H5C’s Year of the Dog Contest Winners!

This year, to celebrate the Chinese New Year, animal lovers around the world were encouraged to enter H5C’s Year of the Dog Contest!

On February 12th, we invited players to share a picture or a story about their pet! Players submitted photos and stories about their dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles! Animals sure do hold a special place in your hearts and we are touched you shared such special memories with us!

We enjoyed sorting through each and every entry learning about your pets! The photos we got to see, make us feel like we were a part of your family! Although we can’t share each entry with you, you can see what some of your fellow High 5-ers had to say below:

This heart- shaped pose says everything about our feelings as Lana joins us in her new forever home! she came to us through our local shelter when her first family could no longer keep her and stole our hearts immediately!

Frank is my 5 year old PUG, ,born Jan 23 2013.. Frank is our ” Door Greeter”, always with a bone in his mouth ,waiting for you to ask if you can have it. With a mumbled growl, he just walks off as if to say” Yeah right” . Frank is well known in H5 chat. The new Pug game that was recently released, fast became known as ” The Frank Game”. He is very entertaining, full of energy and well behaved. Its difficult to choose just 1 photo for this contest, as I have 100’s

Employee Spotlight- Johan L.

h5c_employeespotlight_johan_blogpostDid you know High 5 Games not only produces online casino slot games but we produce land based casino slot games as well?

Meet Johan L. Sr. Production Artist who leads one of High 5 Games most brilliant teams in producing the illustrations for our amazing land based slot cabinets such as: Miss Universe: Crowning Moment, Valkyrie Queen, Maggie and the Martians and so much more!


1. How long have you been working with High 5 Games?
I have been working with High 5 Games for 7 years now. I was around the 35th employee, and a few years later, the company grew up to 300!

2. Please tell us what you do, as Sr. Production Artist for High 5 Games?
I mainly do illustration work for land based games in our post production team. But I can do a little bit of animation as well. Production Artists are mixed with Art and technical skills so we can do a little bit of code editing as well.

3. Name the game you are most proud of working on for High 5 Casino and tell us why it’s your favorite and what inspired you?
Our team doesn’t really work on High 5 Casino, but one of my favorite games I worked on for land was Miss Universe: Crowning Moment. Doing the top screen was fun and colorful and I got to meet Miss Universe! On a side note, there is a game my team is working currently for mobile, look out for MAGIC MACAW!

4. How long does it take to create and complete the animations and illustrations for a game? Can you tell us what goes into it?
Once a game is bought by our land based client, ideally we have around 2 to 3 months to do the final illustrations, animations, prototyping and packaging.

5. If you could be a High 5 Casino game character who would you like to be? Why?
Probably the male character from Love U, because I’m nerdy and awkward, and I love science! I love watching videos of Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson

6. What is the hardest part when creating the animation and illustrations for a new game?
The hardest part for is always the concept sketches and color. But once that’s finalized, the details are easy.

7. What is your favorite animation to create?
I don’t specialize in animation, but once in a while I get to do simple ones like sparkles and text wiggling!

8. How did you get involved in animation and illustration?
During high school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study but all I knew is I loved art class. So my art teacher suggested School of Visual Arts, and that’s where I studied illustration and I loved it!

9. If you weren’t an artist, what other profession would you have chosen?
A few years after graduating college, I stumbled into my 5th grade year book and underneath my photo we were asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?” and I wrote Engineer. Guess that was my original plan and I just forgot. Haha!

10. As Sr. Production Artist, what is your favorite part of your job?
Doing art is the obvious answer, but having the privilege to work with friendly, kind, and fun group of people is my favorite part. My commute is 2 hours each way which is torture, but once I get to work, I realize how fun my job is.

Valentine’s Day at High 5 Casino

LobbyH5C2.2_Wall_Post_ValentinesAtH5c
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means different things for different people. If you’ve got a special someone, the only way they’ll know you love them is through consumer goods purchased on a corporate holiday, so be sure to splurge on the $82 dollar quintuple-tiered box of chocolates, four dozen red roses, and an $11 Hallmark card with live doves that fly out when your partner opens it. If you’re flying solo this V-Day, you should still snag that $82 dollar quintuple-tiered box of chocolates, because it’s good to love yourself. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we got to thinking about which High 5 Casino characters should couple up:

A Night of Mystery and Foxy Dynamite

The detective from A Night of Mystery and Foxy D may be operating in different time periods, but they still have a good deal in common. Most importantly, they’re both excellent detectives, so if they met they’d have a lot to chat about. Plus, both sides would have to be faithful, because you can’t get anything by either one of these people.

Wellspring and Valkyrie Queen

It’s probably hard for the Valkyrie Queen to find someone who sticks around, what with her being an immortal goddess and all. Which is why the explorer from Wellspring is perfect for her – he’d just keep refueling at the Fountain of Youth, and the pair could go out until he got so sick of her he chose to die.

When he’s not slicing into rich women who want smaller noses, Dr. Amante likes the finer things in life. The vacationing woman from Aegean Sunset certainly likes the finer things in life, too. They’d probably get together after she comes in for a totally unnecessary consultation.

Jaguar Princess and Shadow of the Panther

These two weirdos deserve each other. I imagine neither one is much of a talker, but if they could get past the awkwardness of the first few dates they’d make a perfect pair.

Royal Lion and Sapphire Tiger

Actually, these two already coupled up: where do you think Liger Loot came from?

Whether you’re single or taken, be sure to spin at High 5 Casino this weekend!

Cool Casino of the Month: Golden Nugget Las Vegas

Cool-Casino-of-the-Month_2
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.

High 5 Fight Club

We often ask our players over on the High 5 Casino fan page to comment on different game vs. game matchups. Today I’ll be offering my thoughts on two showdowns between four different High 5 Casino slots; take the polls below and let us know what you think!

Retropolis_VS_Golden-Odysseypsd
Retropolis vs. Golden Odyssey

Would you rather travel to the future in Retropolis or to the past in Golden Odyssey?

I love history, especially anything involving the ancient Greeks, so I initially thought I’d rather travel back in time and embark on a Golden Odyssey. But then I thought about it some more, and remembered that – in addition to being a history buff – I’m a lazy bum. And an impatient one, at that. I’m unfortunately not cut out for a long aquatic voyage; even if I got to see some crazy things occasionally, there’d still be long periods of intense boredom. If I nearly lose my mind on a fifteen-minute subway ride, there’s no way I’m surviving for months on the open seas. The lazy, impatient bum in me is much better suited to Retropolis and the future, where I can jetpack around from place to place as a robot cleans my room.

EDGE: Retropolis

Dangerous-Beauty-vs-Valkyrie-Queen
Dangerous Beauty vs. Valkyrie Queen

Who would win in a fight between the Dangerous Beauty and the Valkyrie Queen?

This is a battle between two seriously dangerous ladies who are both trained in hand-to-hand combat, so you know you’d be in for a treat if they went head to head. I think it would be extremely close, but I’m going with Dangerous Beauty just based on the weapon she’s bringing to the table. I think she’d be able to keep the Valkyrie Queen and her hammer at bay with her sword, but if the VQ got in close, then it’d be a totally different story…

EDGE: Dangerous Beauty
