Git yer gold at 49er Casino! New slots worth a looksee!

February 19th, 2007

We were pleasantly surprised this week with the quality of the latest 5-reel slots games launched at 49er Casino – (yeah, yeah, the rootinest, tootinest, casino still accepting US players… and hosted by Yosemite Sam the wild west cartoon character).

We’ve previously been fairly ‘sniffy’ about the slots on offer at Real Time Gaming software-based casinos and tended towards playing their blackjack and table game selections only (some of the fastest to play on the net).

Try a couple of these new games – they’re quite stylish and if you’re missing playing at Microgaming casinos as a US Player, these might just make you feel a bit better. The Louisiana and NY-based members of our CasinoLabRat.com test team were almost relieved to be able to play slots of this calibre again…

You can play for free to suss them out or for play real money if you like them.

1. Treasure Chamber is a bit of an adventure with a galant explorer and his female side-kick trying to unlock ancient treasures. A twist is added with a shifting symbol – it comes up as a question mark and dissolves once all icons from the 5 reels are displayed to reveal more potentially winning icons. 3 or more roses triggers the bonus feature – lots of free spins on this game.

2. Enchanted Garden is a pretty girlie slot with the nice touch of Ivy growing up the dividers in the 5-reel slot. If you like unicorns, butterflies, crystals and enchanted fountains this slot is worth a look.

3. Crystal Waters made me feel like abandoning mid-winter for a tropical dive holiday. Coral, sea horses, turtles and dolphins…

4. Tiger Treasures has some really great graphics. I know we blogged on this slot yesterday (Chinese New Year) but it really is worth a look. I especially like the snarling tiger and the tiger lilies – but if you like Pandas you’ll like it too. This 5-reel is fun to play.
