Remember the 1989 quirky hit movie “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”? The team at Microgaming has just released their brand new no download slot game that’s based on the movie. (And, as Ted would say…Awesome!)
Join a Keanu Reeves (Theodore Logan), and Alex Winter (Bill S. Preston Esq.), two dodgy teenagers, as they travel through time encountering notable figures in history to help them graduate high school – and pursue their real dream – The Wyld Stalyns band.
Despite the truely bogus nature of the lead characters, this is game actually a highly advanced, interactive pub slot with a host of win features such as multi-line cascading reel wins (you know, where a win line vanishes so the reels reset potentially giving you more wins), two bonus feature games and a Wyld (wild) symbol. The game offers fixed win lines, so all 5 lines are permanently in play. It’s easy to play and fun.
Watch out for the time travelling telephone box (no, not the blue Dr Who one!). In this new slots game three phone boxes in view triggers a feature game, where you choose to target planets to shoot either manually or on auto-play. This “Circuits of Time Bonus round” pays 10 to 1000 times your original bet. The second bonus game is triggered at random (any spin can do it) and you get to choose to play the guitar or let Rufus do it for you. The notes determine your free spins and payout. You win WinSpins that can pay from 8x to 500x your original bet.
If you’re a Brit, bets between 10p and £10 are accepted on this medium volatility, 96% – 97% percentage average payout game, which can deliver a maximum payout of up to £70,000. (If you play in USD or CAD that’s like 10 cents to 10 dollars, paying a max of $70,000)
The New Bill and Ted Pub Slot requires no casino software to be downloaded and you can play it for free or for real at these 2 great online casinos:
Ladbrokes Casino (sorry, no US residents)
Strike it Lucky Casino (Players from around the world including US residents from 39 States are welcome)

New new new…
Just a quick blog post to tell you about the latest casino slots game I’ve been playing in July. I personally love this slot – and I don’t often say that! It’s new at top Irish online gambling site Paddy Power Casino and you can play it for free or for real money. Your call. But do play it as it’s great!
Davinci Diamonds Slot Game: new at Paddy Power Casino
If the tasteful Davinci style paintings (of course including the Mona Lisa) don’t appeal, the glittering emeralds, sapphires, rubies and diamonds are bound to. Very stylish indeed. A nice change for a casino slot game.
When you get a win line, Davinci Diamonds slot machine triggers the tumbling reels feature that explodes (dissolves?) the payline icons and lets the reel refill to give you another chance of winning off the same spin. Excellent.
There are wilds galore it seems to trigger win lines and you can win up to 300 free spins, which in my view is pretty wow. Bonus spins are triggered by 3 or more gold filigree ruby encrusted bonus symbols.
About Paddy Power Casino: (Sorry, no real money USA residents)
Paddy Power Casino offers something really different! The no download instant play casino games are fun and all games not only display real expected payout rates (like 99.8%) – but you can also play them all for free without registering if you like!
In my view, Paddy Power Casino has selected only the very best casino games to offer and while there are great classics like 6 different roulettes and 7 Blackjacks – try the unique slots games. Amazing.
Paddy Power Casino’s games are powered by Wagerworks software. They are Flash animation games and play directly in your browser window. Most PC operating systems (like XP, Windows and Vista) are supported, Mac users are recommended to use Safari.

Here’s a quick heads-up on some new online casino games to look out for in early July…
Two new slots and an excellent new Roulette game will be released at participating Microgaming Online Casinos (including Spin Palace Casino and Blackjack Ballroom Casino) from July 8th:
Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders Slot
If you like Big Kahuna (An ultra popular witch doctory themed game with sacrifices of fruit to the volcano gods – and an old favorite of mine!) the new Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders Slot Game adds yet another dimension to what was already a great fun game. The new release is still a five-reel online slot in format, and as you’d expect it’s got bright and cruisy graphics… but the clever developer Monkeys at Microgaming have added a Snakes and Ladders style bonus game. You can use the ladder as a booster on your mission to collect Big Kahuna’s Gold Mask – just like the board game. Watch out for those snakes though! (Snakes can never be good…)
Jolly Jester Slot Machine
This new slot game looks a lot of fun, especially if you’re feeling down. The game is based in a medieval castle with a King and Queen, and you can enjoy the Court Jester’s antics while trying for that tidy profit along the way! The Jolly Jester Slot Game is another five reel, 25 payline online slot game (Microgaming’s most popular style of slots game)
French Roulette Gold
In addition to the new slot machines outlined above, you can also look forward to the release of French Roulette Gold. This sophisticated table game is the latest high tech version of one of the most popular table games in Online Casino history – French Roulette – and it adds some great play features along with Microgaming’s industry-leading photo realistic table styling.

