Moonshine

Head on down to the holler, chow down with the locals and wash it all down with Moonshine – the slot machine game from Microgaming that can be played online, with no download necessary.

Before playing, we're going to go ahead and recommend that you mute the sound on this one. The ambient sound is supposed to be crickets and cicadas, but it's so high-pitched that it's just annoying. And the gameplay sounds are rudimentary at best. So if you mute it all, you can enjoy this game to its fullest.

Icons include a sheriff, an old woman in a rocking chair holding down a double-barreled shotgun, an old man smoking a pipe, green tomatoes, sardines, a pig, a bowl of grits, a pot of shrimp, a pumpkin pie, a hillbilly playing banjo, and the moonshine itself.

The game has five reels and three rows. There are 25 pay lines. Along the sides of the reels are multi-colored buttons for the pay lines, but they're not numbered by pay line; the numbers you'll see are how many coins you're betting per line.

Granny with her shotgun is the wild card. She will substitute for any icon you need to make a win except for the scatter and the bonus.

The Sheriff is the first scatter icon, and more of a cash bonus. Get at least three and he'll pay out a good deal – 2x for three on the board, 25x for four, and 60x for five sheriffs. Moonshine is the other scatter. Three moonshines give you three free spins and a 3x start bonus; four gives you four free spins and a 4x multiplier start bonus; with five, it's five free spins with a 5x start bonus.
