Top 5 Most Animated Slots for Real Money
Over the past 50 years, slots have taken over as the most popular game in a casino. Until that point, table games like Blackjack and Roulette reigned supreme; these games are still available, but they play second fiddle to the ubiquitous slot machine. One of the reasons why slots are such a hit is due to their simplicity. People like being able to sit down and do what’s intuitive: pull the lever (or in our case, hit the “Spin” button) and watch the action unravel. But there’s more to it than that.
With a huge array of themes and storylines, slots create opportunities to dive into a wonderfully unique world of your choosing. Browse the options, and you’ll come to realize that anything is possible with online slots. In this online slots guide, we’re going to preview five games in particular that raise the bar for online slots animation, so that you can deposit and play now—any way you want.
Slots don’t get much more animated than Gold Rush Gus. This 5-reel slot takes place underground where you’ll meet a friendly prospector named Gus. Every time you hit the “Spin” button, Gus walks through a cave and swings his pick ax into the ground to unearth the game symbols. Keep an eye out for Key symbols because when you land two, a mole emerges from the ground with a chest that contains a special prize. It could be gems that contribute to your jackpot meters, a map for the bonus game, an instant cash win, or the most coveted item of all: a diamond that triggers the progressive jackpot.
If you’re lucky enough to trigger a free spins session, you’ll see a second character show up. This oaf of a man swings a shovel to the ground to break free the game icons while rocks fall from above and hit him on the head. Another fun feature aptly named the “Lava Reels Re-Spin” appears mysteriously at the end of random losing spins; watch entire reels burst into lava and re-spin—hopefully triggering a more lucrative result than before.
A new addition to our casino, Monster Manor takes you to a haunted Victorian manor surrounded by a creepy cemetery. As you play the game, bats will fly over the reels, fog will creep under them and flames will flicker on candles in a truly mesmerizing visual experience. The bonus features are just as impressive as the graphics; a Black Cat serves as a wild during the base game and when three or more appear in a winning line, they apply a multiplier to the payout. During free spins mode, wilds that land on the third reel transform into the Witch character and expand to fill the entire reel.
Perhaps the spookiest bonus feature of all is the ghostly bonus game that takes you to a mausoleum inhabited by 12 spirits. You’ll get to pick ghosts and see what colored potions hide within each one; when you collect three matching potions, you’re awarded the coinciding payout, which is displayed on a paytable.
Enhanced graphics are the cornerstone of A Night with Cleo—a titillating 5-reel, 20-line slot that gets up close and personal with Egypt’s most sensual pharaoh. This game has a random progressive jackpot that always seems to be sky-high, but it’s the game’s Gamble feature that attracts the most attention.
Any winning spin can be Gambled by using the “Gamble” button at the bottom of the game screen. Gambling provides you with an opportunity to double your payout—at the risk of losing it altogether. The mini game has you choose one of two flowers presented by Cleopatra, and if you pick the one with gold coins, your payout is doubled, and—more importantly—Cleopatra celebrates by proceeding through one step of a strip tease. See just how far things go by further doubling your payout. As long as you keep guessing right, you can play the Gamble feature up to five times per win.
A 3D fantasy adventure awaits in Reign of Gnomes. This 243-ways-pay slot has a colorful crew of gnomes who inhabit a beautiful seaside castle. Every time you land a winning line, the gnome characters come to life on the reels, acting out their role in the story. One symbol that appears dominant over the rest is the scaled Dragon’s Egg, which initiates the game’s unique free spins session.
We guarantee that you’ve never seen a free spins mode as elaborate as the one in this game. Each spin is enhanced by a bonus determined by the Golden Wheel, which has six “boosters” included to supercharge your free spin. Depending on what you spin, you may get more wilds on Reels 2-4, or benefit from a Spin-to-Win feature that dismisses losing spins and has you keep going until you win (while also benefitting from an increasing multiplier). Three different multipliers are also included on the wheel, as well as a ticket to the game’s Ice Diamonds bonus round.
Goblins are the scary cousins of the gnomes, as you’ll see in this slot game. An animated introductory clip sets the stage and introduces you to the 3D characters, who continue to play a role during gameplay. The primary character, the trickster goblin, meanders along the reels, waiting for a wild to land beside it. When one does, he engages with the icon to change and enhance it.
To see the most goblin action, you’ll need to trigger free spins mode by landing at least three free spin scatters. This round calls forth all of the game’s goblins to boost wins simultaneously. Another scatter, the Bonus scatter, will force you to try thinking like a gold-hungry goblin as you try to determine which of three wild mushroom options will yield the highest reward. “Finders Keepers” is definitely the mantra of these cheeky goblins.
