US Players Get FIVE New Slots

Those of us who live in the US can sometimes feel like we get fewer brand new games at our online casinos. Well, not this month; Vegas Technology, RealTime Gaming, and Rival have all made sure that the summer will be every bit as hot as forecasted with their completely new online slots.

• RTG’s Ocean Dreams is exactly what you need to beat the heat: 5 reels and 25 paylines at your own private tropical island. Mingle with the fish and seahorses and dry off on the beach with a re-triggerable Free spins Bonus; the worse you do, the better with the Win-Win Bonus Feature! Throw in a pair of random ‘progressive’ jackpots and you’ll have a new favorite island getaway. Try it out at Slots Oasis today!

• Rival wishes you the Best of Luck, and even gives you the horseshoes, wishbones, four-leaf clovers, and rabbit’s feet to make it happen. Best of Luck is, of course, the new 5-reel, 25-line slot game from Rival, and it comes with a very lucky twist: each Free Spin triggers a Bonus Feature based on one of the six lucky symbols. Think of this as (lucky) seven games in one, and head over to Black Diamond Casino (where luck hangs out!).

Last and the opposite of least, Vegas Technology has THREE new slots to tempt you: La Cucaracha, Hurdy Gurdy, and Big Time!

• La Cucaracha brings you tequila and hot peppers — and makes worms and roaches as cute as possible — in this Tex-Mex-themed online slot machine. Starting with a cool 5-reel, 25-line game, and a lukewarm rendition of the title song, the Hot Chili Bonus Feature and Free Games will heat you up plenty. Crazy Slots will be happy to take you over the border!

• We’re not sure what “Hurdy Gurdy” has to do with this pastoral and vaguely Dutch theme (tulips, windmills, clogs…and, uh, waffles, cheese, and cows). However, this 5-reel, 25-line slot game is fun and extremely lucrative to play (even the minor wins are bigger than usual). The re-triggerable Free Spins Feature is great, but the second-screen bonus, where you get the cow to kick the milk buckets, is one of the most amusing Bonus Features that we’ve seen in a long time!

• Finally, there’s Big Time. Yep, it’s a 5-reel, 25-line hip-hop-themed game with all of the most obvious stereotypes you could expect: graffiti, bling, boom boxes, handcuffs and hos, and pimped rides (the subject of the second-screen Bonus Feature, where you customize and then Bounce Off against another car for all sorts of free spins and multipliers). Go Casino fo dat azz, yo. Peace out!

Microgaming’s July Threesome

Microgaming does it again. The undisputed world champion of new slots releases yet another triple-header, available at all Microgaming partners in July (may we suggest All Jackpots or 7 Sultans?).

• Dragon Lady — never settling for subtlety, Microgaming’s latest Asian-themed 5-reel, 40-line slot game has all the fans, lanterns, dragons, and Mahjong tiles you might expect. However, what you may not expect are four different scatters and a potential 100x bonus from the Magical Dragon Bonus game (second screen and very cool-looking).

• Lion’s Pride — if you love Mega Moolah’s look but prefer a non-progressive, Lion’s Pride will give you 5 reels and 100 paylines of safari satisfaction. Toss in a gamble feature and up to 10x multipliers, and the stacked wilds and up to 25 free spins can be triggered an re-triggered for a potential jackpot of up to $125,000.00!

• Argyle Open — there’s always one sport-themed slot in the mix, but we’ve never seen one this interesting (and we mean EVER). 5 reels and 40 lines with good-looking golf-themed symbols make for a solid basic slot game, and re-triggerable free spins and multipliers make it something special. However, it’s the interactive three-round golf tournament mode (with high-quality video game golf gameplay) that really has us excited!

Are we in danger of taking for granted that Microgaming will keep providing three new high-quality slots each month?

Maybe. That’s what happens when you set the bar so high. But until they give us a reason to doubt them, we’ll keep expecting each new month to deliver the goods!

Triple Threat: June Releases from Microgaming

Halloween means a spooky slot, Christmas a slot with Santas and reindeer. What does June mean?

• If you’re a football fan, this June is all about the World Cup in South Africa. The clever developers at Microgaming gave the world’s favorite game some of the African whimsy of Mega Moolah in Soccer Safari (why “soccer”? Americans can’t even play Microgaming slots! Oh well…). The results are great, with 5 reels, 30 paylines, and a host of features including a re-triggerable Free Spins round with Held Wilds. A second-screen bonus feature offers the drama and action right at the goal. Soccer Safari is already online and ready to go at Spin Palace!

• If you’re believe June is the month for lovers, Microgaming has just the city for you. Voila slots takes you to Paris and showers you with scenes of love (and food, bien sûr). And because all is fair in love and slots, this 5-reel slot has NO paylines but instead uses the “Ways” system, so-called because you get 243 different Ways to win. Re-triggerable free spins and a gambling bonus feature, too! For the full francophone experience, play Voila Slots at Casino Tropez, where the Z is always silent…

• Sure, we could make some sort of clever connection between June and High Speed Poker, but we feel it would be stretching the theme too far. Plus, we’re all out of ideas and we can’t wait to play. High Speed Poker takes the fast-paced dynamics of 3-card poker and ups the ante with up to 5 hands at the same time. Need more? How about the option to bet on the cards you’ll get on the next deal (what color, what suit, whether it will be an Ace, a 6, a Jack, etc.)? If only for irony’s sake, play Microgaming’s latest table game at All Slots Casino.
