Everygame Casino Introduces New Paydirt! Go for the Gold and Galaxy Blast, Its First Crash Game
Everygame Casino has two new games from SpinLogic for players to try. Paydirt! Go for the Gold is a wild west game with Wild Scatters and Morphing Symbols. Galaxy Blast is the casino’s first crash game – a new type of casino game where players try to cash out before their Rocket crashes.
Paydirt! Go for the Gold takes players back to the California gold rush with goldminers’ pans and pickaxes spinning on its five reels. Three or more Paydirt Wild Scatters trigger Free Spins with the Special Morphing Symbol feature. One symbol is chosen randomly before Free Spins begin, and if it’s part of a winning combination, it fills the entire reel, boosting prospects for a payout. Three more Scatters retrigger more Free Games with this feature.
In Galaxy Blast, players climb aboard a space-bound Rocket with a crew of other players and bet on how high it will go before it crashes. When the Rocket blasts into space, the Multiplier rises right along with it, reaching as high as 5000X the bet. But it can also explode at any time! Cashing-out too early can miss sky-high payouts; too late and the rocket crashes and burns. Galaxy Blast is a multiplayer game where all players are visible on the leaderboard where they’re ranked based on their highest bets.
Both new games are available in Everygame’s download and instant play casinos and in its mobile casino for smartphones and tablets.
One of the most trusted online casinos in the world, Everygame Casino has hundreds of premium real-money online slots and table games to choose from. Generous bonus offers give players lots of free play time. Its friendly and knowledgeable customer service agents make sure that everyone has a good time at the casino.
