What is an I-slot?

We go over I-slots and other prominent slot machines week after week and yet we have to consider that some readers may be new to the I-slot world and are wondering what an I-slot really is?

The I-slot was conceived and baptized by Rival-Gaming, a leading casino game developer for online casinos. The I-slot stands for interactive slot, which is the defining characteristic of these slot games. The player gets to interact with the machine rather than just sit passively waiting for a result. Thus the I-slot was born when the team behind Rival-Gaming started designing slots that required skill and ingenuity from the player to achieve better results. Ever since the I-slot came out, it has been regarded as a major revolution in the online gambling world.

One of the first games to be released was As the Reels Turn, which eventually ended up forming a trilogy. These games besides having interactive bonus rounds, also feature a story that evolves as the player advances from one scene to the next. The theme of As the Reels Turn is in terms of a fictional Las Vegas casino that has some management issues because the mob wants to get in. The player gets to solve the mystery by reaching the final scene of each of the three games.

Since then Rival-Gaming has released quite a collection of I-slots. These include Cosmic Quest, Hole in Won, Baby Boomers Cash Cruise and the latest Spy Game. All of these have fun bonus rounds that require skill and attention. One of our favorites is Hole in Won where the player gets a chance to play virtual mini-golf on a 9-hole course. The less strokes a player does to get the ball in, the higher the jackpot reward will be in the end. Usually these interactive bonus rounds require that the player use keyboard and/or mouse to control the outcome of the mini-game.

So, now that you know what an I-slot is, it is time to try them out. Above we have an application that allows you to play instantly all of the I-slots.
