While the start of April often comes hand in hand with tricks and jokes as friends try and make each other look foolish, but it’s no joke here at Fortune Frenzy that we’ve got two brand new games you’re going to love playing this spring. One is a new and updated version of a Microgaming classic, which is sure to please both classic slots and modern video slot fans alike: Bar Bar Black Sheep 5 Reel. The other is a brand new slot from Realistic Games which plays on a common phrase and turns it into a compelling and fast paced slot: Time is Money.
Bar Bar Black Sheep 5 Reel Slot
A few years ago – riffing on the idea of the ‘BAR’ symbol on classic slot machines and twinning it with the classic nursery rhyme – Microgaming released a three reel slot machine that harked back to the golden age of fruit machines but offered the excitement of a modern game.
Bar Bar Black Sheep quickly became a player favourite, with its farm yard setting, and replacement of the traditional cherries and grapes with aubergines and corn, and of course the replacement of the BAR symbol with the Bar Bar Black Sheep symbol.
This year, Microgaming is reviving the principle behind this game, but broadening its appeal by adding extra two reels, turning it into a 5 reel, 15 payline game. While the winning potential has increased, so has the total prize on offer, with the chance to win 2,000x your original wager. If the wild Bar Bar Black Sheep symbol is part of any winning combination, it will multiply your winnings by 3x, and of course, there’s still the extra spins round, where you can enjoy up to 20 extra spins in one go.
Time Is Money Slot
While the phrase ‘time is money’ might feel like it belongs in the Wall Street themed films which celebrated capitalism in the late 80s, Realistic Games has co-opted it into a brand new game. Time is Money draws on an odd combination of old fashioned clockworks and steam punk style mechanics and electricity, and is starred in by a Victorian-era inventor, and a female assistant.
While this isn’t the most innovative game in terms of graphics or mechanics, it’s certainly a novel theme and it’s really well executed. One of the most profitable features of the game is the Watch scatter symbol: keep an eye of for it, because if you land 3, 4 or 5 of them anywhere on the reels, you’ll be able to enjoy respectively 12, 24 or up to a very impressive 48 extra spins!
The best part of the extra spins round is the multipliers. When you make a win from extra spins, a giant clock will appear, and wherever its hands land on the face, this is the multiplier you will receive (e.g. if you land on 9 o’clock, you’ll receive a 9x multiplier). In this sense, time really is money in this game.
Find both these great new slots at Fortune Frenzy casino on April 4th.
