There was a time when the big online casino games developers like Microgaming, Playtech, NetEnt and IGT ruled the roost. Competition has turned the structure on its heads. There are a number of small slots developers that supply high quality games, directly or indirectly, to online casinos. Proprietary Gaming has released somewhat provocative video slots like A Night with Cleo to the Bovada Casino group. Just For The Win (JFTW) has released two innovative online slots exclusively to Microgaming for onwards delivery. If you are tired with the standard bonus features then you should check out the JFTW slots.

The first JFTW online slot was Gwendolyn’s Fairies. Since almost all players enable all paylines, most slot machines now offer fixed number of paylines. Gwendolyn’s Fairies has 20 fixed paylines. The payout multipliers for line wins seem to be very small. These are not multiplied by the line bets, as is common, but by the total bet. Once you fix the number of paylines then this simplification can be done.

JFTW has introduced the Returning Wild feature in Gwendolyn’s Fairies. This feature is completely new and has not been seen before in online slots. A Respin Wild symbol appearing anywhere on reel 3 triggers the respin mode. The respins continue till no more Respin Wilds appear. However, in the final spin there will be a wild symbol, where the first Respin Wild symbol appeared. The free spins mode is triggered by landing three Free Spins Wild symbols anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. You will get 10 free spins. In the last free spin you will get wild symbols where the original Free Spins Wilds were.

Lucky Links was the next online slot from JFTW for Microgaming. This slot game introduced the Lucky Links feature. One of the symbols, chosen randomly, will have the Lucky Links frame wherever it appears. The symbols in this slot game are stacked and the stacks can appear on adjacent reels. So you can get symbols with the Lucky Links frames horizontally next to each other. The reels with such symbols will then lock and the remaining reels will spin again. If more links are formed then the new reels will lock and the remaining reels will spin again. The process repeats till one of two events happen. The first event is that no new links are formed. The second event is that all reels are locked. The payouts are then awarded.
