See the latest Microgaming slot releases in action in our Demo Games page

Wouldn't it be great to be able to try a handful of spins out on a brand-new slot release, every time that a new game hit casinos?

Now while some introductory offers at casinos offer players the chance of some free or bonus spins, or at least some bonus cash which they can use for much cheaper spins, finding deals once you are a customer that offer you free games, especially on new releases, is almost impossible.

There is a good reason for this. If casinos did offer players free spins on new slots, then the sheer amount of free spins the casino would have to offer given the number of players at a casino and the number of new game releases that there are, would mean that the casino would end up going broke in double-quick time.

So if you can't play a game yourself to see what it is like for real money, what is the next best thing? Well for many players, it is the opportunity to play a game for free using a demonstration mode and the good news for fans at MegaMoolah.com is that the site now offers an extensive range of games from Microgaming that are free to play in demonstration mode, direct from the site.

Accessing the games could not be easier, simply point your browser to www.megamoolah.com/demos and you will load up the page which contains a lengthy list of games that you can play for free in demo mode.

What games can I find on the Megamoolah.com demo page?

The demo page at the megamoolah.com site has only been in existence for a relatively short time compared to the rest of the site, so at the moment it is the most recently released games that we have demos available to play.

Why is playing demo versions of the game useful?

There are a number of good reasons as to why playing a demo version of a game can be useful for players. The first of these is that by playing a demo version of a game, you give yourself an idea of how the slot game works, what its main features are and how they all link together to create the game as a whole.

You can also see for yourself how often wins are landed in a game and whether the slot actually appeals to you as a player. As you know, some slot games are very different to others and some 'slots' are actually nothing like a real slot game. In this list the likes of Super Showball, The Incredible Balloon Machine and the Fortress Charge games are great examples of slot games that are not your traditional format slot.

By playing these games, you can then judge whether you want to risk your own money playing the game or not, without any added risk to your funds and this is the biggest benefit of playing demo versions of the game.

Is there anything I should be aware of playing demo versions of slots?

The key thing to remember with demo versions of games is that in a small number of cases, typically progressive jackpot slot games, the actual demo version of the game may play very differently to the real version of the game.

For standard slot games, the demo version is identical to real cash play and there is no difference between the two types of games, other than on one you are playing for real money and on the other, you are playing for pretend cash.

However, in a demo like the one for the Wowpot progressive slot Wheel of Wishes, the demo has been optimised to show you some of the main features of the slot, typically the Power Spin mode and also how to trigger the Jackpot Bonus Game. As such, in the demo, it is relatively easy to trigger these bonus features. In the real game though, it is much more difficult to trigger the Jackpot Bonus Game.

As such, it is generally a good idea to view demo play as a chance to see what the slot has to offer and how the game works, and not a genuine representation of how the slot will actually play when you play for real money, even if the demo and the real game are essentially the same.

Other uses for the Megamoolah.com demo page

The demo page on MegaMoolah.com is also useful when you are reading about one of the new game releases in our review pages. Sure, you can harvest a lot of information from a written review of a slot game (and we strongly advise you to do that before playing) but it also helps to take those words and then see how they work for yourself by playing a demo version of the game.

When you pair that up with the video page that is also available on the site and on the Mega Moolah official YouTube channel, which shows short previews of many of the modern new slots, all played for real money (no demo play here!), you get literally as much information as you can possibly have on a slot game before you try.

The demo page can also be useful for seeing how certain features on slot games work as you can spin the slot for as long as you want, at no cost, until you trigger the feature you want to see it in action. This is particularly useful on games which have somewhat unusual bonus features that players may not have encountered before.

Lastly, demo play is a good option if you have already spent your cash allowance for slot, or you do not want to spend any of your money on a game, but just want to see how it works. The downside is of course that you won't win any cash if you land a win, but the positive side is that you can play for as long as you like and your bank balance will not be affected in any way.

What happens when my demo balance reaches zero?

If you have never played a demo version of a slot game before then what happens is when you load up the game, you will have a pretend cash balance placed in your demo account to play on that slot. That can be a large amount, or it can be a smaller amount and of course, as you play your demo spins, that balance will go down and increase with every non-winning and winning spin you land.

If you exhaust your demo funds, then all you need to do is reload the slot back up by reloading the page and you will receive an entirely new pile of demo cash to play with on the slot once again.

The demo game page is a great way to try before you play for real any of the newly released Microgaming slots, so keep your eyes peeled for the new releases that will be added to the 50+ games already on the site over the coming weeks and months and remember, with demo play, you do not risk a single penny of your own cash.
