Get ready to hit the slots with Egyptian Dreams 4. The fourth installment in this exciting series creates the atmosphere of Las Vegas or Atlantic City without the insistent clanging noises and lingering cigarette smoke. It is at heart, a true slot machine lovers game. But that isn’t all! It also has awesome minigames that allow you to go for “double or nothing” by putting all your chips in the right pile.

The game is fairly simple. The game gives you two hundred dollars to start, and you have to make as much money as Egyptian Dreams 4 4possible. If you end up losing all your money, the game restarts automatically. Now, wouldn’t it be great if it was like that in real life? Alas, this is not reality, but rather a game and those are the rules. All you have to do now is choose the amount you want to bet (from 2 dollars to 200 dollars) and click the SPIN button. If this is too much work for you, there is always the AUTOPLAY button, although I don’t understand how it can be so hard to do the alternative. There are so many combinations of winning numbers that I was utterly lost, so I’m not able to convey the way the game is won. All I can say is click away and when it says you have won, take it and don’t ask questions.

In the event that you are dissatisfied with your winning, you can always gamble it away some more! Click the GAMBLE button to try to double or quadruple your winnings. To double, choose a color (red or black) and a card is drawn. If you are correct, you can let it ride (for a chance at doubling that) or quit with your winnings. Quadrupling is essentially the same except that you choose the suit (spades, clubs, hearts, or diamonds) and have a worse chance at actually seeing a return. You can also try your hand at roulette to earn more money. Choose either odd or even to double it, or if you are feeling really lucky, choose a number to multiply your winnings by 25.

There is one other part of the game that is really the only way to make a substantial amount of money. This is when you Egyptian Dreams 4 1get three pharaoh eyes and can now take part in the Pharaoh Feature. Here you choose the amount of spins you get, the multiplier and the wilds. Here the game automatically spins and you start making the money. After that, you play the Cleopatra’s Spins which is essentially the same thing and is basically just really confusing (but Egyptian Dreams 4 6lucrative). You then get the Cleopatra Bonus and if you are lucky, you can get a chance to play the Cash Pyramid and a chance to win 500,000 dollars!

All in all, this is a pretty solid game. I liked the whole concept of winning money, even if it is just fake money. The game allows for a certain amount of skill in the roulette and double or nothing games, but in the end, it is basically all luck. I think this is a good way to kill time or prepare for Vegas, but it really isn’t a game that requires a whole lot of brain capacity. This is not a bad thing though! And for what it is, Egyptian Dreams 4 follows through. I give this game four out of five stars.

Features of Egyptian Dreams 4:
- Play 5 or 6 reel game
- Play the Puzzle of Anubis
- Bet up to $200 a game
- Win Cash Pyramid Jackpot of up to $500,000

Slingo Quest Review

Adventure, Puzzle | Posted by Meg

It’s bingo. No, it’s slots. It’s SLINGO QUEST! This Mac game is a marriage of bingo and slots joined together to make one fun game. You do not have to move too much so it’s really, really relaxing.

This bingo and slots with a strange twist will hold your attention for a few hours with its easy and addictive play in Quest or Classic modes. In Quest you travel from island to island on your adventure for treasure and ,of course, points. There are different play cards to Slingo Quest: Multicard, 7×7 and Pirate Fortune. You begin by customizing your own character. If you don’t, then you have a choice of a blond cartoon boy or girl. The object of this game is to get as many Slingos as you can in 20 spins. You click on the spin tag or right mouse or space bar and numbers in circles will show up at the bottom of the card. If any of the numbers match the card, then you click on the number on the card to place a star on top of it, and if you make 5 in a row, up and down, left to right or diagonally then you have a Slingo. Also there are some red squares forming patterns and if you get all the red squares that also is Slingo.  Classic is just straight  play and no story line.  It’s also timed.

There are a lot of extras and bonuses along the way. Look for Cell Super Jokers, multipliers, Slingo Vision, Bounce Slingo. Also a secret key can open Bonus levels and gold coins gives you points automatically. When you complete certain Slingos, you get stamps similar to passport stamps. These little extras add to the fun play of this game. Your character is helpful in that she/he will cry if you do not have a match. Also the spin button will blink when you need to spin again.

I found Slingo Quest to be relaxing and sometimes hypnotic like playing slots. If you ever sat in front of slot machines, you know you do not have to think much but wait for your return. Slingo Quest doesn’t give you a big jackpot, but you still wait for the gold coins, stamps and points for your gratification. You can save a lot of money playing Slingo. The sound effects were excellent and the graphics with its deep, bright colors and cute cartoon characters were great. I would recommend playing Slingo Quest for a entertaining evening.

Features of Slingo Quest:
-60 Levels
-5 Slingo Stars
-New Game Modes
-New Stamp Rewards
-Power-ups
