A new Wheel of Fortune machine I didn't notice at the Global Gaming Expo - 'Viva Las Vegas' featuring Elvis Presley as 'Lucky' and Ann Margret as 'Rusty.' I almost got out the door of the Vegas Club, but another new slot caught my eye - this one from IGT. I would say if you are lucky enough to hit a bonus round to skee-daddle like I did. Once again I can't find any info on the machine on WMS' website, but consulting my catalog, I see they describe 'Money Burst' as 'new reel layout, 60 lines for 30 credits, and fast play drive hyper-volatile math model.' I'm not so sure I like that 'hyper-volatile math model' part. 'Glitz' works the same way, but I don't care for the graphics so I didn't try it out. My thirty cent bet turned into $25.00 in the bonus round. Of course you can speed things along by hitting a button, but as this was my first bonus on this machine I let it take it's time and savored the moment. I got two wild symbols that guaranteed a payoff with every spin. If you get three bonus symbols you also get the free spins but have a choice to make (I didn't get there so I don't exactly know how this works) to determine the first symbols.ĭuring the bonus round Dean-o and his background singers keep you entertained with a song I don't quite recall entitled 'Go, Go, Go!' and 'Ain't That a Kick in the Head' - if you are lucky the bonus can be long as all the lines hit and tally up. These symbols hold for the remainder of the spins. You get sixty lines for thirty credits, and the bonus round of five free spins is triggered if you get four of the same symbols (wilds count) in the first four positions. It is unusual in that it starts with only two lines that funnel into sixty. Still, I've noticed that whoever is running the slot selection is not afraid to try new things, and keep the mix on the casino floor fresh.ĭean Martin's Wild Party is a volatile game, but worth the trouble if you can hit a bonus round. The Vegas Club, in conjuction with it's neighbor the Plaza (both run by Tamares Group - which has a rather tenuous hold on it's holdings) have seen better days. Sometimes you just never know which casinos are going to feature the new games first.

With giddy anticipation I checked the bank of machines opposite 'Glitz' and there it was! 'Dean Martin's Wild Party!' Strolling through the casino to my car, I spied 'Glitz' a new 'Money Burst' game from WMS I saw next to the Dean Martin game I'd admired at the Global Gaming Expo. Last night I was downtown to play my free $15 at Binion's and decided to park at the Vegas Club across the street. Sometimes you find new slots in the strangest places.
