Gaming GuruSlots Review: Captain Jackpot, Double Bonus Line and Sphinx Magic.7 February 2005By Gayle Mitchell
1) Captain Jackpot: Bally. 2 spins. 90-94% This slot introduces another slot superhero, Captain Jackpot, he of the muscular
physique and toothy grin. The basic game is a 15-line video slot with bets ranging
from 15-450 at 30 per line. The bonus round includes 10 free spins. A free spin round can be followed with more if the Super Power symbol appears
on an active payline while betting max coins. Along with the bonus symbols, comes a multiplier number that applies to all
free spins in the round. Play max coins here and your rewards are again and again and again. 2) Double Bonus Line: Bally. 7 spins. 92%. For those player who love to watch reels spinning, this five coin/five line
game with standard bar and 7 symbols and a Wild Bar symbol is for you. When six winning combos land on any payline, get set for Double Mode where
either that jackpot or the next hit on that payline pays double the normal jackpot.
As this six hit combo is reached, it is possible to have more than one payline
in Double Mode. Yippee-it's Double Up time and twice the fun at this slot. 3) Sphinx Magic: Atronic. The original Sphinx offered a multi-level, second-screen bonus event sending
players onward if they made the right choice in the bonus round. Players can select bets of OneWay or TwoWay. OneWay is standard play with jackpots
counting left to right only playing for the smaller progressive jackpot resetting
to $50,000. TwoWay betting activates right to left jackpots as well thus increasing
hit frequency and scatter wins while playing for two progressive jackpots where
Magic Jackpot resets at $100,000. Once the correct choice is made among the chambers in the Pharaoh's tomb during
the bonus event, you are then lead to the Magic Bonus triggering the top box
bonus. Each of the flip-card chambers has arrows above and below. When the bonus is
activated, the cards spin to present five different bonus amounts. This game is magical fun with several options courtesy of the friendly sphinx.
