You’ll shortly be able to play Rainbow Riches: Win Big Shindig at Virgin Casino. When I say shortly, I mean from 27th August 2009 – just one week away! Having seen a brief preview of this game (which has some similarities to Barcrest’s Rainbow Riches game that’s found in Ladbrokes betting shops in the UK), I think it will be highly successful. It has a high payout – and is great fun to play! I’ll pop screenshots here once the game has been officially released. In the meantime, here’s some basic information on the Rainbow Riches: Win Big Shindig slot machine game.

The X-Factor TV show has been one of the most successful entertainment reality shows ever. Primarily a UK TV phenomenon, it’s also been seen in many areas of the world via the Internet. And now it’s a brand new slot machine, available for you to play online at Slotmine! Face the X-Factor judges, graduate from the auditions and earn your chance in Boot Camp to make it all the way to the Live X-Factor Final! Do you have what it takes to impress both the judges and the audience to find fame and fortune? Play this exciting multi-tier bonus X-Factor slot machine and find out!

There are 20 lines that can be played on the X-Factor slot machine, at a minimum 10p per line. You can bet from 10p right up to 20 Pounds per spin. The game play is good and there are catchy sounds to keep you spinning while you’re winning. If you’re lucky you’ll be able to trigger one of the three main game bonuses: Judges Bonus, Boot Camp Bonus, and the Live Final.

JUDGES BONUS: Getting 3 or more Judges Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Judges Bonus. The more Judges Bonus symbols you have on screen, the larger the potential award that you will play for in the bonus. To start the Judges Bonus you must face the first judge. A ‘No’ vote wipes out your award and ends the bonus with no award being won. A ‘Yes’ vote from a judge doubles the award and advances you to the next judge. Once you have made it past the first judge you will have the option to collect your award or to risk it for a chance at doubling the amount. Should a judge vote against you at any point, the bonus will end and you will be returned to the main game.

BOOT CAMP BONUS: Getting 3, 4 or 5 ‘BootCamp’ symbols on a staked line takes you into the Boot Camp Bonus. Boot Camp is a free spins round with the number of free spins awarded determined by the number of triggering symbols. The free spins are played at the same total stake as the spin that triggered the round. Awards from any winning outcomes during the free spins are accumulated and displayed. Free spins cannot be re-triggered from within the Boot Camp Bonus.

LIVE FINAL: During the Boot Camp free spins there is a new ‘Star’ symbol on the reels. Each time a star lands in any position on the reels it is added to your star tally displayed at the top of the screen. If your star tally reaches 10 during your free spins you will advance to the Live Final round.

Start the Live Final by picking from a number of categories to construct your ‘performance’. You will receive an award amount or multiplier for each of three elements—Performance, Audience Reaction and Judges’ Verdict. The total of the awards and multiplier determines the total bonus award that you are being offered. You can choose to either collect the bonus award offer, or try again in which case the subsequent offer may be higher or lower. You will get up to 3 offers, and so if you reject the first two you will leave the Live Final with the third offer as your bonus award.

If you have not yet completed your free spins before advancing to the Live Final you will do so afterwards. If your star tally exceeded 10 at the time of advancing to the Live Final the additional stars will remain in your tally until all of the free spins are completed. Any awards earned during Boot Camp free spins are added to any award earned during the Live Final. The selection of the aspects for the performance are for entertainment only and do not affect the award outcome of the bonus.

X Factor is a great game, and is currently available at Slotmine. Play it now – and then tell me via email at davewestlondon@yahoo.co.uk – have you got the X-Factor?

It’s not often that I find something on the Internet that I truly think has been done well. But today I found something, on the Las Vegas Sun website. Las Vegas Sun is one of the news publications covering the Las Vegas area – and their website is generally pretty good. So, what did I see that I thought stood out?

The History of Las Vegas, at http://www.lasvegassun.com/history/ has been really well done, and has lots of great information about Las Vegas, past and present. It also has a really cool interactive casino map, and great photos and videos of past decades. It’s certainly worth a visit if you get a few minutes, especially if you’ve got a passing interest or more in the Las Vegas region.
