Adventure Palace is a new video slot from Microgaming that takes players from Canada and all over the world on an adventure to exotic locales where hidden dangers and excitement (along with some nice prizes) await them.

Adventure Palace can be played at any Microgaming casino, including such long-time favorites as 777 Dragon Casino, Roxy Palace Casino, and Vegas Palms Casino.

Adventure Palace Basic Information

While many of Microgaming’s slot games lately have been of the “243 ways to win” variety, I for one am happy to see that they are still making video slots of the more classic style. This 5-reel, 9-payline slot definitely fits the bill, with its clean, crisp design and colorful symbols.

Adventure Palace plays up its theme without pounding it down your throat, which is nice. Symbols include tigers, king cobras, elephants, peacocks, and more. The familiar 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols appear with vines and leaves draped over them to help them fit the motif, as well. The sounds and music can be turned off, if you prefer, which is always a nice option for those who like to play their own background music during their gaming sessions.

Adventure Palace Coin Values and Jackpots

Adventure Palace has a wide range of coin values, allowing players to choose their level of investment on a spin-by-spin basis. Coin values start at 1 cent and go all the way up to $1, with values like 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, and 25 cents in between. Since you can bet five coins per line, you can bet up to $45 per spin, if you wish, or play all of the paylines at a penny apiece for just 9 cents per spin.

Adventure Palace packs a respectable base jackpot of 10,000 coins, although with multipliers and a higher coin per line bet, you can make even more in one spin playing the game.

Adventure Palace Jackpot Rules

In order to win the highest prize in the game, you will want to look out for the elephant symbol. It is wild in the game and if you get five of them on an active payline, you can win 10,000 coins very quickly. The tiger and baboon are the two most valuable standard symbols, garnering wins of 750 coins when you get five of them on an active payline.

Adventure Time Special Symbols

A picture of the landscape is the scatter symbol, and can earn you fifteen free spins if you get three or more on any of the reels. Furthermore, getting two or more of them anywhere wins you coins, with 500 coins for getting five of them in one spin.

The afore-mentioned elephant symbol is wild, and substitutes for all but the scatter symbol. It also doubles your win when it subs for a symbol in a winning combination, which is a nice touch.

Adventure Palace Bonus Games

There are no true bonus games in Adventure Palace. There are free spins to be earned, as you get 15 of them for getting three or more scatter symbols, though. When you have free spins, all wins are tripled. Also, there is a “Gamble” feature like many of Microgaming’s offerings that allow you to double your win by guessing the color of a concealed playing card, or quadruple it by guessing the suit correctly.

Final Thoughts

Adventure Palace is a very simple, but charming video slot. It does not knock you over the head with bonus features or flaunt a recognizable property from movies or video games, but it is fun to play and offers some nice prizes for those who give it a try, and thus can be recommended.

Girls With Guns is an honestly-named video slot that yes, pairs sexy girls with decidedly less (maybe not, depending on your taste, I suppose) guns for a game that will be enjoyed by guys (and girls, in some cases) in Canada and the world over.

This Microgaming slot has been newly released for play in all Microgaming-based online casinos, including such favorites as Roxy Palace Casino, 32 Red Casino, Spin Palace Casino, and many others.

Girls With Guns Basic Information

As with the other popular entrants in Microgaming’s other 243 ways to win series, this game does not include actual paylines in this game, at least in the traditional sense of the term. This is a five-reel game that does include a wild and scatter symbol to spice things up a bit.

As the game is set in the jungle, the screen is framed with foliage that emphasizes the dense, dangerous location. The symbols include the various sexy girls, and of course, their guns, along with the villain of the story and more. Even the classic 10,J,Q,K, and A symbols are livened up with a gun-metal finish and accessories such as C4, claymores, and tear gas canisters to emphasize the combat theme.

Girls With Guns Coin Values and Jackpots

Girls With Guns is a rare slot in that it features only three coin values- 1 cent, 2 cents, and 5 cents. However, despite this lack of coin values to choose from, you have a wide range of betting amounts to play at, all the way up to $30 CAD per spin.

The regular jackpot is 30,000 coins, but with wild symbols, scatter symbols, and other features you can win up to a robust 1,900,000 coins.

