3 Hot Movie Slots You May Have Missed

Leave a comment

We’re huge movie fans, and can quote movie lines until the entire room is annoyed. When we’re not spitting corny movie lines or arguing about which version of Star Wars is the best, we’re playing movie-themed slot games. Right now, we’re playing at Joy Casino because of the massive selection of really visual slots. It’s a great site with tons of games and the chance to play the slots for free before you commit to playing for real cash.

Here are the three slots that we thought of:

1. Jurassic Park

jurassic-park-online-slot-microgaming
This slot game is a little new, but the graphics look very polished. We had to mention this game first because it features the incredible 243 ways to win section, a wonderful way you can win big. You have free spins, scatters, and wilds…but everything is presented with really awesome graphics and fade-aways. Check this out before any other, you’ll be in for a real treat.

2. Dracula

Who doesn’t remember the first Dracula? There have been reboots and remakes, but we know the original Dracula character very well. Move over, Twilight: the real vampire movie is the star of the show.

The Dracula slot game is just plain fun. It’s a 40 payline video slot with a classic 5 reel structure. You get a lot of the usual features: free spins, wild symbols, and scatters. We thought this one was just too much fun!

3. Aliens

Aliens was a thrilling horror/alien themed film, and who can forget Sigourney Weaver’s stunning performance? The slot game has taken some of the best features of the movie and put them in the game. This slot is a 5-reel, 15-payline game with three graphically appealing rows. You get a lot of great features, including multipliers and free spins that can be triggered over and over again.

Licensed slots always get our attention, and this game was no different. The symbols match the different elements of the game, from the alien eggs all the way up to the Monster. The challenge of the slot is that you have to try to reach the Queen Hive despite all of the alien attacks.

We have plenty of other slots that caught our eye, but we only have so much space to write about everything. If you’re interested in other games, check out Joy Casino as soon as possible. And if you win big, make sure that you take the time to let us know!

With the growing number of online and mobile casinos that are emerging, and operators often trying to out do each other with their incentives, it can be hard for players to know which sites are worth signing up at and which should be avoided at all costs. Luckily, with PlayCasinoGames.com, UK players will be in very good hands as the ProgressPlay network has formed an impressive list of partnerships over the years, and has agreements in place with some of the world’s most respected gaming suppliers, including Microgaming, Cryptologic, Genesis Gaming, Rabcat, NextGen, Quickspin, Elk Studios, 2 By 2, and Leander.

In fact, they have a wealth of experience tucked under their belts and have achieved impressive levels of success with sites such as Mad About Bingo and Mad About Casinos. The company’s knowledge certainly seems to have given them the edge on other newcomers to the online and mobile casino games scene. Just one such example of this is the fact that PlayCasinoGames.com has been created using HTML5 so that the mobile version of the site is responsive to any screen size and device type. This also saves players from having to locate and download a specific iOS or Android application before they can commence playing, and has the added benefit of not eating into precious disk space.

The majority of games at this exciting, new casino can be played in both fun and demo modes. This gives players an excellent opportunity to try titles like roulette, baccarat, and blackjack out for size before committing to playing with real money. However, those who are keen to start playing with their funds as quickly as possible for a chance to win cash prizes will be generously awarded a 100% welcome bonus worth up to £200.

History of Online Casinos

1 Comment

It can be easy to think that online casinos have always been around, because there are so many of them. However, they are actually quite a recent thing, not starting until the middle of the 1990’s. It was not only legal restrictions that prevented this from happening before but also that the technology was not advanced enough. Then software was developed to make it possible for casino games to be played online.

In Antigua and Barbuda a law was passed to allow businesses to apply for licences to become online casinos. This started a growing trend and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission was established in Canada to issue gaming licences. It was just after this in 1996 when the first gaming sites opened. Some of the first ones were GamingClub and Intercasino.

casino
After this there were many more casino websites appearing. By the end of 1996 there were around fifteen and then by 1997 there were 200. Revenues from the sites was large as well being estimated to be over $800m in 1998 alone. Continue reading History of Online Casinos →

Is Vine Dying?

Leave a comment

When Vine peaked in popularity with the general masses in 2013, it was everywhere. You couldn’t go on Facebook without seeing a couple of Funny Vines in your newsfeed. So, where has all the popularity gone? Is Vine dying off just because the initial ‘shock factor’ has worn off? The short answer is no.

vine-screenshot

A large majority of people don’t realize that Vine was actually founded in 2012 by a few independent developers named Dom Hofmann, Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll. At this point in time, not many people had heard of the social network and it wasn’t until Twitter bought them out for $30 million that more people started to take notice. Ever since then, Vine has become Twitter’s new baby and they are showering it with attention. According to Alexa, Twitter is the 8th biggest website in the world, and has only gained popularity since it’s inception. It does not seem likely that such a huge corporation would let it’s newest acquisition die off, especially when it has found such a strong niche among teenagers. Instagram has even tried to replicate the success of Vine with 15 second long Instagram Videos, but hasn’t seemed to be able to reproduce the same magic of the 7-second video looping community.
