Slots Adventures

stopped by EH tonight to check up on how the big tourney is going, and see if any other ones opened.  and also, to see if the new Real Deal slot went live or not.  i wasn’t really expecting that it would have, but, there’s always hope.

sure enough, it’s up and running.  so, i downloaded it, and got the chance to play the game!

first off, here’s a screenshot of the 20 paylines.  they are interesting, and since i’m not used to them, winners were popping up at me from the strangest of places the whole time i played the machine.

there are some “stacks of money” symbols that are kindof like bar symbols on most of the classic machines.  they come in single, double, and triple stack sizes.  but, there is no winning combo for say, three of any stack.  so, i’m seeing the screen nearly filled with piles of cash, but i’m not landing enough of the same sized piles on a payline to hit a winning combo on the machine.  that’s a bit confusing.  hopefully i’ll get past it.

 the symbols on the reels do spring to life when they’re part of a winning combination.  the whacky cell phone dance may be my favorite.

ah . . . i’ve just unlocked the bonus round! 

oh brother.  this is an honest game of Deal or No Deal going on.  there are a stage full of suitcases, and i’m sure the amounts in each are based on the coin size you’re using when you take the spin.  i’m playing pennies (hey, bankroll management is part of it all.  besides, i has some bonus cash lying around and didn’t feel like depositing).  the prizes start at one cent, two cents, etc. all the way up to $100.

i choose a suitcase as mine, then i start eliminating suitcases from the stage.  after i toss off a couple of suitcases, they make me an offer.  i toss of more briefcases, they make another offer.  i get all the way down to where there’s only two suitcases left.  the missing amounts are $100, the top prize, and $.05. 

the offer they made me was a smidge over $50.  so, i could take the $50 (and remember, i’m honestly playing for pennies here), or chance it to see if i actually chose the $100 breifcase out of all of them at the start. 

well, being the gambling man i am, i take the cool $50.  and they promptly show me that the briefcase i chose had the $100 winner in it.  heh.  i should have taken a screenshot of that!

but, i started with about $20, and now i’m over $60, playing a penny slot.  hard to harbour complaints about that.  hehe. ok, there is no such thing as a good pun.  i realize that now. 

anyway, i test drove this slot at english harbour casino.
