Vegas Penny Slots Review

If you can’t make it to Las Vegas and play the slots all night long, what is the next best thing? Playing Mac casino game Vegas Penny Slots, that’s what! You get 5 different slot games with 5 different themes.

You get your choice of Dragon Dollars, Golden Vault, Gallop for Gold, Kalahari Sun and Egyptian Dreams. Each one has its own theme. Dragon Dollars has an Asian theme with Yin-Yang symbols, fire-breathing dragons, Chinese characters, blossoms and more. The Gallop for Gold is a horseracing theme where the bonus game is a race and if your horse wins 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, you will get different amounts of money. The Golden Vault has an interesting bonus game with locked safes. There are 5 vault knobs at the bottom of the screen and when you click on the arrow, the spinning dial will slowly stop. If you land on the green area, you unlock the vault door. When you unlock 3 dials, you win the jackpot, but unlock 4 and get 10 times the jackpot or 5 dials to win 100 times the jackpot. They appropriately call this mini game Billion Dollar Jackpot. The Egyptian Dreams channels ancient Egypt with Cleopatra, scarabs and more. Kalahari Sun takes you to African adventures with wild animals. Each game will have its own distinct games. All have the same free games spin and will automatically roll the awarded rounds.

All 5 games have the 5 reels and they can be expanded to 6 by clicking on F6. All are your regular slot play where you click on the Spin button at the bottom right to activate the reels. To its left you will find the up and lower Bet button where you can raise or decrease your bets. To the left of those buttons you will find the Autoplay button where you can press this button once and it will spin automatically for you. To the left of that button is the Roulette and Gamble where you can lose all your winnings in a double or nothing wager.

Vegas Penny Slots is colorful, full of imaginative artwork and fun mini games. However, if you are not a slots fan, you may not agree. If you like slots, this game has 5 games in one for your money. Not bad since they are all different types of games. Slot plays are an individual preference. It does get a little boring since you do not win or lose real money. You can even play it in autoplay so you do not have to do a thing. Talk about a lazy gamer. Actually, I prefer to play auto probably because I’m not much of a gambler. It’s up to you. If you like slots go for this game with it’s authentic sounds of the real thing. It has everything most slot games have and more. I give it a 3 out of 5. Take a gamble and win the jackpot.

The Atlantic City casino industry was built around the premise that high roller gamblers would come from all corners of the Earth if they could gain free lodging, food, and drinks at top gaming resorts. AC casinos provided that platform, and the revenue rolled in for decades.

The 2008 economic recession put an end to that type of gambling in Atlantic City. Like Las Vegas, Atlantic City suddenly had the problem of Macau taking many of their high rollers. It is a problem that was compounded when the recession also took away thousands of US customers.

Over the past three years, both New Jersey and Nevada had casinos searching for ways to bring gamblers back. In Atlantic City, the casinos found lowering their wager limits as the easiest way to ensure players would come back. The casinos on the Boardwalk turned to penny slots, a concept unheard of in the past.

“The casinos were panicking,” said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz. “The customers stopped coming, and casino executives assumed it was because of the recession. So the logical answer for these executives was to allow customers to bet in smaller increments. It was a smart move by the casinos.”

A couple of years later, and the penny slots have become the most popular machines in most of the AC casinos. Walk into the Showboat, Resorts, Trump Taj Mahal, or Bally’s, and penny slots are everywhere. Upon our recent visit, it appeared harder than ever to find $1 machines. Players, too, have noticed the difference.

“I am certainly not a high roller, but I do like to play slots and have lost upwards of $1,000 in a sitting in the past,” said Nelson Battle, who was playing a nickel machine at Resorts on Tuesday night. “Now, it’s pretty hard to lose that much playing on the penny slots. I don’t like to walk around a lot once I’m in a casino, so I don’t have the patience to search around for the $1 machines.”

We attempted to contact several AC executives for their view on the penny slots, but our attempts were unsuccessful.

While the casino officials do not like to talk about their move towards the penny machines, players are not shy when discussing the gaming machines, and not all of the opinions are negative. Some players actually enjoy AC casinos more now that they can afford to play more often.

“I used to come and lose $100 in ten minutes when the machines cost more money,” said Walter Backman. “Now, I come two or three times a week instead of once a month, because I can sit at the machines for hours and play with the same $20. It is much less stressful now than in the past.”
