I don’t usually review slots games here on the Gambling Review news page, opting instead to focus on larger issues affecting the gambling world. When it came to the Private Eye slot, though, I had to take some time to focus on the game.

Roxy Palace Casino has a new game called Private Eye and it is based on those old film noire detective tales I love. Give me a black and white film with Humphrey Bogart narrating while his character smokes in his office, only to be interrupted by a femme fatale played by Lauren Bacall or Ingrid Bergman and I’ll be happy.

The Private Eye slot has that same feeling. The background is the sleuth’s desk, with files and bullets on top. The game features a symbol of the private investigator, wearing a suit, trench coat and fedora hat. It also has a femme fatale, wearing a cocktail dress and seductively glancing over her shoulder. Other symbols include a scotch glass next to a stack of money on the desk, a police lineup, a camera, 1930’s-style car, crime scene with a chalk body outline and more. I can almost hear Bogart’s voice while I play the game.

Private Eye is an online slot that doesn’t have traditional paylines. Instead, there are 243 ways to win. That means you kind of have to take the slot’s word for it when it says you win, or when it says you don’t. Maybe it’s appropriate, though, for this detective slot to be shrouded in mystery.

There are two different second-screen bonuses in this online slot. The first is unlocked by the paperboy symbol. You are taken to an old-fashioned newsstand (“extra, extra, read all about it!”). There are multiple newspapers on each rack and you pick one from each, receiving whatever secret mystery bonus goes along with it.

The other bonus game is unlocked by the magnifying glass symbol. Here, the player is at the detective’s desk, searching for clues in the case. For each clue you find, you get a bonus. If you find a fingerprint before the phone rings, you are given a series of mug shots and have to pick the correct photo. A correct choice wins a prize.

I don’t normally get excited about slots (I’m more of a table game person), but because of my affinity for old detective movies, this online slot struck a positive note with me. If you’re into film noire or detective stories, I suggest checking out Private Eye at Roxy Palace Casino.

Summer is in full swing in half of the world right now. It is a time when many people head off to summer camp or go with their family on summer vacation. The Summer Holiday slot plays on those themes and portrays a relaxed, fun summer away from the cares and stresses of work and school. As an added bonus, Roxy Palace Casino is offering a casino bonus for those who play the online slot.

This weekend, Roxy Palace is giving away double Players Club points to those who play the Summer Holiday slot. At the online casino, players earn Players Club points for every wager they place. Normally, they receive one point for every 10 credits wagered. Under this promotion, since the points are doubled, players will receive two Players Club points for every 10 credits wagered. Once enough points are accrued, they can be redeemed for more casino credits.

The Summer Holiday slot is a 5-reel online slot with a whopping 100 paylines. It is set on a scenic lake, on a dock by the river, and in other quiet, relaxing summer vacation spots. The slot features symbols of bicyclists, summer food, swimmers, ducks in the pond and more. The online slot has a jackpot of 750,000 coins, but in free spin rounds – where all payouts are tripled – the game has a jackpot of 2,250,000 coins.

The Summer Holiday slot also has an interesting bonus round, where you get to pick your prize. Your choices are a up to 25 free spins, a multiplier bonus of up to 100 times the payout and a mystery prize.

Summer Holiday is one of only two online slots at Roxy Palace that have 100 paylines (the other being Cashapillar). With its large number of lines and potential for huge payouts, it is sure to attract the high rollers in the slots crowd. If you don’t want to bet that much, though, there’s no shame in betting on one or a few lines.

To get double your Players Club points, play the Summer Holiday slot at Roxy Palace.

Time is running out for a good slot promotion at Roxy Palace Casino. Sorry, I would have told you about it sooner but I just found out. Ending at midnight tonight (actually at 12:59 PM) is the slots bonus promotion that rewards players who wager the most on slots.

Pick a slot, any slot and you can be rewarded. This promotion applies to video slots, traditional slots, progressive slots and regular slots. If it’s an online slot offered at Roxy Palace, it counts. During this promotion period, players receive points for all wagers they make on slots and the players who wager the most will earn prizes.

In addition, if you happen to win money playing the slot, you get to keep that as well. This isn’t a slot tournament where you play for points and don’t earn any money on the machines themselves. In this slot tournament, you wager your own real money, win real money and lose real money. Independent of that, you earn points for how much you wager and have the potential to earn prizes.

To qualify for the event, players must deposit and wager at least $100 on slots during the promotion. With the clock ticking away, time is running out to earn prize money.

To take part in the online slot tournament, visit Roxy Palace Casino now.

October is a special time of year. Summer is gone and it starts to get a little chilly (in Florida sometimes dropping way down to the 60’s). Baseball’s postseason starts. We raise awareness for breast cancer, spinal bifida, and lupus. We celebrate Filipino American History Month and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) History Month. Roxy Palace Casino also unveils now promotions. Alright, that last one is not a known national observance for the month of October, but is it less obscure than LGBT History Month?

This month there are several promotions going on at Roxy Palace. From October 6 to October 12, the online casino is holding the Roxy Poker Challenge. It is a video poker tournament with a unique twist. Instead of giving prizes to the top earners or top wagerers, this tournament rewards those with the highest winning percentages. That percentage is calculated by the proportion of hands won to hands played. In this way, the tournament rewards smart and skilled players. I know what you’re thinking: No, you can’t simply win the first hand, quit and then win the tournament. In order to qualify, the player must deposit at least $100 and wager a minimum of $2,500 during the promotion.

Running from October 6 to October 8 is the Bonus Slots Magic tournament. This tournament takes place on a variety of online slots. For this promotion, players are rewarded for wagering the most. Those wager the most in the tournament will share a $4,000 prize pool. Players need to deposit a minimum of $100 to qualify for the tournament.

There are also a variety of online slots and table games for which Roxy Palace is giving out double Player Club Points, including Scoop the Cash, Lumber Cats, and Adventure Palace. In addition, yesterday Roxy Palace premiered several new Microgaming titles, including Pure Platinum, Kung Fu Monkey (a favorite of one Gambling Review writer), and Wooly World.

To take place in the tournaments, head on down and visit the nice folks at Roxy Palace. Tell them I sent you. Actually, they won’t care, so don’t bother.

Getting stuff for free is great if you like stuff and don’t like spending money. Now, before you get all bent out of shape, let me say that I’m not talking about fake freebies, like socialized healthcare that everyone pays for with their taxes. I’m talking about actually getting something for nothing out of the kindness of someone else’s heart. Roxy Palace online casino understands that.

Today Roxy Palace is running a special promotion, where they give you a 100% match bonus. To get the bonus, all you have to do is log in and make a deposit, something you have to do to play, anyway. Once a player logs in to Roxy Palace casino and makes a deposit between $20 and $100, the casino matches the amount 100% and transfers that amount to your account to play. You can then use that free money to try and make more money. Of course, you can always loose it as well. If not, it wouldn’t be called gambling.

Players can use that bonus on any of the Microgaming-designed games on the site, including online slots, poker, blackjack and more. To receive your bonus, visit Roxy Palace online casino.
