Santa Paws

,

Due out the middle of this month (Dec. 2006) from Micgrogaming at Roxy Palace , is a 20 payline video slot game called Santa Paws. It has a free spin bonus feature, one wild during normal play and two wilds during free spins. It also has a double or quadruple gamble feature. The gamble feature works on the popular card theme, choose suit color for a double, correctly guess the suit for quad.

Santa Paws comes from the fact that the game theme features a polar bear in santa garb. There are also penguins, seals and killer whales, none of which have paws, but all of which fit in the polar theme.

Here is a screen shot of the game:



We all love those free spins, you can generate the free spin feature by being lucky enough to find three, four or five scatters. The scatter symbol the penguin bearing a big purple gift. There’s a multiplier on those free spins that could be up to 7x, and you can re-trigger free spins during your free spins.

Here’s that paytable.



Just look at that goofy white bear. His expression reminds me of my big stupid lab TJ. Always smiling. Well, we’ll be smiling if we land 5 polar bears on a line and win 4,000 coins!


This game’s so big, they needed two paytables… here’s the other one, that shows more of the regular play wins.



The wild symbol is that goofy bear. During regular play, he’s wild for everything but the scatter penguin. Now here’s the interesting thing. During free spins, he’s joined by the killer whale who is also a wild symbol. Still wild for anything but the penguin. Did I mention we love the free spins?



It seems a little late in the year for a new Christmas themed game, but as the big day gets closer, the frenzy mounts. Maybe they’re crazy like a fox to wait ‘till Mid-December to launch this one. Keep a polar eye out for this one and try it when you’ve reached the end of your online shopping rope.

100 Spins on Tunzamunni

, ,

today i thought i'd try something alittle different. recently, all jackpots casino game me a $15 bonus in my account. it didn't go along with any deposit i made. in fact, i had just made a withdrawal.

it did co-incide with my birthday, but that might just be coincidence. but, at any rate, i thought i'd do a little bit of playing this morning. and, i decided to do it on the Tunzamunni machine.

the Tunzamunni is a progressive slot game, with a coins size that's fixed at a nickel. it takes a max bet to win the jackpot, and since you can play up to 5 coins per spin, a max bet costs a quarter.

that's about perfectly reasonable in my book. right now that jackpot is up to over $63,000, so for a quarter a spin i'm looking at a super-high potential payoff.

i decided to try this out not only because it's a cheap way to take a shot at a jackpot, but because it also jives with a promotion offer we've received here at the humble blog.

River Belle casino is giving new players 100 Free Spins on the Tunzamunni Machine

what that means is they're giving away some $25 free accounts, which is twice as good as most free money accounts (actually 2 and half times better, most free money accounts are $10). that $25 will give even the most unlucky player 100 free spins on the tunzamunni.

having $15 of my own, i thought i'd give it a go, and sat down for a quick 100 spin session on the slot.



since the slot machine is a microgaming, and i'm playing at one of the better ones (and riverbelle is a good one too), there's an "expert mode" on the machine. it let's me hit "autospin" which i did. somewhere around spin number 50 my bankroll was down to the single digits in the dollars space, and i thought there would be a good chance of me busting out before i hit the 100th spin.

but then, i landed three sevens (mixed) for my big winner of the morning. that put me ahead of where i started, and that where i ended.

this was my 100th spin . . .



so i did manage to take the 100, and some good things happened along the way.

this was just a fun little thing to try. obviously i could keep spinning for quite some time, but i thought a fun little session was what i was after today. and that's what i got.

i do have to say that the tunzamunni slot has become one of my two favorite progressive slot machines. i just love how crips the colors and the action are, and the fact that for $15 or $20 i could sit down and play the thing!
