Two New Slots at Platinum Play Casino
Coming in June, which is just a few days away, Platinum Play Casino will have two new online slots. The slots are designed by Microgaming, like all of the games at that casino. One of the two of them also looks really good to me.
The two new online slots are Soccer Safari and Voila. First I’ll start with the Voila slot. It has a French theme and seems a little generic. Keep in mind that I have yet to play it, but it seems like it simply has symbols of various things you associate with France. There’s nothing wrong with that and it could be a good game, but it’s not something that excites me in an online slot.
The Voila slot features symbols of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc Triomphe, Champs Elysees, different French food and more. It’s kind of a tourism-themed slot, which is kind of a common theme. Once it is available I will play this game but it’s not the one that excites me. What excites me is the Soccer Safari game.
The World Cup is coming to Africa in June and Soccer Safari plays up that theme to hilarious effect. It is a cartoon theme that features various African animals playing soccer. So you get to see giraffes, lions, leopards, elephants and more on the soccer field. Personally, I think giraffes would be best as goalies, considering their long reach with that neck.
Soccer Safari is a 5-reel, 30-payline online slot. Voila, on the other hand, doesn’t have traditional paylines. Instead, it offers 243 ways to win. It has a 30,000-coin jackpot, compared to 40,000 coins for Soccer Safari.

Tally Ho Slot at Roxy Palace Casino
Unless you’re talking about going to a singles bar, I’ve never been fox hunting. It’s not really my thing, but is a common pastime for rich English aristocrats. Of course, fox hunting is practiced in many countries, but I always associate it with the British. Anyway, for those who are unaware, “tally ho” is what you shout when you see a fox during the hunt.
The Tally Ho slot at Roxy Palace Casino captures the atmosphere and tradition of a fox hunt. It has fancy luxury cars, tea sets, a bugle that is sounded to signal sighting of a fox, a cheese spread to go with wine, and more. There are also symbols of two aristocrats, with one male (in a suit and with a pipe in hand) and a female. The twist is that those aristocrats in the fancy clothes are foxes. Literally. So who are they hunting? Other foxes? Humans? I’m not sure.
Tally Ho is a 5-reel, 9-payline video slot. The online slot features a variety of bonuses, such as up to 10 free spins as well as multiplier bonuses of up to 4 times your wager. There is also a gamble feature in the slot. Every time you win money, you have the option of gambling it for a chance to double or quadruple your winnings. Of course, if you guess wrong, you lose your money.
The Tally Ho slot features a free-spin bonus feature, but there is no second-screen bonus game. The game has a 6,000-coin jackpot, which may be reason enough to play it.

Dolphin King Slot at Online Vegas
To be honest, I’ve never really thought about what system of government dolphins would have. If anything, I guess I considered them anarchists – animals with no government at all. We know that lions have a monarchy and I always thought of apes as kind of a hippie commune. Dolphins I never really thought about except that they seemed rather lawless (given their penchant for gang rape).
It seems that dolphins live under a monarchy as well, though, according to a slot I played today at Online Vegas Casino. The game is called Dolphin King and it is a fun online slot set in an underwater universe where the king of the sea seems to be a dolphin – not a mermaid, as I was led to believe in that Disney movie. Or maybe he’s just a king of the dolphins…
Anyway, the Dolphin King online slot has a background of the sea bed with a crowned dolphin, swimming fish and a treasure chest filled with pearls. The slot has symbols of various types of fish, a conch shell, a pearl, a starfish, a Dolphin King (you can tell by the crown) and more.
Dolphin King is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.05 to $5. The online slot has a 5,000-coin jackpot. The slot game features a multiplier bonus and awards up to 20 free spins. When the Dolphin King is used in a winning combination, he issues some sort of command in dolphin squeaks. Unfortunately, I don’t understand their language, so I don’t know what he’s saying.
A negative about the game is that it doesn’t have a second-screen bonus game, though. It would be nice if we got a bonus game where we got to observe the king a little more. Even without a bonus game, it is a fun slot to play.

Flying Colors Slot at Sloto’ Cash Casino
With Memorial Day approaching, Sloto’ Cash Casino has decided to recognize the American soldiers of the past who fought for freedom and made the ultimate sacrifice for the benefit of future generations. It is an online slot with a World War I theme – an aerial WWI theme, to be exact.
The game is called Flying Colors and it is a slot that pays tribute to the brave fighter pilots of the War to End All Wars. Interestingly enough, I read a lot of articles about this game before I found it online to be able to play it myself. In most of those articles, the slot was incorrectly referred to as having a World War II theme. That is not the case. The first thing that tipped me off is that all of the fighter planes in the game are biplanes. Sure, there were a few biplanes still being used at that time, but they were in the minority, since the militaries had gone with more advanced aviation technology. I mean, how can you make a game with a World War II fighter pilot theme without having a P-51 Mustang? You can’t.
This online slot, folks, is set during World War I. Just thought I’d clear that up. Flying Colors is an online slot with a World War I aviation theme. The background is of the sky, with the title written in red and white. The slot has symbols of various fighter planes, aviators, medals of honor, and women in uniform who are probably operating the radio. The slot symbols have a cartoonish quality, particularly with the characters having disproportionately large heads.
Flying Colors is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $0.10 per line. The slot has a $10,000 maximum jackpot. The online slot offers a multiplier bonus of two times your bet as well as an opportunity for free spin bonuses. The slot also features a second-screen bonus game, where you can win up to an additional $4,000. I haven’t actually gotten to that bonus game yet, though, so I can’t say what it is.
I don’t know whether it’s really patriotic to play a war-themed online slot with cartoon-like characters. I don’t know if it honors the fallen heroes. It probably doesn’t really do anything good or bad. However, if you find the theme interesting, whether it has anything to do with the coming Memorial Day, you should try the slot.

