The Royal Ascot Week runs from June 20 to June 23. Punters will take a break of sorts from the FIFA World Cup to take a look in at the most prestigious event in the horse racing calendar. We take out two horse racing themed slots from the archives. These are from Microgaming and can be played at online casinos like All Slots and Platinum Play. Though they do not have contemporary slots features, they exude an old-world charm retained at Ascot. Both video slots are named after common horse racing terms.

Sure Win is a 5x3 slot game with 25 selectable paylines. The Sure Win logo awards the highest line payout of 7,000 coins. It is also the wild symbol with a 3x multiplier property. The thematic symbols are three different jockeys, three different horses, trophy, betting slip, jockey cap and binoculars. The slimy bookie is the scatter symbol. It awards payouts multiplied by the total bet when two or more appear anywhere on the reels. Three or more scatter symbols trigger the free spins feature. Three options are offered and you select one of them. The choices are 12 free spins with 4x multiplier, 16 free spins with 3x multiplier and 24 free spins with 2x multiplier. If you like high octane action, then go for the first option. If you are the slow and steady type then the last option is best for you. Sure Win also includes the Microgaming gamble game.

First Past the Post is available only on the Microgaming download platform. Hopefully at some time it will be made available on the instant play casinos. It also has the 5x3 structure with 25 selectable paylines. You can hear the crowd egging on their favourite horses in the background. The symbols taken from horse racing include betting slip, champagne, horses, tote board, trophy and female race goer dressed up for Ascot. The horses are the wild symbols appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. They also trigger the First Past the Post bonus feature. You have to back one of the horses in the virtual race on the screen. You will be awarded a number of free spins and a payout multiplier based on your horse's position in the race. You can win up to is 30 free spins. First Past the Post also has the standard Microgaming gamble game. It is an optional feature that can be activated after any winning spin. You can double your payout by correctly guessing the colour of the card or quadruple your payout by correctly guessing the suit.
