It would not be incorrect to state that online casino players flit from festival to festival. In January it was the New Year, in February came Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day was the March festival and now in April it is Easter. There are not that many Easter themed online slot games, but there are some great ones.

The oldest one is Eggstravaganza from Rival Gaming. It is also the simplest, being a three reel slot game with a single payline. The payout tables, the buttons and the reels are depicted as slabs of chocolate in keeping with the Easter theme. The theme is enhanced by well chosen symbols such as Easter Egg, Bunny Rabbit, Duck, Chocolate and Eggs Basket. They have been crafted as sugar frosted goodies. Despite being a three reel online slot game, Eggstravaganza has some great animations, which take place outside the reels. This also is unusual. When the Duck symbol pays out four ducks dawdle across the top of the reels and when the Bunny pays out a rabbit hops across the top of the reels. The structure of the Eggstravaganza slot machine follows the usual classic mechanism. Players can wager up to three coins and the coin size varies from 0.01 to 5.00 credits. Three Easter Egg symbols with three coins wagered pay out 2,500 coins. Eggstravaganza also offers a free spins bonus game with tripled payouts. One Bunny Rabbit symbol on any reel triggers 5 free spins and two Bunny Rabbit symbols trigger 10 free spins. Eggstravaganza can be played at all Rival Gaming online casinos like Ruby Royal.

For Easter 2011 the software provider Playtech launched a video slot game titled Easter Surprise. The Easter rabbit is the wild symbol. It also offers the highest jackpot payout of 10,000 coins when five symbols appear in an active payline. Other thematic symbols are brightly colored Easter eggs. The Easter Surprise online slot game also has two special symbols. The Easter Surprise Logo is the scatter symbol. Apart from offering scatter payouts, this symbol triggers the free spins bonus round when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Players are awarded ten free spins with tripled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered an infinite number of times. The Bonus Logo is the bonus symbol. Three or more consecutive bonus symbols left to right on an active payline trigger the Easter Egg bonus game. Players have to select eggs from the basket and will earn bonus credits. The Easter Surprise online slot has 20 paylines and players can wager up to 10 coins per payline. The coin size varies from 0.01 to 1.00 credits. Being a comparative recent release the slot game incorporates the regular Playtech features. The Auto Play feature allows players to set up 99 spins without manual intervention between spins. Easter Surprise also offers the Playtech gamble game. Players can stake their payout earned after any spin in this gamble game. They have to select the color of the next card dealt. If they guess correctly then their stake will be doubled. However, if they guess wrong then they will lose the staked payout. The Easter Surprise slot game is live at all Playtech online casinos such as Omni Casino, Mansion Casino and William Hill.
