Welcome to day 1 of the Jackpot City Casino Blog. Immediately upon logging into the casino I get a message stating that 5 lucky players will each win free spins worth $250 on the Starscape Video Slot – all you have to do is wager $100 on any game to qualify. The promotion runs January 6th through 12th, so hopefully we’ll be able to wager $100 and may be one of the lucky winners!
Let’s start that wagering with some slots….
I’m going to go with the slot machine entitled the Wheel of Wealth to start off with. It’s a slot machine that has a bonus game. Here’s how it looks:
Also that button down at the bottom that says “Expert” – if you click on that it basically allows you to bet 5 spins in a row, 10 spins in a row, or autoplay.
This game is pretty simple – the wheel of wealth bonus feature is only triggered when the spin symbol appears on the third reel, and you have to bet the maximum three coins per spin. You can win up to 1,000 credits for every wheel of wealth bonus game.
While there is no such thing as slots strategy – betting the maximum 3 at all times obviously increases your chances of big wins. This is a fixed value slot too, meaning we will be betting $1 as a credit, and the maximum 3 credits per spin, so $3 a spin. Let’s hope we get lucky fast.
First two spins are complete duds, but we manage to hit a win on the next spin worth $18:
A few spins later we hit a cherry to basically return our $3 bet:
What I like about this slot machine however is that with the bonus icon being won on the 3rd reel, as well as any cherry winning you something – even if the first two reels are duds, you can still win something on the 3rd reel. So you’re always sitting there waiting and hoping.
We come very close to the bonus game a few spins later….
Then the very next spin we hit a nice $30 win with three BAR icons:
Jesus christ – we just had the ULTIMATE goddamn tease:
Look at that! if those wheel of wealth items appear on the payline we win FIVE THOUSAND FREAKING DOLLARS. Arrrrrrgh so close.
The very next spin is ANOTHER tease:
Another one of those bar icons would have been $240. Oh please stop teasing me so, you evil evil game.
The game continues to tease us, and before long I am down to $159. Yikes where did the money go? $66 blown already.
Alright that sucked – we’ll play some Bonus Poker Deluxe Video Poker to end off the night. Here’s what it looks like:
This is a standard video poker game, with no wildcards and the only exception is the high payout on the royal flush hand combinations.
It holds cards for you automatically:
And a few hands in we get a nice 40 payout as we hit a full house, aces full of fours:
This straight was a nice one:
As we held the 
and the 
came up.
You can see those buttons there – Double and Collect. If you click double you get a card dealt to you, and then the choice of 4 cards to click with the chance to double the amount you won if you pick a card with a higher value to win:
Of courses aces are considered high – so yeah, that sucked.
First draws like this are always nice:
Although with the higher payout for 4 of a kind I should actually be only holding the 3 of a kind.
The balance gets down to $152.25 and I decide to call it quits for the night. I gotta admit I really enjoyed that Wheel of Wealth slot – might revisit that before the week is out.
Back tomorrow, and in the meantime remember without even having to deposit or give your credit card information, you can get $25 free at Jackpot City Casino. Click here.
