In response to question above, ‘getgoin’ writes:
“In our visits to Vegas from Indiana we could usually count on Sam's Town for a better payout than strip casinos. Not so anymore. Last month Sam's slots were so thirsty, they drained us--sucked us dry very quickly. We won't be going back. They have lousy paybacks and comps as well...but we went there for the better payouts. We are bitter about their loyalty to their customers--or lack thereof.”

I have put together 6 slots that are great picks. All 6 offer payouts in the high 80-90’s and a hit frequency of 2-3 spins. Video poker players are sure to be interested in World Series of Poker: Final Table and two other popular VP versions found in the Slot Review section.
Slot descriptions/reviews are listed by Slot Name, Manufacturer, payout range offered, (low to high) and average hit frequency.
1) Corrida de Toros: Aristocrat. 2 spins. 90-92%.
The theme for this slot is found with the cap, matador and bull symbols.
The cape is a multiplying wild symbol subbing for any other symbol in a winning combo while the matador or bull offers the Match and Multiply feature. When you touch the symbol and two matching multipliers appear, the win is multiplier by 2, 3 or 5.
Three or more rose symbols gets you 10 free games where you select either the matador or bull. If your selection is displayed most often, all wins are multiplied by 5X, 10X, 50X or 100X.
Wagering on this 25 line video slot can be as high as 20 credits/line equaling a max bet of 500 coins.
The penny version usually resets at $200 for the Major prize and $20 for the Minor prize.
Additionally, the primary Corrida de Toros featured progressive can be awarded at random during any spin. The program picks one of five possible Bull Ladders while the player chooses their symbol. The correct choice moves the player up one rung of the ladder for the next round. If the player makes up to nine correct choices, the progressive jackpot is theirs. Three incorrect choices end the quest.
With the multitude of features and many ways to win, ‘riding the bull and playing matador’ just got more exciting.
2) Golden Chariots: Wms Gaming. 2-3 spins. 90-92%.
The unique feature and added excitement of this game is the Hot Hot Super Jackpot Respin. This feature is triggered, first by a side bet, and then when 3 or more scatter pay bonus symbols appear, you receive 15 free games. Now with the Hot Hot Respin in play, any time two of the bonus symbols land, the initial jackpots are paid and the bonus reels are frozen while the remaining reels respin once for another try at triggering the bonus.
If the bonus round is triggered this way, all jackpots on free spins are tripled.
During these respins, any win in which the Double Wild symbol appears is multiplied by six.
There is plenty of action at the 20-line version of this slot plus a 40% hit frequency rate resulting in a hit nearly every second spin.
You know this slot is ‘on fire’ when you watch the animated flame during the Hot Hot Super Jackpot Respin sequence.
3) Big Ben: Aristocrat. 2 spins. 88-97%.
London, Big Ben, double decker buses, tower guard and the royal crown fill the screen of this video slot available in 15, 20 and 25 line versions.
Find three or more scattered clocks and you receive 15, 20, or 25 free games along with multipliers. All wins are doubled during the free spin round.
Additionally, scattered clock symbols on reels 1 and 5; cranks up the second screen bonus even Big Ben. Listen for the Westminster Chimes for the bonus reward is based on the amount of chimes to a high of 12 that awards the progressive jackpot.
The sound, graphics and unique features make this a truly enjoyable slot to play.
No winding required.
4) Hot Shot Progressive: Bally. 2 spins-25 line. 86-96%.
This slot is the most innovative concept, I’ve seen for a while—5 games within a game.
Reel sized symbols from the popular Bally versions of Blazing 7’s, Diamond Line 777’s, Triple 777’s Double Jackpot, Triple 777’s and Triple Blazing 7’s dot the screen.
Each miniature slot game has its own pay schedule that comes into play during the bonus round on the way to the progressive jackpot.
Five separate increasing progressive jackpot bucks are displayed at the top of the screen each labeled with the name of one of the popular slots depicted on the reels.
When three or more of any of these games show up in a scatter sequence on the five reels, you get to play for all the progressives represented by the miniature slot symbols.
There are several configurations available from the manufacturer, but most likely, you will find the 20-line penny version with bets from 200-1000 coins.
Max bet is required to get to the big jackpots, therefore, $2-3/spin. For pennies, the top jackpot resets at $10,000. There is sure to be a rush for a Shot at this Hot Slot.
5) Money Money: Bally. 3 spins. 88-96%.
It’s all about the Money and the Multiplier Symbols— Double Money, Triple Money, Fives Times Money and Ten Times Money that increase the poker symbols by 2X to 10X. Toss in the Wild Money and Hot Cash icons for the top jackpot.
The math is as follows: a bonus symbol with a 2X and a 3X symbol pays 6X the winning jackpot. A 3X and a 5X pays 15X the winning jackpot.
Line up the King symbol with wild symbols of 2X, 3X, 5X and 10X pays 300X.
The big strike is for 5 Hot Cash symbols on an active line pays 100,000 coins X the line bet.
For your final math example, at max coin, that’s 5 million credits=$50,000.
Money, Money indeed!
6) World Series of Poker: Final Table: Wms Gaming. 2 spins. 94-100.81%.
This new entry into the world of Video Poker has a side bet that sits you down at the World Series of Poker. The main event consists of any of six VP versions--Jacks or Better, Joker Poker, Deuces Wild plus 3 different quad Bonus Poker. The variety of VP is a mix of low to full pay. The unique twist is a bonus bet (10-200 coins depending on denomination) for a possible seat at the World Series of Poker Final Table.
The deal consists of a two-card bonus hand along with the regular five-card hand. If an ace is included in the two-card hand, any win for the five-card hand is multiplied by three. If the bonus hand is a pair of Aces, the five-card win is multiplied by nine.
Any of Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces in the bonus hand triggers the Final Table Bonus.
This bonus hand then becomes a pocket pair as your first hand in a Texas Hold ‘em tournament vs. up to nine players. After each win, you move on until a loss or you beat all nine players at which time, your credits are totaled and paid based on your performance among all 10 players.
This is your chance to stand up, sit down and be a Poker Star!

