I've been playing these pretty heavily since early summer, and I think I've finally got them figured out. To be honest, it does take a little of the fun away knowing how the bingo numbers and patterns work, and once you learn a certain game's patterns and payouts, you often have a good idea what's gonna come up when the machine red spins. I still get pleasantly surprised, but it doesn't happen often anymore. Here's what I've learned so far...
You can watch the screen before playing; it will cycle through all the winning bingo patterns and what they pay on each bet. I've seen people under the assumption that they have to 'wait' or 'pick' a pattern to go for lol. They don't realize it's just 'advertising' so to speak.
Red spins occur when you have more than one winning bingo pattern on your card. The spins are awarded from lowest to highest. For example, if you get a red spin after getting mixed bars, the red spin will be something equal to or greater than the mixed bar payout. If you get more than 2 winning patterns, it will continue to red spin until all patterns/payouts have been awarded. I once seen a machine go red on mixed bars, then the machine proceeded to red spin AT LEAST 7 times after, with the last spin being triple bar, duck, duck on a quarter machine for over 400. My personal record so far is 5 red spins on Lucky Duck for over 900 on a dollar slot.
You get a new randomly generated bingo card every time you hit the spin button. Right below where your card is displayed, you can see all the bingo numbers that have been called so far. You'll see a set of gold/orange numbers, then you;ll see a set of white numbers that are 'called' by the machine every second or so. Here's the catch...you only get a payout for a bingo pattern if that pattern is made up of the gold/orange numbers. The white numbers being called out will be marked on your card, but you can't win anything off them. As more white numbers are called, the more impressive your bingo cards look as you hit the spin button, but still, you only get credit for patterns made up of gold numbers. Think of the white numbers as a countdown to the next bingo game; once all the bingo numbers have been called, a new game is started and the gold/orange numbers are changed. When a new game is started, 38 numbers are randomly generated to be gold 'winning' numbers and then the server begins calling out the rest of the numbers in white until they have all been called again.
Different casinos have different winning patterns; at one casino here, a triple bars payout on Lucky Ducky is getting a peace sign on the bingo card, whereas at another casino the same payout is achieved by getting an 'L' pattern. Again, the numbers making up these patterns have to be in the gold/orange section. You can also get what I call a 'double trigger' on the same pattern. My local Lucky Ducky machines have an 'anchor' pattern that gives you 2 double bars and a duck for 120 credits max bet. However, if all the gold numbers that make up that pattern are also in the FIRST 27 gold numbers listed, it will turn red and hit the anchor pattern again, but this time you will get the scattered 3 ducks for an additional 480 credits. There are 3 patterns that I know of that hit this way: champagne glass, anchor, and quotation mark I believe. These are also the highest hits you can get without hitting the jackpot, hence the reason they're so hard to hit.
There are some anomalities I haven't been able to understand yet though. For example, the 'cross corner' bingo pattern on Lucky Ducky is a small cross in the center of the card plus all four corner spaces. Normally, you will get credit for just the small cross first, then get a red spin that hits the cross corner pattern, which is displayed on the reels as two mixed bars and a duck. However, sometimes I've hit this without a red spin; I'm puzzled over why it doesn't always red spin when you clearly have 2 winning patterns in one. I've also hit some really big hits that just roll down without red spinning at all; most big hits are complicated patterns that also contain other smaller winning patterns within them.
I think I'm starting to ramble lol...but I hope that this may help anyone who plays these games and maybe has a hard time understanding when and where the red spins come from. Yes, once you learn all the patterns, it does take some of the thrill of a red spin away...unless you have a pretty full card and it red spins; so many bingo combinations are possible at that point and it happens so fast and you don't have time to see which numbers on your card are in the gold or white category. I wish there was an option to hide the bingo card from view; that would really make it exciting.
If
you’re an American gambler and you don’t remember seeing VGT slot machines,
then you probably live near one of the major gambling hubs in America. VGT
isn’t as prominent in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City, or Tunica, where IGT
and a few other companies dominate the class III slot machine market. Video
Gaming Technologies, Inc. is in the Native-American casino niche. VGT
supplies class II gaming machines to Indian casinos and other gaming venues
in the less frequented parts of the country. Again, you might not know the
distinction between these two types of casino devices, so before I discuss
VGT in too much depth, I want to talk about class II slots.
What Are Class II Slots?
Class II slot machines are known as “video lottery terminals”, while class
III machines are called “Vegas-style” slots. VLTs are connected to a
centralized computer. This computer determines the result of each wager.
Each machine linked to the system receives an equal chance of winning. VLT
payouts come from a limited prize pool, much like the scratch-off lottery
tickets you would buy at a convenience store or other vendor. Unlike common
perception, Class II games may or may not have a skill element.
