How well do you know your friends? This is the question that will soon be answered with the introduction of FriendSlot, a brand new social slot game that reintroduces people to their friend networks in Facebook. FriendSlot https://apps.facebook.com/friendslotgame is an amazing interactive free slot game played using data from a player's Facebook friend network. The game captures profile information of a player's friends including age, gender, Star Sign, location and 'Likes' of a player's friend network and then shows random profiles in a 3 reel 'scatter pay' slot game. Players have 10 spins per game to score as many points as possible depending on how many attributes they share (and then match) with their friend network. And when a player spins a Jackpot Party Hero character their score for that spin will be multiplied. Scores are logged on Leader boards and can be shared between a player's friends on Facebook and Twitter to introduce the game to a wider audience. Even when a player is not playing FriendSlot, they can still get a result. If their profile helps a friend win, then the player will also win credits which are automatically added to their total on the Leader Boards
FriendSlot was created by Jackpot Party, the UK focused online slot games site (for players over 18 years of age) to make the most of the connections between friends in Facebook and reintroduce people to their networks in a fun and engaging way. At the end of each game, summary screens show which friends have won you the most points and what 'Likes' you share. Players can then message friends who have the same hobbies, locations and birthdays. They can also post their scores direct to their own Facebook news feed to share their success. In addition, FriendSlot players in the UK (and over 18) can claim a special 100% Welcome Bonus (up to £200*) by using this link:- http://bit.ly/FriendSlot200Bonus Richard Schwartz, Vice President Online Gaming at WMS said:-"FriendSlot is a great game designed to help friends reconnect with their network on Facebook.
