Won't Play on Newer Monitors

Reel Deal Slots Nickels & More is apparently a very old game that cannot be played on newer, widescreen monitors. This game can only be played on an 800 x 600 monitor, or a monitor that is capable of showing an 800 x 600 monitor.

It played fine on my six year old HP Pavilion, but that PC was dying. Purchased a new Dell Inspiron with a Dell 20" LCD monitor and the game crashes every time.

I contacted PhantomEFX and they said, "When "Nickels and More" was designed years ago, 800x600 was the most common and standard screen resolution. Because of the design of the game, there is also no present option to adjust screen resolution within the game."

So beware. This game is apparently not so old that they stopped selling it, but too old to play on modern monitors. IMO it should not be sold if it won't work on most new computers and if they won't support it anymore.

Looks very realistic but payout way to high

I enjoy playing the slots every now and then, so I picked this up on sale at a local store. It's very realistic, right down to how it spins, the bonus games, scatter, etc., however, it pays out too high. I was hoping for the payout percentages to be as realistic as how it looks. Believe it or not, I WANT to lose money. I want it to feel like I'm really at the casino. It's not so fun if you keep winning all the time, at least it isn't for me.

I previously had Reel Deal Nickel Slots by Phantom & really enjoyed it. The CD became damaged & I had to buy a new one. I was looking forward to an improved version, but this was somewhat dissappointing. I love the nickel slot games & most of these are ok, but nothing to get exited about. It seems that the technology should improve with time. I would love to see something that was closer to what you get in the casinos.

Lots of Fun and Bonus Games All Around

Short of being able to duplicate the real thing, this is most satisfying and fun to play. Only complaint I would put forward would be that you win way more often than you would in reality. Otherwise, the bonus games are varied and even occasionally challenging.

Just fun slots

My sister recommended another Phantom efx product and I liked it enough to get this one as well. If you like slots, this is a great assortment that will provide hours of mindless fun without losing real money. I live in Las Vegas, and this is just like the real thing. The casino is cool looking also. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys playing modern slots. The bonus rounds are fun and creative to play.

Best slot title around

After playing through 3 console casino titles in the past week and being disappointed in each of them, leave it to Phantom EFX to save the day. Nickels and More is a vastly entertaining product featuring a variety of video and reel slot machines and even 2 IGT licensed games called Checker King and Bunco Nights (which is sort of a variant on Yahtzee). While I have never seen these 2 IGT games in a Vegas casino, they are both very addictive.

As far as the video slots go, Phantom EFX came up with a nice variety of games ranging from 9-paylines to a whopping 20-paylines. "Adventure" is one of my personal favorites. This 20-line machine features a unique bonus round structure that challenges you to a series of puzzles. Complete one and the next time you hit for the bonus, you play a new bonus game. There are at least 6 different variations to this which keeps the game fresh. "Road trip USA" is another fun game featuring a bonus round that can be multiplied 2x or 4x depending on which "Interstate meter" you fill up first. An unusual slot variant is "Railroad To Riches", a 15-line machine with horizontally scrolling reels. One of the hardest games is "Grey Matter", a 15-line machine that features trivia questions for the bonus round. These trivia questions are far from easy as I have yet to answer one correctly on the first pick. All of the machines have great graphics and fun sound effects that complement the game perfectly. The reel slots aren't bad, but I'd like to see Phantom EFX come out with a volume of nothing but video slots. In addition to the slots, there is a "Prize Vault" which allows you to earn fictional prizes as you accumulate VIP points on your "slot club card". It's almost a game within a game, and if you listen to the prize descriptions, you'll find a few funny surprises as well.

Overall, if you're a slot fan, you definitely can't go wrong with this game. It's easy to pick up, easy to play, and very hard to step away from.

Very fun!!!!

Again EFX has put out another very fun set of games, to play on my home computer. My two favorite are the two you can find in some casinos, Bunco Nights, and cash King checkers. Both are fun and addicting. All the other games are like those you will find in casinos, some 9 lines, some 15 and a couple 20 liners. My favorites are Doctor, Doctor and CAT CRUSADER. There are also a couple of 3 coin slots if you like those I prefer the 9-to-20 liners with bonus games. All the games are fun, the graphics and sounds are very cool. Also when your play each game 20 minutes, gather enough VIP points to Buy all the prizes (in two open rooms and a secret room), win $10,000,000 Total you gain three more slots, two regular slots and one slot with a Video game. I highly recommend this set of games, and heck its way cheeper then going to the casino.

These Slots Are Brilliant!!

If you like playing slot machines, you'll love this amazing collection. PHANTOM EFX knows how to have fun and you can tell by their creative and stunning graphics and completely addictive gameplay. If you want to spend a weekend in Vegas without leaving home (and without losing your shirt), Reel Deal Slots Nickels & More is the trip to take. Many cool surprises too that aren't advertised. You will not be disappointed. Try 'em. Peace.

Really enjoy this program. Work in a Casino. This has the most realistic approach to the games. Like the lobby to change the game to play. Moving from one machine to another.

LOVE IT!!!

Okay, I saw this in Wal-Mart and didn't buy it at first, b/c I wanted to read the reviews here. Well, read the reviews, bought it and am already completely addicted!!! I love nickel slots anyway, and these are like the real thing. Great graphics, great variety of games, and makes me feel like I'm at the casino. This is my first phantom game, and it won't be my last!
Buy it, you won't regret it!!!
