One of the latest additions
to the Microgaming slotmachines is this 5 reel 15 pay-line
slots game, Real Strike. The theme is deep sea fishing. This
slotmachine has a bonus game (with free spins and mystery
multipliers), a Scatter and a Wild symbol. The coin size
starts at only $0.01 and the maximum is $0.50 (with a maximum
of 10 coins per line and 15 lines that makes a maximum bet of
$75 per spin possible!). All wins pay left to right. The
jackpot is 10,000 times your line-bet when you hit 5 Wild.
symbols on an activated pay-line.
To
qualify for the bonus game you must have five Bonus symbols
displayed in a line, on an enabled payline. In the bonus game
six boats are displayed. Behind each boat is a random number
of free spins or the multiplier amount. You choose a boat and
your free spins or multiplier is displayed. You are guaranteed
a win during any of the free spins. The winnings in the bonus
game are already multiplied by the number of coins you are
betting per payline.
Slot machines fall into two categories,
Straight slot machine.- Slot machines that have set jackpot
payouts according to the machines' payout schedule.
For example.
If you are playing a straight quarter slot machine depending on it's
payout schedule, winning a jackpot by betting one quarter would give you
200 coins, a two quarter bet wins 600 coins and the max bet would win
you a jackpot of 2000 coins.
Progressive slot machine.- These slot machines have jackpots
which are tied into a bank of machines (more than one machine on a
row), a carousel of machines (group of machines on a round platform)
or even tied into other machines at different casinos.
Progressive slot machines will have an electronic board attached to
the top of the machine that displays the progressive jackpot. Each of
the slot machines in the progressive group, when played, increases the
progressive jackpot.
For example,
Say you walk into a casino and see a bank of "Wheel of Fortune"
progressive slot machines. You can see they are progressive by noticing
the payout schedule has progressive listed as the top jackpot.
Each time someone plays any machine on this progressive bank, the
electronic board displaying the jackpot increases.
When a player hits the progressive jackpot, they win whatever dollar
amount is listed on the electronic board.
Things to remember about progressive slots.
-The odds of winning are usually about 2% more. This really does not
matter since winning is a matter of luck anyway.
-Most importantly, in order to win the progressive jackpot you must
bet the maximum bet. If you don't feel comfortable betting the maximum,
I would chose a straight slot rather than playing a progressive slot
machine.
Even though the odds of winning on a progressive slot may only be a
tad bit more, there would be nothing worse then to be betting one coin
and hit the progressive jackpot, only to win a few hundred instead of
the thousands of dollars the max bet might return.

Desert Treasure Video Slot is a fast paced action packed 5 reel 20 line slot game with a desert theme, a wild and scatter symbol, and two bonus features. When you get three or more Bonus symbols on an active payline, you are taken to the Bonus round. There, you get to choose as many prizes as you had bonus symbols. Each prize has a different payout. Bonus payouts are multiplied by the line bet. The Wild symbol can stand for any other symbol (except Scatter and Bonus symbols), to make the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for several Wild symbols on an active payline. The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on a particular payline – if there are two or more of them on the game field, you get an additional win and if you get three or more scatter symbols, you get 10 free spins. The payout for scatter symbols is multiplied by your total bet, not the line bet.