Girls With Guns Jackpot Rules

The highest regular jackpot just requires you to get five of the scatter symbol on a single spin. The scatter symbol pays out at 30,000 coins when you get five of them. Also paying highly is the wild symbol, which gives you 4,000 coins when you get five of them. The fiery red-headed leader of the girl group is also worth 4,000 coins when you get her symbol five times on a payline.

Girls With Guns Special Symbols

We already discussed that the scatter symbol, which features a grenade in the background and the word “scatter” written diagonally on the symbol, is worth 30,000 coins if you get five of them anywhere on the reels. However, it is also the key to free spins, as getting three or more will earn you 15 free spins.

The wild symbol is the “Girls With Guns” logo, and can substitute for any other symbol other than the scatter symbol. There is also a special wild symbol, which features all of the girls standing together as silhouettes. It appears anywhere on the third reel in normal play and expands to make the whole reel wild when it does appear. Like the standard wild symbol, it does not substitute for the scatter symbol.

Girls With Guns Bonus Games

There is no true bonus game in Girls With Guns, but the free spins mode almost qualifies. You get 15 free spins when they are triggered, and you can retrigger them as you play. Furthermore, on each spin, a whole reel will turn wild, which gives you even better chances of winning.

Final Thoughts

If you like girls, guns, or just video slots, you should head over to a Microgaming casino and give this game a try as soon as you get a chance. If you like all three things, what are you waiting for? This slot is your dream come true!


Arctic Fortune

Arctic Fortune

Coin Values CAD$/$/£/€: .01-.20
Max Coins Per Line: 10
Max Per Spin CAD$/$/£/€: 100
Wild Symbol: Yes
Scatter Symbol: Yes
Bonus Features: Yes
Progressive: No
Software: Microgaming

Arctic Fortune is a frostily-themed game that features a shivering cold world that nonetheless teases you with the possibility of massive fortunes just waiting to be won. You won’t be left in the cold with 1,024 ways to win, thanks to Microgaming’s award-winning technology at work in this innovative slot.

Like all Microgaming video slots, players in Canada and elsewhere around the world can play Arctic Fortune by visiting casinos like Jackpot City, Casino Action, and Lucky Emperor Casino.

Arctic Fortune Basic Information

Like Microgaming’s other 1,024 ways to win games, there are no actual paylines in this game, at least not in the traditional sense. This five reel game also features wild and scatter symbols, as well as multipliers and a bonus game to enjoy.

The frosty edges of the game screen and dark blue colors add to the immersive effects of the game itself, which also features symbols such as wolves, vikings, and treasure chests bursting with riches. Sound effects and adventurous music, which can be muted if you choose to, also increase the game’s fun factor.

Arctic Fortune Coin Values and Jackpots

Coin values are fairly limited in Arctic Fortune, but betting values are not. While coin values only go from .01 to .20 (with values like 2 cents, 5 cents, and 10 cents in between), the betting range goes from 50 cents all the way to $100 per spin for the high rollers out there.

The jackpot is pretty healthy, with a possible win of 15,000 coins, which is $3,000 CAD at the highest coin value of 20 cents. Not a bad win at all for a non-progressive slot!

Arctic Fortune Jackpot Rules

To get the highest win, you have to get the blond-haired viking, who is shown with his shield raised and ready for combat. Since there are 1,024 ways to win in this game, getting five of them is not as insurmountable as it would be in other video slot games, to be certain.

Arctic Fortune Special Symbols

The scatter symbol is a treasure map with a knife stabbed into it to show the adventurer’s destination. Get three or more of them and you start the Arctic Fortune bonus game. Any two or more scatter symbols pay out, as well.

The game’s wild symbol is the Arctic Fortune logo, which can substitute for all other symbols except the scatter. It appears only on reels 2 and 4, as well.

Arctic Fortune Bonus Games

When you trigger the bonus game, you are presented with flaming arrows, which you shoot at red and black spiders. Each successful hit gives you free spins or a multiplier to increase your winnings. On the following stage, you take on the big daddy of them all, and when you hit the boss spider and release the door to drop him, you are the winner.

Final Thoughts

Arctic Fortune promises the kind of adventure that is rarely seen in video slot games. It also packs a nice array of features, especially the fun and thrilling bonus game, and overall is a great slot to play.