1) Bonus Deuces Wild Video Poker |
An innovative video poker game, already hugely popular among land-based casino gamblers, where cards with a value of two, or deuces, as these are better known - are wild. Any deuce can substitute for any other card of any other suit - it really is like having four Jokers in the pack, and it gives a new and very appealing twist to a great casino standard.
Whenever players get one or more deuces in their final hand, Microgaming’s Viper software will automatically assign it a suit and value to give them the highest possible payout. This player-friendly facility ensures that it is a lot easier, and much faster to create potentially winning hands.
The screen layout has been developed with large, easily read card graphics that are dealt with smooth precision from the 52-card deck. The paytable features top ranking hands winning 5,000 coins on a Royal Flush, 2,000 on 4 deuces with an Ace and 1000 if you can put 4 deuces together.
Played at 5 coins a hand, in the range 0.25 to 5.00 a time, the maximum bet is $25.00 a hand, and at that level jackpots could deliver a generous $25 000.00.

2) Joker Poker |
This multi-hand video poker game sets new levels of excitement and action in this popular genre. Up to 100 hands of video poker can be played simultaneously at a time with a wide choice of wagers. For the gambler with a good bankroll and a penchant for action this is the ideal game.
Outstanding features include generous pay tables and an Auto Hold facility that holds the mathematically superior cards in the hand, but plays them only when and if the player wishes it.
Every hand is dealt from a separate and independent deck of 53 cards. The extra card is a Joker and is Wild, standing in for cards of any denomination and suit to complete a winning hand. When a Joker card is dealt, a suit and denotation are automatically assigned to the card giving the player the highest possible payout for the hand.
In addition to autohold, the analyser tables give guidance on current odds and cover permutations to help the player make the right decision - a valuable player tool that enables faster and more accurate play.

3) Mad Hatters |
This is a summer tea party with a difference, where with a little luck and good interactive judgment players can have their (tea)cake and eat it. It's a 5 real, 30 pay-line game with several unique firsts for online gaming; check out the different ways to win on more pay-lines and up to 50 free spins, and the innovative Extra Wild and Expanding Wild features.
See three, four or five Crazy Cuckoos on adjacent reels and an on-screen bonus feature is activated where players can choose three out of five birds and add the wins to their pay-line rewards. And those wins can add up to 11,100 coins.
Next, hope for the rabbit in the magician's hat that is the Scatter symbol, because three, four or five of these across the reels activates the free spin function where players can rack up the most free spins ever in a game on the Internet... up to 50. Scatter wins are multiplied by the player’s total bet, and wins within those free spins are multiplied by x2. With so many ways to win at Mad Hatters, the game will deliver hours of entertainment.

4) Starscape |
This video slot has some of the best artwork yet seen on the Internet: scintillating galactic graphics are matched with an exceptionally smooth-running 5 reel, 25 payline format with a host of entertaining features to give players a truly out of this world playing experience.
Wild, Scatter, Pick until Match Bonus Game and Multiplier features all deliver space age thrills, with brilliantly colored Saturn and its rings, giant Jupiter, fast moving icy asteroids and a fire-storming sun so real that you can feel the heat. The Bonus screen appears when three, four or five of the huge Scatter spacecraft majestically glide across your reels, triggering a giant window into space and 25 blocks from which players can select a multiplier that can launch wins into a different galaxy.
This slot has a maximum jackpot that can blast players to 70,000 in the base game, with a further 37,500 achievable on bonuses, all accompanied by a planet load of thrills and excitement.

Jackpot. Stating that “Route 66 is the only place I play,”, Clemmen observed that the slot had just hit for 200 and she thought, “this machine is back on again.” The big winner said she felt as if she was having a heart attack, “I cried, I couldn’t believe it.” Later she added, “I must find a good accountant.”

AC in the Record Books |
Josephine Crawford, 84, loves her slots even though her biggest win was only $1000. Now, she is in the record books for a huge hit of $10 million playing a nickel Megabucks at Harrah’s, Atlantic City. The largest previous win was $8.5 million.
The retired waitress plays a couple of times a week in AC since 1978 and this trip found her down to a final $5 before striking the winning jackpot.
Future plans include a trip to Italy, where her parents grew up and she plans to share her winnings with her two daughters, five grandchildren and three great-children. “Somehow, I’ll spend it. I’ll spend it at the casino and I might go to Vegas.”

Mad Hatter Serves up $200,000 |
Within days of launching one of its new video slots - Mad Hatters, Challenge Casino served up a $205,625 win for one lucky player. Known only as Michael A, the winner struck lucky on one of the new games.
“Extreme excitement”, was the player’s initial response to finding out he had won, especially as he was in the middle of a bonus game at the time so didn’t get a chance to see all the pays per line. “I saw the wilds line up line after line and just froze as the reels stopped. Then I just hopped out of my chair and said Oh Gosh! Or words to that effect!” he commented laughing afterwards.
Having already notched up total winnings of $77,730 with six previous wins, Michael A then went on to win a further $8,405 later that day, which might go some way to explaining why all his friends say he has the ‘Midas Touch’. Michael said he plans to spend his winnings on a few things for the house, but will put the rest away for a rainy day. However, a trip to his favorite vacation destination, Hawaii, was not ruled out.
