Online Slots
Guide to online slots by type:
Free Spin Slots
One of the very latest innovations in online slots are slots offering free spins with multipliers - the very latest slots offer multipliers up to 20x the normal payout - making for very rich pickings indeed. The free spins round is triggered when a certain sequence appears on the reels - ie 3, 4 or 5 scatters or a combination of two or more symbols. The free spins are then allocated - up to 25 free spins depending on the game and each win on the reels during the free spins round is then multiplied by x amount - some free spins slots have fixed multipliers whereas others - like Harveys (Microgaming) change with each spin.
Slots of this type include - Spring Break, Thunderstruck, Supe it Up (microgaming) - Cleopatras Gold (RTG),
Variants - Some games allow you to pick your own bonus - ie 25 free spins at a 2x multiplier or 10 free spins at 8 x multiplier
Slots of this type include Loaded (Microgaming) and Dolphin Tale (Microgaming
