Now here’s an example of the kind of luck I’d like to have. A lucky player called Doreen P. from Germany played slots for just 2.5 hours on October 6th and in that time won 2 Progressive Jackpots one after the other!
Yes, they weren’t THE big one (ie MegaMoolah is still still at over $/GBP/EUR/C$ 4.27 million), but consecutive payouts of €12,774.28 on Lots-a-Loot 5-Reel Slot and €31,173.79 on Cash Splash 3-Reel Slot are pretty amazing none-the-less. Statistically speaking it “just doesn’t happen” or at least gets lost in the rounding errors when calculating probability – not that the outcome of any casino game is in any way linked to the outcome of another!
Here’s what Doreen told the crew at Spin Palace Casino (who were just chuffed for her!)
“I’d like to sincerely thank you again for the phone call with the winning notification. Actually, I could hardly believe that I’d won two times within a few hours. I am thrilled about it and will probably fulfill one or two of my desires – to buy a new Jeep and take a nice holiday.”
In fact, there’s actually been payouts on 3 Microgaming Progressive Jackpots all won within a 4 day period at Spin Palace Casino (Doreen’s 2 wins, plus a Canadian player, Brendan D, won a tasty C$24,874.22 on Wow-Pot slot).
Feeling lucky?

Online casino prepares the barrels for Oktoberfest
As the annual 16 day festival of Oktoberfest approaches, an estimated six million people will descend upon the Bavarian city of Munich to celebrate and drink an incredible 1.2 million gallons of beer. ‘Oktoberfestbiers’ are the beers that have been served at the event since 1818, traditionally brewed in March and allowed to ferment slowly during the summer months.
For those not lucky enough to make the trip to Germany and join in the lederhosen-clad festivities, a popular new slot over at GoldenTigerCasino.com is helping players get in the beer swilling spirit, providing some financial bonus along the way.
You can play Quest for Beer slot for free (Download the free casino software and set up a guest registration) or try your luck and play for real money!
Quest for Beer is a 5 reel, 25 payline video slot game with a maximum jackpot of 2,500 coins. Players can wager anything from $0.01 to $125 per spin, making it perfect for beginners and those more seasoned alike. It’s the game-play of Quest for Beer that really starts to entertain, with colorful graphics depicting kegs of beer, Viking ships, Viking helmets, Vikings and of course tankards and tankards of the frothy stuff! As for something you probably wouldn’t find at Oktoberfest, the game also features an axe throwing bonus game to take you even closer to the huge jackpots.
With no deposit necessary, players can play for one hour on a selection of exciting casino games at Golden Tiger Casino with no financial risk, using no less than $1,500 of the casino’s money to make as much back as possible.

Bet365 Casino is one of the most popular online casinos we know of. Europeans and UK bettors plus a whole host of online gamblers from Asian countries just flock to it! To make it even more fun, Bet365 have just release two new stylish casino slots games that in our view are well worth a look if you’re a slots fan.
First up is Silent Samurai. It’s a 9 payline slot with excellent graphics. Stylish even. I especially like the fire breathing dragon that activates as a scatter in a win line. The animated spinning coin and ninja weapon is pretty cool too. My aim was not that great in the “kill a Ninja” bonus rounds but practice makes perfect?
The Samarai (with a red mark on his head like a curry roll) on reels 1 and 5 pays x5 and starts the bonus game in which you can win up to 27 Free Spins with a x8 Mulitplier.
Explode the Ninjas by throwing surrikans (sp?) to collect free spins and mulitpliers. Special Ninjas result in 3 or more Ninjas exploding automatically awarding you their prizes. Winning a bonus during free spins awards you an extra 8 free spins. Excellent!
Overall Playability Rating of Playtech’s new Silent Ninja Slot Machine:
8/10, ie it’s very playable and comes recommended! Check it out at Bet365 Casino – you can play for free or for real.
The nest new slots game release is Wild Spirit. This slot is a 20-payline game with a very stylish Indian theme (as in Cowboys and Indians, not Taj Mahal). Most of the graphics animate when you score win lines and I especially like the drum, the pony and the soaring eagle.
The bonus round triggers with an Indian Chief on reels 1 and 5. You pick tribal symbols to collect free spins and multipliers. The magic symbol automatically opens more winning symbols for you but there are evil symbols that can end your bonus round so choose wisely! There’s also a great Red or Black gamble feature to increase your winnings if you’re feeling lucky.
Overall Playability Rating of Playtech’s new Wild Spirit Slot Machine:
8.5/10, ie it’s very playable and slightly better that Silent Samarai. Check it out at Bet365 Casino – you can play for free or for real.
>>For more info on Bet365 Casino check out the latest Bet365 Casino Review here at CasinoLabRat.com.
NOTE: Play at Bet365 Casino 1st – 7th September to Win Professional Racing tuition in a Ferrari 360 Modena, a Lotus Exige S and a Formula 3 single seater racing car at Silverstone! There’s also a join bonus to GBP100 or currency equivalent for new members.

