another of the slots that went live at the microgaming casinos recently is the Chocolate Factory slot. this willy wonka”ey” game is a 9 payline video slot (5 reels).

i’ve been test driving this slot at All Jackpots Casino. i mention that because i think that the individual casinos control the coin sizes for most of the slots they carry.

the coin sizes for this game where I’m playing it range from a nickel to $.50 per coin. you can activate all 9 lines, and bet up to 5 coins per line. so, there is a pretty wide range of betting choices per spin.

the symbols on the reels are a mix of goody loving children, and chocolate treats. there is a wild”ish” symbol, the Doctor Chocolate symbol. it will substitute for several of the symbols on the reels, but not for all of them.

there are also scatter symbols on the reels. land 2 or more of them for a winning combination.

besides the scatter and the substitute symbols, there are a pair of symbols that can be used to unlock one of two different bonus games on this slot.

there is both a bon-bon bonus (which allows you to choose chocolates from a box until you uncover the “collect” value). i, of course, hit the bon bon bonus, and uncovered the collect symbol on my very first choice. so, they gave me a consolation prize. oh well, better than nothing i suppose.

the second of the bonus games on the Chocolate Factory slot is the Dunk a Treat Bonus. despite my best efforts, i couldn’t unlock the Dunk-a-Treat game.

fallowing the lead of the latesst microgaming releases, the symbols on the Chocolate Factory slot sometimes spring to life when they are part of a landed winning combination.

while this is not quite the style of slot that strikes my fancy, i do have to say the double bonus screen action, and the livliness of the symbols on a win make it fun to play. i also had a lot of winners during my session, so i’m sure that contributed to the overall fun of the machine

the first few “dancing symbols” slots were huge payline games, 20 payline plus. it looks like microgaming is filling in the rest of their slots line-up now, and that sounds like a good idea to me. if you enjoy the 9 payline video slots, the Chocolate Factory machine is something you should sample.
