As the Reels Turn 1

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

As the Reels Turn is what Rival calls an I-online slot (or Interactive online slot). This 5 reel, 15 payline video online slot offers online slot players a unique experience as you move from level to level much like an arcade game.
As the Reels Turn 1

As the Reels Turn is an ultra sheik video online slot with a game map. The game map is a path of online slot play, bonus rounds, and movie scenes that you follow to get to the highest level in the online slot. This I-online slot has a bonus round (3 separate bonus rounds, which are different dependent upon the level you are at), A scatter which advance you to the next round (scene), a scatter which gives you 1 more bonus round, and yet another scatter for free-spins!

free-spins: The free-spins are triggered by Ivan, the strange looking fish and give you 10 free-spins with a 3x wins multiplier!

bonus round: There are a total of 4 bonus rounds in this online slot and you will have a great time in all of them. They are all pickem style with a bit of interactivity involved as well. The Tommy Wong bonus round you choose the character that you feel the movie audience will like best to reveal your prize. The Chips bonus round has you picking from a bunch of casino chips until the Stop chip is found. The accumulation of all winnings in the chips is your winning amount. The Car bonus round allows you to choose the car you think Terry will like the most and you will win the amount behind the vehicle. The online slot Machine bonus round has you clicking on all the online slot machines until you hit one with no money. You accumulate winnings in the end.

Bet Size: Play this online slot at maximum bet from {Main_Review}.75 to $75. The I-online slot machines are medium-low variance, so dont expect huge wins, and therefore, your betsize really isnt going to matter a whole lot.

Summary: The Interactive online slot concept is pretty hot, but a little higher variance would help this one out a bit. The fun part is finding out all the scenes and levels to the online slot.

Surf Paradise

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Surf Paradise is a classic classic online slot machine typical of land based casinos. However the theme and graphics are much more up to date.
Surf Paradise

Surf Paradise is a classic one arm bandit (classic online slot) with a pretty nice surfers theme and a fairly nice high end payout.

Description: Surf Paradise has a max coin of 2 coins, 1 payline, and the ability to bet up to $10 per spin. With a jackpot of 2000 coins, this can be a major win.

Bet Size: This online slot can be played (at maximum bet) from {Main_Review}.02 to $10.00 which can lead to some really good wins at the upper bet ranges.

Summary: The theme is very interesting for a classic online slot, much like most of Rivals online slot machines. The online slot itself is fun to play due to the large wins that you can generate based upon your betsize. Overall it is a very good online slot.

So 80s

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

So 80s is one of the original video slot machines put online by Rival Software and is a 5 reel, 15 payline video slot machine with wilds and extra spins.

So 80s

So 80s is a brightly colored, 1980s themed, video slot machine with 5 reels and 15 paylines. The slot machine is a low variance slot machine, which means you can play this one for an eternity before burning your bankroll. There is a wild graphic, depicted by an Atari joystick, and a extra spins scatter which is shown on the reels as a breakdancer spinning on his head.

extra spins: The extra spins are nice with the ability of receiving 10 extra spins when 3 or more scatters appear anywhere on the reels. Since the paytable is a bit on the low side, do not expect monster payouts. This slot machine is designed for those who love to spin the reels for long periods of time.

Bet Size: Play this slot machine at maximum bet from {Main_Review}.75 to $18.75 and, once again, is a low variance slot machine

Summary: I love the 1980s look and feel of all the graphics and when I want to play for a while on the same dime, I do head over to this slot machine, so it definitely has its place in the lineup. Its worth a try if you havent played yet – I think you will get a kick out of the theme.

Metal Detector

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Metal Detector is another 5 reel, 15 payline video slot machine with a bonus round and extra spins.
Metal Detector

Metal Detector is a partially themed slot machine about those people we see with metal detectors looking for treasures…. or change :) The slot machine itself is a typical first Rival slot machine. By this, I mean it has the bonus round and extra spins. The paytable is much smaller on this slot machine, though, which makes it VERY low variance.

bonus feature: The Metal Detector bonus round is actually a bit unique. You position the metal detector over the Xs on the beach and determine if that is the place you want to dig. Check the metal barometor to see how your treasure rates prior to the dig!

Bet Size: Play this slot machine at maximum bet size from {Main_Review}.75 to $75.

Summary: This is another safe slot machine. While the graphics are pretty and the bonus feature is unique, the slot machine is more for the player who just loves to spin the reels for extended periods of time. Dont expect huge wins, but expect to play for a while.

Hobos Hoard

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Hobos Hoard is a 5 reel, 15 payline video new slot with a bonus round, free-spins, and wilds.
Hobos Hoard

Hobos Hoard is yet another completely themed video new slot. The theme – street folk :) With symbols like a shopping card, trash can, and living in a box, this new slot has the theme down. Hobos Hoard has a bonus feature, a free-spins feature with a 3 time wins multiplier, and a wild (trash can) which aids in getting you larger winnings.

bonus round: The bonus round, dubbed People Bonus Round, is triggered by the Bonus graphic and will have you picking a person out of the group and winning the amount the person has. Your typical pickem game and nothing really special about it.

Bet Size: This video new slot is your low roller new slot (no kidding, right? with a name like Hobos Hoard). You can bet, at max bet size, from {Main_Review}.15 to $3.75.

Summary: This is a good new slot for a low roller, but dont expect to win a ton of money here… This new slot is for people who just love to spin

Sevens and Bars

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Sevens and Bars is a classic, 3-reel online slot and reminds me of Sizzling Sevens (land based online slot). It is obviously a more graphically rich online slot than Sizzling Sevens, but is certainly very similar in payouts. So, if you are a classic online slot player playing those one arm bandits :) , this is a good online slot choice.

Fantastic Fruit

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Fantastic Fruit is a classic slot machine (3-reel slot machine) with more of a fruit slot machine twist to it. Play this 3-reel, 1 payline slot machine as either a high or low roller.
Fantastic Fruit

Fantastic Fruit is a new looking slot machine with classics and a single payline. It has a fruit theme and a very low paytable. Dont expect huge wins on this one, but do expect to play for a very long time with your money.

Description: This fruit-themed slot machine can be fun to play and you can play for a very long time. However, dont look for those huge wins you might get from Big Cash Win or even Chicken Little. This is a low variance slot machine and shows that right from the low-end payout table.

Bet Size: This slot machine can be played from {Main_Review}.03 to $15.00 at maximum bet size, with 3 coins selected.

Summary: This is another newer looking classic slot machine by Rival Gaming, but doesnt really have the allure that the larger payout slot machines have. While it can be fun to play, we never expect good wins here.
