Slots Review: Garfield - It's All About Me, Men in Black, Bally's Cartoon Jackpot New Games

1) Garfield - It's All About Me:

Doesn't that say it all about this amusing, yet bigheaded cat? Garfield is accompanied by his opponent Odie the dog, owner Jon and his gal-pal Arlene. Thought balloons display Garfield's thoughts about a never-ending quest for food and how to get Odie in trouble. The bonus events are packaged to occur both on screen and via a top box grid.

With Mission Refrigerator, the player selects a four square path to the fridge for Garfield while Jon sleeps. Each square the cat touches causes either a credit award or a noise. If Garfield reaches the fridge without waking Jon up, you move on to the higher-level bonus, played out on the top box wheel. Target Practice bonus shows Garfield weighing a pie in his hand, with three potential targets in the background--Jon, his girlfriend Arlene or Odie and your selection reveals the bonus award. At that time, a trivia question will appear on the screen with two possible answers wherein your answer will trigger Garfield to fling the pie. If the answer is correct, the pie hits the victim and moves you up to the top box for a spin and reward at the Slice of Life bonus wheel.

Garfield antics are ongoing in this game with the advantages being a hearty chuckle and additional credits.

2) Men in Black:

is back with the truly strange alien characters, Agent Zen, MIB boss and Frank the Pug, the alien-talking bulldog. Line up three or more Aliens and you are away to the Find the Alien bonus round. The screen opens up to MIB control room where Agent Zen provides a selection of 20 file folders that will offer extra coin, Frank the Pug or an Alien Wanted Poster. If you choose an Alien Wanted Poster, there will be a second level displaying five characters, one of which is the alien and pays the larger bonus. If Frank the Pug is located, three of the five characters are eliminated. Additionally, the Neuralizer Bonus is triggered with three scattered neuralizer symbols on the reels. Neuralizer is the pen shaped device used in the films to erase the memories of people who see aliens. Extra credits for this round include Extra Picks and/or a top box bonus event where bonus numbers are displayed within a scrolling device that stops on a final reward.

If outer space and far-out characters is for you, then look no further than this appealing game.
