About Us

D-Vision's (Video) Slots
Play for fun... I'm not convinced you can actually
win a load of cash playing these video slots.
They have the worst odds of all the slot
machines...But those Bonus Games...
so much fun!  Free Spins, Spin the Wheel,
Pick to Win, Scatter Pay... mmm Bonus games!
It's like playing video games...

We only play one coin (penny or nickel) per every
line as to cover the bonus symbols, should they
line up.  We're not rich unlike most people we see
in Vegas playing non-stop, max coins, putting
down green & black chips!  Remember, if you're
playing max coins on a video slot machine,
say 45 coins, it's like playing dollar slots, $2.25!

Remember, you get a better payback if you
play $5.00 slots, as opposed to penny slots.
(Disclaimer:  I am not instructing you to dump
your life savings into slot machines.  In fact, the
smartest thing to do would probably be to keep
your money in the bank... but what fun is that?)

Marilyn Monroe
Video Slot Re-Review
(08/23/06)

Jackpot:
5 Diamond Cinema® symbols.
The wild symbols are not wild for this symbol.

The Good:
The bonus game on this machine is where you pick magazines
which will reveal credits or gift boxes.  Should you be lucky
enough to find any gift boxes, you then get to pick from
jewelry boxes which will reward you big credits.  Not as
exciting as some of the bonus games out there nowadays,
but a good game.  The biggest draw to this game are
the wild Marilyn Monroe symbols on reels 2 and 4.  They
make that entire reel wild, but they aren't wild for the Bonus
Game symbol or the Diamond Cinema symbol.
Line up the right things with the wild symbols and you
can win some serious credits.

marilynjackpotb.jpg (28955 bytes)

The Bad:
I don't have anything bad to say about the machine except
the usual, it doesn't pay as good as it used to...
This was the first Diamond Cinema game to come out and
it is probably still the best.  Bogey, Sinatra, and McQueen
were all bombs in my eyes.  They all featured good graphics
and excellent sound, but the machines were not that fun
to play...  maybe I needed to win more on those machines?

marilynbonusb.jpg (28341 bytes)

Best Win:
It's still the 1500+ credits we got for lining
up the pink Marilyns every which way using both
wild symbols playing just 1 coin per line

Most Monopoly games automatically get a 4 eggplant
score, but Williams has come out with a few sub-par,
Monopoly games that are trying to capitalize on their
winning franchise.  We, die hard, video slot players can
almost immediately spot the difference in graphics, bonus
game quality, and general feel of the game.  Don't try to fool
us thinking we'll play anything with a Monopoly logo...

I finally got a chance to play this game for real and
it was fun.  It has a few bonus games that we got to
play, but it's hard to give it more than 3 nasubi as
this game doesn't do anything that excites anyone.
It's just another of those IGT generic video slots that
they change the symbols and slap on a new title...

The main bonus game may be the same and nothing new,

Another example of a Monopoly game gone wrong.  One

Nothing truly inventive game wise, but a really neat

to see more games like this where you get to see/pick your
favorite video slot characters in bonus games.

(I still do my best not to pick Uncle S(c)am as I never win
on his video slot.  I'll usually go with the Catch a Wave dude

One of the first video slots that I played was the

games were so new and inventive.  Now, the wheel
isn't such a great attraction when it comes to the bonus
games, unless you're talking about the Price is Right.
For some reason, I can't get enough of that bonus game,
but I digress... My wish is for more innovative bonus games.

Maybe the first video slot to come up with the Pick to Win
bonus game concept.  Still a favorite, however it is getting
harder and harder to find, not to mention, harder and harder to
win at.  A more updated version of this game would go over well.

(Pick to lose:   Have you ever gone through this bonus game
picking all the "collect" headstones?  I've done that
a couple of frustrating times
!)

Showcase Showdown!
I love this bonus game!  Probably because you get rewarded
with the showcase showdown bonus game if your game show contestant
can get 55 or better in two spins... Sounds easy, but I think the darn
casinos have tightened up this part of the game also... Arrgh!

A random Mr. Cashman will come out occasionally

line up on the screen.  The Atronic? graphics are improving.

