The slot manufacturers offer casinos a payout range low to high when presenting their creations to casinos.
Casino management decides the payout range they want to offer players and requests the slot maker to program as directed.
Therefore, based on this payout range, these 10 slots have the potential of hitting at the high end of 95% or better.
I have listed and reviewed these top 10 in order of payout range from high to low and included the average hit frequency.
For Part 1, see Casino Players Ezine #111.
Let’s explore.
1) 50 Dragons: Aristocrat. 87.5%-95%. 2 spins.
Watch for 3 or more wild pearl symbols to activate the free spin round of 10 games with this 50 line game. These pearl symbols increase your bonus credits as they are added during each freebie spin. Additionally, for three ingot scatter pay symbols, you receive 10 free spins. For both of these freebie rounds as described, a second round of 5 free games is activated when either the pearl or ingot appears during the original bonus round.
Multiplying spins and credits will surely ‘drag’ you to this exciting slot.
2) Life of Luxury: Wms. 87-96%. 2-3 spins.
The 3 games released are Far East Fortunes, Jungle Cats and Riches of Rome for this popular Williams slot that has been re-invented.
Features of each of the base games include free spins and all designate a gem that displays five progress jackpots; opal, ruby, emerald, sapphire and diamond for the big strike.
The bonus screen is triggers when a gem symbol appears on a reel at which time you select from 8 gem symbols to win bonus credits or the progressive jackpot.
If you play with max bet, you are instantly awarded the progressive upon a gem appearance.
Far East Fortunes offers a 2X wild symbol on the middle reels plus the free spin round will hold the wild symbol for spins following. Jungle Cat features wild symbols while Riches of Rome sports a wild reel that pops up during the freebie round.
With the many bonus opportunities, the ‘luxurious’ rewards may be in your ‘life’.
3) Golden Trophy: Atronic. 86-96%. 3 spins.
Combine a second screen bonus and free spin round and you are in for excitement with this racing themed game. The Race Day Bonus starts with 3 or more Golden Trophy symbols and then moves to a video screen displaying four horses.
Once your selection is made, the race is on and at the same time, a second screen free spin round is ongoing. Each horse symbol awards credits from the free spin round until the race is complete.
Your bonus credits are totaled to include the horse you chose. And, it’s off to the races…
4) Tiki Tango: Atronic. 86-96%. 3 spins.
The Tiki Girl symbol is wild with this Polynesian themed slot. Three or more Flaming Bowl symbols found on the first, third and fifth reel starts the 10 free spin round.
Get 10 more freebie spins, up to a maximum of 100 free games, if the Flaming Bowl symbol lines up again as above.
An additional feature is a random progressive jackpot win for Mystery Magic that can be hit at any time during play. Now that’s a win worthy of a ‘dance around the slot’.
5) Crimson Fire: Atronic. 86-96%. 3 spins.
As you may have noticed, 50 paylines is becoming the norm in the slot playground, however, this game offers the betting choices of a max bet of 500 or maxing the bet to 1000.
The 10 free spins round is triggered by 3 chest symbols displayed on the three reels, while two results in a scatter pay reward.
During the initial free spin round, which can be re-spun 5 more times with an additional 3 chest symbols, the wild moon symbols are displayed on 2, 3, 4 and 5 reels to increase your bonus credits.
A suggested strategy is to activate all 50 paylines, then ‘turn up the heat’ after a good payday to either 500 or 1000 coin bet.
6) Deal or No Deal – The Show: Atronic. 86-96%. 2 spins.
Based on the TV Game Show, you choose either suitcases of cash; accept a deal or no deal that continues your search for the top cash prize.
Three Money Case scatter pays at the first three reels activates the Lucky Case Bonus event with a screen displaying 20 suitcases. Make your choice and five of the other suitcases show the credits inside. The player is then asked to decide on a deal for the remaining suitcases—Deal or No Deal? For No Deal, you select 4 of the unopened suitcases and await the next offer until you make a final deal.
This slot adds the feature Super Play by you bet to trigger from 1-20 paylines thereby paying left to right except scatter and bonus wins.
Bet all 25 paylines and you move to Super Play Mode whereby all wins are paid as scatters from left to right. The Deal or No Deal symbol is wild when displayed on the middle three reels.
With the Super Play Mode feature, it can be said that this game is a Big Deal.
7) Super Sphinx: Atronic. 86-96%. 2 spins.
Another Sphinx version is here—Super Sphinx boasting 25 paylines and two playing options.
1) Play from 1-21 paylines and all wins are left to right except scatter and bonus wins.
2) Play the max 25 lines and you are now in Super Play mode where all scatter combos pay.
Toss in the Tutankhamen symbol pays on the second and fourth reels and you are in ‘high hit’ territory.
Free spins are activated by scarab symbols landing left to right in this order: 3=10 freebies, 4= 15 free spins and 5=20 free spins. Should the scarab show up, another 10-20 spins are added to this round.
Should Tutankhamen show up during the free game round on reel 2=double jackpot, reel 4 and the jackpot is X5 while both reel 2 and 4, the jackpot is X15.
As you can see, the mighty sphinx lives up to its ‘Super’ name.
