Slots Adventures

i wanted to just keep an eye on the jackpot at Slotland, and so i stopped in at the casino today to see how things are progressing, hehe.

this morning the total stands at $92,272. that’s closing in on $100,000, which i think is a great jackpot to hit. especially since you can do it on any of the machines at the casino.

and that’s kind of what i wanted to write about today anyway. what are the different ways you can hit the jackpot at slotland?

they have 9 games, so i might not be able to get to all of them today! but, i can have some spins on some of them, and just update this post as i figure out more about it. i would say something like “who knows, i may even become the lucky winner”, but honestly, i’m not feeling it.

Here’s a list of the different games at Slotland:
Golden 8 - which I’ve reviewed before.
- hit 3 red bars while playing $1.50 per coin. with 8 paylines, that’s a $12 per spin venture. i’ve tried it for about $180 worth of play that i built up from a bonus. i don’t think it was money i could have cashed out anyway, so i thought why not go for it? i, uh, didn’t hit it though. 

Heavy Metal
- playing 4 paylines, at a $2 coin size will enable you to win the jackpot. that’s a spin of $8.

Booster
- this is a single line slot, with a max coin size of $5. so, playing $5 a spin and landing three BOOST symbols will win you the jackpot.

Tresure Box
- $2 is the largest coin size on this machine, and there are 4 paylines. so, each try at the jackpot will take $8. three wild symbols in a line is the jackpot combination.

Magic
- is a five line video-type slot game. max coins size of $2 puts each spin with jackpot potential at $10. you’ll have to land 5 ringed planets to take home the jackpot.

Jacks or Better
- is a card game, but the chance of earning the jackpot is based on the same RNG as the slots are. you need a royal flush with a $10 bet to hit the jackpot, but keep in mind that the odds of landing that are tied to the slot machine odds, not the odds that you’d get from a deck of cards.

Striking 7’s
- takes one bet per turn, with a max of $10. so, it’ll cost $10 for a crack at the jackpot on this game.

Space Jack
- is a game based on blackjack. players play three hands at a time, and hitting blackjack on all three hands awards the jackpot. once again, the jackpot is based on the slot machine RNG, not the odds of landing three blackjacks with a deck of cards.
here’s how the casio phrases it . .

“Therefore, the probability of hitting the jackpot combination on SpaceJack is not natural but controlled by this shared random mechanism in the same way as slot machines’ wins. ”

i didn’t see any “must play max bet” on the jackpot descrition for this game. that’s good too, because you can play up to $20 per hand. having to blackjack all three hands would mean a bet of $60!

Lucky Stars
- is a five payline game, so at $2 for each line, a jackpot spin would cost $10.

just for the record, the last jackpot hit at the casino was $76,675, so it almost looks like this jackpot is overdue.

there are some other machines listed at slotland, they just aren’t so boviously available, they include . . .

Silver Kiss
- this is probably the cheapest machine in the house. with five reels and two paylines, it only costs $2 for a max bet. land three hearts for a jackpot on this slot.

Halloween Magic
- there are five paylines ($2 max bet per) on this spooky game. a jackpot spin will take $10, but if you land a row filled with jack o’lanterns, you’ll take home the big progressive.

Santa Sleigh
- another holiday themed slot. this one uses cards as well, so you’re hoping for a royal flush. with three lines, at $5 each, a jackpot spin takes a $15 wager.
