The acquisition of Cryptologic by the Canadian company Amaya Gaming has proved a boon for the online casino software developer. Since the takeover Cryptologic has been releasing new and exciting online slots at a fairly regular pace. Four new slots machines have gone live late last week. InterCasino is the Cryptologic online casino recommended for Canadian players.
Two of these are Marvel Comics super hero online slots based on Captain America and Wolverine. The slot machines are sub titled Action Stacks and are a makeover of the earlier Marvel Progressive Jackpot slots. The super hero, which is the wild symbol, can appear stacked on the reels. Since the slot games have 50 paylines they have four rows across the reels and the stacks can be four high. By and large the same symbols and animations are used as in the progressive jackpot versions of these slots. When the designated scatter symbol appears simultaneously on reels 2, 3 and 4 a payout of two times the total bet is awarded and the bonus feature with 20 free spins is activated. The payouts are doubled during the free spins, which can be retriggered. In Wolverine the scatter symbol is Sabretooth and in Captain America it is the Captain America logo.
Armadillo Artie is set in the desert regions of the American West and features animals and icons from this region. Armadillo Artie is a horizontally expanding wild symbol and turns all symbols to the right in the same row into wilds. This is a new Cryptologic innovation. The free spins bonus is activated by the sheriff’s badge. 10 free spins are awarded and payouts are awarded both left to right and right to left. The free spins cannot be retriggered. The bowling pins trigger the bonus game on the second screen. Three bowling alleys are displayed and the player gets one roll for each alley. The player can choose from left, right and centre rolls.
Valley of the Scarab has the popular ancient Egypt theme. This slot game has 100 paylines and four symbols across the reels. The scarab is the wild symbol and can appear stacked on the reels. The scarab symbol also awards line payouts. If all symbols on the reels are scarabs the bumper payout is further multiplied five times. When the Anubis symbol appears scattered on reels 1, 3 and 5 the free spins feature is triggered. 7 free spins are awarded to the player. Each free spin is given a randomly announced multiplier from 2 times to 8 times. The free spins can be retriggered. When the free spins are first triggered the player is awarded a payout of twice the total bet.
