Zulu Gold is a video slot developed by ELK Studios with 262,144 ways to win. There are expanding reels, free spins, multipliers that increase, stacked symbols, and more. The RTP of this highly volatile slot is 95%, and the top prize is 10,000x.
It is the sixth slot in ELK Studios’ series of slots featuring the brave explorer Kane. This game features a few things from previous releases, like expanding reels and colossal symbols, along with new features that make for a genuinely thrilling experience.
Slot Features
In Zulu Gold, there are many special symbols that each provide a unique function that improves players’ chances of winning:
Colossal Symbols
The wild symbol and all paying symbols appear as colossal symbols. On the reels, they can occupy 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 spaces and perform some pretty cool functions
Under the colossal symbol, if there is a space left empty, symbols to match it will be placed in that space.
If a colossal symbol falls below any regular symbols of a smaller size, the colossal symbol will smash them. Wild symbols, bonus symbols, or symbols that are the same size will not be destroyed.
Zulu Stacks
Getting Zulu Stacks helps you land wins and expand the reel set more easily. Symbols can be stacked two, three or four positions high.
Spreading Wilds
There is also a special significance to the wild gold lion symbol. It will appear in each cascade in a single spin, creating trails of wilds as it travels across the reels.
Charged Wilds
They look like Zulu Stacks, but they are actually wilds with extra lives.
Verdict
We’ve enjoyed all of the ELK Studios Gold slots, but Zulu Gold is an absolute standout. The graphics and mechanics of this game are both excellent:
The increasing multipliers in the free spins bonus are another welcome addition.
The Big Six Wheel, or as it’s referred to, the Wheel of Fortune, is an unequal game of chance and part of a class of classic games known as carnival games. It’s a simple game where players place bets on numbers, and every land-based casino under the sun has the Big Six Wheel typically at their entrance. Online Casinos also have live game show versions of the game, and the Wheel used, almost always contains 54 individual slots.
Big Six Wheel’s Rules
On the Wheel, you will see spaces displaying dollar amounts ranging from $1, $2, $5, $10 OR $20, along with two “logo” spaces featuring the casino’s logo or emblem. To start the wheel spinning, players must place their bets in the corresponding area in front of the Wheel. The dealer spins the Wheel for three rotations. The needle stops in the winning space when the revolutions are complete. All prizes get paid out to the lucky winners. Never place a bet after the Wheel has started spinning
There are also Big Six spinoffs at online casinos, including games like Lucky Wheel and Spin to Win. The most notable version of this game is Evolution Gaming’s Live Online Dream catcher.
Conclusion
Big Six Wheel isn’t like online Roulette or Blackjack when it comes to house edge; however, it can lead to some decent winnings with the right approach. Consider the volatility levels with specific bets unless you have a massive bankroll chasing the bigger prizes. Gamesys offers an online version of Big Six with an over 2% house edge and Dream Catcher a house edge of 4.66% for a $1 bet. The key to playing any game of chance s research; it helps you identify the best variations to play and enjoy more rewards and winnings.
Introduction
Sic Bo is another casino dice game. It’s also known as tai sai, big or small, dai sui and hi-lo, and it’s an unequal game of chance originating in Ancient China and played with three dice. It is also trendy in Macau and Asian Casinos. The game has a few variants, including an English variant called Grand Hazard and a US version called Chuck a Luck.
How To Play Sic Bo
It’s a game of chance and easy to learn; however, you may feel overwhelmed when looking at the Sic Bo table. The main aim of the game involves betting on a specific dice outcome. To get rolling, you need to place your bets, and the gaming software then rolls the three dice, showing random outcomes. You win when every number or sum you have predicted comes up and lose for incorrect predictions.
Betting Options in Sic Bo
Sic Bo has several betting options, and we will cover a few, which are:
-
Small and big Bets- The small bet is when you bet on any number between and including 4 and 10. The big bet is when the sum between and includes 11 to 17. These bets have the best odds.
-
Other Sum Bets- Here, you get to choose one specific sum, anything between and including 4 to 17.
-
Single Dice Bet- when making a Single Dice bet, you predict a specific number will appear on any one or all three of the Dice.
-
Double and Triple Bets- When you feel lucky and are certain one or two of the Dice will come up with the same number; you will want to make a double bet that pays 10 to 1. The same applies to triple bets; however, here, you get to bet on all three dice having the same number, and it pays 30 to 1.
Give this game of chance and roll your way to some decent wins.
Neon Valley Studios’ Queen of Alexandria is a video slot released on Microgaming’s Quickfire platform. Players can bet between 0.10 and 20 credits per spin, and the RTP is 92.50%. The slot includes expanding wilds, re-spins, and Microgaming’s WOW POT progressive jackpot.
Slot Features
In terms of the features and bonuses of the slot, the software provider has kept things pretty simple.
Expanding Wild Re-spins
Cleopatra, the legendary queen of Alexandria, is the main wild symbol in Queen of Alexandria, and she can appear on reels 2 to 4. She will expand when she lands in view.
The wild reel will lock and award a free re-spin as soon as a new win is formed. On the re-spin, any further Cleopatra symbols that land in view will also lock in place – paying out any wins – and a further re-spin is awarded.
Jackpot Feature
The progressive jackpot bonus round is the highlight of Queen of Alexandria. Upon activating the progressive jackpot bonus round, you will be taken to a giant wheel of fortune. Upon spinning this wheel, the notch will land on one of the four colours; green, red, blue and yellow.
You’ll receive the progressive jackpot if your notch lands on the yellow segment of the wheel (albeit the smallest segment) as it awards the ‘WOWPOT’ jackpot that is currently worth over 4,000,000 Euros.
Verdict
Queen of Alexandria may lack originality, but jackpot chasers are unlikely to mind as long as they have a chance to win big. At the time of publication, the highest jackpot was worth an eight-figure sum, and while it’s unlikely we’ll ever see the slot produce wins as big as those seen on Mega Moolah and its counterparts, it’s evident that the potential is there.
Introduction
Vanessa Selbst is a professional poker player with a law degree from Yale. Her outstanding results have put her in the top 100 of the overall All Time Money List with career tournament winnings just shy of $12 million. Vanessa was extremely popular on the poker circuit. She was an aggressive player and never hid her emotions. In 2018, Vanessa announced she was retiring. This shocked the professional poker community as she had an impressive track record and was a Poker Stars Team Pro Member with many more good innings ahead of her.
A Worthy Career
Vanessa got introduced to poker during her teen years, and the game mesmerized her, leading to her climb to stardom in the 2006 WSOP, where she made the final table of the $2000 No-Limit Hold’em Tournament, finishing in 7th place and winning $101 285. It was the start of this New Yorkers rise in the poker community, and over the years, she achieved six-figure scores and won her first WSOP bracelet in 2008, where she netted over $250 000.
In 2010 she won the prestigious title in the North American Poker Tour Main Event, banking a prize of $750 000 for her first-place win, and went back to back, winning the same event the following year to the tune of $450 000. Her biggest career win was the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event in September 2010, and she walked away with a whopping $1 8 million. Vanessa went on to win another two WSOP bracelets, one in 2012 and the second in 2014, becoming the only female player with three bracelets from open events.
Where is she Now?
Vanessa walked away from the poker community because she felt it was no longer fun, and the stress of constant scrutiny got to her. Vanessa still plays in the occasional Tournament.