Spamalot

Reels: 5
Winning Lines: 20
Coin Values CAD$/$/£/€: .01-2.50
Max Coins Per Line: 1
Max Per Spin CAD$/$/£/€: 50
Wild Symbol: Yes
Scatter Symbol: Yes
Bonus Features: Yes
Progressive: Yes
Software: Playtech

Spamalot easily garners attention from the busy world of online slots because it stands out due to the humor and theme involved in the game. Furthermore, what other slot can be said to be inspired by Monty Python?

This humorous slot game is designed by Playtech and can be enjoyed at casinos such as Omni Casino, Vegas Red Casino, bet365 Casino, and more.

Spamalot Basic Information

Spamalot has a cartoonish theme that is fitting when considering the humor of the source material. Characters include King Arthur, the Lady of the Lake, and Sirs Lancelot, Robin, and Galahad. All look suitably silly, with the exception of the Lady of the Lake, who looks rather fetching even in cartoon form.

Aside from the fun symbols and great sound, this is a five-reel slot that features 20 paylines. Plenty of features are included, such as special symbols, a bonus game, and more. Of course, the progressive jackpot also attracts many players, and rightfully so.

Spamalot Coin Values and Jackpots

In Spamalot, you will have some options when it comes to the amounts of your wagers. Coin ranges start at 1 cent and go all the way to $2.50, with a multitude of values in between, such as 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, $1, and more. You can only bet one coin per line, but with twenty paylines to play, the betting range goes from just 1 cent all the way to $50.

The progressive jackpot is not the largest you’ll find online, but it’s an active one and is worth an average of about $861, with winners every 10 hours or so. The biggest win was nearly $5,000 CAD, which is a nice sum, indeed.

Spamalot Jackpot Rules

To win the Spamalot jackpot, you first have to get into the Holy Grail Jackpot game. You can do so by getting five jackpot symbols on reel three, but only when you are in the free games, which require the scatter symbol to get into.

Spamalot Special Symbols

The wild symbol is the Holy Grail itself, and substitutes for all symbols except other special symbols. Five of them on any payline will give you 5,000 coins.

The Bonus symbol will get you into the Spamalot bonus game, which is outstanding. You need to get the bonus symbol anywhere on reels one and five in order to trigger the bonus game.

The scatter symbol simply says “Monty Python’s Scatter”, so you can’t miss it. Three or more pay out, and you will also get free games with random wilds when you get three or more.

Spamalot Bonus Games

The Free Games mode, triggered by the scatter symbol as detailed above, allows you free spins. However, five or more jackpot symbols on reel three during the Free Games mode will give you the progressive jackpot, which is a great incentive.

The actual Spamalot bonus game, however, is much more involved and really great. When you enter the bonus mode, there are Storm the Castle, None Shall Pass, Knights Who Say Ni, and Killer Rabbit.

Storm the Castle allows you to pick one of six positions to place your knights so you can avoid being hit by a flying cow (yes, really). Avoid the cow, and you win a prize. The round ends when you’re hit.

None Shall Pass gives you a 5x multiplier and you must try to cut off the limbs of the Black Knight, winning prizes when you succeed. When you miss, the multiplier drops by one, with your cash prize being multiplied at the end of the round by your final multiplier amount.

Knights Who Say Ni gives you three houses with shrubbery that is needed by your knights. You pick one and see the prize in the shrubbery, and can keep it or discard it to pick another house.

Killer Rabbit forces you to pick a rock so that a knight can use it to slay the Killer Rabbit. If he’s successful, the other knights left over will grant you cash prizes. If not, the knight will be dead and you pick another rock, repeating the process again.

Final Thoughts

It’s hard to think of a video slot game anywhere that is more amusing or which has a better bonus game than Monty Python’s Spamalot. The progressive jackpot is modest, but a nice incentive, and the game as a whole is fun to play.


Gladiator Jackpot

Max Coins Per Line: 10

Wild Symbol: Yes
Scatter Symbol: Yes
Bonus Features: Yes
Progressive: No
Software: Playtech

Gladiator, the 2000 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe, was a huge success, even winning Best Picture at the 73rd Academy Awards. As a film that still resonates with people to this day, it’s no wonder that the officially licensed video slot by Playtech continues to be one of the most popular online slots on the entire internet.

