Introduction

Since their invention in the late 1800s, slot machines have been a staple of the gambling industry. As technology has evolved, these classic casino fixtures have found new life in the digital realm. The history of online gaming with slot machines is a fascinating journey that has seen many twists and turns, ultimately leading to the sophisticated and entertaining options we enjoy today. Let’s explore the milestones and innovations that have shaped this thriving industry.

 

The Dawn of the Digital Age: The 1990s

The first online casinos emerged in the mid-1990s, thanks to advancements in the internet and computer technology. Microgaming, a software company founded in 1994, is widely regarded as the pioneer of online casino gaming. They introduced the first online casino in 1996, and soon after, the first online slot machine was born. These early online slots were simple and limited in features, but they laid the foundation for a new era in gambling.

 

The Rise of the Video Slot: The 2000s

The new millennium saw rapid advancements in technology and internet connectivity, paving the way for a fresh wave of online slot machine innovation. With the introduction of video slots, game developers began to push the boundaries of the traditional slot format. Video slots featured immersive graphics, thematic designs, and engaging storylines, offering players an unprecedented gaming experience.

During this period, developers such as NetEnt and Playtech emerged as industry leaders, creating iconic titles like Starburst and Age of the Gods. Another significant development in online slot machines was the introduction of progressive jackpots, which linked multiple games together and allowed players to win life-changing sums of money.

 

The Mobile Revolution: The 2010s

The 2010s ushered in the era of mobile gaming, with smartphones and tablets becoming the preferred devices for many online casino players. Developers quickly adapted to this trend, optimizing their games for mobile play and creating dedicated mobile apps. This accessibility made online slot machines even more popular, as players could now spin the reels from virtually anywhere.

 

The Present and Future: VR, AI, and Beyond

Today, online slot machines have come a long way from their humble beginnings. They offer a rich variety of themes, features, and bonus rounds, ensuring that there is something for everyone. As we look to the future, we can expect even more immersive experiences, with the integration of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

 

Conclusion

The history of online gaming with slot machines is a testament to the power of innovation and the resilience of the gambling industry. From simple beginnings in the 1990s to the immersive and sophisticated options available today, online slots have consistently evolved to captivate and entertain players around the world. As technology continues to advance, we can only anticipate what exciting developments the future holds for these digital casino classics.

You might remember the famous slot from BTG – Donuts? Chocolate is picking up where the previous version left and is oozing the sweet stuff! This slot still looks small, but is full of potential, lets take a closer look!

 

Overview

The graphical elements and animations feels littlebit smoother this time. The game itself is sitting in the 4×4 grid surrounded by mountains, forests and meadows. Sounds are not that special, just some chirping bird noises, but they work quite well with this slot. As nice touch, there is cuckoo running out when bonus is awarded.

Chocolate has 256 ways to wins in regular play, but when box symbols are in play, it can go as high as 2,401 win ways without increasing the gamegrid.

 

Features

As you can already imagine, this slot and its features are quite simple. The most important feature is the yellow boxes with text BTG on them. They can appear anywhere and can reveal up to 4 premium symbols. If you have more than one box in view, they will always reveal the same symbol.

 

The second feature is of course free spins. If you get 3 (7 freespins) and 4 clock hands scatter will give you 10 free spins. When the feature starts, one or more of the scatters will turn into a sticky box. All box symbols during the free spins are sticky. If a full reel is covered by these boxes, 3 extra free spins are awarded.

 

Chanz verdict

This slot has a very high volatility, but this was expected. Gameplay might seem a littlebut uneventful, but since Chocolates offers massive win possibilites, it is very interesting to play when you know there is huge rewards waiting when you hit the “good run”. Max win for this slot is huge 65,536 in one single spins. Overall, this is a good game but not that different from Donuts.

Join us to journey across Africa!

Africa, the home of the Wildebeest.  This new release from Play’n GO is really something different and exciting, so lets take a closer look!

 

Overview

Did you know that the more familiar name for wildebeest is gnu? You will propably realise this when you open this slot first time and the safari themed games opens. Behind it, you will find Savannah grass, hills and trees. Beautiful game graphics again presented by Play’n Go.

The slots from Play’n GO have usually quite high volatility, so it was about time from them to release a slot with medium volatility. Win-A-Beest is classified as 6/10. Paytable is a blend of African themed icons and the regular J-A symbols.

 

Features

Things goes very mental here quicky, thanks to functions like Beest Mode, Beest Mode spins and Stampeding spins.

 

Beest Mode can be triggered randomly during the main game and free spins. In this feature, all reels expand to full capacity and to 1,024 win ways. All the standard symbols will be removed and replaced with scatters, wild multipliers and Win-A-Beests. If 3 scatters or more appears in Beest Mode, then the Beest Mode Free Spins are activated. In theory this feature can be retriggered indefinetly.