Ladbrokes Casino and Jackpot Factory’s Wild Jack Casino are among the first on the Internet to launch the latest game in the hugely popular Microgaming Gold series table games.
New Multihand Hold’em High, like all Microgaming Gold Series games, has outstanding photo realistic graphics that add dimension to online play. This sophisticated, top-of-the-line game really does set the benchmark for other casino software developers to attain in terms of smooth, fast realistic card action and generous gambling opportunities.
Designed to appeal to both casino and poker players, this new game combines in our view the best features of each, mixing stylish table game action with classic Texas Hold’em Poker.
Dealing from a single deck you can play up to 5 poker hands at once, using the community cards to complete your hands. The original 2 cards dealt must form part of the final hand for payout and the minimum win hand is 2 pair, Jacks or Better paying out at 1:1. The unlikely but occasional Royal Flush rewards you handsomely with a 500:1 payout. The side bet option in new Multihand Hold’em High can top up certain wins too (King & Ace of Spades pays 50:1, King & Ace suited 25:1, and any 2 cards of the same suit pays 5:2).
All in all, we think this makes for one of the more entertaining casino games – the team at CasinoLabRat.com has declared new Multihand Hold’em High a ‘gotta try it’ game.
(BTW: Our casino game ratings start at “not even with a long pole”, “don’t bother”, “yawn” and “they’ve got to be joking!” through to “fun, but not for long”, “yep, can get into this”, “gotta try it”, “you’ll love this” and “why play anything else?”).
Check out new Multihand Hold’em High – for free play for real money – in the “New Games” section at these two popular Microgaming casinos:
>>Ladbrokes Casino (Sorry, no US players – lots of currencies and a wide variety of payment methods are accepted at this popular and safe global gambling specialist)
>>Wild Jack Casino (Players from around the World including those from 39 States of the USA are welcome to become members at stylish Wild Jack Casino. Wild Jack is a member of the Jackpot Factory Group of online entertainment sites)

May 12th, 2008
On May 6th, Microgaming’s new Cashapillar, Sure Win, Alley Cats and Quest for Beer slot machines were released and we’ve been playing them ever since. HoldEm High, a cool new table poker game also has succeeded in taking up way more of our time (and money!) than we’d initially anticipated (and we’ll blog on this game separately soon, as it’s worth a detailed look).
So, what do we think of these new Microgaming slot releases? Well… overall, not as good as last month’s new slots – but still well worth a look, aand we’re damned fussy…and they are finally enticing enough to break the Tomb Raider II addiction I’d developed!
First up, Cashapillar – it’s gotta go first as it’s just so different! With like, a quizillion paylines this slot game is a bit weird (100 paylines and a 5×5 reel game grid) – and max bet is 1000 coins a spin. So you can win big – but also lose big really quickly! The max wins of up to 2 million coins when betting max and 6 million coins during free spins is amazing and in all our test play we always ended up with more money than when we started! Unusual.
Cashapillar’s game graphics depicting friendly insects all decked out for the catepillar’s 100th birthday party are a little odd. Sort of “Through the Looking Glass” stuff – rather trippy. I’m also not too sure about the New Orleans style birthday tune that plays on win lines. Annoying after a while. 3,4 or 5 bonus birthday cake symbols activates the free spins – and free spins can be retriggered during free spins! Yay!
So if you like snails, bees, butterflys horned beetles and catapillars…and the chance to win big – give Cashapillar slot game a whirl. If the very thought of bugs has you reaching for the bug spray – and a 100-payline line slot fills you with panic as you like to follow the payouts, then this one’s not for you!
The next new slot, Quest for Beer, features an axe throwing bonus game that is triggered by 3 or more scraggly but somehow comely blonde pigtailed girl (beer wench!). When a tankard of beer appears on reels 2,3 and 4 the free spins feature triggers. (10 free spins with winnings doubled – and in this game they can be retriggered within the free spins win! Yay! The bonus game can also be triggered within free spins – an even better yay!) Overall I dod not think much of the graphics and found this slot a bit boring after a couple of bonus games… yawn.
The Alley Cats Slot – you guessed it – features ten pin bowling cats! In the bonus round you do get to bowl over objects like a lava lamp, broken bottles and even a tied up little puppy. (I could not choose the dog, so don’t know if the folks at Microgaming reward or penalize you for being cruel to animals). You can also score 20 free spins (with winnings doubled). Unfortunately neither the bonus game or free spins can be be retriggered during free spins which I always think is a bit miserly! This new slot has colourful graphics and is a bit of fun. Worth a look.
Sure Win Slot has a horse racing theme complete with Psssst! Tipster. It’s been available a few months exclusively at Ladbrokes Casino (with jockeys wearing special Ladbrokes livery!). Sure Win is a stylish slot that gives you a chance to win up to 560,000 coins. 3,4 or 5 scatter “tipsters” trigger the free spins feature for 12 free spins at x4 multiplier, (16 free spins at x3, or 24 free spins at x2). Sure Win includes a Gamble feature so if you’re really lucky you can quadruple your winnings.
Check them all out in the “New Games” section at these two popular Microgaming casinos: (You can play these games as a guest for free or join up and play for real money)
Yukon Gold Casino (a wild west gold rush theme that welcomes players from around the world including those from 39 States of America)
Ruby Fortune Casino (a stylish UK owned casino offering you 750 real money chips without a deposit to try the games for free for an hour – you can keep your winnings. Sorry, Ruby Fortune cannot accept USA residents)