Two new no download casino games star in August. Stealing the show during the Olympics is Track and Field Mouse slot and the very funky fruit machine, Hip Hopopotamus!
If you like UK pub-fruity style online slots machines then add these two new games to your “played it” repertoire. (Surely you like to try all the new casino games releases or is it just me?)
First up we have the HipHopopotamus (who’s missing his partner in crime the Rhymnoceros from Flight of the Conchords. Ignore this comment if you’ve just no idea what I’m on about… or even better Google and find out about this funny-weird comedy duo :-)). Anyway, This strange little slot machine is focused on a very cool fat dude (who of course is purple!) and has lots of bling and rapper chat. The bonus round is highly interactive giving you plenty of options for bigger payouts or just to find some relativfely cheap online entertainment!
The other 3 reel AWP (Amusement with Prizes) style slot machine new this month is Track and Field Mouse. They’re billing it as “just in time for the Olympics”…but I’m not so sure about this game. I’ve found it frustratingly lame. It offers you all the usual interactive slots stuff like holds, nudges, a nudge bank, etc. and it even offers you the choice of playing three different games. Bronze, Silver and Gold games that offer different win multipliers and a different bonus game prize.
Check these games out today at Ladbrokes Casino. You can play for free without registration (they are both no download games) – or you can sign up and play for real money. (But not if you’re USA based…sorry…)
Good luck at the reels!
Mike

Get ready to encounter Medusa, Cerebus, Pegasus and the dreaded monster Kraken on your quest for riches with the aid of a Wild, a Scatter and a Free Spins with Multiplier Feature.

Additional rewards can be gained via the Stash of the Titans symbol, it is Wild and substitutes for all symbols (except the Scatter). Plus, all winning combinations completed by the Wild are boosted by a Multiplier – 5x Wilds pays 10x your bet!
Finally, look out for the winged horse Pegasus and a bulging Treasure Chest, as any combination of these 2 Symbols will further increase your stash!
With a coin bet range of 0.01 to 0.20 and up to 10 coins per payline, a maximum bet of 40.00 can achieve a base game Jackpot of 10,000, increasing to 40,000 should maximum rewards be won during the Free Spins with Multiplier Feature.

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.

June 24th, 2008
Well… time for more slots reviews as those busy beavers at Microgaming have been slaving to release June’s new slots.
First up is Days of the Tsar Slot. It’s a 25 payline slot machine with an Imperial Russian theme – the Tsar symbol of course is the substitute for all other images (except the Faberge Egg… but we’ll come on to that…). The top win results from 5 Tsars, and if you stake 20 coins/line (bet max) you can win 200,000 coins. Nice. I haven’t so far but am hopeful 🙂
The Days of the Tsar free spins feature triggers when 3 or more Faberge Eggs appear (and if you’ve been watching Antique’s Roadshow you’ll not only know they’re stylish but valuable too!). Each egg reveals a number and you add them together to get how many free spins you’ve won. All wins are doubled during free spins and an additional free spin is awarded for each F/Egg symbol that shows up during your free spins (which is far better than just not giving you anything as some of the more mean slots do!)
We like slots with a gamble feature like Days of the Tsar as you can turn a medicore win into something quite pleasing if you’re canny enough to quadruple it!
Overall, the game is very reminscent of Glory of Rome (funny that as I suspect it was from the same designer’s desk!), right down to a fairly sour looking Tsaress? Empress? and the Tsar waving regally when he deigns to pay out. The annoying clicketa clicketa noise is back (but can be turned off as a background sound option) The was seal icon is interesting (I originally thought it was a cookie with crumbs or a pretty naf coin. Doh! 🙂 )
I like this new slot, but not nearly as much as….Bomber Girls Slot!
Bomber Girls slot is a completely different style of game. With very jazzy sound track and six different animated girls that wave flags, salute and giggle. (Or wave stethescopes if they’re a nurse, or money wrenches if a mechanic, etc) The “good time girl” in red with a hibiscus in her hair is the highest paying in a payline. Most symbols animate when in a payline (like the bombs drop and the spitfire plane flies, even the goggles reflect the action in the sky! Excellent and way better than a string of (9,10,J etc).
I’m not so sure about the whole “glorifying war” thing that this slot reeks of, but hey, it’s fun – and you can win up to 150,000 coins. You can win up to 14 free spins with a x3 payout (3 or more compass symbols triggers free spins). There’s a scatter Pay Bonus (win up to 20,000 coins) and a High-Low Bonus plays like a game of cards and you can gamble to double the payout. The bonus game can be triggered during free spins (yay!).
Lastly we have Lucky Shot Slot. They’re billing this one as “Out just in time for the US Open” and Lucky Shot is Microgaming’s first golf themed slot machine.
The stylised people in Lucky Shot are not to my taste (kinda remind me of Prime Property for people who know their slots!) I personally prefer either the photo realism of games like Hitman or Tomb Raider II or the cheerful colourful style of Bomber Girls.
You can win up to 60,000 coins on Lucky Shot and the Gopher Bonus triggers with 3 or more of the little critters and can pay up to 300x your total bet! There is also a Free Spins bonus triggered by 3 or more adjacent golf carts which also pays out up to 50X your total bet. 5 Lucky Shot game symbols scores you a cool 15,000 coins in one spin.
Be one of the first to play these fun new slot machines at your favorite Microgaming Casino. They’re download games (ie not instant Flash play – but you can join up as a guest to play from free if you like)
If you’ve not got a favorite Microgaming casino, popular and highly recommended casinos include:
Blackjack Ballroom Casino and Zodiac Casino as they welcome players from around the World including US residents from 39 States. Ladbrokes Casino is also very popular at present (Sorry, no US players).