Vegas Party Slot at VIP Slots
Las Vegas is definitely a special city. It is unique in how fake, over the top, extravagant and, well, fun it is. Las Vegas, for better or worse, is like a better version of reality. It is a version that is bigger and glossier. People come to Las Vegas casinos not just to gamble, but to take in the atmosphere. It is that atmosphere that VIP Slots Casino tries to recreate with their Vegas Party slot.
The Vegas Party online slot, designed by Vegas Technology, plays up everything that is good or bad (depending on who you ask) about Sin City. The online slot has a background that shows dice, a large neon sign and the name of the game written in lights. The game has symbols of dice, a cocktail waitress, a man in a tuxedo, fancy sports car, a martini, and more. Though the slot has not multiplier, it does offer up to 15 free spins as bonus.
Vegas Party is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $5 per line. The online slot has a pretty large jackpot – a 9,000-coin jackpot to be exact. The car is the scatter symbol and it can unlock a free-spin bonus game, where all wins are multiplied and you have a chance for big bucks.

Slottery Tournament at Super Slots Casino
Even if they come with a small prize pool, I think that slot tournaments are almost always worth playing. If they’re freeroll tournaments, you have absolutely nothing to lose, since it costs nothing to play. Even if there is an entry fee, it is almost always going to be a low amount and you pay that for a shot at prize money. This week, there several different tournaments going on at Super Slots Casino, with one being an online slot tournament.
The slot tournament is one of the casino’s popular Slottery tournaments. The Slottery began on May 16 and runs until May 23, meaning there is still plenty of time to enter and accumulate enough points to win. In this tournament, players compete for the pot, so there is more money up for grabs the more people enter. The Slottery has an entry fee of $5 and the top 40 players will share the pot.
The Slottery tournament is being played in the X Marks the Spot slot game, which is an online slot with a pirate theme. It is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot that has decent payouts and offers up to 15 free spins as bonuses, which gives you a good opportunity to add to your point total.
If you decide you want to take a break from playing online slots (hey, it happens), there are plenty of other tournaments going on. Super Slots Casino is also holding the Wheel Deal tournament, which is a roulette tournament that ends May 20. There is also the Jacks or Better Challenger video poker tournament, which also ends on May 20 and has a $5 entry fee. For fans of online blackjack, there is a Head2Head blackjack tournament played on the Vegas Strip Blackjack game.

