Here's a quick peek at the original Tetris game and the Tetris Super Jackpots slot. When played as a regular slot in the video game Tetris (released in 1991, your player slot moves across the screen like the gamepad in the original game, just like your real life slot did. New Bally Slots allow players with the ability to buy and play Bally and Bally. What makes the Tetris Super Jackpots version special is that the machine shows a real video of the real slot machine (not a copy of the game it's based on).

Your bankroll goes down by 1,000 per move, as you play the bonus game, and the maximum possible bankroll is 4,000; it doesn't allow you to play more than the limit. This means the maximum bankroll on an empty slot won't be 5,000, but this is still much larger than the maximum possible bankroll of 1,000 in real life money games. It's been said that Tetris is "one of the most widely played games in history" though the exact number is a bit of a mystery. Bally Slots, for sure, are some very popular and enjoyable casino games. In the US, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, more than 100 million copies of the game have been sold since release.

That's about one game per second for all times. On average, that means that the game is played approximately 5 million times per second. Online Slots Planet Moolah?

However, if you want to get more information, just go to this Wikipedia page and it will tell you that at its peak, Tetris was played in the US every 30 seconds. You can see on the pictures below that the Tetris Super Jackpots slot will be a smaller machine than usual (only 4 reels instead of 3). The front design of the Tetris Super Jackpots is similar to the classic version, in fact it is an exact copy of that in the video game Tetris (released in 1991). However, the back design on the slot differs to the classic Tetris game (in fact it's actually based on a retro game called Tetris by Richard Carmack).

In the classic game (which is where the Tetris icon/game art was originally drawn from, though later the original idea to re-design it came into mind from the arcade game Tetris from the Atari 2600) the Tetris logo was positioned above the slot, and it's clear from the images below that the back design on the slot is not part of the Tetris Super Jackpots. Another interesting note from the back is the fact that I/O pads are not available, this is likely to make it harder to see out of the slot. If you play this slot with a video gaming monitor, as I did, it's possible to make out the I/O pads (a little blurry, but still!) - simply place the monitor over the slot whilst it's playing, then look away.

One interesting aspect of the Jackpot is that the back-out slot (shown on the left-hand side of the picture) isn't a normal back-out slot, it's a bonus slot.
