Dollar Ball Online Slots

Added: January 8, 2014

Online casino table games with side bets are popular because they offer a second chance for winning. The leading software provider Playtech has incorporated an exciting side bet in a selection of its video slots. These are referred to as Dollar Ball online slots at Playtech online casinos.

You can play the slot games without activating the side bet, but that will defeat the purpose. You will have to click on the Dollar Ball icon in order to activate the side bet. This leads to a lotto style game in which you have to choose five numbers from 1 to 49. Once the selection is made the Dollar Ball side bet will be operative with each spin with the same set of numbers. This will continue until you change the numbers or disable the side bet.

Your selected numbers will be displayed on the screen. Once you activate the spin of the video slot, five numbers will be randomly drawn and displayed above your selection. This happens while the slots reels are still spinning. You will receive payouts if any of the numbers drawn are common with your selected numbers. Naturally, if you get more matching numbers then the payouts will be higher. The slot games have a separate pay table for the Dollar Ball side bet.

Up to three matches pay a fixed amount. If you get one matching number the payout is equal to the side bet. If you get two matching numbers the payout is two times the side bet. If you get three matching number the payout is 25 times the side bet. The real action is with four or five matches because the payouts are linked to a progressive jackpot. A small portion of the side bet contributes to the progressive jackpot pool. If you get four matches you will win 1% of the current progressive jackpot ticker. And if you are lucky enough to match all five numbers then you will win the total amount in the progressive jackpot.

There are over a dozen Dollar Ball slot games at Playtech online casinos. Desert Treasure is the most popular because it usually figures prominently in the winners’ lists. A Night Out is popular among the female players because of its theme of a glitzy hen party. The men go for Football Rules and Silver Bullet. Another fantastic Dollar Ball slot is Forest of Wonders with its comic take on Alice in Wonderland. Captain’s Treasure, Alien Hunter, Geisha Story, Golden Tour, What’s Cooking, Lotto Madness, Greatest Odyssey, Highway Kings, Dr Lovemore and Thrill Seekers are other slot games in this category.