Who doesn't love a game that has 100 lines.  Okay, I'm
exaggerating a bit, it only has a mere 60 lines.  Put in max
coins for a nice 300 penny spin, which is equal to a dollar machine
size bet.  (with a 70% penny machine payback)  It's no wonder
the casinos are putting the video slot machines everywhere on
the casino floor.  Back to this game, the bonus game is a lot
of fun and even more fun if you start out like we did above
by finding the two multipliers first.

(Dollar machines typically have 90+% payback.)

Bitz of Pizzas
Nowadays all the new reel slot machines have their
gimmicks/bonus games.  You must remember that
the payback on these machines is less than a regular
slot machine as the machine isn't getting the coins that
you would normally be playing while you are playing the
bonus game.  Not sure how the Bitz of pizza bonus went,
but as with any pizza they try to dress it up with toppings
but we all know it's the sauce and crust that make the pizza.

Jeopardy Reels
Some of the newer video slot machines actually have real
reels that maybe make the old school slot player give them
a try.  I don't mind playing these as they seem to be a good
change of pace.  Sometimes it's better than staring at a
tv monitor.  The bonus games are played on a screen above
the reels which can give you a neck ache if you aren't careful.

There is nothing like triggering a bonus game, unless it's

time.  They should let you touch the screen to choose which
item you want to shoot at, rather than making you wait until
the Kangaroo appears on it.  When you do eventually make it
to the final screen, the big payoff is a mere 5 times what
you bet?  Not exactly megapennies...

go over 100, but have gotten 100 two times in my PIR video
slot career.  On the bonus spin, you get 1000 coins if you land
on the 100, or 250 coins if you land on the green 5 or 15 spots.
The lady pictured above, Bea?, really has been stiffing me lately...
She keeps disappointing me by always going under 55.

(It's kinda sad, but if you show me pictures of the price
is right characters, I can probably name them off...

Wheel of Fortune - Fortune Spins
This is one of the original video slot games that got
me into playing these type of machines.  It was so much
fun spinning the wheel and even more fun to play the Fortune
Spin Bonus Game.  Nowadays, these machines are still
around, but are now in very, very stingy penny forms...

adjacentreelsb.jpg (24673 bytes)
Adjacent Reels (Nonsense?)
Found some newer video slots that feature five
strange reels that sort of tile together.  After playing it for
a while you discover that you just need to bunch symbols
together, as the more you bunch, the bigger the win.  The above
pic shows five hawk heads (the blue diamond is wild) and
four J's as winning bunches.  This game got old in a hurry
and I went running back to the normal video slot machines.

slotdogs2b.jpg (20111 bytes)
Slot Dogs
Remember those fox and the hound symbols from
the video slot machine.  Well, we started playing a regular
three reel slot machine with those same symbols.
We did pretty good on it as the symbols kept coming
up as shown in the picture above.  However, when the
machine went cold, it wasn't as fun... coincidence?

monopolysafesb.jpg (21905 bytes)
Monopoly Safe Bonus
You sit down and play a new game... everything is new
and exciting... then, you trigger the bonus game.
Pick a safe...  okay, which one to pick...  20 different safes
to choose from...  you then pick a safe and it reveals
"go directly to jail"  bonus game over!
You must then play the machine until you get the bonus game
again and redeem yourself... time and cost does not matter!

hothotpennyb.jpg (30462 bytes)
Hot Hot Penny
Another new gimmick to get you to put more money
in the machine.  This scam goes something like this...
if you put in extra credits (1 or 5, I forget), you will get
more free spins, more often...
It was available on a number of new machines on a
carousel, not just the King of Africa game shown above.
I don't recall Penny ever coming to our aid...

(My machine was always in cold, cold penny mode...
or was it sucker, sucker penny mode... I forget
)

You Bet Your Life
Game Show Video Slot Review
(04/12/06)

Jackpot:
5 Wild, You Bet Your Life® symbols.

youbetbonusb.jpg (22672 bytes)

The Good:
I like the new aero-dynamic design to all the new
Williams game machines.  The graphics on these
games seem to run a lot smoother and the sound
quality is excellent.  In the Groucho Bonus game,
you start off with 3 picks from a 16 square grid.  You can
win credits, extra picks, credits with extra picks, or a duck.
Your bonus ends when you are out of picks.  The goal is
to find a duck, which will take you to a different board,
where you can win more picks or big amounts of credits.
The other bonus game is the duck bonus, where you roll
credits.  After you win credits, that space is turned into
a duck and landing on it again will end the bonus game.
There's also a secret duck bonus that if used in a winning
combo on the reels, will award credits or a bonus game.

youbetbonus3b.jpg (20100 bytes)

The Bad:
It took us forever to see a bonus game.  These machines
seem to be really hit or miss.  Sometimes you just can't get
the bonus game, sometimes the bonus game keeps
coming out.  Another drawback, for you max coin players.
is that it will be available in 20 line, 400 coin versions.

