Well, here's a fantastic video slot game from Microgaming especially to celebrate the Winter Olympics starting this month (February 2010) in Vancouver. Enjoy the thrill of the twists and turns of the reels in this engaging game full of pictures depicting the bobsleigh track and ski runs amongst other sports that feature in the Winter Games.

Winter Gold has 5 reels and 15 pay lines. The major attraction on the reels is the Scattered MEDAL - 3 or more of these will get you through to the BONUS WHEEL feature, and if you're lucky enough for 5 medals to appear across the reels you'll also get a cool 400x your total bet. 5 WINTER GOLD logos will give you the top jackpot of 5000x your line bet and this symbol is also WILD, substituting for all other symbols except the medal.

In the Bonus Wheel feature, you see a wheel that is split into 8 segments. Each segment depicts a SPORT, a PRIZE IN COINS or an award of FREE SPINS. Spin the wheel and the segment that lands on the arrow decides the next step towards your claim for a prize. A 'coins' segment will bring you winnings of up to a whopping 18000 coins. A 'free spins' segment will get you up to 20 free spins. There are 4 'sport' segments, which will each take you to a different feature:

Bobsleigh: ride the track, racing against a target time, the faster you are, the bigger your prize.

Ski jumping: select a skier and win a prize according to the distance he jumps.

Biathlon:pick one of 5 targets in the rifle section to reveal your prize.

Speed skating: choose your racer and win a prize according to his skill on the track.

This is a really cool and fun game for the really cold and not so fun weather for many of us at this time of year. If the thought of the Winter Olympics gets your blood pumping, then you'll love this game - go have a few spins, and see which sports you get to compete in, in the Bonus Wheel feature.
