Customer Reviews
GREAT FUN!!!!
If you love the 9 Line, 45
coin, Video slots with Bonus screens (and or bonus games), this software
Video Slots by Masque Publishing is a great set of games. It has 25
Video Slot games; Five of them are Bally Games, that are played in many
casinos; and 20 of them are made up games, which are like the games you
can play in the casinos. The Bally Slots are Bonus Sevens, Blazing
Sevens, Captain jackpot (15 Line-75 coins), Take It Or Leave It and
Sunset beach (my personal favorite. The 20 other games include, Astro
Bucks, The Great egg game, Green lightning, Java Buzz, llama loot, Money
Bees, oil baron, patriot Pride, Polar Payouts, Payout Party, Riches of
the East, Riding the Wins, Scatter Bats, Sea Of green, Wealth Potion,
reely Reely Rich, Ricochet reels and a few more. By the names of the
games you can figure out the premise of each game and how there similar
to games in the casinos, and all in all, are great fun!!!
Promising, but needs work
When Masque Gaming is
adapting Bally Gaming's slot machines for home PCs, they do an excellent
job of bringing the fun and excitement to the player. New titles such
as "Take It or Leave It", "Sunset Beach" and others from Bally Gaming
are decent, but disturbingly stingy with payouts -- even if the option
for loosening the slots is selected.
Masque's attempts at creating
their own slot machines, however, aren't as successful. While there are
some intriguing premises to be found, the slots are as tight -- perhaps
tighter -- than even the critically bashed slots that Hoyle/Sierra have
put out for a few years now.
Phantom EFX, whose line of slots and
casino simulations have been strongly embraced by thousands of home
gamers (and was recently ranked the #1 slot simulation company in the
world), started off rough as well with their initial offering of
original and exciting slots. Unlike Masque, however, the Phantom team
was quick to address the compliments and critiques of their customers --
the results of which can be seen consistently in every new offering
Phantom EFX puts out. Masque needs to listen to their userbase and
re-evaluate their original slot line and make changes for the better.
The sooner, the better.
As my title says, this software has
promise. I am hopeful that Masque's designers and programmers will take
the comments posted here and elsewhere to one day be a viable competitor
to Phantom EFX. For now, although a fair diversion, one might as well
wait until this game is in a clearance or bargain bin.
If you like video slots, look no further
Personally, I can't stand
slot machines, but considering where I live I'm exposed to a lot of
people that do; and for them this makes a great gift. There are a lot of
slots to choose from, but not all of them have bonus rounds, I figure
it's about 50/50. The remaining slots don't seem much different from one
another other than a slightly different graphical theme.
In
regards to the games with bonus rounds, Take It or Leave It has a game
show atmosphere. Payout Party has you choosing between two different
houses. Pick the right one and it's party time. Pick the wrong one and
the alarms go off and the round is over. Wealth potion stars a mad
professor who drinks a concoction you create. Java buzz has bug-eyed
coffee drinkers competing over who can stay awake the longest. In the
weird category are Money Bees playing poker against one another in the
bonus round. My favorite of the bunch (although admittedly I haven't
seem them all) is Egg Raid starring another bug-eyed weasel character
that sneaks around a henhouse trying to gather eggs without waking up
the chickens.
I knocked off a star because the games without bonus
rounds seem rushed. Plus, while the sound sampling is accurate, you can
hear clicks and pops. These are minor gripes, though. On the plus side,
the game has really low system requirements and should easily run on
any machine. You can also set the game to extra-high payouts. Just
remember the casinos won't be this generous.
Hope the review
helped.
