Jack and the Beanstalk Slot

 

Jack and the Beanstalk is an English fairy tale, which originally appeared with the title of ‘The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean’ in 1734. It would later become known as ‘The History of Jack and the Bean-Stalk’ in 1807 before being re-wrote by Joseph Jacobs in 1890 to most closely resemble the tale as it is known today. In fact, this isn’t the only story to feature the title character of Jack, it’s just the most popular of them all. Of course, in the tale, he is a young boy living with his widowed mother and a dairy cow, which is their only source of income. One day the cow stops giving milk and Jack takes it to the market to be sold.

He is offered magic beans for it by an old man on the way, and it’s these beans which Jack’s mother tosses to the ground in anger. These beans then grow into the titular beanstalk, allowing Jack to climbs up it and find a castle which is filled with riches and a giant! And, as the opening video package of this game shows, he takes it upon himself to steal some of the riches, including a harp that plays itself and a goose that lays golden eggs. This game tells the whole story for you, and it comes with some amazing features alongside.

Hot City Slot

 

If you’re fond of the colour pink and you enjoy shopping, then Hot City is without a doubt the best online video slot game for you. The game is based entirely around hitting the town and going on a spending spree in some of the most upmarket places. As you will no doubt see from the layout of the game, there are pearl and gold necklaces draped all around, while the city lights can be seen in the background. Everything is shimmering brightly in this one, and with completely good reason as well. It was apparently designed to be based on the popular television show, Sex and the City, and, of course, with a name like Hot City, it’s fairly clear to see that.

However, you won’t be finding Samantha, Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda making appearances in this one. Instead, you’ll have to make do with reels of various other characters and their chosen items of shopping. There are a couple of great special features included in it as well, so you’ll be accessing an all around intriguing game with a popular influence behind it.

Hook’s Heroes Slot

 

Just think for a moment, what could be better than a pantomime? Or, how about an online video slot featuring pirates aplenty? Could there actually be anything better? Well, yes, is the answer to that, because there is something better. An online video slot based on a puppet show pantomime which is all about pirates! Yes, NetEnt have actually managed to create a game which is based on a story being told by puppets. It’s genius. And with Hook’s Heroes, you’ll be having fun right from the very start. It opens up with a small video package of the crowd in attendance hushing everyone before the show begins. You’re then taken to the reels, where you’ll see splashes of colour all over the place.

Props can be seen at either side of the reels, from a hand holding up a wooden ship on the right, through to the floating island on the left hand side. And that’s not the only thing you’ll recognise instantly, but you’ll also be able to appreciate the included soundtrack as well, which is full of fun in itself. So, if you’re ready to witness a superb puppet show, continue reading on al about Hook’s Heroes.

The Groovy Sixties Slot

The Sixties have been known as one of the greatest decades in history, also termed the Swinging Sixties due to the relaxation of social taboos, especially in relation to racism and sexism that occurred during this time. It would be in this era that several Western nations, such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom and France, turned to the political left, supporting social equality and egalitarianism. Of course, if you were alive during this era, there are probably many fond memories which you can recall from living through such times. It’s renowned thoroughly for its music influences, for introducing the way of the hippy lifestyle to the world, and for its ultimately fashion-changing ways. Because of it being such a prolific age in history, NetEnt took it upon themselves to design a game in its honour, entitled ‘The Groovy Sixties’. This particular game falls in line with two others from the same series, those being ‘The Funky Seventies’ and the ‘The Super Eighties’. But what exactly do you remember from the 1960s? Perhaps some of the icons on the reels of this product will jog your memory.

Gonzo’s Quest Slot

 

As the history books wrote it, Gonzalo Pizarro y Alonso was a Spanish conquistador and younger paternal half-brother of Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of the Inca Empire. He lived between the years of 1510 and 1548, and was born in Trujillo, Spain. He would accompany his eldest half-brother in his third expedition for the conquest of Peru in 1530, but was noted for being far less restrained towards the natives and the Inca than his older brothers. Gonzalo and his brothers would rule the settlements in Cuzco as a dictatorship, dominated by greed, corruption and brutality, taking a harsh line to any who refused Spanish rule.

