Free spins features have become an integral
part of online slot game Malaysia. Usually the free spins feature is triggered
when a designated symbol appears in a specified manner on the reels. In online
slot game Malaysia this designated symbol is the scatter symbol and the free
spins feature is activated when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere
on the reels. However two recently released online slot games have a different
and innovative mechanism for triggering the free spins feature. One of these
games is Tribal Treasure. This game has a counter which tracks the number of
times the Mask symbol appears on the reels. When the Mask symbol appears on the
reels the value of the counter increases by 1. When the value of the counter
reaches 10 the free spins feature gets triggered. This perhaps does not make
any difference as to how often the free spins feature is triggered. The slots
game software can be so devised that the average expected number of spins in
order to get three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels is the same as
the average expected number of spins to accumulate 10 Mask symbols. However,
this new mechanism provides a visible change in the routine and this adds
considerable interest in the slot game. One of the parameters of the free spins
feature is a number of free spins offered. In many slot games this number is
fixed. In other slot games the number of free spins is determined by various
methods. For example if three scatter symbols appear on the reels then the
player gets a certain number of free spins. If four scatter symbols appear then
the player gets a larger number of free spins and if five scatter symbols
appear then the player gets the largest number of free spins. Sometimes the
number of free spins is decided randomly through a mini game. The Microgaming malaysia onlineslot game called Scrooge has combined the counter system for determining the
number of free spins as well as when the free spins will be triggered. This is
an innovative procedure and though slightly complex it is interesting. This
slot game has two counters. One counter determines when the free spins feature
will be triggered and the other counter determines the number of free spins.
Whenever a winning combination appears in an enabled payline the player is
required to click on any of the symbols in the combination. This process moves
one of the two counters ahead. Either the counter tracking when the free spins
will be triggered is moved ahead by one count or the counter that is tracking
the number of free spins is moved ahead by one count. Which of the two counters
will be activated is decided randomly. In Scrooge the free spins feature is
triggered when the counter reaches 25. When this happens the player gets the
number of free spins shown in the other counter. The online slots game Malaysia
are extremely competitive products. Such innovations are needed not only to
keep the player involved but also to differentiate the product of the software
provider from that of others. In this counter mechanism once the value of the
counter approaches the cut off value the excitement is really high because the
player knows that the free spins feature is imminent. If the player is only a
few counts from the free spins being triggered he would want to continue
wagering and not give up the opportunity of receiving larger payouts in the
free spins.
