Four Mobile Games with Unmissable Bonus Rounds

Slots have come a long way since the one-armed bandits that were the staple of casinos and amusement arcades in the 20th century. In part, that is down to advances in technology. The transition from mechanical reels to video games that use random number generators means developers have more choice when it comes to adding additional reels, symbols and paylines. However, there is more to it than that.

Gamification of slots

The online and mobile gaming era has introduced slots to a wider audience than ever before. Suddenly, everyday people, who might never have the time or inclination to visit a real world casino or a seafront arcade, go online to play a mobile game as a bit of light relief from the everyday world. Casino games are particularly popular with the new generation of adult gamers who have sprung up in the mobile age, and innovations such as pay by phone casino apps make it a simple matter for them to play whenever they want, whether it’s at home or perhaps on the daily commute.

The thing about this new type of player is that he or she wants to do something more interesting than just watch the reels go around. The game developers are happy to oblige, and as a result, the bonus games and stories attached to slots have become increasingly important as part of the experience. Here are four of the most engrossing slots games you can play online.

1) Jurassic World

One of the most popular slots of the past decade has been Netent’s Jurassic Park, and they have upped their game still further with this follow-up. The tie in to the movie goes beyond simple themes and symbols – this is a game with top-notch visuals and impressive production values. There are three bonus games, the Raptor Den, the Creation Lab and the Gyrosphere Valley. All are fun to play, and have the additional advantage of ramping up the winnings.

2) The Invisible Man

It’s another from Netent, this one based loosely on the classic novel by H G Wells. There are two competing meters that gradually fill during gameplay, and whichever one reaches the top first dictates the bonus game you get to play. The police meter leads to a fairly standard free spins round, but the Griffin’s Rage game is quite different, leading you through three different zones where you can select various items to continue your journey.

3) Rocky

Back to the movies, and classics don’t come bigger than Rocky! The bonus game here encompasses footage from the actual movie and the idea is stunning in its simplicity. For every round that Rocky wins, you receive a coin bonus. There are also other bonus rounds, making this one of the most varied and engaging slot games of them all.

4) Family Guy

It might not be classic Hollywood, but there’s no denying the popularity of Family Guy. The graphics are sharp and the bonus games are varied – the World Bonus sees Stewie spin a globe, to see what adventure you will embark upon, from fighting a chicken to racing drunken clams. You’ll never tire of this one!
