Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror™ slot preview!

 

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”

This will be the question we will be asking ourselves on 24th July 2018 when Netent will be releasing their latest addition to the fantasy series of slots, Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror™. The popular story of Snow White was first published in German language in 1812 as number 53 of the first edition of fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and today is known widely across the world.

Our full slot review of Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror™ is now live and can be read by clicking on this link.

The story itself is so packed with characters and elements that it provides ample choice for some exciting features and stunning animations for a video slot. We are sure the magic mirror, the poisoned apple and glass coffin, plus the characters of the evil queen and the seven dwarfs will have given the creative team at the Swedish studios of Netent more than enough inspiration to design a new headlining slot.

Just a short reminder on the story line. Snow White is born into a royal family but her mother dies soon after giving birth, only to be replaced by the wicked stepmother who owns the ominous magic mirror, which she asks every morning, “Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?”  The mirror always replies: “My queen, you are the fairest in the land.” That is until Snow White grows into a beautiful princess and the mirror that never lies spills it out to the evil stepmother who then orders a huntsman to bring Snow White deep into a forest and kill her. However, he can’t convince himself to do it and returns to the palace with the lungs and heart of an animal instead of those of the princess as proof that he carried out her orders.

 

 

Snow White meanwhile wonders through the forest where she discovers a tiny cottage belonging to a group of seven dwarfs. After eating some of their food and drinking some wine, she falls asleep in one of the small beds. When the dwarfs return, they agree to let her stay but warn her to let no one into the house.

The evil stepmother, however, consults again her magic mirror, who then spills the news that although she is the most beautiful in the palace, that “Snow White beyond the mountains at the Seven Dwarfs is a thousand times more beautiful than you”. Enraged by the betrayal of the huntsman, she dresses up and visits Snow White to kill her herself. But all her attempts with poisoned laces, a comb and an apple fail. Even worse for her, Snow White is discovered by a prince and he falls instantly in love with her. A wedding follows soon to which he stepmother is invited as well but is not aware that the bride is actually Snow White because the magic mirror answers “Thou, lady, art loveliest here, I ween; but lovelier far is the new-made queen”. She goes into a rage when she arrives at the wedding but the prince orders for her to wear a pair of red-hot shoes and dance in them until she drops dead for the attempting murder of Snow White.

And they lived happily ever after!

We can only wait now to see which parts of the story will be included on Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror™. For that, we are scouring daily the web and question our sources at Netent HQ to find more information on this new video slot. Rest assured, that we will update our post the soon we get to know more details about the new slot . Check back regularly to read the latest news.

Lost Relics™ slot preview!

 

First details on the next Netent hit slot!

Ready to be an online Indiana Jones for an adventure on Lost Relics™? Then brace for the release of the new Netent slot on 24th May 2018. We are excited to present today a sneak preview of Lost Relics™, a highly entertaining slot with some great graphics and bonus features, taking us on a wild adventure on the reels and rewarding us with super mega wins that can go as high as 300x bet on a single spin.

Our full slot review for Lost Relics™ can be found here. As always it is written by real players with years of experience in the gaming industry.

Lost Relics™ is a video slot with a 5×5 grid and the Cluster Pay™ mechanic we know from slots like Aloha! Cluster Pays™. Minimum 6 symbols are needed in a cluster to award a win on a spin. The game comes with Wild substitutions, random base game features and a Free Spins round with a Hidden Chest feature.

 

TRTP for this medium variance game is set at 96.30%, featuring a maximum win on a single spin of up to 1,000x stake. Bet sizes will range from $0.20 – $400 which can be adjusted by a click on the current bet amount from where players are led to a second screen showing the available bet sizes. Auto Play gives players the possibility to set a number of spins to be played with a range of options when the run should stop. The game will surely be in HTML5 format and available for play on desktop, mobile and tablet across all OS platforms.

The game will have no less than three random base game features and a Free Spins round with a Hidden Chest Feature. Any of the random features can trigger up to 5 times on any winning spin:

  • Coin Win – One of the winning symbols will reveal a win of 3x – 30x stake, that could lead to up to 150x stake on a single spin.
  • Extra Wild – Three extra Wilds are randomly placed on the reels in positions that are not part of a winning cluster. Re-triggering the feature 5 times would turn wild 15 of the 25 reel positions for potential super mega wins.
  • Extra Scatter – One of the symbols in the winning combination is transformed into a Scatter, increasing the chance to hit the three needed for the Free Spins round.

Online Gaming on You Tube & Twitch for a Living!

 

Live casino streaming is an increasingly popular trend on social media platforms and some players are turning live casino games into their own paid personal showcase. While certainly not a new trend live casino streaming is gaining in popularity thanks to several prominent players who share their gambling experience with a live audience of faithful followers. Top YouTube and Twitch casino streamers have accumulated tens of millions of views and in some cases saw over a 1000% increase in followers last year.

With live casino streaming being the hottest trend, what exactly is it and what is attractive about it? In reality live casino streaming is as simple as it reads. Gamblers, usually playing live table games, but not always, stream themselves as they play. Some of the more outgoing streamers carry on conversations with followers who live and die with each hand. Now watching someone gamble that can’t be fun, right? While easy to write off at first, an increasing amount of players do indeed find it fun to live vicariously through a fellow gambler. In turn that gambler, player, streamer, whatever you call them, earns ad revenue, gratuity and sometimes sponsorship in exchange for the voyeurism.

