Game 3 - Civilitreasures

Civilitreasures is a History themed Slot Machine on Slotomania, and is unlocked at level 4. This game has 20 pay lines. The default bet is 1 coin per line for a total bet of 20.

Civilitreasures is the first game to feature 20 pay lines. The payouts in this game are a lot higher than in the two previous games -- Farm Fortune and Bubble Rumble. Notice the paytable below - 5 Columbus' pays out 10,000 coins!



Paytable:

There is a scatter symbol on all 5 of the reels. Getting 3 or more scatters awards 5, 15, or 30 Free Spins respectively. You earn the same amount of Free Spins in Bubble Rumble, except if you get all 5, you get 25 in that game and 30 in this game.

Unlike the previous games, The Bonus symbols in Civilitreasures only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. You have to get all 3 of them on an active pay line to start the bonus game. Trust me, it's very frustrating to finally see all 3 bonuses and then they aren't on a pay line!




The Bonus Game in Civilitreasures is pretty neat. You begin by selecting one of the three historical locations on the map. You are then presented with a room full of items. You pick the items in the room to reveal prize amounts. The Bonus game ends if you find 2 skulls.

Final Thoughts: Civilitreasures is one of those games that I feel has a lot of potential, but it just isn't all there. The theme is cool - can't go wrong with history, and the graphics/sounds are cool. My main complaint is getting the bonus round. Trying to get all 3 bonuses to line up on a payline on only 3 reels can take a really long time. What's even more frustrating is when you finally get a bonus game, and then pick 2 skulls right away and don't even get your bet back. I think if the bonus games came up more frequently, it would be more fun. However, the bonus game does pay really good from time to time - so it can be worth the wait! Continue Reading...

Game 2 - Bubble Rumble

Bubble Rumble is the 2nd game unlocked on Slotomania, at Level 2. This game features 15 pay lines. Similar to the first game, Farm Fortune, this one features a bonus game, scatters, and a variety of symbols to match.

Bubble Rumble is a quirky game with smiley faces (Bubbles). The graphics, music, and other features all work together really nicely in this game.

The smiley faces are the highest paying symbols (as shown below), and there are royals (J,Q,K,A) that give smaller payouts. The payouts are decent in this game. Even getting all 5 of the lowest paying symbol (The J's) will more than triple your bet. The wild symbol in this game is the cannon, which can be used as any symbol except a scatter or bonus game.

Bubble Rumble Paytable:

Getting 3 scatters anywhere on the board will give you 5 Free Spins, 4 scatters gives you 15 Free Spins, and all 5 scatters give you 30 Free Spins. This is much better than Farm Fortune, which only gives 5, 10, or 20 Free Spins respectively.

Getting 3 or more of the King Bubble icons on an active pay line will start the "Bubble King" Bonus Game. Getting 3 of the Bonus Game icons on multiple pay lines at once will award larger bonuses, along with getting 4 or 5 bonus game icons.



The bonus game is set up looking like a classic "Bust A Move" or "Bubble Shooter" game. You begin by shooting a bubble at one of the seven bubble combinations on the bottom row to reveal your first prize. There are no "Game Over" spots on the first row. You then select one of the six combinations in the 2nd row, and keep going until you either clear all 4 rows, or reveal a Game Over.

Final Thoughts: Bubble Rumble is one of my favorite games to play. I've gotten really lucky with the bonus games and have won as much as 5,000,000 coins on it. I also really like the game because of the smiley faces and the music, it just has a happy feel to it. Even though it only has 15 pay lines, the payouts are decent. The fact that there is a wild on all 5 reels also helps, too. Continue Reading...

Game 1 - Farm Fortune

Farm Fortune is the first game available in Slotomania... the game that starts it all! Farm Fortune has 9 pay lines where you're trying line up different vegetables and animals to win coins. Bets can be as low as 0.01 coin per line, and the Max Bet rises depending on your level. Included is a bonus game, and Free Spins triggered by getting scatters on the reels.

For a 9 pay line game, Farm Fortune can actually pay out pretty well. Many of your wins at least give you your bet back. Unfortunately, with only 9 pay lines, you can have many losing spins in a row. The barn symbol is wild, and counts as any symbols except Scatter or Bonus.

 The farm animals are the highest paying symbols on this game, while are the vegetables (and sunflower) are much lower. For a game with 9 pay lines, the payouts are actually pretty good -- If you're lucky enough to win. The biggest win is earned by getting all 5 wilds in a row, for 10,000 coins (times your bet).


Farm Fortune Paytable:

The scatter symbol in this game is the tractor. Getting 3, 4, or 5 scatters will give you 5, 10, or 15 Free Spins respectively. You can get more scatters during your Free Spins to trigger even more Free Spins. After you complete your free spins, you are able to send 10 Free Spins to your friends who also play Slotomania.

Getting 3 Scarecrows on an active pay lines begins the "Beat The Mole" Bonus Game. Trying to get all 3 on one of the 9 pay lines can be very challenging. Persistence is the key! Getting 4 or all 5 on a pay line provides higher payouts in the bonus round.




The Bonus Game starts with 4 rows of vegetables. Starting at the bottom row, you pick one of them to reveal a prize. Finding the golden pumpkin will award you all of the prizes for that row. You then pick a vegetable from the next row. Watch out for the mole, picking it will end the bonus round. There are no moles on the first row, but each row after the first has more moles. Your total winnings are determined by the number of points you've picked in the bonus round, times your bet.

Final Thoughts: Farm Fortune is a fun game to play. The graphics & sounds are fun and cute. If you get lucky, you can really get on a hot streak and win big in this game. Alternatively, you can also lose badly in it (Like any other game, I guess!). The real downside of this game is that it only has 9 paylines, while the rest have 15 or more. Continue Reading...
