Online Slot Games For The Olympics

July 7, 2016

The Rio Olympic Games commence in about a month’s time. There are bound to be some new Olympics themed online slots in the coming weeks. Traffic will be revived at some of the earlier Olympics slots as well. Two hot favourites are briefly reviewed here.

The Playtech Olympics themed video slot titled Golden Games is set in a stadium with fireworks in the background. The high paying symbols are sports equipment like stop watch, tennis racket, basketball and weights. Instead of the playing card icons, this Playtech video slot uses golden logos for sports such as cycling, boxing, fencing, athletics and swimming. The Golden Games logo is the wild symbol and it also awards the highest line payout of 10,000 coins. The discus thrower is the scatter symbol. The Olympic flame is the bonus symbol. It activates the bonus feature awarding 20 free spins in which all payouts are doubled. The free spins feature can be retriggered infinitely. The optional Playtech gamble game is available after every winning spin. You can try to double your payout till the gamble limit is reached. But if you guess wrong then you will lose whatever you have won. Golden Games can be played at all Playtech online casinos like Mansion Casino and Omni Casino.

Realtime Gaming has in its portfolio an Olympics themed slot game titled Medal Tally. This video slot is played with default settings of 25 paylines and a total bet of $1. The symbols based on the Olympics theme are athlete, cyclist, swimmer and the Olympics stadium. The low paying symbols are the usual playing card icons draped in gold medals. The wild symbol is the set of Olympic medals and it also awards the highest line payout of 10,000 coins. The divergence in line payouts indicates high variance. The scatter symbol is the laurel wreath. It triggers 10, 15 or 20 free spins depending on the number of scatter symbols in the triggering spin. The payouts in the free spins are tripled and the feature can be retriggered. There is an exciting innovation in this free spins feature. The medals symbols that appear on the reels during the free spins are accumulated and used to award bonus credits. This feature gives the video slot game its name. Up to four symbols award a 5x multiplier for the total bet. As the medal tally rises, the multiplier increases reaching 1,000x for 49 medals. 50 or more medals hit the progressive jackpot. Medals Tally is live at Realtime Gaming online casinos like Club World and Silver Oak.
