Online slot fans have plenty of treats in store despite the launching of several new games already announced this (April) month.
Starting on April 18, RealTime Gaming licensees will be offering a different version of the Bulls and Bears slot, themed on the stock market rather than ball sports.
In the new game, the Bulls and Bears are Wild and double the prize, or quadruple winnings if both appear, and the Buy-Sell free game eature gives players the opportunity to experience a Bull or Bear market, with up to 15 Free Spins and tripled prizes. An extra free spin is awarded for every chosen Bull or Bear symbol that appears during the feature.
Bulls and Bears also has the patented Feature Guarantee system, which ensures that the feature will be triggered within 100 paid spins if not won randomly. The Instant Trigger Chance also lets the player attempt to trigger the feature instantly.
Reportedly on the Microgaming release schedule for May, there are two new slots: Untamed Bengal Tiger and Shoot!
Untamed Bengal Tiger is a new online slot that features images of large majestic cats, cautious deer, and serene meadows. There are 243 different winning combinations, along with impressive bonus features. Watch for the cat’s eye symbol. If 3 or more of those appear on-screen, the player wins 20 free spins. During the free spins, a special feature called “trailing wilds” will create a trail of Wilds as they slide down the reels, which helps to create more winning combinations.
The free spins can also be triggered via the game’s “Lucky Nudge” feature. Here, a peeking cat’s eye may nudge a reel from above or below to trigger the free spins.
All of this is augmented by “Collect A Wild,” a feature that enables each wild “Untamed Bengal Tiger” symbol that appears to activate a wild icon underneath the reel where it appears. 4 icons under a reel, and the entire reel turns wild for 4 spins.
The new Shoot! slot is a football-themed game featuring players from the ‘sixties, ‘seventies and ‘eighties in a 50 pay-line slot that has a top prize of 50,000 coins in the base game, and during the free spins feature up to 619,000 coins.
Shoot! slot has a bonus feature called the Trade ‘Em Bonus, which is triggered when 3, 4, or 5 scattered “Bonus” symbols appear anywhere on-screen. During the Trade ‘Em Bonus, players will see 12 cards and must choose 4 of these to reveal hidden prizes. There are two second-level bonuses as well, which can be triggered by finding the Free Spins symbol and the Magazine Bonus symbol.
Players who discover the Free Spins symbol during the Trade ‘Em Bonus, win between 10 and 35 free spins, during which all prizes are doubled, whilst those who uncover the Magazine Bonus will be presented with 12 magazines from which to select prizes. However, be warned – uncover a red flag, and the Magazine Bonus round ends.
The graphics of the Shoot! slot machine are sharp and bright, as you would expect with a Microgaming slot game. You’ll find Shoot! at Luxury Casino in early May 2012. Check it out!
Betsoft is also unveiling a new slot at online casino Mr Green. Slots Angels is a colourful and fun new online slot machine with reel images that include tough-looking bikers, pool tables, motorcycles and dart boards. Players should keep a watchful eye out for virtual booze bottles; when 3 or more of these appear on-screen the Party Free Spins feature triggers, in which the centre reel turns Wild and the biker gang cheers the player on as free spins are played out.
Other entertainment is provided when 3 or more dartboards appear on-screen, allowing the player to choose a prize. The game’s Biker Race bonus round is triggered when 3 or more leading bikers appear. During this bonus round, players choose one biker to win the race, achieving prizes based on the selection.
Besoft’s game has a Reel Respin feature, empowering the player to win additional prizes every time a win is achieved by spinning the central reel again. Each time the reel respins, the multiplier value increases up to a maximum of 5x.