If you want to relive the epic movie while vying for a huge jackpot, you can do so at Playtech casinos such as City Club Casino, Winner Casino, Omni Casino, and many others.

Gladiator Basic Information

This stunning 5-reel slot offers 25 paylines that can grant players with very memorable wins. However, as one might expect, the real attraction here is the game itself and the way that it brings the world of the Gladiator film to life.

All of the memorable characters are here, from Maximus himself to Commodus, Proximo, Lucilla, Juba, and more. The Coliseum is also pictured, and there are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols in black and gold to match the attractive theme of the video slot itself. Animations are not spared here, as you will see short clips from the film when you win certain prizes with character symbols.

Gladiator Coin Values and Jackpots

You would be hard pressed to find a game that has a wider selection of possible coin values than Gladiator does. Gladiator offers coin values that can be set as low as 2 cents and as high as a whopping $25 per coin, with many values in between. That means that you can play for just 2 cents per spin, but with 25 lines and 10 coins per line maximum, you can also bet $6,250 per spin if you’re a (really) high-roller.

While Gladiator’s jackpot is not progressive, it is larger than most progressive jackpots get, nonetheless. You can win over a million dollars in one spin, with a $1.25 million top prize in this online video slot.

Gladiator Jackpot Rules

To win the highest prize in Gladiator, you will not multipliers, which are supplied in the Coliseum bonus game, which is triggered by the scatter symbol. There, win multipliers and wild symbols will help you to rack up huge prizes in a hurry.

Gladiator Special Symbols

Gladiator features two special symbols. The first is the mask that Maximus wears in the arena in the movie. The mask appears on the middle three reels and is wild, substituting for any symbol but the scatter symbol. It also can start the Gladiator bonus game.

The scatter symbol is represented by an outside view of the epic Coliseum itself. This symbol pays off when you get two or more across any of the reels. It can also trigger the Coliseum bonus game.

Gladiator Bonus Games

The Gladiator bonus feature is triggered when you get three of Maximus’ masks on one spin. It simply reveals masks, which have random wins that add up to your running total. It’s not very interactive, but can be quite profitable nonetheless.

The other bonus game is the Coliseum bonus game, which is triggered when you get three or more scatter symbols on one spin. Then, you choose from stones in multiple columns, which you choose from to reveal prizes such as bonus wins, free spins, or multipliers.

Final Thoughts

Gladiator is a no-brainer for fans of the movie, but it’s such a good slot with so many features (not to mention, a huge jackpot) that it’s also a great choice for those who have never even seen the film. It’s a truly well-rounded game and it’s hard to imagine someone not enjoying it.

Mega Moolah Summertime takes the classic Mega Moolah game and adds all of the fun and sun of summertime to provide a great twist to the proceedings. Simple at its core but with some pleasant hidden depth, this slot game offers progressive jackpots along with plenty of fun features.

Those who want to have a shot at the progressive jackpot Mega Moolah offers will want to go to Microgaming-powered casinos such as River Belle Casino, Gaming Club Casino, GoWild Casino, and plenty of others.

Mega Moolah Summertime Basic Information

Mega Moolah is a 5-reel video slot, but is unique in that it offers just 9 paylines. This can be a relief to those who actually want to be able to watch the paylines for signs of a possible win, which isn’t always something you can do with games that have upwards of 25 paylines to monitor.

The layout is simple and the colors are vibrant without being distracting. Aside from the classic symbols like bells, 7s, cherries, and bars, there are oranges, strawberries, a Summertime logo, and other images that evoke the sensation of a sunny beach.

Mega Moolah Summertime Coin Values and Jackpots

Coin values include 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, and a maximum of 20 cents. However, you can play ten coins per line, which means that even with only 9 paylines you can wager up to $18 per spin if you wish.

While Mega Moolah Summertime’s jackpot isn’t one that makes millionaires out of its players, it will definitely brighten your day with an average payout of $32,525 and a seed amount of $10,000. One lucky winner even took home $111,519 while playing Mega Moolah Summertime!

Mega Moolah Summertime Jackpot Rules

The bonus game is randomly triggered in Mega Moolah Summertime, just as it is with the classic Mega Moolah video slot. However, you can increase your chances of triggering the game by betting more per spin, just the same. Once the bonus game is triggered, you spin a wheel that reveals your prize amount. Hopefully, it’ll be the progressive jackpot!

