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!


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.

 


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).

Snake Slot takes you into a whimsical jungle where friendly, silly looking cartoon snakes inhabit the area. This colorful slot features a fun theme, upbeat music, pleasant sound effects and personality in spades.

Snake Slot is another addition to the growing roster of Microgaming video slots which can be played at casinos such as Casino Action, All Slots Casino, All Jackpots Casino, and many others.

Snake Slot Basic Information

When playing, you will keep a look out for colorful symbols that include all manner of fruits, such as bananas, watermelons, lemons, cherries, and grapes. These are high-resolution, detailed symbols, not old-fashioned ones, mind you. Our friendly snake also appears with a smile on his face in one symbol, fruit on his head in another, and behind a flashy gold coin in a third symbol.

The game is very easy to play and includes an Autoplay feature to allow you to repeat your last played bet at any time. You can also use the 5x or 10x Autoplay to increase your bet, or manually adjust the lines you play or coin values.

Snake Slot Coin Values and Jackpots

The coin values offer a nice range of potential bets, as they start at just one cent (CAD) and go to two cents, five cents, ten cents, twenty cents, and a maximum of 25 cents. You can only bet one coin per line, but with 30 lines available you still have a decent max bet of $7.50. You can even play every line with just a 30 cent bet, which is nice.

The largest jackpot you’ll be able to win in regular play outside of bonus features is 4,000 coins, which is available when you get five wild symbols on a single active payline.

Snake Slot Jackpot Rules

The wild symbol is a smiling image of our snake amigo, and five of them nets you 4,000 coins. Of course, with the Snake Lucky Line feature, your winnings on a single line for one spin will be multiplied by the total bet, so you can win much more than 4,000 coins, if you’re lucky.

Snake Slot Special Symbols

The wild symbol, as mentioned earlier, is a smiling symbol of the snake that helpfully says “Wild” on it. It can substitute for any symbol in the game other than other special symbols, although it does not multiply winnings when it does substitute in a winning combination.

The first scatter symbol is the Snake Lucky Line symbol. If you get it on the fifth reel, it triggers the Snake Lucky Line feature, with a prize of two times your total bet. A random payline will be selected and receive a fixed wild on the first reel for your next spin. Then, any winning combination on that line will be multiplied by your total bet on your next spin, too. This feature can even be triggered in free spins.

Another scatter symbol is the Free Spins symbol, which features the goofy snake in front of a yellow star. Get three or more of them and you will get ten free spins, which can be re-triggered.

Finally, the third scatter is the snake with fruit on top of his head, which is the Jungle Party Bonus symbol.

Snake Slot Bonus Game

Get three Jungle Party Bonus symbols (they appear only on odd-numbered reels), and you will enter the Jungle Party Bonus game.

In the game, you get to select from a number of onscreen fruits that the snake can eat. When you do, you will get bonus wins that are displayed as he eats, which are multiplied by the total bet. The prizes are given for one to five consecutive fruits, so if you are lucky enough to find five watermelons in a row, you can get a 400x bonus!

Snake Slot Final Thoughts

Even if you have an aversion to snakes, you will likely find this game extremely charming. The bonus game offers the possibility of truly huge bonus winnings, and the game is an eye-catching one that is a lot of fun to play. Everybody should give it a try.

Big Top takes players from Canada and around the world to the magical experience of the circus, with elephants, tigers, and all kinds of attractions to enjoy. Of course, the difference is that with this particular circus, you could also win quite a bit of cash.

This addition to the ever-growing roster of Microgaming video slots available at casinos such as GoWild Casino, Casino Action, River Belle Casino, Golden Riviera Casino, and many others.

Big Top Basic Information

Everything from the music and sound effects to the symbols and animations will make you feel almost like you’re at the actual circus when you play Big Top. With fun symbols that include clowns, colorfully dressed up monkeys, seals performing tricks, and more, you will instantly be filled with the same kind of joy you would have felt while attending the circus as a child.

The game itself is very easy to play, whether you want to quickly make a max bet, select individual pay lines, check the payout values, or simply spin with your current bet. You can also mute sound effects and/or the music, if you prefer.

Big Top Coin Values and Jackpots

Big Top offers a lot of different coin values, as they start at just 1 cent but go up to values such as 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, and the maximum of $1. The coin values are large because there are only 9 paylines to play and you can only bet five coins per line. So, you can still amass a bet of up to $45 on each spin, if you want.

The largest regular jackpot to be had in Big Top is 5,000 coins, which is an especially nice total if you are playing with the maximum coin value. Of course, if you are betting five coins per line, that jackpot quickly becomes 25,000 coins- a nice haul, for sure.