Now here’s a fun casino game that’s worth a look if you’re a slots fan – especially if you are in dire need of a holiday! Railway buffs will also find this game fun.
Jackpot Holiday features a cruise ship and a train zipping around a map of Europe as you spin bonus icons on the slots reels.
The bonus features accumulate as you play, triggering the “plan your cruise” feature game (choose from 5 destinations, 4 activities and a prestige, adventure or leisure tour) or “pick your journey” train trip feature game (seaside or mountain journeys) for bonus payouts.
Very cool. It’s an ‘Instant no download’ casino game and you can play for free with a 500 Euro balance each time you click or you can deposit and play for real money. (To fund that real holiday?)
Jackpot Holiday can be played for free or for real money at Eurobet Gaming. (Sorry, no US players)

The UK gambling industry has undergone some fairly radical changes over the last year or so and the bookies and casinos are testing the waters by advertising on TV and through other media to try to catch your eye.

To celebrate the launch of their very first TV advert Ladbrokes Casino are offering all new players to Ladbrokescasino.com £20 worth of chips FREE!
This means you can experience the excitement and fun of real money Casino play for FREE and still collect your winnings! No deposit is required, and you can even try out the latest new Tomb Raider – Secret of the Sword slot machine or play the photo realistic High Streak blackjack.

New from Playtech, Wild Viking is a table game with great gambling options. It is sort of a cross between roulette and poker betting, but also offers a fairly “out there” bet called (of course) The Wild Viking – that pays out at odds of 1250 to 1!
Wild Viking casino game also offers a Progessive Jackpot that offers an even bigger payout.
OK, so what’s Wild Viking all about then?
As a casino game it’s actually harder to describe than it is to play (although there is a great online tutorial at Bet365 Casino if you need it).
It’s played with a deck of 52 cards plus 2 jokers, and you’re dealt a five card hand.
You’ve got a range of betting options, based on either what you think the whole hand will be worth or on specific cards out of the hand, and you can place as many bets as you like.
Roulette type bets are settled based on the value and suit of your 5th card drawn.
You can bet on single cards, lines and corners, and single rank (say, any 5), Odd/even bets and black/red bets too.
Single card bet pays out at 51:1 !
Single rank pays 12:1
Single suit (like say, any club) pays at 3:1
All odd, or even pays 1:1
Black or red pays 1:1
The big payout is for a “Wild Viking” that pays out at 1250 to 1 (where both the first and fifth cards drawn are jokers). The value of the first and fith card drawn determines the Wild Viking outcome.
It really is easy to play – just click on the appropriate place on the Wild Viking board to place your bets (hover over the bet area and it highlights in yellow and gives you the odds down the bottom of your screen)
Poker bets are paid out based on the entire 5-card hand and the Progressive jackot bet (a fixed $1 bet – is an optional extra).
You win when your 5 card hand is the hand you bet on – or is better than the hand you bet on. To win you need a 3-of a kind or a better poker hand. The higher the poker hand the better your payout. A Royal Viking Flush results in you winning the Progressive Jackpot prize.
I suggest you have a look at this game – you can play it for free as a guest – or play for real money. It’s new, it plays fast and is something just a little different, but based on all the great casino table game basics.