Mega Moolah Summertime Special Symbols

Mega Moolah Summertime is a full-featured slot with both a wild and a  scatter symbol. The wild symbol is the Summertime logo. It can substitute for all other symbols except for the scatter (of course). Furthermore, this fun symbol even doubles your winnings when it helps to create a winning combination.

The scatter symbol is that of a beach with ocean water visible at the bottom and “SCATTER” written in the sand. It pays when you get two or more anywhere on the screen, and is also the key to earning free spins (when you get three or more).

Mega Moolah Summertime Bonus Games

The free spins game gives you 15 free spins to start with. Furthermore, your wins are tripled during this mode, which is great news for any player. Best of all, you can even re-trigger free spins during the free spins mode!

The bonus game, as explained earlier, is triggered randomly (with increased odds for higher bets) and leads to a wheel-spinning minigame that determines your prize.

Final Thoughts

Mega Moolah Summertime is a great video slot overall. It’s not too complicated but offers free spins, a scatter and wild symbol, plenty of multipliers, and a chance at a progressive jackpot. The vibrant colors and designs add to the theme without being distracting or annoying. This one gets two thumbs up.


Sopranos Slot Released

Do you remember the cult American show called The Sopranos? You must remember the show as it ran from 1999 all the way to 2007 on HBO and was exported to many overseas countries. For those that do not know or remember the Sopranos, it was a show based on the Mafia with the lead guy being the Mafia don Tony Soprano who was based in New Jersey. The show was a drama based on mafia life and showed you an interesting and thought capturing array of episodes over the 8 years it was on show.

Although the show finished in 2007, many still love to get out their box set and watch this program, it is for this reason that HBO have allowed licence of the show to become an online slot game.

Of all the software companies that could have snapped the Sopranos franchise up, it was Playtech that did the deal with HBO. This is something many are very happy about given Playtechs history in the online casino world and the respect everyone has for this great online slot company.

The game is called The Sopranos for obvious reasons and is a must play slot whether your into the Sopranos or not. From the outset you are inundated with brilliant clips from the program with the enticing clips at the start showing many memorable scenes.

This slot is a five reel affair that delivers up to five thousand coins as the jackpot. All the main symbols are made up with the characters of the show with Arty, Bobby, Christopher, Johnny, Paulie and the most important character Tony being the main symbols to watch out for.

There are many bonus games and other great things to watch out for on this slot so it is certainly one to play even if you do not know the Sopranos.


The Dark Knight

Reels: 5
Winning Lines: 243 ways
Coin Values CAD$/$/£/€: 0.01-0.02
Max Coins Per Line: 10
Max Per Spin CAD$/$/£/€: 6
Wild Symbol: Yes
Scatter Symbol: Yes 
Bonus Features: Yes
Progressive: Yes
Software: Microgaming

The Dark Knight capitalizes on the brilliant film trilogy based upon the legendary superhero known as Batman, as you will enjoy a theme, imagery, animations, and sounds that evoke the second of the three films, which featured Heath Ledger as the Joker. In this game, the unpredictability of Gotham City is apparent, as either the Batman or Joker can show up at any time to award you prizes.

Microgaming is the creator of this new blockbuster slot, so you can play The Dark Knight at Microgaming casinos, like 32 Red Casino, Lucky Nugget Casino, Vegas 7 Casino, and many others.

The Dark Knight Basic Information

The Dark Knight is a 5-reel slot. It uses Microgaming’s popular 243 ways to win feature to provide hundreds of possible winning combinations with every spin, adding to the excitement as you play. The game features actual images from the film, including actors like Christian Bale (both as Bruce Wayne and in full costume as Batman), the Batman symbol, and so on. Familiar symbols like the J, Q, K, and A are seen, too.

As you play, you will enjoy the kind of animations, sound effects, and music that you would expect with such a blockbuster video slot experience. Everything here is top notch, and playing this slot game is like being brought into the film.

The Dark Knight Coin Values and Jackpots

The coin values are very limited, as you can only choose between 1 cent and 2 cents for them. However, you can bet up to $6 per spin, since you can bet 10 coins per line on the 30 official paylines of the game.

