Around this time of the year players at online casinos start pulling out party themed online slot games from the closet. There is none better than Reel Party Platinum to experience the enjoyment of a New Year’s Eve party. It is from the portfolio of Rival Gaming and is live at online casinos like Bovada Casino and Bodog Casino. Rival Gaming also offers Reel Party online slot, which is an earlier version. The new makeover slot machine has more appealing graphics and win animations.

All the symbols in Reel Party Platinum are associated with a New Year’s party. You have a Happy New Year hat, male and female party goers, a platter of starters, a trumpet to blare in the New Year, a lemon cocktail, champagne glasses and a taxi to take you home (you obviously will not be in a condition to drive). All these symbols start paying out from three of a kind combinations.

There are the usual four Rival Gaming special symbols. The jackpot symbol is the fireworks display. It awards a line payout of 500 coins for five like symbols on an active payline. The wild symbol is the New Year represented as a baby. It also awards a top line payout of 5,000 coins adding volatility to the Reel Party Platinum video slot. Both these symbols start paying from two of a kind combinations. Old father time is the free spins symbol. Champagne with ice bucket is the bonus symbol.

The win animations bring the New Year’s party to life. The male party goer watches on as some of the girls shake a leg in the background. The champagne glasses are clinked to raise a toast. The best is for the firework celebrations. There is a countdown to the New Year after with the sky erupts in light. The bonus features are standard. Three, four or five Father Time icons appearing anywhere on the reels award 10, 20 or 100 free spins respectively. All payouts in the free spins are tripled. The bonus game on the second screen has the host and hostess taking you to the liquor cabinet. You select liquor bottles for bonus credits.

Reel Party Platinum has the regular 5x3 structure with 15 selectable paylines. You can wager up to 5 coins per payline with the coin size varying from $0.01 to $1.00. The maximum total bet per spin works out to $75, which should interest quite a few high roller players.