PS: Bet365’s January New Player Bonus offers you a 100% first deposit match up to £100 or $200 (or currency equivalent). A X12 playthrough (deposit + bonus) applies.

Bodog Casino, a stylish Real Time Gaming casino offering no B.S. Instant Flash games, has just launched another fun competition (remember the recent Ocean’s 13 Giveaway of $13,000 to craps players or the iPhone giveaways for Let’em Ride players?).
This time, over the next 6 weeks, thirteen lucky Pai-Gow Poker players will be awarded a brand new Bodog branded iPod Touch simply for playing the Pai-Gow!
Hit one of 13 predetermined hands and an iPod Touch could be yours. The first hand you need to get is J-J-J-J…and this prize has been awarded the next lucky hand will be Q-Q-Q-Q, then K-K-K-K and so on.
Other prizes in this Bodog PaiGow contest include $50 USD iTunes gift certificates and $25 USD Bodog Casino bonuses and they’re awarded each week to random Pai-Gow Poker players over the next six weeks. On the last day of the contest, one very lucky Pai-Gow Poker player will win the grand prize of an all inclusive trip for two to Las Vegas. The trip includes two nights’ accommodation, airfare, transportation to and from the airport and $500 USD spending money. Excellent.
NEW TO PAI GOW POKER?
If you’re new to PaiGow, it’s actually a great one-player poker game using 53 cards (yes, it uses a Joker!). You make a 5-card high hand and a 2-card low hand from your cards to beat the dealer. The basic game rules are online, and it uses standard poker card rankings so it’s easy and fun to play.
PLAY PAIGOW FOR FREE TO PRACTICE
You can play Pai-Gow Poker for free at Bodog (no registration or download is required). Free play does not count towards winning an iPod though, but practice a bit until you’re ready to give it a go for real money!)

‘Curry in a Hurry’ is a new release out yesterday at Microgaming Casinos. (Don’t confuse it with Microgaming’s cool little AWP 3 reel feature slot, Cash n Curry!)
‘Curry in a Hurry’ 5 reel slot machine is an odd one. The graphics are bordering on amateur, compared to the stylish, almost photo realistic images we’ve come to expect from this canny Ise of Man casino game developer. The game sounds are just the base background casino lobby music with a few “win line” curry house noises dubbed in. Lazy.
In my view this slot game is hardly “a sizzling new video slot designed to deliver spicy online gambling action and entertainment” as Microgaming’s PR team have dubbed it. Sorry to pour hold water on a game, but this one is closer to “damp squib” than sizzling – but, hey, I’m happy to be proved wrong when someone declares this game their very most all time fav!
To it’s credit, ‘Curry in a Hurry’ does have a bonus feature that triggers when you get three or more curry “Scatters” across the 5 reels of this 25 pay-line game. Once you’re in the bonus feature, you get to pick from a choice of curry dishes and they are rated based on heat – the highest rewards of course going to the hottest dishes.
Game Recommendation: Well, play ‘Curry in a Hurry’ if you must – but it certainly did not make me race off and order some curry take out – or even feel the need for cooling beverege for that matter. I prefer the popular slot game ‘Cash n Curry’.
Check out Curry in a Hurry slot at Wild Jack Casino (A safe, secure and Ultra popular casino accepting US players from 39 States. Wild Jack is part of the Jackpot Factory around since 1999)
Play the new Curry in a Hurry slot at Zodiac Casino (Part of acclaimed Casino Rewards Group, US players are welcomed from 39 States of America)
