Many different types of slots games exist. However, they share one commonality: symbols spin (or drop) from top to bottom. Slots with the “gravity” mechanic, on the other hand, feature an entirely new concept. Icons roll right or left under certain circumstances and fall into gaps (as if being pulled down by gravity). Developed by ELK Studios, the gravity engine is quite new to online gaming. That said, I’m going to cover more on this mechanic, its high points, and its low points. Basics of the Gravity Engine A gravity slot looks unusual from the get-go. It doesn’t feature traditional…

 June 25, 2020 Players may not want to hear this, but the Nevada Gaming Control Board now says Las Vegas face masks must be worn at games that do not separate players with plexiglass. The order comes down as Nevada has seen an explosion of new Coronavirus cases, and it adds to the existing health and safety policies for all relevant venues. It is no longer a matter of choice for guests given the proved effectiveness of masks. While everyone has their own personal reason for not wanting to comply, for casinos it is a mandated law.