Video Slot Re-Review
(04/05/06)

Jackpot:
5 Wild, Harley Davidson® symbols.
If you line them up on the first line with
max credits, you also win a
Harley-Davidson® Fat Boy® motorcycle

The Good:
I love the bonus game on this machine.  Spinning the
wheel trying to accumulate enough miles to make it to
the next race is a lot of fun.  And, if you finish the three
races, you get to pick a Harley shirt, which will reward
you big credits or an even better multiplier.
The game itself has great graphics, no AKQJ10 symbols
here.  Another great thing about the symbols is that
they are easily differentiated from one another, so it is
easy to follow the reel by reel progression as you try to line
things up.  On some machines, you try to figure out if you
lined something up after all the reels have finished spinning.
The sound is also excellent as the lady's voice is soft and
soothing if you line things up or during the bonus game.
She's no Gilbert Godfrey yelling at you...

harley5cycleb.jpg (27601 bytes)

The Bad:
I still play the penny version of this game alot to kill
time as it still entertains me...  However, the bonus
game doesn't come out as often as it used to.  Since it is
now a penny game, the payback % isn't very good at all.

Tailgate Party
Always Losing Video Slot Review
(03/29/06)

Jackpot:
Five Tailgate Party symbols on the 9th line
with max coins bet

The Good:
This machine does have great graphics and sound.
I think I've played the bonus game once in my life and
it was fun.  However, that was so long ago that I can
hardly remember how to play it.  I know you try to move
the football down the field trying to score a touchdown...

tailgatepartyb.jpg (28624 bytes)

The Bad:
Considering I can never win anything at this game,
I'd say almost everything about this game is bad.
I can't get the bonus game...  I can't line anything up...
I can't get the two cheerleaders to line up... I just can't
seem to do anything right when it comes to this game...
Do you have a game like this???
And yet, I still put money in it, hoping that I am
incredibly overdue and then run away with my
tail between my legs.

Farming Video Slot Review
(03/22/06)

Jackpot:

The Good:
Excellent artwork and animation, which is expected
with any IGT machine.  The golden carrot bonus game
lets you keep picking carrots, while revealing credits
and increasing your carrot-o-meter, which increases
your mulitplier.  You can't go wrong with a classic 
pick 'em bonus game.

18goldcarrots2b.jpg (22058 bytes)

The Bad:
Other than the bonus game, there isn't too
much to get excited about.  This is just one of those
generic video slot machine that you will see banked
together with the other non-licensed video slots.
I'm just not too crazy about machines that use
innovative symbols like "J" or "K" or "Q".  How about
a rabbit or a trowel or a plant stick?

Bonus King
Royalty Video Slot Review
(02/01/06)

Jackpot:
Five jackpot symbols on the max line
with max coins bet

bonuskingkastleb.jpg (21655 bytes)

The Good:
6 different bonus games can be played on one machine.
By adding on an additional bonus bet, you get a chance
to play a bonus game on every spin.  You no longer need
to line up bonus symbols on your reels.  The variety of
bonus games is pretty good and will keep you playing
just so you can play your favorite one, "just one more time".
The bonus king machine doesn't feature bonus king symbols
as it will be available on a carousel of many machines with
the bonus bet option.  Some bonus games are similar to the 
old standbyes, but one in particular, the king spins bonus,
is new and refreshing.  You play a 4 x 4 reel slot machine
that pays 256 ways.

bonuskingsgoldb.jpg (22243 bytes)

The Bad:
Adding on an extra bet seems a bit irritating to me.
Another thing that is getting more prevelant is the
random bonus game.  As of now, I am not a big fan
of the bonus game popping up randomly as opposed  
to actually seeing the bonus symbols line up.  I guess
it's just more rewarding to get to the bonus games the
old fashioned way.  If you like a particular bonus game,
should you get the bonus king feature, you get no say
into which bonus game you play, so you have a 1 in 6.
shot at playing your favorite one.

