Living in Bee Land

I was on the hunt for No Deposit Bonuses. Typically TopGame software is not something I’m drawn to but I found a nice amount to get me started.  I played at Rialto Casino and found an amazing slot game. My new love is Bee Land.

The graphics are bright and cheery. I love finding slots that feel so good to play. The characters are whimsical and colorful. The symbols are all bees that have different careers in Bee Land. There’s a ballerina with a pink tutu that is absolutely adorable. There’s a rocker bee, a halting police bee, a sweeping janitor bee and a painter bee. The best symbol is the wild. The big queen bee sits on her thrown batting her eyelashes. She has a big rack too. My goodness, men may like this slot just based on that alone.

The music is so catchy. It’s added to my experience as I played. There are two bonus features such as free spins and the Honey Queen bonus game. I gave it $30 to make me rich. I couldn’t get that darn Honey Queen bonus. I had some nice wins on the free spins.

My husband came home and heard the music.  He never knows what he’ll find me doing from day to day. I could be doing laundry, cooking, reading, watching television, playing with the cat or gambling at an online casino.  He sat next to me on the couch and watched me spin on Bee Land. Of course he got a look at the voluptuous queen bee and he wanted to take over.

My hubby played that until I had dinner ready. I remember that I began with only $30 and between the two of us, we kept it going. As I predicted, a man got one look at miss queen bee and fell in love.

Mobile Casino Discovery

I’ve been exploring mobile casinos for quite some time now. Many of my favorite casinos are offering great bonuses to try them out.

Did you know that you get a sign up bonus if you register with a mobile casino? I was in heaven when I found out. Not only did I take a great bonus as a new player at the online casino but now registering and gambling at the mobile casino earns me a nice bonus too.

Of course there is not a vast variety of games but it’s convenient, fun and dangerous. I say dangerous because we carry our mobile phones more than we do our computers. At least I do. I can sit in the doctor’s office and spin. I can play roulette while I wait in line at the grocery store. That’s a dangerous thing. Especially when I tend to forget that this is real money I’m playing with here.

My husband comes home and he’s telling me about this amazing thing a guy at work has shown him. He can’t believe what technology has evolved into. He’s in shock. It’s unbelievable. I will never believe it. Very calmly, I ask him what could be that interesting. He says, hun you can play your games on your mobile. I laughed and let him think he has been the one to introduce me to this new technology. He wanted to show me how it’s done. To not burst his bubble, I ran into the other room and removed the mobile casino from my phone. I didn’t want him to see it of course. Within minutes he had me all set up. It was so sweet. He was like a little boy coming home to show you what he had found.

I ooh’d and aah’d as I explored his new discovery.

Sex and the City Anyone?

The only thing better than watching people at casinos is watching them in on Rush Street in Chicago. I took a little break and headed out for a night on the town. Of course gambling was involved just not in my usual way with online casinos.

A brand new casino opened near the city and I paid them a little visit. After an afternoon of great food, drinks and people watching I hit the slots with my best girlfriends. I was amazed to see all the awesome slots that I see online at the land based casino. In Europe, the casinos don’t many slot machines. This casino had thousands.

I tried my hand at Sex and the City. It’s $2 per spin. If you’ve never played this slot game it has 4 screens. I believe it’s referred to as a multi-play slot. The bonus rounds can be really good and there are several. There are also progressive jackpots tied to the machines. The big money is Mr. Big. The jackpot for him was over $1,400. It’s almost impossible to even get a shot at it. What I mean is if you trigger the Mr. Big bonus, you don’t automatically get the progressive jackpot. You choose between three squares. One of them has his picture behind it. If you see his face, you win the jackpot.

There are 4 slot machines tied to the progressives. These machines do pay but sometimes you blow through 100 bucks before it happens. At $2 per spin it’s pretty steep. A woman sat down next to me and was wagering $8 per spin. I had just moved over because I wasn’t having any luck on that one. She sits down and almost immediately hits a bonus round. This was the shoe bonus. You pick a shoe and the reels spin. If your choice lands on the reels it locks in place and the reels continue to spin locking your symbol in place. You get 5 spins. This chick wins $1,900 on the machine I just left. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.

I was a woman in the city but the Sex and the City slot was not on my side.

Home Alone

When it comes to gambling it doesn’t get much better than online casinos. I love to get out to the land based casinos but there’s something so attractive about staying home and spinning on the slots in my own environment.

My husband had a guy’s night out and took the opportunity to have the house to myself and play some slots. After all the luck we had recently I was a little leery to play Thunderstruck II without him.  I decided against it and hit Club World Casino. I was in the mood for some RTG slots. The Club World exclusive slot game is amazing and the payouts can be even better. I deposited there recently but didn’t have any luck. To my surprise, they were kind enough to email me a $50 free chip.

I gave the Club World slot a few spins and didn’t have much luck. I wagered $1.50 per spin on Coat of Arms. My bankroll was high and low. Soon enough I was up by $100. I took a mini break to answer a call from my husband. He was having a good time and wanted to make sure I was ok. I played the part of missing him but really I was enjoying the time alone at home.

I got back to spinning on Coat of Arms and my jaw dropped. I had won the progressive jackpot of $700. I planned to cash it out but the temptation was too great. I did switch slots though since I figured my luck had ended on Coat of Arms.

Another favorite slot of mine is Golden Lotus. The bonus can be difficult to trigger. I was lucky enough to hit it a least 4 or 5 times. When three Golden Lotuses land on the reels you chose from several flowers that reveal free spins and multipliers. The highest multiplier I had seen is 100x but I’ve never been that lucky until this night.

Club World was very good to me and I cashed out $1200 and waited up to surprise my husband.

Team Work

Gambling is hands down one of my favorite past times. When I’m not out at bingo I’m home playing slots in my free time. One of my go-to casinos is Ladbrokes. I played Thunderstruck II which is highly addictive.

I deposited and it lasted for days. I played on and off. The Great Hall of Spins is so exciting. I think my favorite is feature is Thor. My husband walks by and always asks what I’m playing when I’m on this slot game. It catches his eye because it’s not girly.

With 243 ways to win, I never realize I’ve hit something until the pay line starts blinking. I was on a real winning streak but I had to start making dinner. I was running from the living room to the kitchen when it finally dawned on me. Bring the laptop into the kitchen. Duh!

Thunderstruck II can go really cold. Just as my bankroll began to dwindle my husband walked through the door. I turned it over to him to see if he could pull me out of this hole.  Between chopping garlic, boiling pasta and preparing garlic bread, I was down £200.

My husband relaxed and sat down for a few spins. By the time I called him in for dinner he had that sucker up over £600. He didn’t want to stop for dinner but I insisted that he needed his strength.  I resumed play and started losing fast. I waited until he slurped every last bit of spaghetti then he was back on duty.

The Wild Storm feature doesn’t really pay much in my experience but the free spins can be awesome. I’m watching him spin and he hits 3 Thunderstruck II symbols with two rainbow symbols.  During the bonus the win was multiplied by 5. The payout on that alone was worth over 2,500 credits. He bets pretty high and is much braver than me.  

The slot started getting stingy and my husband had enough sense to cash out. We walked away with just over £2,000. I always knew we were a great team.
