Multi-Level Bonus Games In Online Video Slots

Added: July 13, 2016

Bonus features are the easiest components of online slots to innovate. You will find so many different types that it is difficult to classify them. Multi-level bonus games on the second screen are the most exciting because they can give you multiple chances to win prizes. In some slot games this exercise is made more challenging by allowing you entry to the higher level only if you “succeed” at the lower level. This article reviews two fascinating slot games that have this feature but with slightly different approaches.

Hellboy is a branded slot game from Microgaming based on the superhero of Dark Horse Comics. His famous enormous right arm made of stone and referred to as the Right Hand of Doom is the scatter symbol that triggers the Underworld Bonus feature. This is the four-level bonus game on the second screen. You proceed from one level to the next through tunnels in the underworld. Before you enter the tunnel you have to make a single pick. If you reveal a friend at any level you win a bonus and enter the tunnel to progress to the next level. All correct choices will lead you to the Chamber of Fire where you shoot the crystal to reveal the Relic of Power and win a random cash prize. But if you happen to pick a demon at any level then you will find the tunnel blocked and you will be returned to the base game. Next time you trigger the Underworld Bonus you start again from scratch.

Daring Dave and the Eye of Ra is an ancient Egypt themed video slot from Playtech. The Quest for the Eye of Ra bonus games on the second screen is activated by the pyramid symbol. At each level you must a task to move deeper into the pyramid and closer to the Eye of Ra. In level 1 you face eight stones that hide three Eye of Ra symbols needed to move to the next level. You get three picks each time the bonus game is triggered and win bonus credits for each pick. If you do not expose three Eye of Ra symbols you will be returned to the base game. But at the next bonus trigger you will be at the same position and continue from where you left off. Eventually you will reveal three Eye of Ra symbols and immediately start the next level. The remaining two levels are played in a similar manner. The right selection in level 3 takes you to the Eye of Ra and the grand prize.