Video Slot Re-Review
(02/22/06)

Jackpot:
Five Wild Dick Clark symbols
with max coins bet

abbonusb.jpg (19978 bytes)

The Good:
I think the first thing I noticed about this game was
the great sound and music.  Not to be outdone are the
great graphics and animation.   It features two good
bonus games that are a lot of fun to play.  The Rate a Record
Record bonus uses the wheel above the machine with the
added bonus of getting to pick a button on the jukebox
if the wheel lands on any of the record symbols.
The other Top Ten bonus game has you trying to lead
a record up the charts using five rounds of you picking
a record which reveals how many spaces up (or down)
the chart your record goes.  Another great part of the
AB game is that the Dick Clark symbol is wild and really
helps line things up, especially when playing 20 lines.
This game is now available in penny flavors to take
the sting out of playing 20 nickels a spin.

abandstandchartbonus300.jpg (30016 bytes)

The Bad:
Well, for one thing, the wild Dick Clark symbol always
appears on the last two reels, where he is of no use. The
two bonus game symbols always seem to get in each
other's way and like to block other symbols from lining up.
Playing 20 (or 25?) lines can really put a crimp into your
bankroll, especially when symbols refuse to line up.
One bad thing coming in the future is that Ryan Seacrest's
face will probably be showing up instead of Dick Clarks.

Jackpot:

alfespressob.jpg (29312 bytes)

The Good:
The Espresso Free Spin bonus is a lot of fun to play.
You first pick your coffee to determine how many free
spins you get and then it's off to the reels for the free spins.
Every spin increases the multiplier.  You get three times the win
on the third free spin, 10 times the win on the tenth free spin, etc.
So, as your spins get larger, it gets more exciting!
This game features great sound and graphics featuring
everyone's favorite sitcom alien.

alfespresso2b.jpg (25930 bytes)

The Bad:
30 lines... my bankroll, nor my brain can handle
30 lines a spin.  It's hard enough figuring out where
the 20 lines are and then even harder when the IGT
and WMS machines don't have the same 20 lines. 
While this game has great graphics and audio, it gets
old as you whittle away 30 coins (or more) at a time
waiting to get the Espresso Bonus game.

The Good:
Why do I like this game?  Maybe it's because I liked
the movies... or maybe it's because I used to win all the time...
or maybe it's because this is just a solid machine.
Four different bonus games:  Dr. Evil, Match Win, Pick-
an-Austin, and Fembot.  (Who doesn't like their bonus shot
out of fem-bot breasts?)  Great graphics and sound!
Line up three characters or three of any phrase and get
a dose of the actual actor's voices.  Here great lines from the
AP movies with Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Elizabeth Hurley,
Robert Wagner, Seth Green, and more Mike Myers.
9 play lines make for a long stay at this machine
as opposed to the now-norm 20 line machines.

austin5shagb.jpg (36730 bytes)

The Bad:
Believe it or not, there are some flaws to this machine.
Unless you're playing max coin, you really aren't going
to rack up huge bonus'(s?  bonusii?) during the bonus games.
In fact, you are more apt to get a really bad bonus than
if you're playing a newer video slot machine.  I've put up
a bonus in single digits on more than one occasion.
These machines are harder to find since they are old.
The last time I was in Vegas, Sept 2005, I found them
at the Plaza and the Palms in penny to dime versions.
There's nothing like hearing the "Mini-me" sound bite
20 times a session, but at least that means you're winning.

cashcove1b.jpg (19313 bytes)

The Good:
A fun fishing bonus game that is similar to
the Harley Davidson spin bonus.  You need to achieve
a certain amount of credits to make it to the next round.
In this case, you need to pick fishing spots and then pick
three targets to cast your bait.  If youf total after the three
picks is greater than what you need, you get to advance
to a new spot.  If your total is less than what you need,
your bonus round is over.  The other bonus game is the gill
seeker bonus where you get to watch a fish radar that
will show you a bunch of fish and you get the credit for
whichever one you catch.  So, you get to watch a few big
fish swim by and then you get to reel in a little minnow.