Grandma’s Attic Slot at Sloto’ Cash Casino
Remember when you were a kid and your parents dropped you off at Grandma’s house? You tried to act like everything was normal and play, but instinctively you knew that an old person’s house was strange and mysterious. In some ways it was exciting and in other ways it was scary. So when Grandma fell asleep in her rocking chair, you head upstairs and sneak into the attic to look around because if Grandma is hiding something in the house, it would be in the attic.
No? Was that just me? I don’t think so, because the Grandma’s Attic slot at Sloto’ Cash Casino takes on that exact story. Well, most of the story, anyway. The online slot has a background that is dark and covered with spider webs. The slot features symbol of rats, a nasty recliner, a crown, food (I wouldn’t recommend eating it), jewelry, a skeleton and more…Wait, I thought the skeleton was supposed to be in the closet, not the attic.
Grandma’s Attic is a 5-reel, 15-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $0.50 per line. The game has a 7,500-coin jackpot, which varies in dollar amount depending on your wager. This online slot does not have a multiplier bonus, but it does offer up to 10 free spins. There is also a second-screen bonus game called the Grandma’s Attic Bonus Round (I know, clever name).
The Grandma’s Attic Bonus Round is unlocked by the skeleton key. In this bonus game, you are brought to a second screen set in the attic. You see several chests scattered throughout the attic. Some chests have bonus money hidden within and some have keys inside. The keys can be used to unlock other chests. You then choose which chests to try to open and the bonus game is over when you run out of keys.
Overall, the Grandma’s Attic slot is a fun game, though I am still wondering why Grandma has fruit up there. It still looks fresh, too. Anyway, to play the Grandma’s Attic slot, visit Sloto’ Cash Casino today.
Coyote Cash Slot at Rushmore Casino
I grew up with Looney Tunes, which you know if you have read my slot reviews where I rambled on and on about Marvin the Martian, Bugs Bunny, etc. One of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid was the series with Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. Also, whether I was supposed to or not, I always rooted for the coyote. I felt bad for him and wished he would finally catch the roadrunner someday. It never happened.
Today I was browsing the online slot selection at Rushmore Casino and came across the Coyote Cash game. The game isn’t directly based on the Looney Tunes cartoon, but it definitely is reminiscent of my childhood TV show. The game is set somewhere in the American southwest and the main character is a coyote bandit with a sneaky smile, pistol and bandanna. I think if Wile E. had ever gone low-tech and tried using a gun instead of an ACME rocket or dynamite he might have been more successful.
Instead of a roadrunner, though, the coyote is after an armored car being driven by an eagle (or maybe it’s supposed to be a leghorn…). The car is full of cash and the coyote wants it. I’m not sure what he would buy with it. Wile E. Coyote only ever bought stuff from the ACME store that he used to try to catch the roadrunner. Aside from getting that bird, I don’t know of anything else he wanted.
The Coyote Cash slot also features symbols of a crazy-looking snake with a knife in its mouth (isn’t a snake dangerous enough without a knife?), the armored truck, a cactus, steer skull and more. The online slot’s background shows a southwestern desert and it’s done well enough that when I play the game I feel like I’m going to break out in a sweat.
Coyote Cash is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $5 per line. The slot’s jackpot is 10,000 coins, which varies in dollar amount depending on your bet. The online slot has a variety of bonuses, such as a multiplier bonus of up to 4 times your bet and up to 20 free spins.
One negative about this slot game is that it doesn’t have a second-screen bonus game. If there was a slot that begged for an animated bonus game, it’s this one. It could be the coyote chasing the armored truck and running into mountainside or off a cliff or blowing himself up or having a rock dropped on his head… I can go on and on and I don’t want you to think that I enjoy watching animals get hurt, but in a cartoon setting it can be entertaining.

Treasure Nile Slot at Villento Las Vegas
There are several different Egyptian-themed online slots that I can think of off the top of my head. Most of them I enjoyed playing. Treasure Nile is one such slot.
The Treasure Nile online slot, which can be found at Villento Las Vegas casino, has an Egyptian theme (the Nile river flows through Egypt, along with other African countries). The online slot has symbols of a hooded cobra, pyramids, a scroll etched with hieroglyphics, an Egyptian necklace, a pillar, Anubis (a jackal-headed Egyptian god), a scarab and more.
The symbols are all associated with the ancient Egyptians and even if you don’t remember them from history class, you would recognize them if you watched Stargate or remember that Bangles song “Walk Like an Egyptian.”
Treasure Nile isn’t a new slot. In fact, it is the first 5-reel, 9-payline video slot that Microgaming ever produced. For that reason, you could argue that this slot game, like the Egyptian artifacts it represents, has a historical significance. There is only one denomination ($0.50) allowed by the Treasure Nile slot, but you can wager that amount on anywhere from one to nine paylines. The Treasure Nile slot features a generous 6,000-coin jackpot.
There are a couple negatives with the Treasure Nile slot, such as the lack of a gamble bonus game or a free spin bonus game. However, there are a lot of positives, such as its high progressive jackpot (which starts at $4,000), and its well-animated symbols, its abundance – considering its progressive nature – of winning combinations.
The Treasure Nile slot is a bit of a classic in the online casino community. Microgaming is one of the leaders in the gaming software industry and this was a first for them. To take a spin on a classic slot, visit Villento Las Vegas today.
Sir Winsalaot Slot at Roxy Palace
I’ve always been a fan of King Arthur, the knights of the Round Table, Sir Lancelot and all of that stuff. As a kid I love Disney’s The Sword in the Stone and in college I read the book that inspired that movie, The Once and Future King, which I still think is the greatest version of the story.
For that reason, I loved playing the Winsalaot slot at Roxy Palace Casino. The online slot has a King Arthur theme, with a clever take on the name of Arthur’s top knight. The online slot has symbols of a knight (Sir Winsalaot), King Arthur, Lady Guinevere, Merlin, a jester, a musician, a treasure chest, Camelot and more.
Sir Winsalot is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $0.25 per payline. The slot has a $1,000-coin jackpot that has a variety of bonuses, such as up to 10 free spins and a multiplier bonus of up to 3 times your bet.
The Camelot castle symbol unlocks the Sir Winsalot Free Spins Bonus game, where you win up to 10 free spins and during those spins, all winnings are tripled. There is also an odd bonus game that is unlocked by the Party All Knight symbol, which seems to show a lighter side of the knighthood, where the knights get together, get drunk and party. In this bonus game, there are a variety of beer mugs to choose from and each contains a secret bonus. It is a strange bonus game, not because I doubt that knights drank, but because it’s not really the kind of thing you associate with the legend and with knights in general.
The Sir Winsalot slot has good animation and should be fun for anyone who is a fan of the source material. To play the Sir Winsalot slot, visit Roxy Palace Casino today.
