Progressive slots are very similar to regular slot machines with one
difference, there is a jackpot that is constantly gaining in value. The
value of the jackpot is updated regularly and displayed at all times on
top of the screen. Progressive slots are a group of a great number of
slot machines that are linked together by a network. A small percentage
of the money that is wagered on each game on each machine in the
network, is added to the total progressive jackpot. Anyone playing any
machine in the network can win the jackpot.
One thing about progressive slots is that the Progressive Jackpot is
not shown in coins but it's shown in credits. For example, if the
progressive reads out 9,700 it means credits not that many coins. In
progressive slots the jackpots are considerably larger than regular
jackpots, some are large enough to be life changing.
There are two major things to remember about all progressive slots,
first the money for the jackpot comes from a part of the money played
through the machine and second is that in order to win the jackpot you
absolutely must be playing the maximum coins. If you don't want to play
the max then progressives are not what you want to play. The jackpot in
the progressive slots keeps growing until one lucky player hits it big.
After a progressive jackpot has been won the network of machines gets
reset to a pre-determined number and the play starts again. Always look
for the slot game with the biggest jackpot there is a better chance that
it will be won sooner. If you are that lucky player and you do win the
progressive jackpot then a splash screen will appear to let you know
that you have it.
What a lot of progressive slot players are not aware of is that
there are two levels of play, primary and secondary. A primary jackpot
is the very top jackpot that if offered when a player gets the
combination which will pay for the jackpot. The top or primary jackpot,
is the jackpot that shows the most money and is usually shown with a
bigger display than secondary jackpots. Secondary jackpots are displayed
much smaller but like the primary jackpots they still increase according
to the amount of play through money. The secondary jackpots are hit more
often so they don't usually have jackpots that are as large as the
primary. If both jackpots are high (primary and secondary) this
indicates that neither one have been hit, but have had a lot of play so
the chances of winning the jackpot sooner are much greater. A player has
many choices to make when they are about to play progressive slots, as
long as you know what you are looking for and are well informed on the
rules and payouts you should do very well.

Food Fight!
is a 5-reel bonus game slot machine. To view the pay table you
must click on the “Pay Table” button located next to
the red “Cash Out” button on the lower left side of
the machine. It may be played in denominations of 1¢, 5¢,
25¢, 50¢, $1, and $5. To play, put money in the machine
by clicking on the chips in the lower right corner and press
“Bet Max.” This will play the maximum bet (9 paylines
and 45 coins), giving you the maximum chance to win and automatically
spins the reels. If you’d like to play fewer lines or fewer
coins per line, just select the lines you want by using the “Select
Lines” and “Bet One” buttons. When you have the
bet you’d like, just press “Spin,” and wait for
a win. Win by lining up food icons on any of the nine pay lines.
Receive three pieces of an ice cream cone sundae (ice cream cone,
ice cream and ice cream topping) and watch them combine to give
you a bonus win! Get three pieces of a pie (Pie Plate, Pie Filling
and Cherry) anywhere on your screen and enter the food fight
bonus round, where you can finally get revenge on those people
from your past. Choose your victim, and when you’ve selected
your target, just click on the “hand” holding the pie
to let the splattering begin. You win the coins for each person
that you hit. Once you miss, the bonus game is over and you keep
the bonus that you have won thus far. The amount you win is dependent
on the total amount of coins you have played, so the more coins
you bet, the more you can win. All of the pays, with the exception
of the bonus game winners, are played from left to right. That
means that you win when you line up the icons starting from the
leftmost wheel. To see what each combination pays, just click
on the “Pay Table” button. Line up five pudding symbols
on any active pay line and win the progressive jackpot.
Surely when Charles Fey built his first slot machine in 1896 he never
could have envisioned where the contraption would travel and how it would
transmogrify. In fact, for a hundred years his innovation hardly changed
at all, except cosmetically. The external design, consisting of an ornate
metal box was wrapped around the mechanism and became fancier or plainer,
larger or smaller, in attempt to attract the eye. But as always, when
a player primed the machine with coins and pulled the handle, the reels
spun randomly and, governed by stoppers eventually came to a halt. Each
reel was decorated with a variety of symbols that, when matched according
to a pay schedule (printed somewhere on the face of the machine), the
player won; when no matching symbols appeared, the player lost.
Though Fey is given credit as the Father of the Slot Machine, prototypes
existed years before he came up with the idea of converting them into
gambling device--which he believed would enhance the profits on his sales
routes. These early "amusement devices" could be found in saloons where
polite society would not be exposed to them and where proprietors stood
on the edge of breaking the law.
These first apparatuses had a major drawback. They were designed in
such a way that after a certain number of coins were inserted the weight
of these coins would tip the scales and some of the stored coins from
previous play would spill out, thus providing a winner. It didn't take
long for street-smart players and wise guys to figure out that the coins
would come out automatically with a little pushing and shoving and slamming
the machine around. So it was back to the drawing board where clever
builders devised first a metal bar to help prevent "tilting," and then
came up with smaller devices that could be bolted to a counter top or
wall.
Meanwhile, in dignified establishments such as grocery stores and mercantiles,
a similar piece of equipment began popping up and being played by even
the snootiest of patrons. Called the trade simulator, this machine operated
much like other contemporary devices except that the winners produced
could be exchanged or traded for goods within the establishment--thus
the name "trade," perhaps a forerunner to the modern cents-off coupon.
Playing slots was (and is) both a tactile and sensory experience involving
the feel of the coins and the touch and pull of the handle. It involved
the sense of vision, the sense of hearing, and the innate sensation of
anticipation.
Winning and losing depended on a simple mechanism that included symbols
(usually fruit of some kind, perhaps bars and/or sevens, and of course
hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades, Fey's original choice) affixed to
the three reels and a shaft. With ten symbols per reel, the machine was
capable of a thousand possible combinations.
Tiger Treasures video slot is a 5 reel 20 line bonus feature slot game. The Tiger symbol is the wild substitute symbol and only appears on reels 2 and 4 in normal game play.

During the bonus game from 5 to 25 free games are awarded when 3 or more scattered LOGO symbols occur from left to right or right to left. During the bonus game Tiger Symbols are added to the remaining three reels and more Tiger Symbols may appear on reels 2 and 4. The bonus game can be re-triggered.
