEnt with still decent graphics. The slot machine has multipliers and free spins, 25 paylines, and a maximum possible winnings of 45,000. A unique feature of the game is the special function The Click Me Coffin Stabbing with vampires and stakes in the heart and, of course, there are great bonus symbols.

Piggy Bank (97.3% RTP)

It is one of the funniest and brightest slots that combines various funny piglet symbols. The game offers players unique bonuses and a generous Smash the Pig bonus game, an average number of free spins, 243 ways to win, and a completely intuitive interface. The minimum bet in Piggy Bank is 50 cents, and the maximum is only $ 10, so the player will not be able to make a huge bet.

Big Red (97.04% RTP)

Aristocrat’s unique and popular kangaroo slot features 5 paylines, a jackpot of up to 10,000 coins, an impressive 225 free spins, and grandiose multipliers. Bets start at 10p per spin and go up to £ 50, a maximum of £ 250 when using all lines.

Aussie Pokies Payouts vs. Other Casino Games

It can be immediately noted and made clear that the payout rate is always higher in online slots than in land-based slot machines. When the average rate of online slots is in the region of 94-95%, then in land-based slots, it can drop to 75%, which is very small.

Slots from NetEnt can be considered the undoubted golden mean, which has some of the most comfortable slots for players with average RTPs. And the worst option is Amaya slots, which store indicators below 93%.

If we compare Australian online slots with other casino games, they are slightly above average. It is worth noting that, although other casino games have more impressive payouts, they also have more difficult moments of passing with greater risks. For example, Blackjack has a high payout rate, but playing it will be very difficult for a player to get significant winnings.

Summary Table House Advantage UNLV Gaming

Summary Table for House Advantage by UNLV Gaming

Based on everything, the player needs to decide about his game and with his money reserves for bets, whether he is ready to risk large sums of money to get impressive wins, or is it better to choose the middle with average payouts and less risky bets.

Cash Out at the Best Aussie Online Casinos

The online casino payment system designates processing moments when the player withdraws or credits funds (deposits). The casino site on which you are going to play must only have proven and reliable ways of working with funds. Besides, if the casino site quickly processes your money requests, this shows the casino’s level and its site in general.

A good online casino site, at least, will have several options for deposits, methods of crediting, and withdrawing funds (faster one in priority).

The fastest way a player can withdraw his winning money from a casino is a Trustly electronic wallet with withdrawal per day, followed by other standard wallets such as PayPal, ecoPayz, Neteller, and withdrawals can vary from one to three days.

Legal and not complicated manipulations can accelerate the withdrawal process:

  • Check account details and keep them in order.
  • Often casinos provide premium or VIP memberships. These customers are processed faster.
  • Play only on honest, licensed casino sites.
  • Check carefully the various casino withdrawal requirements, especially bonus moments.

As a result, when you choose a place where to play gambling slot machines, carefully go through all online casino information. Check its legality, the availability of payment methods convenient for you, and how fast they are, as well as the presence on the site of the most profitable slots with high percentages payments.

All things considered, Karamba Gaming seems to have launched another (all-) star into the orbit.

The webpage design has certain grandeur vibe to it, and the games are exposed on a mobile-friendly platform. The welcome bonus sounds terrific, if there weren’t for the sizeably high wagering requirements.
