The Year In Slots: Our Bottom Ten (3 of 4)

5: Orient Express: May or may not have been drawn by an employee’s kid on Take Your Child to Work Day. Overall, there is very little to appreciate about this game. Zero replay value, no graphic appeal, and an overall flop on the all-important area of player appeal. There’s not really much to say here, other than acknowledge that this was obviously a second-rate effort.

4: Farming Fortunes: Holy cow! (And pig, and duck, and ram.) While a seven-reel game might have sounded really cool on paper, the final product here should have been enough to convince game designers that sometimes, too much of a good thing is just too much. There is WAY too much going on here, let alone with the leering caricatures of farm animals staring you down expectantly. The seven-reel concept just looks very cluttered and busy, and the graphics in this game were lacking to the point of almost-total abomination. There may be a reason why almost all online slots top out at just five reels!

3: Silver Kiss: This is a slot game aiming for titillation, which in reality is just ridiculous. Line up images of pixilated hotties to take a shot at a progressive jackpot, and get them to take their clothes off. There is too much high-quality, free adult material on the glorious World Wide Web to waste your time and money trying to strip models who look like they walked straight out of 1993. Slotland is capable of much better than this. We also disliked the t-shaped 2x2 reel configuration.