Big Top Jackpot Rules

To win the 5,000 coin regular jackpot, you simply have to get five of the most valuable symbol in the game, the “Big Top” symbol. Of course, if you can manage to get wild symbols to fill in for the Big Top symbol on an active payline, you can win that way, too.

Big Top Special Symbols

The wild symbol is a smiling and silly clown that helpfully features the word “Wild” in wacky, colorful letters. You won’t miss it when it comes up, and it substitutes for every symbol in the game, save for the scatter symbol. It does not double your winnings, however.

The scatter symbol is a smiling circus monkey, which also helpfully includes the word “Scatter” on the top of the symbol for easy and quick identification. Get three of them or more on any reels or paylines and you will win an extra prize that is added to your regular payline wins. The winnings from your scatter symbols are multiplied by the number of credits you have staked on that particular spin.

Big Top Final Thoughts

Big Top is big fun for fans of the circus or just those who want a little “pick me up” with a fun, colorful, and lively game. You won’t find gaudy bonus features here, but this game is great for slots purists who just want a great slot game that has the potential to deliver some nice winnings.

Throne of Egypt transports slot players to ancient Egypt and a world of adventure where seemingly anything can happen. In this game filled with evocative imagery, such as scarab beetles, pyramids, eagles, and so on, you can not only experience ancient Egypt in a whole new way, but win fantastic prizes at the same time.

This Microgaming video slot is a proud addition to the company’s ever-growing lineup of great games, and can be played at Microgaming-based casinos such as Cabaret Club Casino, Casino Action, Roxy Palace, Ruby Fortune Casino, and many others.

Throne of Egypt Basic Information

You immediately feel immersed in the storied culture of Egypt thanks to Throne of Egypt’s fun sound effects and distinctive music (which, of course, can be turned off if you find them distracting). Furthermore, the symbols and game design itself is steeped in Egyptian imagery, as the symbols feature a powerful Pharoah, Cleopatra, ceremonial jars, eagles, and so forth. Many of the symbols feature animations when wins occur.

As a Microgaming video slot, the game is very user friendly as you can quickly and easily bet the max amount, change the number of lines or coins that you are betting, and access the game’s pay tables. Microgaming prides itself on creating fun, user-friendly slots and this one is certainly no exception.

Throne of Egypt Coin Values and Jackpots

Throne of Egypt features a nice, wide range of coin values, starting at just 1 cent and including values of 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, and a maximum of 20 cents. It’s not the highest coin value out there, but with 25 pay lines you can play and a maximum of 5 coins per line that can be wagered, you can still bet up to $25 per spin. On the low end, you can play every line for just a quarter (all values given in CAD) at coin values of 1 cent each.

The largest regular jackpot you’ll find in Throne of Egypt is 50,000 coins, but that is with a five coin per line bet. At the highest coin value, you can thus win $10,000 in a single spin, which is not bad for a non-progressive video slot game.

Throne of Egypt Jackpot Rules

The secret to winning Throne of Egypt’s 50,000 coin prize is the game’s logo, which doubles as the wild symbol and is the most valuable symbol in the game. Get five of them on an active payline, and you’ve done it. Of course, with multipliers available through free spins, you can win much more, up to 500,000 coins in all.

Throne of Egypt Special Symbols

The wild symbol has already been mentioned, and is the Throne of Egypt logo. It can substitute for all symbols except for other special symbols like the scatter, and appears stacked on reels to help you have a better chance of getting a winning combination.

There are two scatter symbols in Throne of Egypt. The first is that of two cobras, which awards fifteen free spins when you get one of the symbols on both reels 1 and 5.

The other scatter symbol is the Eye of Ra, which opens up the “bonus chamber” when you get three of them. The Eye of Ra only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Throne of Egypt Bonus Games

The free spins feature is as you would expect and gives you fifteen free spins to win as much as you can. Your original bet is used to determine winnings, and the best part of all is that your wins are doubled throughout the free spins, making for massive potential wins.

The bonus chamber, accessible after getting three of the Eye of Ra scatter symbols, features three different and distinct games. The first is the Scarab Bonus and shows you twelve scarab beetles that you can choose from as you look to find a key and win prizes. When the key is found, you advance to the Eagle Bonus.

In the Eagle Bonus, you are given nine eagles, to choose from to find another key, but you only have three guesses to use, so you must choose carefully. If you are successful, you advance to the final bonus round.

The final round is the Princess Bonus, where you can find three beautiful princesses awaiting you. All conceal bonus multiplier values, and the one you choose gives you a corresponding multiplier that is applied to your accumulated win throughout the bonus games as you head back to normal play.

Throne of Egypt Final Thoughts

Throne of Egypt takes a great new spin (no pun intended) on ancient Egypt and gives you not only a great video slot experience, but some fun and original bonus games, too. No matter what type of slot player you are, you will likely find something to enjoy while experiencing Throne of Egypt.

