Online Slots Feature Japan’s Most Wanted.
Can you hear that? It’s the sound of online slots leading to the arrests of Japanese criminals?
The Japanese software developer Famista, Inc. has recently announced their intent to release an online slot that replaces cherries and money signs with the mug shots of Japan’s most wanted criminals.
Famista has stated that, at least initially, the online slot will be free so as to maximize the visibility of the criminal’s faces to the public. If someone hits a jackpot, lucky them, they will win additional information on the suspect whose mug got them the win.
Apparently Famista missed the more obvious and probably popular prizing solution which would to be to award the winner with that criminal as a personal servant for life should they be able to assist in their capture.
Just imagine, the spinning faces slow and begin to fall into place and yes, you got a match! Three Haruko Tanaka’s! Assist in his capture and this infamous drug czar will serve you biscuits and tea until the day you die!
Famista representative, Takashi Saito, said in a statement that, “There are many Internet sites that display photos of those on the wanted list, but they are not necessarily visited frequently. By mixing it with entertainment, we thought we can make some contribution to the police efforts.”
Want to play some more traditional online slots that actually pay you out in cash? Head over to the Bodog online casino for some of the very best in biz.

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?

Video Poker is simple to play but requires some knowledge and skill to master. Poker players will be familiar with the basics of video poker hand construction and rankings - and if you’re not, it can be picked up quickly!
You are dealt five cards and must decide which cards to keep and which to discard in order to stand the best chance of constructing a winning hand. Any cards discarded from the original five dealt are replaced from those remaining in the deck.
You don’t need to beat any other hand, and are paid out according to the ranking of your hand on the pay-out table. The stronger the hand the better the prize. Like all poker games the ultimate goal is to hit the Royal Flush and win a huge jackpot!
Video Poker Game Variations
The most popular and commonly played Video Poker is ‘Jacks or Better’, where you have to achieve a pair of Jacks, or better, to win a pay-out.
Most online casinos offer a good range of video poker variations including 10s or Better, Deuces Wild and Aces and Faces. The pay-out tables vary from game to game.
One popular development is the ability to play multiple lines at once, ranging from 4-line, 10-line, 25-line and even 50 and 100-line games!
No matter how many lines you play, the game is the same. In Multi-Line, your decisions will affect all lines. If you’re playing 25-line and keep a pair of Kings, while changing three cards, then on all 25 lines you retain a pair of Kings, and three new cards will be dealt for each of the 25 lines. This offers a great way for players to maximise their wins. Any guaranteed win will count on all 25 lines and stands a chance of being improved on all of them.
Some online video poker games now offer a Progressive Jackpot and can be very rewarding indeed!
Video Poker Optimal Strategy
Play Max Coins: The highest pay-out in Video Poker results from play the maximum number of coins per hand. Of course, always play within your means and keep to limits you are comfortable with. So lower your starting stakes to the minimum and try to play the maximum coins per hand if you’re looking for that jackpot pay-out!
Optimal Strategy: As with any other form of Casino gaming, when it all comes down to it you rely on your instincts and gut feelings to play video poker. If you feel lucky and get a hunch then follow it. There is a way of approaching ‘Jacks or Better’, however, that is considered to be an optimal strategy and mathematically superior to other ways of playing. The optimal strategy is one which is played with an eye firmly on the Royal Flush - check out the following table.

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.

Here are some “one liners” that we have been collecting for awhile. They are not casino or gambling related humor, but humor non the less - and some are funnier than others!
A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.
A man went to a zoo. The only animal was a dog. It was a shitzu.
I am going to call my kids Ctrl, Alt and Delete. Then if they muck up i will just hit them all at once.
Depression is just anger without enthusiasm.
The noblest of dogs is the hot dog, it feeds the hand that bites it.
Hurricanes are like women: when they come, they’re wet and wild, but when they leave they take your house and car.
Why do we call them buildings when they’re finished? Shouldn’t they be called Builts?
The internet… where women are men and 12 year old boys are FBI agents