There are two types of jackpots in The Dark Knight: the regular jackpots and the progressive ones. The biggest regular jackpot is 15,000 coins (at one coin per line wagered), although with free spins and other bonuses you can win up to 4,000,000 coins.

The progressive jackpots come in tiers: the mega progressive (starts at $1,000,000), major progressive (starts at $10,000), minor progressive (starts at $100), and mini progressive (starts at $10).

The Dark Knight Jackpot Rules

Winning the standard 15,000 coin jackpot is easy: simply get five symbols showing a Joker face spray-painted against a white brick wall on an active payline. To earn more than that in the regular game, you will need multipliers from the game’s free spins mode, which we will talk about later on.

The progressive jackpots are awarded mostly at random, as you can be pulled into a special screen at any time that shows a large wheel, with Batman standing on one side and Joker on the other. First, you have to choose your side, as each character has their own stopper, and then the wheel will spin. The panel that the stopper lands on when it is done spinning will indicate which of the four levels of progressive jackpots you have won.

The Dark Knight Special Symbols

The wild symbol in The Dark Knight is the Batman symbol, which is instantly recognizable as it creates a white silhouette around its black shape and background. The wild symbol substitutes for all but the scatter symbol, and best of all, it appears stacked no matter what reel it lands on, which gives you a better chance of landing winning combinations.

The scatter symbol is the Joker’s spray-painted image against the white brick wall, which you’ll remember is also the most valuable symbol in the game. When you get three or more of them, you will win 15 free spins. Best of all, you get a 2x multiplier to start with during the spins.

The Dark Knight Bonus Features

Besides the random progressive jackpot bonus feature that we discussed earlier, The Dark Knight also offers random appearances by Batman and the Joker alike. What happens is that when your spin is occurring, one of the two characters may just walk right onto the screen and award you a prize. It makes the game all the more exciting and unpredictable. Then, of course, there is the free spins mode, which gives you a multiplier to help you rack up nice wins, although free spins can’t be re-triggered.

The Dark Knight Final Thoughts

A movie as epic as The Dark Knight required a video slot that is just as brilliant, and Microgaming didn’t disappoint. The mood, theme, animations, symbols, and sounds all work in concert to provide a film-like experience, and nice touches like the random appearances of Batman and Joker add even more to the game’s appeal. Throw in some nice progressive jackpots, and you have a winner.

 


Jackpot Express

Jackpot Express is a train-themed classic slot game created by Microgaming to appease fans of traditional, 3-reel slots. This charming game features an old-school layout, some good prizes, and plenty of fun.

To play Jackpot Express, you’ll have to go to a Microgaming casino, such as Gaming Club Casino, Ruby Fortune Casino, River Belle Casino, or one of the many others that utilize Microgaming software. No matter where you go, this review will reflect how the game works and what it has to offer.

Jackpot Express Basic Information

Jackpot Express is not trying to give you a storyline worthy of a novel, special effects like a blockbuster movie, or animations that remind you of a next-gen video game. It is definitely a slot game for fans of 3-reel, traditional slots that are easy to play and fun to take some spins on.

This old school slot features a classic layout that has the reels in the upper left hand corner, with the payout scale conveniently located along the right. Like with all Microgaming slots, the controls are all along the bottom, including buttons to spin, bet the maximum amount, change your lines or coin values, and so on. The train pictured on the game screen, completely with an overflowing car full of gold coins, very much fits the theme, and cars of gold are the most valuable symbols in the game, too.

Jackpot Express Coin Values and Jackpots

With just five lines to play, coin values are pretty limited. They start at 25 cents, higher than a 5-reel slot for obvious reasons, and go up to $5. Since you can only bet one coin per line and there are five paylines, you can bet up to $25 on a single spin, or play all five lines for as little as $1.25.

Without scatter symbols or bonus games, the jackpot amounts are very straight-forward. The same combination of symbols is responsible for the five largest prizes in the game, $5,000, $2,500, $2,000, $1,500, and $1,000.

Jackpot Express Jackpot Rules

As mentioned before, the train car full of gold coins is the most valuable symbol in Jackpot Express. Get three of them across any active payline, and you will win one of the game’s top prizes. To get the highest jackpot, you need to get the train cars across the fifth and final payline, which means you can’t win the highest jackpot without playing all five lines.

