Cool Casino of the Month: Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City

Posted on January 9, 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.

If you’re a slot lover on the east coast, consider a trip to Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City the next time you have time to spare and some money burning a hole in your pocket. There you’ll find over 2,000 hotel rooms to go along with more than 120,000 square feet of gaming space, which translates to over 3,000 slot machines – including plenty of slots from High 5 Games – and 135 table games. In between bouts of gambling, you can visit The Quarter, a shopping mall located in the complex, or head out to enjoy Atlantic City’s boardwalk and beach. Party people can hit up one of Tropicana’s bars or clubs once the sun sets, while those looking for a more relaxing evening can enjoy one of the Trop’s 11 restaurants, then take in a show at its 2,000-seat showroom, comedy club, or IMAX theater. No matter your mood or inclination, there’s something fun for you to get into here.

Fans of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire have even more incentive to visit Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City: Mickey Duffy, the inspiration for Boardwalk’s incredibly annoying Mickey Doyle, was murdered at The Ambassador Hotel (which later became the Trop) as he slept in 1931. Morbid but true.

If you’re anywhere in New Jersey, you can spin H5G slots for real money from your laptop, tablet, or phone through www.tropicanacasino.com. Tropicana’s online casino features 16 top-notch H5G games like Double Da Vinci Diamonds, The Amulet and the Charm, Golden Knight, Shadow of the Panther, and Dangerous Beauty.

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.

H5C BBQ

Posted on July 8, 2014 by bobbyhigh5

We here at High 5 Games hope that all of our players had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday; I spent Monday in a haze brought on by an excess of beer and burgers that has only recently lifted. All of the grilling and schmoozing and fireworks over the weekend got me thinking which High 5 Casino characters would be fun to have at a barbecue. Here’s what I came up with:

Golden Knight

The Golden Knight definitely knows his way around a grill. He could probably even go out and track down some more food if need be. Plus, you know with that sword of his he’ll totally be in charge of carving and serving food. Anyone who tries to pick from his plate should expect a nasty punishment, though…

Jazz

We all know that good music is a big part of any successful shindig. What could be better than the musicians from Jazz providing the tunes for your backyard barbecue?

The Empress Josephine

This is sort of selfish reasoning, but if you invite The Empress Josephine you know you’re getting some absurd present from her. She’ll bring you a goblet made of rubies or something while everyone else is drinking out of plastic cups. You could pawn that goblet and then throw a barbecue every weekend for the rest of your life!

Empress of Time

Bad parties seem like they never end, while good parties always end way too soon. If you invite the Empress of Time to your barbecue, you know you can either run it back if you’re having a good time or fast forward to the end if you’re bored and your creepy uncle won’t stop talking to you.

Slot Fundamentals: Scatter Bucks

Posted on May 23, 2014 by bobbyhigh5

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

On a typical slot game, as the reels stop spinning and the symbols settle you can usually tell if you’ve scored a win via paylines or ways. If the symbols don’t match up properly, you’re basically out of luck. High 5 Games is not content to just make typical slots, though, which is why the company invented Scatter Bucks, a feature that can lead to big wins even on spins when the reels don’t align. But how exactly do Scatter Bucks work?

Scatter Bucks are activated by placing a side bet in addition to betting on paylines. With Scatter Bucks, some wild symbols will also display random credit values – anywhere from 10x to 5,000x the bet multiplier! Land these symbols and the winnings will automatically be awarded to you. It’s that simple. Look for Scatter Bucks in High 5 Casino games like The Amulet and the Charm and Golden Knight, and Shake the Sky Casino games like Golden Peony.

We hope you found that helpful! Which slot fundamental would you like to see us explain in the future?

High 5 Games Help Desk

Posted on April 28, 2014 by bobbyhigh5

Every couple of weeks Elaine, High 5 Blog’s CRM correspondent, will stop by to discuss ways to optimize your High 5 Casino and/or Shake the Sky experience.

Hey High 5-ers! It’s been a while, I’ve missed you guys! This week, I want to give you some pointers on betting and payouts for High 5 Casino.

1. Make sure you’re aware of your line bet

If you read High 5 Blog, you’re familiar with how paylines work, and you know that if you’re not betting all the paylines, you haven’t maximized your ability to win. Unfortunately, players will sometimes accidentally lower the number of lines they are playing without realizing it. Then, they’ll hit what looks like a big win only to discover that they weren’t playing the necessary lines. To avoid this type of frustration and confusion, make sure you’re aware of the number of lines you’re betting at all times.

2. Make sure you have Scatter Bucks activated

In addition to a line bet, some games give you the option to wager a side bet to activate special features, like Scatter Bucks. In Scatter Bucks games, like Golden Knight and The Amulet and the Charm, you must bet all the lines, plus the additional side bet, for the chance to see Scatter Bucks on your reels. If you do not do this, you may get very frustrated, as you miss your opportunity for big Scatter Bucks wins.

3. Watch the zeros

Some of our players have experienced confusion with the zeros when adjusting their bets. We’ve heard from players who believed they were betting $400.00 a spin, only to realize after a few spins that they were actually betting $40,000.00! To avoid a horrible surprise like that, we suggest you double check your bet before you spin or put your game on autoplay, to make sure that you aren’t accidentally betting 100x more than you intended!

With these pointers in mind, you should feel more prepared to bet wisely. And remember, if you have any questions about your bet, or your payouts, you can always email us at support@h5g.com, or comment here and I’ll be happy to cover it next time. In the meantime, good luck and happy spinning!
