Slot Game Battle: Cave King vs. Leprechaun King

Posted on June 6, 2017 by hoothigh5

High 5 Casino’s Slot Game Battles are back and this week we bring you the battles of the Kings.

You just found out that you are the heir to the throne, next in line to rule the kingdom. This kingdom has been lacking a strong ruler with innovative ideas to boost the economy. The past few years have been hard for the kingdom and they are looking for you to help turn things around. Shocked and stressed thinking you have no idea how to rule a kingdom you get an idea, High 5 Casino has two great kings maybe one of them will agree to be a mentor.

Thousands of years ago in the era of dinosaurs Cave King ruled the land. All the other cave men and women followed his lead searching and hunting for food, water, and shelter and of course those beautiful jewels. All of this while avoiding the hot lava and hungry dinosaurs. Cave King was able to lead his people to safety and provide for them. He would stand up to the hungry dinosaurs and make sure that no one from his village was harmed. Cave King’s hobby of rummaging through caves to find the hidden gems allowed for his village to rise to success and become wealthy and healthy. Cave King came up with the idea of trading jewels for goods inside the village and between outside villages as well.

In a land far far away, the Leprechaun King has a different way of ruling the land. Born into the mystical royal family, the Leprechaun King is able to spread joy throughout the land with a rainbow of course. While the people tend to their farms of animals, grain and land the Leprechaun King waits back in the shadows to brighten up the next rainy day. After it rains the Leprechaun King creates a beautiful rainbow. At the end of that rainbow there is always a beautiful surprise to show the ‘commoners’ how much they are appreciated. What’s the surprise you ask? Well a POT OF GOLD of course! Men and women, boys and girls across the land put everything on hold once they see that rainbow and start hunting, for the one who finds the end of the rainbow gets to meet the Leprechaun King!

While Cave King and Leprechaun King have two very different styles of leading a kingdom, their ways work. Would you rather have Cave King who worked his way up to being the ruler of his village or Leprechaun King who was born into the mystical royal family as your mentor?

Cool Casino of the Month: Golden Nugget Las Vegas

Posted on February 10, 2015 by bobbyhigh5

Spinning at High 5 Casino or Shake the Sky Casino is plenty of fun, but sometimes you’ve got to get out and head to a real casino. Every month we’ll be highlighting a different land-based casino that you should visit if you’re ever in the area or ready for a trip.

Q: What’s the largest luxury hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas? A: The Golden Nugget Las Vegas, which is February’s Cool Casino of the Month!

It’s easy to make terrible decisions in Las Vegas, but one choice you won’t regret making is staying at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas. The Golden Nugget has been open since 1946, and currently features hundreds of slots – including plenty from High 5 Games – and dozens of table games spread out over 38,000 square feet. When you’re tired of gambling you can head back to one of the Golden Nugget’s 2,419 rooms and suites, which are spread out over four towers, and take a quick nap. Shoppers can indulge at one of the Golden Nugget’s exclusive stores, and those who like to be pampered can be spoiled with spa and salon services. If you’re more interested in partying, then check out The Tank – a heated year-round pool complete with a shark tank, three-story waterslide, and private cabanas – and the Golden Nugget’s variety of bars and lounges. Of course, no matter what type of person you are you’re going to have to eat eventually, and that’s when the Golden Nugget’s seven different restaurants come in handy.

Even if you’ve never been to Las Vegas, you’ve probably seen the Golden Nugget; it’s been featured in television shows, games, and movies like the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever and the 2006 movie Smokin’ Aces.

If you’re anywhere in New Jersey, you can spin 18 premium H5G slots – including Cave King, Valkyrie Queen, Rocket Man, Sirens, and Jaguar Princess – for real money from your laptop, tablet, or phone through Golden Nugget’s online casino.

What’s your favorite casino to visit? In between now and your next vacation, get your slot fix at High 5 Casino and Shake the Sky Casino.

Slot Fundamentals: The Collection Bonus

Posted on December 26, 2014 by bobbyhigh5

Today’s post comes from High 5 Blog correspondent Ali.

Slot Fundamentals is a column we run occasionally to help our players better understand how our games work. This edition deals with the Collection Bonus, a popular feature that can be found in many H5G games.

One of High 5 Games’ most versatile features is the Collection Bonus. It has been used in many games, in many ways. You may recall the basic Collection Bonus from Woolly Mammoth, the Clue Collection Bonus from A Night of Mystery, or the C-R-O-W-N Multiplier feature from Cave King and Queen Isabella, which is also a variation of the Collection Bonus.

For the purpose of this educational post, let’s focus on the basic Collection Bonus, as seen in Woolly Mammoth, which is available for play online at High 5 Casino and at select land-based casinos. The Collection Bonus is only found in the free games bonus of Woolly Mammoth; to launch it, land three or more bonus triggers in the base game.

In the Collection Bonus, collect the letters B-O-N-U-S and you’ll be able to select a Mammoth Multiplier, which multiplies the entire total winnings of the free games. Your winnings can be multiplied anywhere from 3x to 10x, depending on what mystery Mammoth Multiplier symbol you choose at the conclusion of the bonus round.

We hope you found this helpful, and that you score some big multipliers and even bigger wins with the Collection Bonus. Any other features got you stumped? Let us know which slot fundamental you’d like us to explain in the future!

High 5 Fight Club

Posted on October 9, 2014 by bobbyhigh5

Today I’ll be offering my thoughts on two showdowns between four different High 5 Games slots. Take the polls below and let us know what you think!

