Following are descriptions and reviews of ten bonus slots for you to explore on your next casino adventure.
1) Jack and the Beanstalk: The base game is Double Diamond with wild symbols that double or quadruple the jackpots. On the top box is Jack’s beanstalk that is surrounded by 12 golden eggs bearing bonus amounts. Jack climbs the beanstalk whenever the player lands a Climb symbol after the 3-coin max. bet. If a Jack in the Beanstalk symbol appears on the reels, our hero climbs to the top and the golden eggs flash in sequence until landing on a random bonus amount. Lining up 3 Wild symbols will reward 10,000 coins but remember, you must play 3 coins to participate in the Jackpot Climb. You can bring home much more than beans with this fun game.
2) Jackpot Beach Party: Another Jackpot version and I’m thrilled. Five paylines with fruit, bell and three 7 combos. Three party horns get you an invite to the party bonus round accompanied by Caribbean music. Touch those tiles, mount up those credits and try to avoid the ‘Party Pooper’ symbol that ends your streak. Another party-hardy version.
3) Jackpot Limbo: Here’s a chance to watch the flamingo limbo for cash. This five-coin version has reel symbols of palm trees, beach balls, yellow suns and tropical drinks. Three Jackpot Limbo symbols anywhere in the pay window activate the bonus round. The player hears “It’s limbo time” and then the fun begins with the pink flamingo doing a limbo in the display above the winnings. Three successful limbos in a single bonus round and the player wins the contest. The limbo contest can last for up to three rounds, but can you?
4) Jackpot Stampede Deluxe: Free spins and double wild symbols. Join the stampede for this version. 3-reel single line with two separate wild symbols: the wild horseshoe on the center reel and a Double Wild symbol doubling the jackpot. Approx. every 80 spins, you line up 3 jackpot stampedes and you’ve won a chance at the bonus round ushered in by a wild cattle round up and five free spins. ‘Cash cows’ appear with more $$ on any reel, any position. Giddyup cowhand, head for the BBQ after you pocket your winnings.
5) Jazzy Jackpots: Cool Jazz plays when either the saxophone or gramophone symbols fall on an activated payline. The primary game consists of 3 or more scattered coin symbols that flip rapidly when they land in the pay window. The flipping stops when the player makes a selection with a sun symbol that transports the player to the second bonus ‘Jazz Club’. A saloon with two gaming machines awaits the player’s selection. One has a Lucky Wheel, the other is a 3-reel slot--each with its own special bonus. The Lucky Wheel rewards the player with free spin(s) and multipliers of 1X, 2X or 3X. The 3-reel slot rewards with 5 free games and a possible top jackpot of 45,000 coins. Smoooooooth and cool, daddio.
6) Jeopardy: the third reel of this progressive 25c slots played with max. coins triggers the bonus round when Jeopardy! or Double Jeopardy! symbols appear on the payline. You play Jeopardy among 30 bonus boxes until a stop displays the bonus amount or double depending on original spin. Primary jackpot is paid in installments. Progressive Jeopardy Nickels provide an instant win with max. coin and resets to $100,000.
7) Jumpin’ Joeys: Australian Aristocrat has another first -- 20 paylines! Wildlife characters: kangaroos (joeys), koala bears, kookaburra birds and the outback scenery bring on the bonus amounts. The landscape scene and daisy symbol on a payline will bring on Jumpin’ Joey to land on each jackpot symbol and rack up the points along the way. I like this version and plan to ‘jump’ on often.
8) Keep Your Hat On: Pull up a seat and catch this show. When the lights go down and the curtain goes up, one thing is certain: ‘Skin Wins’. This ‘not-so-shy’ video slot will keep players blushing and coming back for more. When 3, 4 or 5 scattered ‘Women’ appear, a fully clothed man appears on the screen. You pick a box to remove an article of clothing. If all clothing is successfully removed, the total bonus can be multiplied 2 or 3 times. See for yourself what happens if you manage to remove all his clothes. It’s worth ‘peeping’.
9) King Galah: It’s bird watching with rewards. Spot the pink breasted Galahs to set off a special scattered feature. Catching sight of 3, 4 or 5 of the feathery characters anywhere pays off and when they perch on or near the center reels, there are additional rewards. If the birds roost on or above the centerline, wins are multiplied by two. If luck has them land on the centerline, the reward is multiplied by ten. There’s also a green lizard that acts as a wild card, substituting for all symbols except the birds. Adding to the game’s attraction are the sounds of lizards that hiss and birds that screech, plus the Double Up Feature.
10) King Putt: Nine paylines for this round of miniature golf. ‘King-Putt’, the top jackpot symbol activates the two bonus rounds. Three or more of these symbols produce an instant bonus round and bonus amount as per the player’s choice. Second-screen bonus starts up with three ‘castles’ and a mini-golf course scene. Putt your way through multipliers, bonus amounts to a potential ‘Castle Bonus’ of 13,500. Fore!
Until we meet again in the Slots Playground…