 

 

Obviously not every streaming gambler is earning enough to cover their losses, though the popularity of some of them demonstrates the appeal of live casino streaming. New players have been known to check in on a live stream with questions which are usually answered in good faith by the streamer playing a hand. In terms of watching slot players, it can be quite mystifying watching streamers who claim to have cracked the code or possess some deeper understanding of a slots algorithm. You’re never quite sure whether to believe them or not, yet they definitely are winning. In terms of live table games, watching and interacting with a poker player as they win and lose hands sure beats virtual poker on most days.

Many of the best casinos online for live casino games not only encourage the streamers, they actively partner with the best ones and offer credits to be played on their channels. So, you may be closer to being a professional gambler than you ever imagined. The main concern over streaming according to poker players we interviewed for this article is the potential for opponents to get a read on your emotional response to each dealt hand. You can’t exactly sit there in your best poker face constantly and expect to gain a following.

These concerns, however, do nothing to stop the live streaming trend for now. Dozens of top YouTube channels in the live casino niche have amassed large followings, including some who tip the streamer out of gratitude for their entertainment. It’s a unique relationship that both streamer and follower seem to enjoy.

 

What makes a good live casino streamer?

Maybe as you read this it has occurred that possibly you too could make money by streaming your gambling habit online. Don’t let me burst your bubble because it’s certainly possible. From the channels that are generating the most views they all have two things in common. For one the player knows what they’re doing and two the player is funny. That’s really the secret to becoming a successful live casino streamer. Be good. Be funny.

So where do I find one of these live table games online? That’s really the easy part. Take your pick from the top rated live casinos on the internet as evaluated by the expert staff at Vegas Slots Online. If you don’t want to bother searching for a streamer on YouTube the majority of live casinos will allow you to watch live table games from their website. All you have to do is register.

 

 

The Five Best Poker Rooms in Las Vegas!

 

Not a pro poker player, but curious about playing in a Vegas poker room? We’ll point you towards the best, you just worry about enjoying the experience. Making your first venture into a Vegas poker room can be a daunting venture, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re planning to lose the smallest amount possible or looking to play deep stacks, rest assured that Vegas has an answer for you. We consulted a dealer who is a veteran of the Sin City poker circuit to get the low-down on poker rooms and compiled a list of the best poker rooms to play while visiting Las Vegas.

 

 

The Basic Experience

The Orleans

Let’s say you’re a first timer just looking for a basic taste of the Vegas poker experience. You want to play poker but lose as little money as possible. Fair enough. What you’ll want to seek out is a tournament or a 2/4 limit game. 2/4 games aren’t everywhere in Vegas, but you’ll find some of the best at Flamingo and even off the strip at the Golden Nugget.

Our recommendation, however, for newbees is the Orleans. Just a short shuttle ride west of the strip and you’ll be playing all the tight poker and drinking all the comped drinks you can handle. Serious players often use Orleans as a warm up for the real thing. Their words, not mine.

The Venetian

The best thing about playing at the Venetian is the sheer volume of players that cycle through there. You literally can’t enter a game there without sitting next to a tourist that’s never played before or a poorly disguised local. You won’t find a better run room for short stack poker than at the Venetian.

Parking doesn’t cost a dime either, so there’s that too.

The Real Vegas Experience

The Wynn

Some of the toughest games on the strip are played at the Wynn’s poker room, which also happens to be the classiest looking room in the city. I’d bring your A game if you plan to win there. While games at the Wynn are deep and elegant, the environment at Aria or the Bellagio isn’t far behind.

Either way, if you haven’t visited the Wynn in the last two years you haven’t played in the new poker room. More space, more tables, new color scheme, USB ports at every table, convenient restrooms and a mini sports book.

Planet Hollywood

What Planet Hollywood calls their poker room isn’t really a room. Rather it’s set in the middle of the casino floor featuring a wild, party like atmosphere. In other words a tourist magnet where the games are anything but dull. Even if you don’t take our advice and play Planet Hollywood, the action you’ll see in the party pit is worth a glance. They really bring the wild out of some groups. Seriously, this poker room is the antidote to the lonely table off the strip where you find yourself sitting next to a grumpy, coffee drinking retiree in a MAGA hat.

Planet Hollywood gets rowdy, especially late at night where they’ve been known to host some casual, yet competitive tournaments.

Caesar’s Palace

Unless you’re a professional poker player you’re better off not buying in for the maximum amount on your first trip through town. No use getting yourself into tricky spots if all you’re after is the Vegas poker experience. That’s why Caesars Palace should be your first stop on any Vegas poker trip. Constant 1/2 games being dealt with a maximum rake of $5 and $100 minimum buy in. Buy ins at almost every poker room in the city are between $100-$300, so old Caesars falls on the low end of the spectrum.

 

Final Words

Ultimately, you want to go to the Wynn or Bellagio for the most serious experience or a 2/4 limit game at Flamingo or the Orleans to kill a few hours for $50-$60. So now that you have a basic understanding of Las Vegas poker rooms, there’s nothing stopping you except booking the tickets.

Of course if making the jaunt to Las Vegas is too much for you, there are plenty of online poker rooms that we’ve matched to their brick and mortar counterpart using our tried and true vetting process. There is no substitute for the real thing, but sometimes you can come pretty close.
