We are on board again, searching for newer Bonus Slots with Post #11.

1) Mayan Wheel of Gold: The sun, a torch and various artifacts are features of this Mayan Goldslot. When 5 alligators are lined up, the player wins 5,000 X the line bet for the top jackpot. The bonus pay wheel is activated when three or more Wheel symbols line up on the payline. The Wheel has 20 boxes with multipliers of 20X--500X. Three Wheel symbols=one spin, 4 gets you 3 spins and 5 wheels gives 5 bonus spins. Multiply each spin X the line bet and total all spins for your end bonus. The Mayan King symbol is wild plus Pyramid symbols anywhere on the first and fifth reels take you to the Chamber of Riches second bonus screen. Once inside the tomb, you select golden treasures until you uncover the Collect symbol.

2) Crazy Fruits: Come on over and meet the fruit characters--Cool Guy Orange, a Romantic Lemon, Money Melon, Sweet Cherry and Surfer Banana. The tomato (is that a fruit or a veggie?) is wild and substitutes for all other fruit except for the scatter-pay Banana and Crazy Fruitssymbols. Three or more Crazy Fruits in any position trigger the second screen bonus when a closed fruit crate appears on the screen. A voice from inside the crate is heard with 'Hey! Let me out!' at which time, the player's touch will reveal fruit bonuses for $$ or free games. Rack up your winnings until that nasty worm is revealed in a piece of the fruit. The second bonus feature is triggered when a Lucky Fruitssymbol appears. All symbols of that symbol type open and all pesky worms are removed for a guaranteed bonus amount. The Fruit Cocktailround opens a random amount of spaces, removes the worms and you receive your bonus. A wisecracking tomato provides a slice of humor in this game.

3) Swampland: Slot players in Mississippi and Louisiana love this bayou/swamp themed game. It features button only play (which most people prefer), incredibly graphics and bonus rounds that happen much more than on most multi-line video slots. Three or more frog symbols trigger a second screen bonus. Using the panel buttons, the player selects a lily pad that the frog jumps onto while trying to avoid the jaws of a hungry alligator. This leap-frogging continues as you select different lily pads, each revealing a bonus amount or until the lunging gater successfully snags his prey. Up to 10,000 coins times the line bet can be won on this 9 line slot--if you don't get i>boggeddown.

4) Triple Lucky 7s: This game combines the multiple 7's paytable of the Red, White & Blue style program with the wild symbol Triple Diamonds program for a potential big-money payout. There are six separate 7's win combos on a screen that throws 7's at you from every direction. The Triple Lucky 7's wild symbol appearing once in a winning combination triples the jackpot, two of them equal 9X winnings and three wins the top jackpot of 4000 for the two coin version--6000 for the three coin slot with a max. bet. Makes you glad you learned your multi-plication tables, yes?
