Virgin Casino, for sometime now, had been adding one casino game at a time to its portfolio. Hence, it came as a pleasant surprise when they announced three casino games in one go, to their online casino portfolio. For the players, the new three online casino games bring the much needed variety, as the games announced lately belong to different categories altogether.

The first one is an online slot named Hole in the Wall. This game is named after the television game show of the same name. In the television show, players have to jump through odd shaped holes in a moving wall in order to avoid being pushed it into a pool of water. Those who’ve watched the TV show at least once will easily recognize the game symbols on the reels. The actual feat of jumping through the hole, on the wall, is simulated in the bonus game. The players are depicted as cartoon characters, but with the full gear worn by players in the television series. Action replay was an important part in the TV show, and here, in the game, the Replay symbol awards scatter payouts and a free spin. Further, Hole in the Wall bonus symbol triggers the bonus round.

Players begin with a base payout, and each time a team member manages to clear the wall in the animated bonus game, the base point is multiplied as per a given schedule. The audio is taken from the TV show, and you’ll certainly notice the splashing sound when a team member falls into the pool.

The second game is Grand Roulette, another addition to the many roulette games in Virgin Casino. It is based on the standard European roulette wheel. In this game, bets can be saved as favorites for future spins. Multi draw function lets the same bets be played over and over in an automated fashion. Arc bets allow players to cover a series of numbers as they appear on the wheel. Other notable features in the game include turbo speed, zoom view, special bets, and customizing the color of the layout.

The third one, an addition to the Instant Win game section is 4 Play Hi Lo Bingo, wherein players win by predicting whether the next number will be higher or lower. Further, players could win bonuses for completing horizontal or vertical lines on a bingo grid.

Virgin Casino is driven by software from WagerWorks, and is licensed in Alderney.

Rival Gaming has announced an Irish themed online slot game, named Shamrock Isle, on St. Patrick’s Day. Typical of Rival Gaming’s slots, the game begins with an animated video clip, wherein a leprechaun is getting ready for some mischief. The said clip is set within a bright green emerald, which is just appropriate since Emerald Isle is another name for Ireland. As the leprechaun reaches the glade which forms the background to the reels there is a shower of gold. It will be noted that the backgrounds of the symbols are transparent, and hence when the reels spin, the entire green glade becomes visible.

The leprechaun is the wild symbol offering the highest fixed jackpot worth 5000 coins. The wild also doubles payouts. During the free spins round, the wild symbol appears only on the first three reels, but appears as expanding wilds and results in super payouts. The other symbols are crown, harp, pot of gold, shamrock and Unicom, all of definite Irish flavor. The high value cards have an ornate green and gold design, which are the primary colors of the leprechaun. Further, in winning combinations, a green shamrock border appears around the symbols.

The free spins round is triggered by the harp symbol. Three harp symbols offer 10 free spins and four harp symbols offer 20 free spins, while five of them offer a whooping 125 free spins. Payouts are tripled during free spins. Further, the pot of gold symbols activates the bonus game on the second screen.

Shamrock Isle gives players a choice of three games. Among those, Coin Grab seems to be an interesting game, wherein players are expected to grab gold coins falling from the sky and put it in a wallet. Players receive bonus credits for each gold coin they collect. However, this effort is not without challenge. If to win bonus credits as mentioned, players need to do this before the leprechaun does the same. It is not easy. Road Bowl and Skittles are the other two games. In Road Bowl, players have to aim at flags and get bonus credits depending on how many they hit, while Skittles have players throw pins at skittles and win bonus credits depending on how many pins stick to the target.

Shamrock Isle is Rival Gaming’s first Irish themes slot game. The game has 20 pay lines and allows players to wager up to 10 coins per pay line. The coins size ranges from $0.01 to $0.25. Shamrock Isle currently runs in all Rival Gaming online casinos.

Slot machines have certainly become far more diverse in terms of themes as we have entered the era of the online video slot machines. With new companies entering the fray in the last couple of years, some have even begun to challenge Microgaming for the most interesting and innovative ideas coming out of the slot machine production markets every month.

This month, Rival Gaming certainly can lay claim to that title with an interesting video slot machine that will take many people back to their childhood. It is called Candy Cottage and as the name might imply to some it is based off the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. In the fairy tale, the two children are trapped in a house of candy by a wicked witch and are only able to escape at the end of the story. In the Rival Gaming slot machine, players will see the introduction show the two kids walking and getting trapped by the witch just before the game actually starts up.

Once the game has started up, it is business as usual as far as the online video slot machine is concerned. There are 20 pay lines and 10 coins per line for a maximum bet of 200 coins on each and every spin that takes place. Coin sizes can range from a penny per coin to a quarter per coin and that essentially means that if you do the math you will see that the maximum prize that can be won from this machine is $6250.

Candy Cottage is a beautiful online video slot machine that has enough symbols on the reels that it does not have to refer to the age-old technique of reproducing card ranks as symbols on the reels. It is also a slot machine that is similar enough by the numbers to others that people won’t have any difficulty in grasping the strategies for playing it. For both of these reasons, Rival Gaming certainly believes that they have hit one out of the park as far as this online video slot machine is concerned.

Only time will tell if they are correct in this assertion.

It is after a long time that Microgaming had come up with less than three games for a month. Yes, in March 2010, Microgaming had announced only two slots, the 30 payline video slot game called CashOccino, and Triple Action Hold’em Bonus Poker.

The first one, as the name suggests, is a coffee themed slot game, as one could easily deduce from the myriad hues of coffee color the interface has. Only the aroma is missing. The game symbols are the logos of brands of coffee and high value card symbols in coffee color. The Wild symbol is an international coffee brand, while gold coffee symbol is the Scatter symbol. CashOccino has excellent fixed jackpot payouts. Managing to get five wild symbols on an enabled payline will result in a payout of 10,000 coins. The maximum line bet works out to $1, with a maximum coin denomination of $0.05, and a maximum wager of 20 coins per payline. The other thematic symbols in CashOccino have a jackpot payout ranging from 5000 coins to 10000 coins.

Further, three or more scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins feature, which offers 15 free spins at tripled payouts. But the noteworthy feature of CashOccino is the Extra Bet feature, which lets the players opt for an additional investment of 50%, in exchange of more rewards. That is, the players could win additional coins with winning combinations during the regular/feature games. Along with scatter payouts, they will get 1 free spin, when 2 gold coffee scatters symbols appear on the reels. In short, instead of 15 free spins, the players could enjoy 30!

The second one, an addition to the Gold Series table games, is a popular genre in Microgaming online casinos, thanks to its crisp graphics. Triple Action Hold’em Bonus Poker is a single-player poker game played with an unusual deck of 28 cards, containing only Eights, Nines, Tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces. While the game is about competing against the dealer to make a higher ranking poker hand, the game also offers a number of bonus bet options, to add more spice to the wagering.

The new games are available at all Microgaming online casinos.

The appearance of the former triggers free spins with tripled payouts, while the hydrants trigger the bonus game on the second screen.
