Winner's Winning Screenshots

A favourite and a classic in many players eyes, Starburst, still less than ten years old quickly made its mark on the online casinos world. Although we often question how fond we really are of Starburst we always find ourselves heading back to comfortable, well designed slot to 'give it a go'. Netent's colourful creation is really a quite simple Win Both Ways slot with 10 win lines, made up of different coloured sparkly gem symbols plus the symbols you really want to see; the 7s and Gold Bars. There's no traditional free spins bonus as such like you find in many video slots. Instead, Starburst's bonus is when one or more wild filled reels are spun in on reels 2, 3 or 4, which, along with hopefully forming an initial win will trigger a re-spin. You can get a maximum of three re-spins if the wild reels are spun in one at a time (better as you can hope for a win on each) but whether they come in individually or simultaneously, this more often than not is how you'll get your juicest Starburst winnings. See screenshot above showing the three middle reels full of wilds (three wilds and 7s either side), to us it's pretty eyecatching and with a bet of £0.50 resulting in a £88 win, it works out at 176x the bet, not bad! A satisfying and exciting win especially considering the balance was down to £1.66.

Vegas Lux is a glizy 2020 slot by RTG, who over the past few years have honed their design skills, producing higher quality games such as this is. The diamond shaped slot is in keeping with its luxury theme, its 720 paylines with wins made from both the left and right further encompass the more is more Vegas feeling. You'll see the usual card suit, cherries and tripple 7s symbols along with a Vegas hotshot and a beautiful showgirl to spice things up. surprisingly the guy and gal are just pipped to the post of highest paying symbols by the tripple 7s symbol. Stacked wild symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 are a welcomed boost, shown on screenshot No.3, the low paying heart symbol is boosted a fair bit by the stacked wild. Three, four or five scatter diamond symbols award a instant win of x2, x10 and x50 respectively. A comination of five consecutive free spins symbols trigger 8 free bonus game spins, the trilling part is that each comination of five free spins symbols equals eight free spins, now it looks like the amount triggerable is capped but this at a massive 240 is not something we're complaining about!

Microgaming's Ariana slot is just one the many gems produced by the software giant. Clearly a Microgaming creation, Ariana has a solid design with an immersive mythical underwater theme helped along by the serine music and submerged sound effects. Big wins made up of matching symbols make for some stunning screenshots, as shown in screenshot no.1 where all reels are filled with the same coral symbol and the mesmerising Ariana block wilds in screenshot no.2 just beckon you to play. Speaking of the block/stacked wilds, this is Ariana's main feature which pleasantly occurs both in the base game and the free spins bonus round, only during the bonus round it's actually slightly better. Some slots disappoint with the removal of some of their best features during free spins so thumbs up to Microgaming for not doing so with Ariana. During the base game any full stacked symbol landng on reel one will bring about the expansion of any matching symbol on the other reels, of course this is dependant on them being part of a winning comination. During the free spins bonus game which is triggered by three, four or five starfish symbols the wilds behave much the same only that the basic wild symbol will also expand, ramping up the potential for some awesome wins.

We only have one winning screenshot of RTG's 777 slot so far but it's a pretty nice one to have. It was our first time trying out 777 and we were again pleasantly supprised by RTG's design work and of course very pleased with the nice win of $180 from a $1 bet. The sleek style and easy on the eye colours make this classic throwback a welcomed fresh addition to RTG's 3-reel collection. 777's winning combinations are refreshing clear without too many different symbols to look out for, there's simply the single, double and triple bars, a card deck with coins (wilds, one multiplies win x3, any two multiplies win by x9) and the all mighty fuchsia 7s. There's a choice of three bet levels when playing 777 which go up to $2.50 a spin, there's a hold feature and a local progressive jackpot that can only be won when playing at the hightest level/max bet (Super) and spinning in three wild card symbols.

Divine Fortune is a 2017 progressive jackpot slot by NetEnt, based on mythical Greek creatures, it's beautifully designed and has engageing features. Consisting of 3 rows, 5 reels and 20 win lines, a great wild feature, a free spins bonus and the all important jackpot bonus round. During the main and free spins game there's wilds substitutions that shift down the reels and you'll get free re-spins until the spin after the last wild has dropped from the reels, this can last a while and build up some great wins. If another wild lands behind an existing wild the whole reel will turn wild, with all things said this is a very captivating feature. You'll get up to 12 free spins when you spin in 3 or more Zeus thunderbolt symbols during which any wild becomes an expanding wild. To activate the jackpot game collect three or more gold coins (the more the better chance of winning a jackpot), either spin them all in at once or collect them during the wilds feature. To win the Mega Jackpot you need to fill in all reels with coins, for the Minor, fill in 1 row, the Major, fill in 2 rows. Each coin is worth between 10-200x your bet so even if you don't win a jackpot you'll be collecting winnings from the coins.

Ocean's Treasure, released in 2020, quickly became one of our go-to slots due to some early, impressive wins as well as its overall design and enticing free spins bonus. Our best wins and of course most memorable gameplay have come from the bonus round which has increasing multiplier levels. You'll be hoping to reach the fifth and final level where the Kraken resides, as all win spins at that level are multiplied by 12 and you'll automatically receive 1500 coins simply for reaching it. The base game is pretty standard with one feature worth a mention - the stacked mermaid wild, but really you'll be looking out for three or more free spins symbols to trigger the bonus game where you'll start off with 10 free spins. Once within the bonus game wins are at first multiplied by three, then you'll be hoping to see lots of wilds as each one awards two extra spins and fills up the level meter bar by half, and once the meter is full you'll move up a level. The maximum potential free spins in 102.

We don't really think that our Ocean's Treasure winning screenshots are the most impressive so far as symbols filling the reels but if you look at screenshot no.1 you'll see we reached the final level of the bonus round where you can also see the creepily, well designed Kraken lording over the reels. As you progress through the levels the background changes displaying different creepy underwater creatures in a spooky, fossilised and ghostly fashion with the Kraken emerging from its layer at level five, creating great atmosphere and not forgetting, you'll receive your bonus of 1500 coins x your coin value. We were betting €0.75, the coin vale of which is 0.05 so we received €75. All screenshots apart from no.2 are from the same bonus round from which we won a total of €307.65, this works out at just over 410 x bet. Although, as mentioned we're not shouting too loudly about these screenshots, you can see from no.1 that even though the win is not even five of a kind, it worked out as a €90 win spin. It's clear that the winning potential at level five is massive, especially with the chance of continuing at x12 wins up to a total of 102 throughout the bonus. Pleasing enough as these screenshots are we intend to add more to our Ocean Treasure winning screenshot collection soon.
