Given that I really had been playing the slot machines, whenever and wherever I could for more years than I cared to remember, I did not really think I could get any surprises. I mean, surely once you have played one slot machine or video slot, you have played them all. And really how good and exciting could video slots be on a mobile phone? How would the fun and excitement of a game like that be captured on such a small mobile screen?
Well, I sure was in for a treat with Downtown Video Slots. There is quite a lot of money to be made (even though it is virtual) with Downtown Video Slots too. And having the ability to play it on the move frees up my time so I feel like I am having fun but without wasting time. For a start, Downtown Video Slots is not just one game; players get to choose from 6 different themes and cool icons so there is no chance of getting bored. You decide how many coins or paylines to choose from and what kind of profits you want to aim for; the higher the stakes, the higher the risks, but that is what makes Downtown Video Slots so much fun. If you are into rodeos you can choose the Rodeo Fever theme. You can also choose your level ? by selecting either quick game or career modes and when you play the game you actually feel like you are in a real casino. There is a lot more going on with Downtown Video Slots, including bonuses, jackpot rewards.
In terms of the actual game, with Quick Game you will be given one of any 5 machines (these are selected randomly) but with Career Mode, you get to choose one of the 5 machines. In terms of paylines, you press the left cursor or 4 to add lines and right or 6 to add coins for the next spin. And then you spin the reels. Check the payout table by pressing the # key. The advantage of quick game is the instant access to one of the 5 video slots beginning with $1,000 bankroll.
Career mode is slightly different as you begin with $1,000 and choose your machine. You have free access to the lobby and can select different machines as you wish. If you want to get to the real treasure, you need to increase your bankroll to $150,00 and then you will be able to access the 6th and final mystery machine. You have to hit the jackpot reward symbol on all 6 machines to win the game.

Make Lemonade From Lemons
I have always loved the phrase that if life serves you lemons, make lemonade. Well, now I am playing lemonade with Lemonade Tycoon, the fun mobile game I purchased on line for a mere $1.99. That must have been my first wise business move; all that great excitement for such a small price!I have played a few business simulation games in the past and they have never quite been my thing but somehow the graphics on this demo really attracted me to the game. I remember growing up with lemonade stands near our house during the hot summer days and maybe Lemonade Tycoon held some nostalgia for me. I was not sure what it was exactly but I guess it was a combination of a lot of great things going on, that made me want to purchase and play Lemonade Tycoon.Lemonade Tycoon lets you really get a feel for what (if any) entrepreneurial skills you have and if you could make it in the real business world. The idea is that you have a small business venture (the lemonade stand) and you have to see if you can develop it in to a big business. You want to choose where to put your stand (consider weather conditions); what specific recipe you want to use for your lemonade to make it the tastiest; what prices you are going to charge and how to manage your inventory. Although it may only be a lemonade stand, all of these aspects are the crucial basics of running a business, large or small.If you do make correct and wise business decisions playing Lemonade Tycoon you get more in the game, like being able to buy a larger refrigerator and moving to a higher traffic location (for more customers to buy your lemonade). With realistic simulations and lots of different customers with fun personalities, Lemonade Tycoon is a fun game to play on the mobile to get you thinking about if you might be the next Donald Trump!
