Game Spotlight: The Newsmen

Posted on January 15, 2015 by alihigh5

The Newsmen is the 124^th game to release at High 5 Casino! Live footage for this game was filmed in High 5 Games‘ in-office studios using real actors and rad 70s-style costumes. Mario, the art director of H5G’s 50 West studio, provided some insight into the background of this far-out new game:

Action News Channel 5 is New York City’s top-rated newscast in the 1970s, but when an internal drug ring threatens to bring the news media giant down, NYC’s top undercover detectives pose as newsmen to bring the drug dealers to justice. It sounds like an ideal plan — the only problem is, while they’re truly New York’s finest cops, they’re also the worst newscasters in the world!

Get to know each of The Newsmen below, and find out more about their double lives — newscasters by day, crime fighters by night!

The Newsmen features Super Stacks and Bonus Select, so you know big wins are in store. Players that unlocked Glamorous Getaway and reached game level 100 before January 14th 11:59 pm EST can enjoy The Newsmen unlocked! If you didn’t unlock Glamorous Getaway or reach level 100 in time, no sweat! You can still unlock The Newsmen on H5C’s lobby slot.

Game Spotlight: Chang E

Posted on October 31, 2014 by alihigh5

Chang E – Reaching the Moon – released this week at Shake the Sky Casino. Chang E is a famous Chinese myth, and the latest game from the Romance Series to launch at STS.

The legend of Chang E goes a little something like this… Once upon a time, ten suns appeared in the sky, scorching everything in their path. Hou Yi quickly grabed his bow and destroyed all but one of the suns, which made him a hero and allowed him to marry the lovely Chang E. All was well until a thief broke into the couple’s home and attempted to steal a magical elixir. To prevent the potion from falling into the wrong hands, Chang E drank the elixir, which magically propeled her up to the moon, forever separating her from her love. On the moon, her lone companion is the rabbit who made the elixir.

Change E features Super Stacks with ReSpins and a Pick Bonus. If you land a ReSpin symbol, you’ll be taken to a special ReSpin screen to use your extra spins. You can continue to earn additional ReSpins while on the ReSpin screen, so the extra spins don’t have to stop!
