Around the World is a new (Jun05) 5 reel slot machine with a massive 20 paylines. It has a cute theme loosely based about landmarks across the world. This makes for some nice looking graphics such as The Eiffel tower in Paris and Big Ben clock in London.

Even with 20 paylines, there is a top jackpot of 30000 coins! This is huge! There are in total 31 winning combinations, so the hit rate on this slot machine is quite high.

Around the World also has a nice low minimum bet at 0.01 coins, and this means that players of all budgets will get a chance to play this wonderful slot machine. When you hit a winning line, the animations of the symbols are a treat to see.

Hit 3 or more of the scatter symbols and you'll also play the bonus game. This by far one of the most entertaining bonus games around. You have to fly the hot air balloon by moving the mouse up and down. Whilst flying you have to collect the treasure boxes and avoid the vultures. Hitting a vulture sends you off course. You have up to 20 treasure boxes to collect before the bonus game ends.

Overall, I throughly enjoyed this slot game and experienced a high hit rate. When I managed to get to the bonus game, I was more than pleasently surprised, I loved it! Try this game out if you like 5 reel slots, it's a winner!
