Monopoly Hot Shot Mashup
Ever since Scientific Games acquired WMS Gaming in 2013 and Bally Technologies in 2014, it’s been inevitable that we would see WMS-Bally mashups in new slot machines.
Monopoly Hot Shot, on its way for 2018, combines long-standing successes from both companies.
Slot Stories from the Floor
Slot players love to share their stories when they win, and readers have contributed a couple of recent tales from their early days of playing.
Throwback Thursday: Slot Player Favorites
Every year, slot machine manufacturers roll out dozens of new games, and I’ll be featuring several coming attractions next month.
Before we ring in the new, though, let’s ring out a few old. I asked some of my slot-playing readers to tell me about old favorites that are long gone but they wish they could still play.
Slots Coming in 2018: Konami’s Beat Square
Skill-based gaming is a niche slot machine manufacturers hope to grow, especially as young players who grew up on video games come of age.
There are many approaches to attracting new gamblers, with one innovative new product being Konami Gaming’s Beat Square, expected to roll out early in 2018.
Reel Power Gives You 243 Ways to Win
After 20 years of multiline video slots in casinos, I find most players don’t even look to see the shapes of the paylines anymore.
When there were five lines or nine lines, everyone wanted to check to see how the lines ran and how their winning symbols lined up. With 30, 40 lines or more, most players today just accept their total winnings and move on. The 243-ways-to-win slots with no traditional paylines are another matter.
