New Slots Launched
posted 2/24/11 : Vegas Tech and WinADay launch new games
Online games developers Vegas Technology and WinADay have released a new slot apiece this week.
Vegas Tech's "Mile High" has a comical theme centred on air travel, replete with typical views of the world whilst flying high in the sky and some jolly pilots in charge of a jackpot that can deliver useful rewards, along with high-life symbols like international passports, expensive luggage and cocktails.
The game has two expanding Wild symbols – a lipstick-smeared passenger who is apparently a member of the Mile High Club, and a bodacious female cabin attendant. Scatters come from the airliner and kiss icons, delivering a choice of re-triggering free spin bonus rewards that apply a range of multipliers to winnings.
In the Kiss Kiss Kiss Bonus, players select a symbol that can deliver up to 50x the triggering bet.
WinADay's proprietary slot "Busted!" is a retro comic book-style cops and robbers adventure with a Bonus Game. The slot is really three games in one: a classic 17 pay line video slot, a Double Up round and a cops and robbers bonus game.
For the Cops and Robbers bonus game, players choose to be either a robber or a cop and then collect symbols related to their character. When all five special cop or robber symbols have been collected the bonus game begins. The Double Up bonus game – a chance to double winnings from the last spin – is triggered when the Double symbol appears on the rightmost wheel of a winning spin.
Like all slots games at Win A Day Casino, the new slot is tied to the site's progressive jackpot – currently sitting at just over $100,000.
Busted! will soon be followed by another new game, currently in the final stages of development and based on the Jacks or Better rules. WinADay now boasts a games inventory of 22 instant-play and unique slots, video poker, roulette and keno games.
In related news, the Royal Vegas Online Casino recently launched a new initiative that gives casino members the chance to play what it claims is a unique no download slot titled “Slots Hero" and win three online casino bonuses.
This game has four reels and no pay-line – an innovative development. At the bottom of each reel is a panel in which familiar slot symbols appear; from left to right Sevens, Cherries, Bells and finally Bars. Beneath these panels are corresponding key board keys, so that players an simply use keys to control the game.
When the reels are activated, the player tries to capture the appropriate symbol within its panel by hitting the corresponding key, winning points. Each symbol in the game represents either free cash, or a deposit bonus, and there are three levels from which players can progress, collecting bonuses as they go. The amount of symbols a player collects determines the rewards he or she achieves.
Regardless of their first-level score, players are allowed to continue through to the third level, with the objective of reaching the bonus level at each point. In addition, players reap further rewards for achieving the next level. The game can be repeatedly played until the gambler is satisfied with the bonus amount won as indicated at each level, at which point a cash out can be claimed – but only once for each player.
Players are then encouraged to post their highest Slots Hero score via the ‘High Scores' tab on the website, located within the Results section. The player must then enter his or her details. Once this has been done, the casino software has to be downloaded and installed in order to make use of the bonuses that have been awarded.
The Slot Hero initiative gives players a chance to take part in a live event directly from the website, claims the operator.