If you’re sick of reading headlines like “U.S. crude oil futures rose $5.12 to $134.10 a barrel in post-settlement trade on Wednesday” and “high crude oil prices have been behind the run up in gasoline prices and pump costs could keep climbing through June”.
Here’s a couple of oil-themed slots games that you might enjoy as a distraction from the realities of the surging world oil prices and cost of living.
TEXAS TEA – a Treat at top Irish Casino, Paddy Power
First up, Texas Tea is billed as “a gusher of entertainment with barrels of bonus game action!” The Oil Dividend Bonus of this 5-reel slot can earn you a big fat dividend check and the Big Oil Bonus lets you drill for huge bonus awards (up to 100x your original bet)!
This slot game has funny little animated critters (a crazy armadillo and a feisty steer) and some “perty” bits like flowering cacti, rock roses and lupins among all that desert dust. The top dude, Texas Ted, has a private jet and an awesome “long horned” open top car to git about his oilfields.
I especially like the “epic western” sound track to Texas Tea (I keep expecting Wild Bill or a band of In’juns to come galloping by or someone to get shot while playing poker…)
This game has a long term expected payback of 97.35% (this info is given with all of Paddy Power’s Casino games). You can play this game for free with no registration or download required.
Visit Paddy Power Casino (sorry, no US players)
Find out more about this Casino in a detailed review of PaddyPowerCasino.com
DUBYA MONEY – US Electioneering is steeped in barrels of oil
Next up is Microgaming’s Dubya Money slot. On oldie but a goodie (launched mid 2006). This fun slot machine is also ‘no download required’ and has a US election theme centered around, as usual, the oil crisis. It is a AWP game (amusement with prizes) – a special type of 3 reel slot that is ultra-interactive – more like a UK pub fruity – and with nudges and a range of other prize selections and bonuses you can spend hours playing without feeling hard done by as you really can influence the payouts from your spins!
If you like President Bush, electioneering US-style, Stetson hats, oil crises, the liberty bell, maps of good old Texas – and of course lots of red white & blue – then this game’s for you!
Play Dubya Money slot at Wild Jack Casino NOW – Play for Free or for real. (Players from arund the world including 39 States of the USA are welcome)
Read a detailed review of Wild Jack Casino (part of the popular Jackpot Factory group of online entertainment sites)
CASHVILLE – oil riches, great wads of money, cigars, jewellery and furs
Cashville slot is another great distraction from day to day cash crises! This game is lots of fun and one of the bonus billionaires is of course a cigar smoking oil baron called Bill Bullion. The bonus game lets you chose from 4 billionaires….and each billionaire then offers you a different game in which you can win up to 45000 coins with the main game offering a top return of 500,000 coins. It’s actually quite a fun slot and should be tried at least once!
If you can relate to ultra wealthy inbred toffs – oil riches, great wads of money, cigars, jewellery and furs (or would like to be able to) then you’ll probably find this game rewarding!
You can also play this slot game for free (no download required) as a registered guest at Wild Jack Casino (US players welcome from 39 States)