Some gaming machines have characteristics of both class II and class III
devices. In these cases, they are all considered class 2 machines. By law,
if even one characteristic is in the class II designation, it’s considered
in that classification. This is an important distinction, because states
only allow a certain number of classification III licenses. Those in the 2nd
classification aren’t regulated as closely.
Characteristics to note are whether you’re playing against the house (c3) or
against other players who’re competing for the same prize (c2). Whereas any
result is possible in a game with a payout schedule only, in the class II
games, a win doesn’t occur every spin, but the game continues until someone
win. Also, the player must be active, recognizing when they win and
announcing the result, like in bingo. Finally, all players play from the
same set of numbers.
Video Gaming Technologies Games List
Now that you know the market Video Gaming Technologies targets, let’s talk
about some of the games they market. The company offers 3-reel mechanical
games, 5-reel mechanical games, 5-reel video games, bonus blast, charity
gaming machines, “Mexico games”, and multi-games. Each of these provides a
different gaming experience.
3-Reel Mechanical Games
The largest list of gaming choices from VGT is the 3-reel games. Many of
these play like classic machines, though the graphics and sound quality are
21st century. Examples of these games include Lucky Ducky, 777 Bourbon
Street, Caribbean Cash, Star-Spangled Sevens, Quarterback Cash, Red Zone
Cash Rush, Squirrels Gone Nuts!, Tito Puento: King of Mambo, Mr.
Millionaire, Red Hot Rubies x2, Celia Cruz: The Queen of Salsa, Double
Freedom Wheels, and Greenback Jack.
5-Reel Video and Mechanical Games
The company offers four 5-reel mechanical games: Free Spins of Fortune,
Gemstone Falls, Land of Free Spins, and Pirate’s Paradise. If you prefer
5-reel video slots games, you have three options: Silver Dollar Shootout,
The Hunt for Neptune’s Gold, and Cameloot. The top award on the first of
these three games is 25,000 credits, while the top fixed jackpot on the
second and third video slots listed are 50,000.
Bonus Blast Features
“The Bonus Blast” features are customizable bonus games offered on various
gaming machines or types of games for Video Gaming Technologies. These offer
a different gambling experience for players. These games have intriguing
titles like Rainin’ Rubies, Winning Wheel, Victory Lap, Lucky Pluck, Red
Screen Free-Spin, Pick a Safe, Pick a Duck, and Pick a Pot. You’ll find
these one live-call bingo mechanical or video slot games.
Charity Games
Under the charity games, you’ll find titles like Red Ball Roundup. This
series of games has four iterations: Red, Blue, Golden Fan, and Jade Dragon
8’s. Games like Mr. Millionaire, Esmerelda’s Dream, and Crazy Bill’s Gold
Strike are also available. A couple of these titles are also multi-game
platforms, meaning you can enjoy several games on each box. For instance,
Red Ball Roundup, Lucky Leprechaun’s Loot, Jewels & Gems, and Red Hot Rubies
all offer 10 games. This is where you’ll find video keno for the VGT
company.
Mexico Games
Some of the Mexico Games also have the multi-game feature. Eighteen
different Mexican slots have been designed by Video Gaming Technologies.
Some of the games I’ve already discussed are on that list (El Millonario),
but some Spanish-language games include Carerra de oro, Celia Crus: La Reina
de la Salsa, Gol de Oro, Diana Cazadora, Pancho Pesos, Locura Por Los
Diamantes, Joyas Y Gemas, and La Fortuna Del Gambusino. More titles exist,
but the idea is to design Spanish language slot machines for an emerging
market of Spanish speaking clients.
VGT Slots Review
Once you get over the word “bingo” plastered across the top of the screen,
class 3 machines don’t provide a much difference gaming experience than the
Las Vegas type of fruit machines. Obviously, you know the entire time you’re
competing against other gamblers in the vicinity, but since you can’t affect
the outcome of the game for better or worse, the difference is more academic
in nature. The games themselves are fresh, inventive, and look good, too. If
I had a complaint, I’d say I wish more 5-reel video slots were on the list.
Even that quibble is a muted one, because I can respect their decision to
stick with tradition as the 5-reel games become more prevalent all the time.
Vgt Red Screen Slot Machines
While I don’t play Video Game Technology’s “Mexico Games” series that often,
it’s a smart move to tap into the gaming habits of the growing Chicano and
Hispanic population in the United States. While I might have missed the
effort, I know of no other major gaming machine producer in the USA which
has put so much effort into themes which might appeal to the gamblers who
use Spanish as their primary language. America’s gambling industry is an
ever-changing landscape. With its attention to overlooked demographics and
its increasing saturation of the growing gambling network of the Native
American casino industry, VGT is on the cutting edge of American gambling
technology.
