The Winning Wizards five reel, five line slot was one of the first ever five reel games online. In June 2005, Microgaming have re-launched a new version of the classic game with several great new twists.
The first big difference is that now you can play up to 20 lines per game and up to 10 coins per line. Of course with more lines you have more ways to win on every spin, this results in a high hit rate. Other differences include more winning combinations, the addition of a wild symbol, a scatter symbol and the all new Golden Goose Bonus.
Now that Winning Wizards is a true video slot the coin sizes have been changed. The lowest denomination is a penny so this game is suitable for all budgets. Although you have to keep an eye on the coins per line as max bet is 250 coins whish is $2.50 even at the penny coin size.
Undoubtedly the biggest new addition is the Golden Goose Bonus. This bonus is a randomly triggered event and is available on more than one of Microgaming's slots. If you have ever seen the Mr Cashman bonus games from Aristocrat you will get the idea.
Basically you have the choice to make a side bet on each spin. If you make the side bet the bonus rounds can be activated at the end of any spin. There are then four different bonus games that appear randomly.
Each of the bonus games have different winning levels but you will always win additional credits plus win bonuses such as free spins (Up to 50!). Overall the bonus games definitely add to the game but the additional bet does cost more.
Overall this is a great re-launch of what is one of the most popular slots from years back. If you have not played Winning Wizards in a few years we highly recommend that you give this game a try today! |
