When you load up the Lord of the Rings slot, one of the first things you’ll definitely notice is the quality of the graphics, backgrounds and audio. The developers have actually used a dynamic backdrop system, called the ‘cinematic spins’ feature where some of the best scenes from the films in terms of jaw-dropping scenery serve as a canvas for the reel game. This is a 243 pay-line slot, but don’t worry, the clever guys who came up with this game have just made it so you always bet on all 243 lines, no matter what your wager, so you don’t have to come up with a massive bankroll to play this slot game. Expect big wins from the free spin game, extra prizes from the expanding wilds and a chance to revisit all the might and magic from the brilliant film adaptations of these truly wonderful books in what we believe is one of the best slot games on the online stage today.

Thunderstruck is one of a number of 243 pay-line slot games that have been released by online gaming giant, Microgaming. This means that as long as you hit three similar symbols on the first three reels you’re guaranteed a win. Don’t fret about high spin costs as no matter what your coin size is on this game, you’ll only have to wager ten times this (as opposed to 243 times, as it would be with conventional slot games) to take a spin on this highly polished slot. The game packs in some great artwork with Norse gods like Loki appearing on the reels and the evocative audio track (complete with splashing waves) makes you feel like you really could be immersed in some kind of wild saga.

When it comes to features, Thunderstruck II is a slot machine absolutely dripping with mad bonuses. There’s the wildstorm feature, that just like lightning, can strike at any time turning one, two or even all the reels into wild symbols, helping you catch extra wins or maybe even a jackpot. The pay-table achievement feature sees extra features unlocked when you complete different reel and bonus game challenges. Finally, the great hall of spins is Thunderstruck II’s best bonus, where you’ll receive the boon of one of the Norse gods (The Valkyrie, Odin, Thor or Loki) to help you achieve the big money wins, with the top prize from this awesome slot game coming in a 2.4 million coins.

Faerie’s Forest is a good, well balanced slot game that has some great prize potential. The central reel action takes place on five reels with fifteen stop spaces in view. Select between one and twenty five pay-lines and then your wager amount before giving the game a spin. Forest arts such as birds and flowers together with the classic poker symbols occupy the reel space with some nice sonics accompanying every spin.

The bonus game on Faerie’s Forest is a free spin game. Simply stop in the three or more forest scatter symbols in order to get yourself onto the special second set of reels where all your free spins will take place. The standard award for three scatters is ten free spins and no matter how many free spins you win, they’ll all be taking place with a whopping three times multiplier applied to any prizes you get from the reels making this a very lucrative little sub-game.

Elvis is a fantastic fifty line slot game that’s in tune with similar slots, such as the DC games series (Superman, Wonder-Woman and Batman) and the big WagerWorks titles (Wild Wolf, Wolf Run and Lil’ Lady). The game features five reels with an extra line of stop spaces to what you’d usually expect to accommodate the game’s whopping fifty pay-line structure. In order to help you get those wins the wilds are absolutely studded with stacked wild symbols, helping you hit the big paying multi-line combinations. The game comes with the classic Las Vegas bonus round of a high paying free spin game. As with many games of this type you not only get paid for hitting the activating scatters, but you also get to take your free spins on specially enriched reels where you’ve not only got even more stacked wilds than the regular game, but you’ve also got a greater amount of scatters helping you re-trigger the free spin bonus from the free spin reels. This is a fantastic slot that really does the spirit of the king justice, giving you a chance to really up your Viva.

The Mega Moolah slot starts off with a beautiful image of a lion walking across the plateau at sunset, complete with the rich orange shades that one would associate with all that is African. The scene is set perfectly for the game, birds tweeting in the background adding to the ambiance. The lion sits down with some kind of bizarre monkey witchdoctor who tumbles his fortune telling stones and bones onto the ground. The monkey looks at his casting and smiles up at the lion who release the look of anticipation on his face into a beautiful smile as he’s clearly hit some winning action. You’re then off to a twenty five pay line reel game where you’ve got the chance to activate for the progressive jackpot.

The progressive jackpot on Mega Moolah is given to you as a virtual reel game. There are four different sized prizes available that are all cleverly titled with the letter ‘M’. The biggest is the maxi prize, then it’s the major, then the minor and finally the mini prize, the smallest of all the awards on offer. We love this progressive game because every time you get this feature you always feel you’ve got a chance at winning the biggest prize, when other slot games require you to hit five symbols in a row, which in our opinion is no where near as exciting. This is a real nail biter and will have you coming back time and time again to sample its African delights.
