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.

Absolutely addictive

I love all Phantom slots but this is the best yet. They just get better all the time, and if you visit their website (PhantomEFX.com) message boards you'll see why. Someone from support is on there all the time trying to make things better for their customers. Even to the point of changing an upcoming game from 9 lines to 20 lines because that's what their regulars wanted! They have a new line of slots coming out in August, and they're promising to be even better--but I don't think you can go wrong with either Nickels & More or Nickel Alley.

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!!!

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.

This is Awesome!

Wow! Its hard to find just the right phrase for this game. Phantom EFX has taken slot play to an entirely new level. I thought it would be hard to out-do their previous title "Nickel Alley", but WOW! Every game is awesome, well thought out, and addictive. The prize vault in this game is amazing! Nice job guys, and this is a must play!

"Reel Deal Slots Nickels & More" is great. I look forward to each release from PhantomEFX. The games are creative and the graphics are so detailed. There are a good variety of 5, 9, 15 and 20 line games (Adventure is great & comes with great bonus rounds). And with this edition you can also add stand alone games from PhantomEFX website. This game is full of surprises. Like going to Las Vegas without having to lose all you money. For the money go with PhantomEFX.

Ya just can't buy one!

A friend had recommended this CD and I'm very glad he did! The games are so realistic, right down to the sound effects, colors, screen shots, etc. that you can almost believe you're in a casino instead of the comfort of your own home. I've enjoyed discovering all the games on the CD and playing the bonuses. I like this so much that I'm planning to buy more for Christmas gifts for several family members.