 

If you land 3 scatters during the base game, you will be activating the Stampeding Spins feature. This is played in 1,024 win ways grid. During this feature, all scatters will be remaining on the wheels and due to that it is possible to retrigger this function again and again.

 

Chanz verdict

 

This slot is certainly something new after the endless Rich Wilde copies published by Play’n Go. If has some pretty cool features and interesting base game. Not to talk about the medium volatility. Max win for this slot is also around 5,120 x stake but in theory it can go up to 10,240 times the stake! Not bad!

Do you remember the classical slot called Medusa? Then we have good news for you! Play’n Gos new slot with Rich Wilde comes bundled with Medusas Respins and Gaze Free spins!

 

Basics

As we already mentioned, this is the 5th online slot in the Riche Wilde category. It has become one of the greatest hits for this Swedish developer. As you can already guess from its name, you will find Rich Wilde to explore the secrets of Atlantis and Shield of Athena. Athena is using a special shield Aegis, and she is sometimes giving it out to her favourite customers.

In this sequel, Riche Wild is joined by his daughter Cat Wilde, so it will be a father-daughter trip to the secrets of Atlantis.

This new slot uses 10 paylines in 5 reels and 3 rows grid format. Surrounding the grids you will find columns in Greek style and lots of water. Bets in this slot starts from 0.10 EUR / 1 SEK.

Shield of Athena’s volatility is rated to 10/10 creating a 10,000x potential for the max win.

 

Features

 

Medusa Respin feature

This feature can be activated on any spins if Shield on Athena lands on the reels. When triggered, a respin is awarded and Shield of Athena symbol is transformed to a wild and are held in position together with winning symbols. After that a new re-spins is awarded (if there was a win or new Shield of Athena symbols).

 

Medusa Gaze Free Spins

This feature is triggered when 3-5 Cat Wilde scatters lands in the grid and awards 10, 12 or 15 Free Spins. During this feature you will also enjoy the Medusa Respins feature. Free Spins can be triggered unlimited timed when you get 3 or more Cat Wilde Scatters during the feature.

 

Chanz verdict

 

This slot is very well made, and well in the same style as previous ones. It does not offer any earthquaking new features, but it is stylish and everything works well together. Only negative thing might be the high volatility, so you can expect lots of dead spins sometimes, but with the max win 10,000x there is some huge potential in this slot.

We might even call this slot a sequel to Book of Dead, it will propably become a new favourite slots for those who love the Rich Wilde genre.

Great Rhino Megaways – Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic goes Megaways

🇸🇪 Läs detta på svenska härifrån

🇪🇪 Loe seda artiklit eesti keeles siin

 

Pragmatic Play is joining the forces with its first real Megaways slot. Great Rhino Megaways offers up to 200,704 ways to win and comes with several Free Spins volatility settings.

 

Overview

Megaways slots are licensed from Big Time Gaming and Pragmatic has now acquired a license for this new slot. They have played it quite safe and releasing a familiar slot with Great Rhino concept that you might have seen from William Hill and Pragmatic earlier. This new variant is quite nice, but dont offer that much new in the gaming front.

Visually you will see the same African layout that is already in the previous games with some exotic background sounds and drum effects. Basicly this slot is a perfect example how Megaways slot works and looks.

 

Game Play

This slot is played with 6 reels and they have 2-7 symbols on them. The familiar bonus reel is located above reels 2-5. And no surprise here, when a winning combination is achieved, it will trigger a chain reaction where the winning symbols are removed and new symbols will cascade into the empty slots. This will continue until there is no winning combinations.

 

Features

 

It is all about Free Spins here. Golden Rhino is functioning as scatter, and you need atleast 4 of them to trigger the free spins feature. Here is a small change though, you can choose from 4 different Free Spins modes:

 

  • 15 free spins with starting multiplier 1x.
  • 10 free spins with a starting multiplier of 5x.
  • 5 free spins with a starting multiplier of 10x.
  • Mystery: Will award random number of free spins and random multiplier to start with.

 

Every tumble/cascade during the free spins will increase the multiplier by 1 and there is no upper limit. Free Spins are re-triggered if you get 4 or more scatters and will then add 5 extra free spins.

There is also a extra feature which is called Ante Bet. When available, player can increase the bet which adds more scatter to the reels and doubles the chance of free spins. This feature is not available in all countries. In some cases, you have also possibility to buy the Free Spins feature.

 

Chanz verdict

Great Rhino Megaways is not bringing that much new to the table. Pragmatic Play has taken the safe route here for their first release in this genre, and we think it is a good approach. This is a well done Megaways slot with smooth animations and slick gameplay. Max win is also up to 20,000 times your stake so there is a good potential in this game. Only negative side might be the volatility, this slot has been classed as extreme volatile with 10/10 so there will be lots of dead spins in the base game. All the magic will happen in Free Spins mode. Come to chanz.com and test this slot when its released!
