Every slots player wants to beat the machine for the sounds of coins falling. Some, however, take it too literally: they try to knock it out altogether!

Don't try this on your computer.

New Online Casino Games from Playtech this September

If you're a regular at OCR you'll have noticed that we give props to casino game developer Playtech whenever we can, and there's a good reason why. As one of the leading gaming software producers in the industry, Playtech releases creative, colorful and stable online slots and other casino games on an almost monthly basis. Wherever you the see the name, you know you're getting crisp graphics, quality music and audio, and plenty of fresh concepts. A quick glance at Playtech's September portfolio of recently released slots and scratchcards demonstrates my point:

Slots

This September you need to check out the Mr. Cashback and Easter Surprise slots. (Ok, so the Easter theme is a little early in the season, but why not?!).

Mr. Cashback is a totally unique game that pays you money back for losing spins. Yes, you read that right: any active payline that loses 50 spins in a row will win you 50x your line bet. The slot has a TV-game show theme complete with a slightly sleazy, cigar-toting host (Mr. Cashback himself) and plenty of dollars and dimes.

I don't think I need to explain the theme of Easter Surprise. This eye-achingly colorful game comes with free spins up for grabs and an Easter Bunny bonus round: select from a basket of painted Easter eggs to reveal your prizes.



Scratchcards

Playtech has also created a range of online scratchcards that put a new twist on some of its best existing slots. The selection includes:

• Iron Man 2
• Kong
• Three Clowns
• Easter Surprise (see above)

Each card presents you with nine images, face down. The idea is to uncover and match three symbols in a row, vertically, diagonally or horizontally (depending on the game) to win a prize. All the symbols and imagery on the cards is taken from their original slot games. The scratchcards are ideal for players seeking light entertainment for smaller amounts of money, although the maximum prize in some cases goes up to 2K.

Where to find them...

You'll find all of the above at quality Playtech-powered casinos, including Bet365, William Hill, Winner Casino, Noble Casino and Casino King.
