As addicting as real slot machines, but you don't go broke!

Reel Deal Slots Bonus Mania:

I just got this game for my PC. It's awesome! I'm a slot addict, I admit. I'm that person in the casino who sits there dropping money into the same slot machine because "I just know it's gonna hit soon!" This way, I can still have that mentality and not go broke because of it!

I did have one issue with the installation process. For some reason the video poker games didn't load and I get an error message every time I try to login to play. I know there aren't any issues with my computer that caused that because I just bought it a week ago. So far, that's my only problem.

I got the game yesterday, and actually managed to play it for about eight hours, trading off every so often with my fiancé. Our kids loved watching and went crazy for the bonus games. At the ages of two and four, I wonder if I should start teaching them now of the dangers of gambling...

All I know is this game is so much fun! I've only played using dream world odds... I've had my share of real world beatings so I'm not really in any hurry to play that way. Although, I guess winning thousands upon thousands of fake dollars will become boring eventually and I'll be glad to switch it up.

I highly recommend this for slot players. Buying this game helped me realize it's not the money involved with playing slots that got me addicted, it's the games themselves. What an expensive lesson to learn... Anyway, just buy it and have fun!

Another Very Fun Set of games from EFX.

Real Deal Slots Bonus mania is another very fun set of games that are very much like the slots at casinos. Most of the games are nine line slots with some 15, one 20 and 3-4 regular one line slots. All the games have at least one bonus feature. All the games are fun. with EFX games you can also get VIP Points, play each game a certain amount of time, gather Jules, and buy all the items in the VIP showrooms to earn a surprise. Its all very fun. Two of the bonus games are a bit hard to play on a lap top, Academy and Guitar GURU, Other wise there all point and clink and easy and fun. Also you can go on line with these games and play with other people. I have not done that so I cannot commit as of yet. My only complaint would be there are no "all scatter pay" machines such as Pompeii and whales of cash in the casinos, hear on the Bonus mania set. Adding a couple of games, like that, would have made this set perfect. I would recommend this set of games; and heck its way cheeper then going to the casino.

I always have enjoyed Phantom's Games and eagerly awaited this release. After all the hype and such that was going on before hand I knew I was in for a treat. As usual I was not disappointed. The game plays just like a casino. You have the option of choosing odds for payouts. The graphics are outstanding and with the ability to add your own MP3 music to the already installed playlist makes it even more personal.
Also recommend that Vegas also be purchased to make it even more realistic

Love this game. It was a gift to me from a friend. She knew about the other Phantom games and had pre-ordered hers. At the same time she pre-ordered one for me. I had not played slot games before and did not know what to expect. After I installed the game and entered the site I was greated with very friendly staff. Both the staff and the other experienced players were very helpful. There are tournaments held almost every hour, where you can compete against other live players. There is a chat area, where you can also just sit and meet new players from all over the world. The graphics in this game are remarkable! And the sound effects are just as good. I also have a lot of mp3 music files. And they can be added to the games mp3 folder. So I can play the slots and listen to my own music! What a thrill! I also recommend Vegas Experience which gives you the table and poker games.

Lots of good games, not the best Phantom title

I own a bunch of Phantom titles, as well as downloads, and Bonus Mania while very good, isn't my favorite of the bunch.

First of all, there are lots of bugs in the game. The lobby takes an obscenely long time to load and often crashes. The games also crash from time to time (hint, if the background music goes out or doesn't come on at all or you're panning motion seems erratic, reboot, you'll just lose everything you win). Once you get the lobby loaded, you can download "fixes" from the website, which seems to have helped a little, but what a pain.

Games: This is more of what I'd call a "boy" box of games -- so if you're a guy, you might like these more than, perhaps, a girl. There is a cool guitar game where, during the bonus round, you have to push keys in the right order to hit song cords (quite challenging and addictive), a car racing game with a memory feature and additional payouts for taking first/second etc at the end of the season, an "all-you-can-eat" game which is, considering the muching reel stop sounds, just gross, train games, history games, caveman games, kung fu, etc. I'd say at least half of the games are in this vein of design and play.

Pros: Games with "memory" bonuses you can build over time, good background music, good number and selection of games.

Cons: My main problem with this title is - the title. I don't know, I expected a collection of games with the title "Bonus Mania" in it to have extra bonus rounds, easy bonus rounds, bonus rounds everywhere... but it's not. Pretty much just the same as all the other games so don't let the title fool you. In fact, these are the hardest bonus rounds to hit of any title I've played by Phantom so far. Also, you can't get through the "vaults" in the game unless you win with "real" payout setting, not fantasy, so good luck with that.

Overall, it's fun and I'd recommend it, but if you're a Phantom fan, it might be a little disappointing. Also, the same annoying "you must play every game in the set" feature is still in the game for vault completion, so if you actually want to win the whole vault, be prepared to spend half an hour on each and every variation of video poker as well (Phantom, can you PLEASE ditch that feature?). Overall, nice number of games, fun bouns' when you can get um.

Needs fixing

I agree with " Suzie" the game needs fixing,this wasn't expected by me, because other Phantom games in this category, i have enjoyed immensely.For one thing it loads so much more slowly. sometimes at a snail's pace. The worst thing is you can't really control the mouse arrow, you wind up playing games you didn't intend to play. I have yet to reach the menu, in the upper right hand corner. IN fact it is so annoying, i am playing previous phantom and masque games. She is rught, they seem to be out to lunch in supplying help.