Jackpot Express Special Symbols

As a basic 3-reel slot game, there is only one special symbol in Jackpot Express. You guessed it; it’s the train car overflowing with gold coins. The wild symbol can substitute for any other symbol in the game to help you get winning combinations.

Jackpot Express Final Thoughts

If you want a simpler, more classic type of slot game, you will be enamored with Jackpot Express. It’s an easy to play, fast game that nonetheless offers some really nice prizes, with a jackpot of 5,000 coins. It’s worth taking a spin or two on at the very least.


Mad Hatters

Mad Hatters invites players down into the rabbit hole and to an exclusive tea party that is reserved for only the mad. Anyone who is familiar even in passing with the famous story of Alice in Wonderland will certainly appreciate the setting and personality present in this video slot.

Mad Hatters is a 5-reel, 30-payline video slot created by Microgaming and available at many Microgaming casinos on the internet, including 7 Sultans Casino, Cabaret Club Casino, Blackjack Ballroom, Vegas Villa Casino, and many others.

Mad Hatters Basic Information

Mad Hatters immediately demands your attention with its vibrant, colorful characters and lively music. Should you find it a little too energetic for your liking, you can customize the game by disabling the sound effects, background music, or both, of course. The overall design of the border is very simple to attract attention to the game itself and the symbols as they spin.

Unlike many other themed video slots, there are no stock 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols. Instead, every symbol is unique to Mad Hatters, and includes the Mad Hatter himself, his two friends, a teapot, a piece of delicious cake, a teacup with steaming hot tea, a cupcake, and so on. Symbols animate when wins are made, and the buttons along the bottom that control the game are clean and large enough to easily click on without having to hunt for anything.

Mad Hatters Coin Values and Jackpots

The coin values are fairly conservative, much unlike the Mad Hatter himself. They start at 1 cent and include values of 2 cents, 5 cents, and a top value of 10 cents per coin. However, with 30 paylines to bet upon, you can still amass a decent-sized bet with each spin, especially considering that you can bet 10 coins per line. The max bet, therefore, is $30, while more frugal players can play every payline at just 30 cents per spin.

The top regular prize in the game is 20,000 coins, which is based off of a bet of one coin per payline. If you bet the maximum of 10 coins per payline, you would actually win 200,000 coins with the jackpot, which could be worth up to $20,000 at the highest coin value. Other factors can lead to big wins, too, including the scatter symbol and bonus games.

Mad Hatters Jackpot Rules

To capitalize on the 20,000 coin jackpot, you need to get five symbols of the Mad Hatter’s iconic top hat, which has the word “MAD” written above it on the symbol for easy identification. Five of them on any active payline will do the trick. The second highest prize of 2,000 coins is available if you get five symbols showing the Mad Hatter himself, smiling and about to eat a cupcake.

Mad Hatters Special Symbols

The symbol of the top hat with “MAD” written above it is not just the game’s most valuable symbol, but also its wild symbol, and substitutes for any other symbol except the two scatter symbols.

Meanwhile, the cuckoo clock is a scatter symbol that can activate the aptly-named “cuckoo bonus” if you collect three or more of them spread across adjacent reels.

The other scatter symbol is the rabbit in the hat, which activates free spins when you get three or more of them scattered across the reels. Three rabbits gives you 10 free spins, four gives you 25 free spins, and five of them gives you 50 free spins, along with a prize of 300 coins (multiplied by your total bet).

Mad Hatters Bonus Game

The cuckoo bonus, again, is activated by getting three or more cuckoo clocks. The bonus takes you into a pick ’em style game where you choose a cuckoo clock to reveal its hidden prize, which can be up to 11,100 coins.

The free spins game is about what you’d expect and locks you into the bet amount and lines that you played during the spin where you earned the free spins themselves. Although free spins cannot be re-triggered, the wins that you get (besides any cuckoo bonus wins during free spins) are doubled in this mode, which is very nice.

Mad Hatters Final Thoughts

Mad Hatters is really quite a video slot game. Bursting with personality, it has a generous free spin bonus that can help you rack up coins quickly, as well as a respectable regular jackpot and a nice range of betting amounts to choose from. It’s worth your time, no matter your level of affection for the Mad Hatter himself (or tea parties, for that matter).