Private Eye is a slot game that takes you into a world of intrigue, risk, and crime as you assume the role of a private investigator. This game is created with those who love noir-style thrillers in mind, but is also designed to be a good all-around video slot game.

Private Eye is a Microgaming video slot that can be found at all affiliated casinos, including Crazy Vegas, Golden Lounge Casino, Spin Palace Casino, and many others.

Private Eye Basic Information

Private Eye immediately draws you into its world of mystery and intrigue with music and sound effects that really fit the theme, but can be disabled if you find them obstructive to having a good time with the game. The symbols include a beautiful damsel, a camera, a mug shot, rotary telephone, handcuffs, a chalk outline, and many others that instantly evoke images of the world of a private eye.

Animations further add to the enjoyment of playing Private Eye, and the game’s multiple bonus games and special symbols add a layer of depth that really rewards extended play, which is always nice.

Private Eye Coin Values and Jackpots

Microgaming slots usually feature a nice range of coin values so that players can easily choose a betting amount that works for them, and Private Eye is no exception, with coin values at 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, and a maximum of 25 cents. Furthermore, you can bet multiple coins per line, allowing your total betting range to go from 25 cents all the way to $62.50 (all figures given in CAD).

The largest regular jackpots in Private Eye is 10,000 coins, but that is with a one coin per line bet. If you bet ten coins per line, you could win 100,000 with the same jackpot.

Private Eye Jackpot Rules

Private Eye’s largest prize requires the 4x multiplier that sometimes comes with the free spins bonus game. The regular jackpot tops out at 1,000 coins (10,000 with the maximum bet of 10 coins per line) for getting five Private Eye badges on a single active payline.

Private Eye Special Symbols

Private Eye has no shortage of special symbols to look forward to seeing, starting with the wild symbol, the afore-mentioned Private Eye badge. This symbol helps by substituting for all other symbols besides special symbols, allowing you to complete some winning combinations.

The regular scatter symbol is the private investigator himself, shown in a dapper suit with a fedora. He pays in any position, and wins with this scatter symbol are multiplied by your total bet and added to any regular payline wins when you get three or more on any of the reels and in any position.

The free spins scatter is a separate scatter that features a newspaper vendor yelling about the latest headline on the daily edition. It appears on reels three, four, and five and gives you access to the free spins bonus game.

Finally, a bonus scatter in the form of a magnifying glass looking closely at a clue allows you to enter the “Solve the Case” bonus game. This particular scatter appears only on reels one, two, and three.

Private Eye Bonus Games

Private Eye’s bonus games come in three forms. The first is the free spins bonus game, which works about how you would expect it to. You start off getting to pick from three different rows of newspapers, each with three choices per row. The first row has different numbers of free spins, the second has your multiplier for the spins, and the third has an extra cash prize. When you pick from each row, the value is revealed, and then the free spins (which can’t be re-triggered) are played out.

The Solve the Case bonus game gives you a shot of the private eye’s desk, with multiple clues showing, such as a picture of the damsel (complete with lipstick kiss), a gun, matchbook, police report, and notebook, among other items. You pick items one b one to reveal prizes until the telephone rings, signifying the end of the game.

If you are lucky enough to find a fingerprint, you win all of the prizes and trigger the third and final bonus game, the Mugshot Bonus game. In this game, you see mugshots of five different individuals, and you simply choose one to reveal a cash prize. With the right amount of luck in the bonus games, you can win a tidy sum very quickly.

Private Eye Final Thoughts

Private Eye is a very unique and fun video slot that takes a fresh, imaginative angle with its theme. The bonus games are both very cool to play and can reward you handsomely, and the multiplier and cash bonuses available with free spins are very good additions, as well. It’s a mystery why anyone would choose not to give this one a try.

The Rat Pack takes you back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and the others, with a world full of swing music, fancy outfits, and dazzling performances. Of course, in typical Microgaming style, it’s not the members of the infamous group of pals that are immortalized in this video slot, but actual rats who loosely play the parts of the real life Rat Pack.

You can play this Microgaming video slot at all Microgaming-based online casinos, including Casino Action, Bet365 Casino, River Belle Casino, and many others.

The Rat Pack Basic Information

The Rat Pack features symbols of tuxedo-clad mice playing the piano, singing tunes, dancing animatedly, and so on. Vibrant colors are accented throughout with spotlights and glittery effects, even with the sparkly 10, J, Q, K, A symbols, which feature golden instruments next to them, as well.

You’ll hear some fun, upbeat swing style music as you play, too. The music, along with the animations and sound effects, really add to the fun of the game as you play and make your best effort to win one of the game’s larger prizes.

