Secret Casino Club: High Jump - InterOlympics Event

The 10th InterOlympics online casino event was held on Wednesday 20-08-2008 and was 9 line slots.
This means that online casino players could earn their leaderboard points and draw entries by playing any of the slot machines in the 9 line slots menu at InterCasino.

During the High Jump InterOlympics event i played a good portion of the 9 line slots:

The InterOlympics online casino event required activation from the InterCasino cashier, this was done by typing the Casino Bonus Code:HJUMP in the InterCasino cashier area.

Once activated, players had to wager $300 to claim their 300 leaderboard points and an entry for the 3 x Digital Cameras.
The Digital Cameras were valued at $200 each.

The First slot machine is wanted to try during the High Jump InterOlympics event was the progressive Millionaires Club slot machine.
The game offers some really impressive normal spin payouts and offer a bonus feature with quite large prizes even if you dissregard the progressive prize that resets at $150,000.00 each time it is won.

I had some really good spins on the Millionaires Club slot machine, and even though i managed to bust three times on the progressive wheel of chance i left it with a small but very real $50 profit.

The Millionaires Club slot machine is quite fun even though it's design is a little outdated compared to many of the slots with more paylines that are available at InterCasino.

On the bright side, the payouts are at the same high level so the game is worth some spins once in a while;)

I honestly don't rememer where i went from the Millionaires Club slots, but the slot machine i remember playing the most during the High Jump InterOlympics event is Dick Danger.

This game always make me smile because of the comical "detective" theme it is designed with.

The game is played with wild symbols on the three middle reels that activate the bonus feature when all three are present.

I had several Dick Danger bonus features with minor wins but managed to land a few really impressive payline combinations with 2 wilds during normal play.

It is worth noticing that the Dick Danger wild symbol also substitute for the Scatter symbols so Scatter bonus prizes are more frequent on this slots than many other.

The Jade Idol slots was one of the two slots i played during this event that really pulled some nice wins for me.
( The other was Love Bugs that awarded me 60 free spins ! )
Jade Idol has two bonus features, a small 5 x free spin bonus feature and a much more interesting "pick a prize" bonus feature where the big bucks can be won.

I managed to trigger both a few times and had some nice wins during the Pick a Prize bonus feature where i had some lucky match symbols.

If you havent played Jade Idol and want to give it a few spins, keep an eye on the Bonus Money that appears on the 5th reel.
The monkey is the key to both features ;)

Love Bugs is the slot machine i played the most during the High Jump InterOlympics event. While I would love to say that i played this game so much because i won and won and won from the start, - that wouldn't be true at all.

In fact, this little pokie ate all my chips several times before i learned it the tricks i wanted to see.

I played the Love Bugs slot machine for hours and it was really hungry to start with.

It ate my initial deposit, and the $100 i deposited after that as well.

I was playing quite ok, i had some really good payline wins and the bonus feature triggered as i had hoped but where i could have won houndreds or thousands of dollars, - or free spins i won prizes such as $2.25 and $4.50.

This continued for a very long time, but i have played this slots enough in the past to know that it has much more to offer.

I decided to give the Love Bugs slot machine a final go with another $100 deposit, and after about 5 minutes and several good spins the bonus feature triggered one last time.

This time i won 15 free spins during each of the games 4 bonus rounds and was able to leave the slots with a good overall profit and the wildest free spin bonus feature i have tried on the Love Bugs slot machine ever.

If you are used to playing the 20+ line slot machines that seam to be the most popular slots amongst new casino players, you should give the 9 line slots at InterCasino a few rounds at some point.

The slot machines like Lucky Lady that i also played during the High Jump InterOlympics event offer some of the features many slot machine players miss when plyaing most common multi-line slots.

The Luck Lady slot machine offers a wild symbol that substitute for normal and scatter symbols and a bonus feature where the online casino player is rewarded with all prizes and not X of the Y shown in the bonus feature.

On top of this, the slot machine "Pays Both", this means that players can win on payline combinations from left to right AND from right to left.

I you havent tried a "pays both" slot machine before, you will be amazed by the impact this feature has on the game-play. Winning is so much more frequent and while prizes are generally decreased to compensate for the frequent wins, the gaming experience is often even more fun.

The La Fiesta 9 line slots was another of the slot machines i enjoyed during the High Jump InterOlympics slot machine event.

It is designed with features similar to the ones in several of the other 9 line slot machines, - but of course with it's own unique twist to each element.

The La Fiesta slots offer players a "pick a prize" bonus feature where players need to match three symbol by selecting from nine bonus fields during up to three bonus rounds.
The La Fiesta version of this bonus feature offer players a top prize of 200 times the players slot machine bet, - this means that a total of 600 times the slot machine wager can be won during the bonus feature by lucky players.

Another important twist to the La Fiesta slots is the Pinata symbol that offers players the top payline combinations of 10,000 times the payline bet and work as a multiplying wild symbol.

All payline combinations where at least one Pinata symbol substitutes is paid out 200%

The last slot machine i played during the High Jump InterOlympics online casino event was "The Hamsteads".

The slots offer scatters, wilds and a "pick a prize" bonus feature that triggered far more often for me during this event than i normally experience with any slot machine.

The bonus feature found in The Hamsteads slots is a "match 3" bonus feature where players are shown nine areas to select from.

Unlike the other bonus features like this, the player is shown two prizes when the bonus feature starts, a Prize and a Consolation prize.

The prize is won if the player manages to match three "The Hamsteads" characters with the nine fields.

The Consolation prize is paid if the player doesnt manage to find three matching "The Hamsteads" characters.

I really like the fact that i know what i can win when i play a bonus feature, and even though i had no consolation prizes paid out during this slot machine session, - they sure beat winning nothing ;)
