Saturday Night Live slots!

The Saturday night live slot games came out a few years ago with a lot of press and hype. In Atlantic City, it seemed that the Borgota had almost an exclusive on many of the games. I did see the 3 reel traditional games in other Atlantic city casinos, but i can't remember the 9 line and 15 line video slot SNL games being anywhere but at the Borgota. i did play the several versions of the games and they were really just so so. After the novelty of hearing the church lady catch phrases as supplied by Dana Carvey, it meant having the base game and bonus rounds left to get you interested. Well, the base game seemed to have a really "special" low payback and hit frequency that made getting to the bonus rounds very rare and very costly. I never won much on the base games and always seemed to chase the bonus rounds by putting in way too much that i would never get back even with a decent bonus. These were what I would call the old school bonus rounds where you would get a set amount depending on your initial credits bet, but do not expect a miniscule or a megabonus round as it always feel in the safe but ultimately boring range. 2 stars

When the NBC studio announcer first intoned the now familiar phrase, "Live from New York - It's Saturday Night!" nearly 30 years ago, little did anyone know that a major cultural icon was being born. Since that first broadcast from NBC's venerable Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center on Oct. 11, 1975, the groundbreaking late-night television show with the quirky, hip and irreverent attitude has become a social phenomenon, winning 17 Emmy Awards and the prestigious Peabody Award for broadcast excellence. "SNL" as it is commonly known, has also been inducted into the Television Hall of Fame.

Watched by millions across the country and around the world, SNL continues to garner the highest ratings of any light-night TV program, placing seventh on "Entertainment Weekly's" list of 100 top entertainers in the past 50 years. From such now-familiar catch phrases as "Never mind," "Well, isn't that special," "That's the ticket" and "Consume mass quantities" to its zany cast of memorable characters, like Emily Litella, the Church Lady, Ed Grimley, Father Guido Sarducci, Roseanne Rosannadanna, the Blues Brothers, Hans & Franz and The Liar - to name but a few - SNL continues to maintain its global monopoly on hilarity. No wonder the New York Times calls the show "a national institution."

Now, Bally Gaming and Systems, a leading manufacturer and distributor of advanced gaming devices worldwide, proudly introduces a new series of hysterically funny reel-spinning and video slots based on this remarkable, breakthrough television show.

All SATURDAYNIGHTLIVE games can be linked to a quick-hitting progressive with a starting value of $10,000.
SNL - Church Lady (15-line version)

The new Church Lady EVO VIDEO offers a variety of heavenly rewards with two hilarious interactive second-screen bonus features.

“Canned Ham” Bonus Round
Three Canned Ham bonus feature symbols appearing in any position on reels two, three and four trigger the Canned Ham bonus. Players touch the screen to choose from three “dancing” canned hams, revealing a bonus award.

“Church Chat” Bonus Round
Three adjacent “Church Chat” symbols from left to right on an active payline award the three-tiered Church Chat bonus feature. A stained-glass church window appears on the screen and the player is prompted to select from a row of multi-colored diamond-shaped tiles. The selected tile reveals a bonus value, a “Satan” symbol, portrayed by the “devilish” Jon Lovitz, that removes all remaining diamond shaped tiles in that color from play or an “angel” symbol that awards the sum of the remaining bonus values in that color. Diamond-shaped tiles are selected until all colors have either been revealed or removed from play. In the second level of this three-tiered bonus, the player selects one of five circular-shaped tiles. If a “Satan” symbol is revealed, the player receives a 2X bonus multiplier. If a “clover” is revealed, the player selects one of three clover-shaped tiles from the stained-glass window for the final bonus multiplier that ranges from 3X to 10X.
