Cashapilla is a new online slot from Microgaming and offers something a little more unusual by way of features. Similarly to the popular Vegas slot game "Wolf Run" from IGT and a game that features heavily in Macau casinos "50 Lions", Cashapilla has the concept known as "stacked wilds". This basically means that the Wild symbols come in strips which can cover every symbol on a reel, leading potentially to some bumper wins. Essentially, there are 5 reels and 100 paylines, with each reel displaying 5 symbols. There is a free spins feature that is trigerred by getting 3 "bonus" symbols in view simultaneously. This awards the player 15 free spins where all wins are trebled. With the WIld symbol also doubling wins, potentially each win could be x6. Additionally, if 3 or more "bonus" symbols appear during the free spins, the free spins retrigger with 15 more spins.
Initially this slot slipped by me, but once I discovered it, I must admit it's been on my hitlist ever since. It can be streaky, and it's not as low variance as perhaps a 100 line slot might suggest, but it does keep you ticking over on a lowish bankroll, with one or two decent 100x + wins thrown in from time to time, although you need a few Wild symbols to help you achieve that. Nice to see Microgaming do something a little different, and they've done it well this time. Well worth playing IMO.
The following online casinos all have the Cashapilla Slots game.
Review: Another Microgaming casino from the Fortune Lounge stable, one of the largest groups on the net. They have in the past employed some rather dubious marketing spam tactics, but the problems have been overcome and they seem to have re-establsihed themselves as one of the more popular casino groups. The website also offers Cantonese and Korean versions as well as the usual English while European and UK players should click the flag in the top right corner to download the intuitive software. Royal Vegas also features the rare Thunderstruck High Limit slot if you fancy spinning at $90 a shot! While cashout times are not the fastest out there, they do let you choose your method of withdrawal and will also flush withdrawals ahead of the reverse period if you email or Live chat with them which is to be applauded. On the subject of cashouts, note that the portion of the withdrawal less than or equal to the original deposited amount will always be refunded to the original depositing mechanism ie. Neteller, FirePay etc. The excess will be sent back to the mechanism you set up as the default. One thing to watch out for is that they often email their players regular deposit bonus offers irrespective of whether that player is elligible, so always check the terms before you participate. The casino accepts the following banking options: Credit and Debit cards.
Review: Lucky Nugget is part of the well regarded Belle Rock online casinos group. It's on Microgaming, so it has over 300 games and also offers monthly 100% match loyalty bonuses. Note that the first deposit bonus needs to be claimed within 72 hours of signing up or it is forfeited. Withdrawals are processed the day after requesting your cashout and unusually Lucky Nugget does cashouts at weekends too. The support response is slower than many (8 hours for me) and they don't alow cashouts back to a credit card, although they do give you plenty of other options. Support aside, Lucky Nugget was pretty good all-round, although UK and Europeans may find 32Red which has the same games, more suitable. It is probably among the most popular online casinos with Americans however. The casino accepts the following banking options: Credit and Debit cards.
Review: An underrated Microgaming Viper casino that has generally lived in the shadows of it's peers and is currently offering a $1,000 & 60 minutes free play promotion to all new players with no deposit required. Aside from over 300 games in the download software and a Flash casino option, there are several types of signup bonus and the short reverse time means cashouts are generally processed within 24/36 hours. Additionally, River Nile is one of the few casinos that process cashouts 7 days a week. It gets all the new games as soon as they are released and with slots tournaments added in December 2007, River Nile is a decent casino that is steadily growing in popularity. One thing that used to let it down was the poor loyalty scheme and slow support, but it sounds as if these areas have been attended to and improved. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Ecocard (non US), Instadebit, Moneybookers, NETeller, QuickTender, Ukash, Credit and Debit cards.
Review: USA focused riverboat themed online casino from the reputable Belle Rock stable. I also found a unique River Belle branded slot machine called the "Belle Rock Slot" as an extra, which is identical in features to the popular Thunderstruck slot (also present) with it's 15 free spins/all wins trebled bonus feature! Being Belle Rock, there are no problems getting paid promptly, although I found Belle Rock online casinos (which also boasts Lucky Nugget, Jackpot City and the oldest of the online casinos in The Gaming Club) support slow at 8-12 hours compared with many of the smaller independent casinos listed here - polite enough, but I'd like to see it improved. That said I received our first cashout on a Saturday, following a Friday cashout, as they process winnings 7 days a week (after the reverse time prior to processing had expired obviously) The casino accepts the following banking options: Credit and Debit cards.
Review: 7 Sultans is an Eastern themed casino running under the Fortune Lounge banner. A very respectable and trustworthy group with a clever grouped loyalty VIP scheme which allows you to play any of their casinos and pool the rewards. The bonuses here are average, though the gameplay is smooth and choice excellent. Well it's a Microgaming casino so i guess that much is expected! Support is average, though rarely needed to be fair and the group in general tend to look after the loyal players well. Definately up there. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Ecocard (non US), Entropay, FirePay, NETeller, Instadebit, PaySpark, UseMyBank, QuickTender, Credit and Debit cards.
Review: First the good news. Intertops online casino still accepts ALL USA Residents and it has some 300 casino games in it's download version and around 150 in the instant play flash casino. It also has it's own banking system that seemed a little complicated the first time I used it, but does work well. On the downside, Intertop's process for ID checks means your first cashout could take 14 days, which is longer than most online casinos, but once you are over that, it's 48 hours or less. There are better Microgaming online casinos listed here IMO, but for some US punters it's the only Microgaming online casino that will take them. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Ecocard (non US), FirePay, NETeller, Credit and Debit cards.
