| Introduction: |
|
Every slots player should have a go on Grand
Virtual slots - even if just in 'fun mode'…. They are just totally |
|
|
|
|
|
| (and Good) |
|
different to anything else you've ever seen! They may well have 5 reels & multiple
pay-lines like most other |
|
|
|
|
|
|
online slots, but that's where the similarity
ends. These are the key features which
make them so unique:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
The reels don’t actually ‘spin’ – instead a
‘curtain’ covers each position which is revealed in a semi-random order. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(New slots released after May 2008 now have
'spinning' reels) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
The symbols pay anywhere on the win line, not just
right to left, or left to right. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
Some
scatter symbols in view double the regular payouts, and are accumulative (1
scatter = x2, 2 = x4, 3 = x8…etc) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
The scatters are also
wild symbols on some slots. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
Unlike most other softwares, the more scatters you
get the bigger the prizes (MUCH bigger!) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
The Atlantis slot has FOUR different bonus
features! (And the most amazing
graphics you've ever seen!) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
Like with
Video Poker, betting max coins and lines dramatically increases the
multiplier of the top payout. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
You can switch between real money play & fun
mode without even exiting the game, let alone the casino! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
Your last 3 or 4 win amounts remain visible in the
info window. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> |
On Game Show during the free-spins, Wilds are held
for 2 spins - we have never seen this unique feature anywhere else! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Now also on new slot, Olympians) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Not so Good: |
|
No autoplay - this is the only improvement we
would like to see added to these wonderfully funky slots! |
|
|
Additional Information |
|
|
|
Update! New slot 'Pinball' does have a very basic
auto-play. Hopefully more will follow… |
