Aussie Rules Online Slot Fun

January 20th, 2012

One of the latest releases by Rival Gaming in free online slots is called Aussie Rules. This game is based on the very popular Australian Rules Football game which in reality seems to have no rules at all. The first thing players will notice is that this game was created with the idea of having players experience the fun of this Australian game with a great deal of background sound effects like carnival drums and crowds going crazy in the stadium.

The symbols in the Aussie Rules slot game include the playing card symbols which are high paying and some other special icons such as the recognizable lines man that is dressed all in white and will wave his white flags whenever a winning combination is landed on any active pay line. This particular symbol of the lines man is also used as the wild symbol. Whenever players land 5 wild lines man symbols they will be able to collect the jackpot of 5000 coins. Other important symbols in this game include the referees whistle, the Aussie Rules football, a players vest, a pair of players football boots and a player who is trying to desperately catch a Aussie rules football.

This 5 reel video slot also has a fantastic bonus symbol that also works as the scatter symbol. Whenever players land 3 or more of these symbols anywhere on the reels the bonus game will begin and the Aussie rules footballs will then be displayed and bounce around until the bonus button is eventually clicked to enter the bonus round. Another great icon is the sports water bottle which works as the multiplier symbol and will also activate the free spins feature and add a 3x multiplier on all of the free spins that are won. Whenever this takes place a fun animation is also launched.

Yet Another Reason to Play Online Casinos in Spain

January 7th, 2011

If you’re a smoker and enjoy playing casino games, you know that it’s rather uncomfortable when you enter a land-based casino and smoking is prohibited. Folks in Spain are about to experience this first hand. Casino lovers in Spain will now have to visit the sidewalk whenever they feel like smoking, even if its right in the middle of a hand of poker or a game at a craps table. Of course, players can always opt to play their favorite game at an online casino, whether it’s a free slot machine or a game of blackjack.

On January 3rd, 2011 the Spanish government passed a new anti-smoking law that aims to make smoking illegal in non-residential buildings including restaurants, bars, workplaces, casinos and more. The new law even bans smoking in some outdoor locations, such as locations in close proximity to playgrounds, schools or hospitals. In 2006, Spain was successful in passing a law that banned smoking in the workplace. However, this law excluded owners of bars and restaurants and left it to their personal opinion on banning smoking or not from their establishments. The vast majority of owners chose to allow smoking and the Spanish government considered this to be a problem. Seeing that smoking is frowned upon a great deal of law makers and high-brow people in this country, the law will now try to ban this activity for good

Land-based casinos are the next to be affected by this ban. The government seeks to protect people from something that it’s not only a personal choice, but a right. However, the Spanish government has blamed all of those smoking-related deaths as the main reason for passing the strict anti-smoking law. Soon there after, alcohol and fatty food could be banned as well and then casino games lovers would really have no other choice than to stay home and play their free slot games from their very own couch.

North Carolina to Legalize Online Gaming

December 27th, 2010

The year 2010 has been a big one for online gaming everywhere. It feels as though every day a new fantastic slot game was released. The possibilities for online casino players to try out games for free increased with the many new and competitive online casinos that were created. However, most importantly, it seems as though the discussion on the legalization of online gaming was stronger and louder than ever before. Many politicians and different media sources have talked about this in different outlets and have stressed the many benefits of legalized online gambling and the potential revenue a country can receive from the gambling tax.

In the United States, the last state to consider the legalization of the online casino industry is North Carolina. This has been great news for a state that has deeply suffered with the recession and that has turned to the possibility of legalizing and regulating internet casino gambling. According to the state’s Governor Bev Perdue, “If you’re going to have it, it has to be controlled. It has to be, I believe, regulated. There has to be a revenue stream that we can look at, there has to be guarantees that people who are risking their money are at least having an opportunity of reward, just like a lottery.” She was strong in her choice of words and wanted to make clear that her personal thoughts are not against gambling as she took the decisive vote that created the state lottery in North Carolina. Governor Perdue is still weighing her options as to what is the next step for North Carolina regarding online casinos.

Perdue recently stated that she is not fond with video poker parlors, but has however considered the possibility of making these legal. Other legislators in the state have tried to ban the game unsuccessfully for many years now and with the budget as it is in present times, she believes that it’s not smart to exclude a potential source of income. With these news about North Carolina, California and New Jersey are no longer the only states to consider the legalization of online casino gambling.

Free Oktoberfest Themed Online Slot

November 12th, 2010

Don’t you just love it when a new free online slot comes along? I’m always looking for the release of a new slot game as I love to experience fresh games and basically test them out. Not all slot games out there are worthy of your time, but the ones that Rival Gaming puts out are certainly some of my favorite to try out. These Rival slots are pretty unique with cartoon-style graphics, awesome sound effects and cool animations. One their newest creations is called “Roll Out the Barrels”; a 5-reel and 20 payline game Oktoberfest-video slot armed with all the fun features like free spins, an expanding wild symbol and an interactive bonus round.

Even with the real Oktoberfest in Munich already come and gone, Roll Out the Barrels aims to transport the player to that very special festival with a bunch of evoking symbols, background sounds and graphic animations. Of course all of these are top quality so you end up feeling in a good party vibe during your stay in the game. The five reels are packed with Oktoberfest icons such as sausages, lovely looking barmaids, barrels and big jars of beer, accordions and much more. The expanding wild feature is activated by landing 3 or more barrel symbols and once its active a vivid animation of the reel being filled up like a glass of fresh beer.

The interactive bonus round is called “Barmaid Bonus Round” and really lets the player become part of the game. This round will take place when you get three or more of the Barmaid icons on the reels. In this particular bonus round, players have to serve the party-goers fresh jars of beer. In order to do so, you must pick from four different kegs. The keg you choose will ultimately determine your winnings.

Online Slots and Online Casinos Compete Against the 2010 NFL Season

September 17th, 2010

The 2010 NFL season is already on Week 2 and almost all who are interested in online betting will probably at one point or another place some of their bets on the NFL. The National Football League is one of the biggest industries in America, as well as other parts of the world, and betting on these games is almost a part of the american culture.

Regarding online betting in the United States the issue has always revolved around betting on online casino games such as poker, blackjack or slot machine games; these types of bets are prohibited with online casinos that operate inside the country. However, some states do allow for residents to place their “in state online sports bets” and people really take advantage of this, especially in the NFL season.

Thusly, the online casino industry suffers when the football season kicks off. Other places like the United Kingdom offer players the chance for totally open online sports betting, including NFL betting, tables games and the very popular slot machines. Online casinos are probably looking at a loss of players since many will be online solely for the NFL games bets.

Studies show that when the NFL season begins, there’s a drop in online casino betting throughout the entire season. These types of scenarios push online casino operators harder towards creating interesting promotions and upgrading their software with new or improved games. Online casino players, especially those who enjoy their slot machine games that can’t be found in land-based venues, are usually offered with free plays in slot machine games and other interesting bonuses for them to keep coming back to play their favorite games and not get lost in the NFL season mania.

However, online casinos are not to be worried as the NFL season does not last forever. European casinos need american players to keep their business alive so these companies usually incentive their players with extra freebies and new cool slot games.