Woolly Mammoth vs. Cave King

Who would win in a fight between a Woolly Mammoth and the Cave King?

The Cave King clearly isn’t a slouch; after all, he has managed to become the ruler of his slot universe, which is no easy task. But look at him, covered in jewels, flanked by the Cave Queen and a friendly dinosaur. The man’s become complacent, perhaps a little paunchy even. He doesn’t want to fight anymore, he just wants to enjoy the spoils of his position. Now check out Woolly Mammoth. Look at those tusks, and that fierce, hungry stare. Woolly Mammoth is ready to throw down, and I think he’d squash the Cave King and any primitive weapons he could muster.

EDGE: Woolly Mammoth

Last Master vs. Dragon Showdown

Who would win in a fight between the warriors from Dragon Showdown and the Last Master?

Hmm. If it was just the Last Master against any single fighter from Dragon Showdown, I think I’d have to go with the Last Master, seeing as how she’s the last remaining person who’s well-versed in one particularly deadly martial art. However, if she’s going up against the Dragon Showdown collective, I think I’d have to pick the side with the numbers advantage. Sure, no one dude from Dragon Showdown may be as talented as the Last Master, but if there’s like six of them and only one of her, they’ll eventually emerge victorious from battle.

EDGE: Dragon Showdown

Ask the CEO

Posted on April 11, 2014 by bobbyhigh5

Tony, the CEO of High 5 Games, was kind enough to write a guest column for High 5 Blog addressing some of the questions our players asked on the High 5 Casino and Shake the Sky fan pages.

Lucinda Lopez writes, “Mr. CEO: Lots of these games are at the real casino, and some are not. Do you think some of the other High 5 Casino games will eventually hit our local casinos, or are they only for use on Facebook? Like Pasión y Fuego!”

Hi Lucinda, thanks for reaching out. Moving forward, we absolutely plan to release as many of our social games as possible in land-based casinos. We’ve been premiering our most recent games on Facebook because it’s the fastest way to get our games to our loyal players. By debuting our slots on High 5 Casino or Shake the Sky Casino, we’re able to evaluate what our players like, and build large audiences for our titles before they hit land-based casinos. Social games like Stella Drive and the Orb of Chance and Ocean’s Glory have already launched in land-based casinos through Bally Technologies, and other games, like White Lion and Empress of Time, are set to debut in land-based casinos soon, also through Bally Technologies. Pasión y Fuego is actually one of many games from our social apps that are releasing to land-based casinos through Bally Technologies in the future.

Brendan McNees writes, “How long does it take to make a game, from creating the basic concept, art, music, through to actual implementation?”

Hello Brendan, great question. High 5 Games is a comprehensive production company, meaning every aspect of game creation is handled in-house. This allows us to make the best games, because we’re in control of the entire process. First, we work to identify key features that will lead to exciting gameplay, and once we’re happy with the results, we move onto choosing the best theme. From there, we work on the game’s animations, graphics, and music, and then it goes through quality assurance, to make sure it plays flawlessly and is paying back correctly. Throughout the whole process, we’re tinkering with the game in an effort to constantly improve it. Typically, the whole process from start to finish takes six to nine months, and we’re always working on multiple games at one time.

Lu Ferraz writes, “Nice to meet you. I like H5C very much and the graphics are amazing. I’ve never been to Vegas, so I’d like to know are the slots really this way? I hope you bring us more fantastic slots. Hugs from Brazil!”

Hey Lu, thanks for the kind words. One of the things that makes High 5 Games so unique is that our slots are exactly the same, regardless of the platform that you play them on. If you’re playing Dangerous Beauty at High 5 Casino, you can be assured that its gameplay, math models, and art design will be identical at High 5 Casino Mobile, in an online real-money casino, or in a land-based casino. We don’t alter the payouts of our social games using predetermined wins. We’re committed to authenticity, and we know our players appreciate the real gameplay. You always know what you’re getting when you play one of our slots, which is something our competitors choose not to say.

Derek Haley writes, “I love the slots in the casino. I play them often. Cave King, Sirens, Jaguar Princess. Do you have a favorite slot within your company you like the best? If so, please share it with me.”

Hi Derek, glad to hear you love the slots and play them often. It’s always nice to hear from players that are enjoying our games. We have created over 300 different slot games, so there’s a lot to choose from, and I love them all. I love each and every game. We put so much care into creating them, it’s impossible to choose just one.

Sabrina Hawkins Simmons writes, “Why does High 5 Casino not have access for Android phones and tablets?”

Hey Sabrina, good question. I know the availability of an Android app is a concern that is frequently voiced by our social players. I absolutely hear all your requests for an Android app; our community management team does an excellent job of sharing the feedback from our players, and I appreciate our players taking the time to let us know what they think.

I know there are thousands of people on the waiting list for Android. I, like you, am anxiously awaiting an Android release. We do our best on a daily basis to give our developers any support they need, so we can get the app out as soon as humanly possible. We expect to have a very high quality version of the app available when it releases.

Linda Wright writes, “Have you ever thought about starting up real accounts for your players where we can play and win real money?”

Thanks for the question, Linda. Sure, there are already a number of H5G games that are available for online real money play in regulated jurisdictions worldwide. As you may know, the state of New Jersey passed a bill last year that allows online gambling in approved online casinos within the state. CaesarsCasino.com will be High 5 Games’ first online partner in New Jersey. Within the next few weeks, six H5G games will be launching at Caesars’ online casino, and I definitely encourage all of our New Jersey fans to try out their favorite games. We’re excited to have the opportunity to bring our slots to players in new online gaming environments like New Jersey.
