LATEST ARTICLE: Video Slots are ALL the RAGE
Slot machines, both in brick and mortar casinos and online have experienced some drastic innovations and improvements over the past year or two. The latest slot craze to hit the casinos, both online and off, is Video Slots. These new types of slots are a combination video game and slot machine. Some are even modeled after video games, like the latest and one of the coolest of these new breed of slots machines, Tomb Raider*.
The look of video slots is quite different from regular slot machines since these machines make use of "virtual slot reels" that are rendered through video imaging and look absolutely nothing like the mechanical reel slots that we are all used to.
Some of the advantages of video slots are that they can have multiple payline configurations that offer winning spins via a multitude of different payoff combinations. Video slots are also visually stunning as the graphics that most use are state-of-the-art and made by some of the most technically advanced game designers in the industry.
Video slots with bonus rounds enable players to benefit from even more opportunities to win slot cash via special rounds, called bonus rounds, which players enter when a special symbol, or combination of symbols, appears in the proper spot (or spots) on one of the pay lines. Bonus rounds are exciting because players do not have to insert any more money or use any of their own credits to play in these rounds. Sometimes, these rounds are timed, adding to the sense of urgency and excitement that comes from playing a fun, fast-paced game where monetary rewards are possible. (Note: In bonus rounds on most slot machines, the player is guaranteed to win some amount, the question is just 'How much?')
Sometimes the bonus rounds on various video slots incorporate games of skill that the player can attempt. These types of bonus slots are exciting because, the more skillful the player is at the bonus round game, the more money he or she can win!
The earliest predecessors to the video slots of today, were slot machines such as Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy that are typical 3 reel slots with bonus rounds that are entered when a special symbol appears on the third payline. The bonus rounds on these slots were played using either a mechanical wheel in the Wheel of Fortune slot machine or a Jeopardy board in the Jeopardy slot.
The next incarnation of today's video slots were the types of slot machines that combined your typical "reel slot" with a video screen (usually above the reels) on which the bonus round would be played. These games sometimes involved skill activities, such as shooting whiskey bottles for bonus cash or navigating a busy street for points, which were then redeemable for cash or downloaded as credits directly onto the machine.
Today, online casinos have taken video slots into all new directions, with exciting video-game based slots, multiple bonus rounds and payline configurations, and gigantic, progressive jackpots, which were unheard of online until about two or three years ago. The team here at Play Video Poker Slots is committed to bringing you the latest slots games to arrive online, we will always make these games available for you to play for FREE and will make every attempt to offer the latest video slots and other casino games available to our visitors in a No Download, No Registration format so that you don't waste your time entering information when you would rather be playing the latest slots to come to your favorite online casino.

SLOTS NEWS
The World Famous Tomb Raider™ Brand Has Been Licensed By Microgaming New Tomb Raider Video Slot a First for the Online Gambling Industry
Usually, when you play online slots, you don't see the 'Big Name' Games, like Wheel of Fortune™, I Dream of Jeanie™, Texas Tea™ etc. simply because these brands are very expensive to license. Casinos pay big bucks to offer these popular, theme-based slots to their patrons.
Online casino gaming software providers do a great job of offering state-of-the-art games that are similar to your favorite land-based slots, albeit with different names and slightly different themes. Many of these online slots have a similar look and feel to your favorites, but they are not exact duplicates of the games you would find at your local casino. But now an online software gaming company, Microgaming, has beaten the land-based casinos to the punch by licensing the tremendously popular video game brand Tomb Raider™.
On October 25, 2004, a leading turnkey provider of online gambling software, Microgaming, has licensed the Tomb Raider™ brand from Eidos, one of the world's leading developers and publishers of entertainment software. The deal will see Microgaming launch a new online video slot game themed around the world famous video game series Tomb Raider™ and its star character, Lara Croft™.
Tomb Raider™ is a global phenomenon. The video game series has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and it is the number one selling franchise on PlayStation in Europe and the United States. It has also spawned two Hollywood blockbuster movies with Angelina Jolie playing the starring role, as the real-life Lara Croft on the silver screen.
The game has been developed as a 5 reel, 15 payline, multiple coin video slot with a Wild and Scatter Symbol, Bonus Feature and Free Spins. Tomb Raider is the first Microgaming video slot where the player can win entry into the Bonus Feature from the Free Spins.
Players can bet up to 5 coins on each of the 15 paylines, taking the maximum wager per spin to 75 coins in a range of denominations from a cent right through to a dollar.
The brilliantly vivid, richly colored graphics carry an exotic treasure theme full of mysterious golden idols, magnificent tigers, the familiar Tomb Raider logo and of course the inimitable Lara Croft herself. With the right combinations, a wide variety of entertaining bonuses, scatters, free spins and wild symbol rewards are possible, most contributing to the end payline.
With a maximum bet, winnings of up to $37,500 are possible and with the Free Spin x3 multiplier feature that reward can balloon to $112,500.
In the game, the Tomb Raider logo is wild and substitutes for all symbols except scatters and bonus idols and, 3, 4 or 5 bonus idols on the active payline will trigger an entertaining Tomb Bonus where rewards are added to payline wins. This can be triggered during Free Spins too, with choices of 3, 4 or 5 reward idols from a selection of 12 displayed in a hidden rocky tomb.
Microgaming representative Mark Fredericks said, "The licensing of such a globally recognized brand as Tomb Raider is a coup for us. While working on this new online video slot, we have seen some great graphics come out of our studios."
