New Slotris at Slotland

29.04.2008

Slotland has announced the launch of an intriguing new game this week - a Tetris-like online slot machine that is two games in one, both inspired by the popular game of falling-blocks considered by some to be the best video game ever.

The wheels on Slotland's new Slotris online slot machine spin the familiar multi-coloured cubes and the same squares fall into place on the grid of the adjacent bonus game puzzle simulating the video game that has mesmerised millions for decades. There are two ways to win Slotland's version: a traditional three-wheel single payline slot line with spinning symbols - coloured blocks rather than cherries. When three matching symbols line up, the player wins.

However, the coloured boxes don't just spin on the slot machine wheels. Afterward, the same symbols fall into place in the grid beside the slot machine. Players can win this bonus game by guiding the blocks into place. Every solid-colour line multiplies the player's bet and ten lines wins the jackpot.

Like all Slotland online slots and video poker games, Slotris is tied to a progressive jackpot. Last month this was hit for almost $200 000 and a $116 332 jackpot was won in December by TRILIGHT33 (see previous InfoPowa report).

The new Slotris game joins 10 unique slot machines and video poker games in this online entertainment site's games inventory. Six of the most popular web games are also available on mobile phones.

"It's a lot of work to keep developing completely new, unique games," said Martin Smith of Slotland.com. "Our games are all original though. You won't see them anywhere else."