The Rat Pack Coin Values and Jackpots

Coin values in The Rat Pack can be set at multiple amounts, including 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 15 cents, and a maximum of 25 cents. In addition, since you can bet 10 coins per line on the game’s 30 paylines, you can bet up to $75 per spin or play all paylines for just 30 cents (all values given in CAD).

The largest regular jackpots in the game are 1,000 coins, but with a 10 coin per payline bet, they are worth 10,000 coins. Furthermore, you can win up to 30,000 coins with the help of the free spin feature.

The Rat Pack Jackpot Rules

While 1,000 coins as a base value isn’t the largest jackpot around, what’s nice in The Rat Pack is that three different symbols can give you that prize instead of just one or two. There are three rats in the game who are shown on stage singing, with different poses and background colors (red, orange, and green). All three give you 1,000 coins when you get five on an active payline.

The Rat Pack Special Symbols

Like I mentioned earlier, the wild and scatter symbols are really the key to huge payouts in this game.

There are actually two wild symbols in The Rat Pack, one of which is the game’s logo and substitutes for any other symbol but the scatter, as you might expect. However, the second wild symbol is a 2x symbol, and not only serves as a wild symbol, but also doubles your win.

The scatter symbol is a golden record, and when you get three or more of them, you trigger free spins. In the free spins, all of the scatters are held in place while the other reels spin normally. Then, the scatters nudge down one spot and the reels spin again. This continues until there are no more gold record symbols visible on the reels.

The Rat Pack Final Thoughts

The Rat Pack is a solid video slot that is great for players who aren’t easily wooed by glossy bonus features, but instead just want a nice, basic slot game where you can win a decent amount of money. Furthermore, the fun theme is very original and the presentation, as usual from Microgaming, is top notch.

Shoot! takes the world’s most popular sport and somehow crams it into an appealing video slot that can be truly enjoyed by fans in Canada and around the world. In Shoot!, you will take the pitch along with soccer legends and hope to not only score goals, but also an abundance of coins, as well.

This fun Microgaming video slot can be played at any casino running on Microgaming’s software, such as Casino Kingdom, Cabaret Club Casino, Vegas Joker Casino, and many others.

Shoot! Basic Information

Shoot! not only takes you into the world of soccer, but features undisputed legends of the game, such as Pele, Diego Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer, George Best, and Kevin Keegan. The players in the game are immortalized as symbols that have the style of collectable trading cards. There are also other appropriate symbols, such as noise makers held by excited fans and, of course, soccer balls.

Furthermore, aside from the great symbols, trading card theme, and authentic crowd roar sound effects, this game is notable for having 50 different paylines that can grant you with nice winnings on any spin.

Shoot! Coin Values and Jackpots

Like many other Microgaming slots, Shoot! is highly customizable in terms of your wager amounts. You can bet on all fifty lines for just 50 cents, or step it up to $100 by betting 20 coins per line on all of the lines with a max coin value of 10 cents. Coin values can be set at 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, and 10 cents.

The highest regular jackpot in the game is 150,000 coins, which is based off of 1 coin per payline bet. With a 20 coin per payline bet, you could instead win 3,000,000 coins!

Shoot! Jackpot Rules

To win the 150,000 coin base jackpot, you have to get five of the game’s wild symbols on a single, active payline. The wild symbol is the Shoot! logo, by the way. There is also a 200,000 jackpot when you get five of the scatter symbol across an active payline. You can win even more by getting a winning combination during the free spins round, where wins are doubled automatically.

Shoot! Special Symbols

As mentioned before, the wild symbol is the Shoot! logo, which also features a soccer ball in it. The wild symbol will substitute for any symbol besides other special symbols.

The scatter symbol is represented by a pair of soccer trading cards with the word “BONUS” written on the bottom of the symbol. If you get three or more scattered anywhere on the reels, you trigger the Shoot! bonus game.

Shoot! Bonus Games

Shoot!’s bonus game is the Trade ‘Em bonus game, where you pick four out of twelve soccer trading cards to reveal the hidden prizes beneath. Best of all, you can actually trigger two other bonus games from within the Trade ‘Em bonus game, too.

The two bonus games that can be triggered are the Free Spins game and the Magazine bonus game. In the free spins game, you get a random number of free spins with which to get free prizes, while all of your wins are doubled during them. The Magazine bonus game allows you to flip through old school soccer magazines to reveal prizes before hitting a dreaded red card symbol that will end the game and send you back to normal play.

Shoot! Final Thoughts

Even those who are not huge soccer fans will enjoy Shoot! for its large jackpots, reasonable wagering amounts, fifty paylines to play, and fun bonus games. Fans of the sport, however, will love the game even more for the way it incorporates a fun theme and legendary players into a very good slot experience.