Over the years, he would go on to fight several battles against the Inca and other nations, eventually turning on the Spanish king. He ended up surrendering to the king after a losing battle, and was beheaded for his crimes by the royal forces on the field. However, it is his quest for El Dorado that has seen NetEnt create an online video slot based on him, and it’s become one of the developer’s most loved games for a variety of reasons. And during game play, you’ll have Gonzalo, or Gonzo as he’s named in this product, watching on from the sidelines as well.

Golden Shamrock Slot

 

If you’re unsure of what a shamrock is, it’s a young sprig of clover, and it’s used a symbol of Ireland. Supposedly, St. Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint, used it as a metaphor for the Christian Holy Trinity, and the name shamrock comes from the Irish ‘seamróg‘, the diminutive of the Irish word for clover, and means simply ‘little clover’ or ‘young clover’. It’s been a symbol of the country since the 18th century, in a similar way as to how the rose is associated with England, the thistle for Scotland, and the daffodil for Wales. Of course, the shamrock also has an association with luck as well, although it needs to be a four-leaf kind, rather than the much more frequently found three-leaf version.

It’s with this idea in mind that our favourite games developer, NetEnt, crafted the online slot game, Golden Shamrock. After all, many people also make associations between slot games and luck, so why not see if you have the luck of the Irish on your side by playing a few rounds of it?

Gold Rush Slot

 

For those gamers who enjoy playing the traditional looking and feeling slot games, NetEnt have provided another one in their catalogue of products, entitled Gold Rush. It provides you with the interface of a cabinet slot machine, which is based in a casino amongst many others. There are chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and plants providing extra decoration to the place, so all in all, wherever it’s located, you’re in a classy place. Then again, that’s fairly obvious – only the best places provide gamers with products from NetEnt! As far as the game itself goes, it’s really quite a simple offering, but then again, most classic casino slot games are.

Of course, this will provide old-school casino fans with a nice break from the complexity of most online video slots, as Gold Rush has only a few different buttons and there’s nothing too complicated about its inclusive features. However, it’s not only a standard slot game, but it also features its own progressive jackpot alongside.

Go Bananas Slot

 

Set in a tree house in the middle of the jungle rainforest, Go Bananas will not only present you with an intriguing product filled with wondrous extras, but it will also transport you to a whole other world in the process. Just imagine being at the top of your tree house, staring out into the vast canopy of trees, only to see a variety of primates swinging from branches, lounging around on the forest floor, or eating their favourite pieces of fruit. Wouldn’t it be a fantastic experience? And if that doesn’t set the scene for you, perhaps the inclusive soundtrack will do it instead.

 

You see, you’ll have the background noises of various birds, forest creatures and mammals all making their unique noises, and every time you spin the reels, you’ll be presented with a piece of music that just screams the word, ‘tropical’ out at you. It’s designed in such a strong way that it’s become one of NetEnt’s flagship games, providing gamers with a fun and entertaining product on the whole.

Glow Slot

 

‘Glow’, presented by NetEnt, takes you on a wondrous journey to your spiritual inner self. It has one of the most fitting and tranquil pieces of music that we’ve ever experienced in an online slot before, and it makes the game come to life even more than any other. It’s quite obvious that you’re sharing the land with a Native American Indian, who is no doubt guiding you towards inner peace and calm. It’s because of the theme and the included music that we’re hooked on this product, and that’s just to start with. There are several other additions and features of its interface and game play that make it even more compelling from the offset.

It appears to take place in the dark of night, with the shadow of forested trees in the background and the Aurora Borealis shimmering in the night sky. Everything in the game just merges so well, forming a perfect scenario for your upcoming game play.

Ghost Pirates Slot

 

When we think of ghosts and pirates, there’s nothing really that brings us to think about the two in one go. Of course, pirates have died at sea, so, theoretically, if you believe in ghosts, then pirates in the form of such are thoroughly possible. And, of course, our favourite developer, NetEnt, has taken that idea on board and formed their greatly enjoyable game, Ghost Pirates. And what would a pirate be without a ship, ey? Well, he’d just be a shipless pirate. But, the point we’re making is that the game takes place on board a ship, which can be seen in its decrepit and broken down state in the background.

Not only that, but you can’t possibly have a game with such a theme and not include decent and appropriate sound effects. However, NetEnt haven’t let us down, and the noises included in this game are every bit as chilling and intense as its title would have you believe. Furthermore, there are a couple of pirate statues surrounding the reels, while burning torches light the way at the bottom of them. So read on if you’re ready to sign up as the next member of the captain’s crew.
