If you like to play the slots on your smartphone or tablet, you’ll be excited to know two classic pokies were rolled out at mobile Microgaming casinos this week.

Party Island and Supe It Up officially launched on smartphone and tablet devices this week, meaning players who enjoyed these pokies on their desktop can now play on the go.

When our favourite Web casinos went mobile, all of our favourite pokies weren’t ready for the platform change and thus the catalogue of every mobile casino has been quite slowly but gradually building up to the same number as on computers. So while these aren’t two brand new slots, they are two of our favourites now available on the portable HTML5 platform.

Party Island mobile slot

While players located in the Southern Hemisphere are in the midst of giving Jon Snow a run for his money with all the clothes they are layering on, those in the Northern Hemisphere are celebrating Summer, and since the majority of Microgaming casinos are celebrating the hotter months they have released the Party Island slot for smartphones and tablets, which is apt as it has an idyllic summer theme.

While there are only nine paylines, there’s a huge 150,000 coins available to be won during the bonus round. ‘

The Wild symbol, which is the game’s logo replaces all symbols expect for the Scatter and whenever you do win this way your winnings are doubled.

The Scatter symbol on the other hand, which is the Disco Ball, triggers the Free Spins Bonus Game. Simply spin at least three Scatters to win up to 15 free spins, as well as the chance to win the 150,000 coins. Additionally, there is another Bonus Game that can be triggered during the Free Spins Bonus Game, which sees free spins re-triggered.

Microgaming have also kept their beloved Gamble feature for the mobile version, where players can double their winnings by picking the colour of a card, or quadruple their winnings by picking the suit.

Supe It Up slot for mobile

If you are a car-crazy, then Supe It Up will have your engines revving. Featuring 25 paylines, this newly mobile-compatible slot offers a huge amount of free spins.

The Wild symbol, which is the Nitrous symbol, replaces all symbols as usual, except the Scatter of course, and whenever you create a winning payline with this Wild your winnings are doubled. Additionally, if it appears on more than one payline it will make its own winning combinations, meaning an even a bigger payout.

The Scatter, which is the Woofer symbol, activates the Free Spins feature where you can get up to 30 free spins and a multiplier of up to 6x.

The infamous Gamble feature is also available on Supe It Up where you can double you winnings (pick the colour of the card correctly) or quadruple your winnings (pick the suit of the card correctly).

What mobile casinos offer these two new mobile slots?

You will be able to find these two classic pokies that have been made compatible for smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices at the following recommended mobile casinos:

1. Royal Vegas
2. Jackpot City
3. 32 Red
4. Leo Vegas
5. Roxy Palace
6. 7 Sultans
7. Casino-Mate

While these slots have been available for quite sometime on your PC or laptop, this week they have gone mobile so you can play them wherever you may be, provided you have an Internet connection.

The month of May marks a significant change for mobile users around the world, as well as pokies players located in Australia. WMS Gaming has officially taken over the rights of the Monopoly brand from IGT, meaning all mobile Monopoly slots by IGT have disappeared.

Never fear, WMS Gaming have released a slot called the Monopoly Big Event to mark the changeover. It is quite significant for Aussies because IGT games aren’t available for these players to access so they now get a Monopoly slot to play, and it is just as significant for players worldwide because it has been released in a format compatible with mobile devices.

Available at one of our favourite mobile casinos, Leo Vegas, this new slot has some interesting features, which you can quickly view on your smartphone or tablet, but be careful the Big Bet feature has been known to be a lot of fun.

About Monopoly Big Event

Monopoly Big Event has been created by WMS Gaming in conjunction with Barcrest, another slots developer, and is now available at Leo Vegas online casino.

Since the rights have been handed over, the past IGT Monopoly slots aren’t available anymore, including the mobile version, which doesn’t affect Aussies but globally some players might be disappointed. However this new Monopoly slot has been created to be compatible with portable devices and means we get a revamped Monopoly slot that Aussies can enjoy too.

The slot features a 5-reel 20 payline format and still resembles the iconic Monopoly board that the IGT versions stuck to, but you can’t really stray from the standard Monopoly imagery.

All the classic Monopoly symbols are there including the board pieces such as the dog, car, and battleship, and the reels see wild payouts, a feature round, and a free spins bonus.

The most interesting aspect to this new pokies however is the Big Bet feature, which many Barcrest slots have and it has been known to attract many players. The more you bet, the more you will be rewarded. Here, players can either choose to play $20 per spin for a Progressive Win Round, or $30 per spin for a Bonus Wheel Round. When we played it this week, we found the latter bonus option to be more fun due to the potential of landing a wild feature which holds scatters for five spins.

While many international players may be disappointed of the loss of IGT Monopoly games, Monopoly Big Event, which came to Leo Vegas just over a week now, is a great and exciting slot and we don’t just mean for Aussies because they finally have access to a proper Monopoly slot, but to players everywhere as we can play the exciting Big Bet feature on our smartphone and tablet, something IGT didn’t offer.

About WMS Gaming

WMS Gaming is behind slots like Star Trek, Wizard of Oz, and Top Gun. Before 2012 the company was struggling a bit in terms of revenue, so they decided to turn their attention to creating games specifically for the mobile platform.

Many of their slots have gone mobile and hence why their new releases are all compatible with smartphones and tablets. Additionally, they are now the only software developer to offer a licensed Monopoly slot available at mobile casinos.

Hopefully we will see more mobile slots from WMS Gaming soon, especially with the Big Bet feature, but for now Monopoly Big Event is available on your smartphone or tablet, so get on over to Leo Vegas and take advantage of their new player bonus, including $700 in matched deposits along with free spins, while you’re there.
