Online gaming software providers create a niche for some of their slots games by providing something unique in their theme or features. To add value they offer a few slots grouped together that share the uniqueness. These features are not available even in the other common slot games from the same software provider.

There is no better way to explain this concept than through an example. And one of the best examples is the Sneak A Peak series from Microgaming. The Sneak A Peak series has two online slots titled Doctor Doctor and Hunky Heroes. The name suggests that the theme is of a risqué nature, which is true. Doctor Doctor is about five sexy medics in a hospital and to make sure that the genders are evenly represented Hunky Heroes is about five equally sexy male professionals. The bonus game in both Sneak A Peak slot games involves a stripper scenario, but is executed in a manner that retains the charm without offending sensibilities. The payouts and the structure of both slot games are identical.

The characters in Doctor Doctor are Nadia the neurosurgeon, Michelle the doctor, Ruby the matron, Nikki the nurse and Sam the ambulance driver. Each offers payouts according to the specified table in the normal manner. The other symbols on the reels are hospital items like stethoscope, thermometer and medicine. The Doctor Doctor Logo is the wild symbol. The free spins round is called Select a Smooch. Three kiss symbols on the first three reels in an active payline trigger the free spins. Players have to select one of the kiss symbols to jump start the feature with up to 7 free spins at a 3x multiplier. During the free spins a blue pill on reel 5 adds to the multiplier and a yellow pill on reel 4 adds to the free spins.

Hunky Heroes features Roger the pilot, Wade the seaman, Duncan the policeman, Patrick the fireman and Brad the life guard. The other symbols are the head gear that these professionals wear. The Hunky Heroes Logo is the wild symbol. The free spins round is called Select a Package, which is triggered though the jocks symbol. During the free spins a pink handkerchief on reel 5 adds to the multiplier and a yellow handkerchief on reel 4 adds to the free spins. Otherwise the free spins feature functions in the same manner.

The Sneak A Peek bonus in both slots games is the defining feature. When the Sneak A Peak Logo lands on any position in reel 1, the corresponding position on reel 5 is reserved. If a hunky hero or sexy medic lands on that position then the bonus game gets activated. The second screen features that character next to a 3 x 5 matrix that hides items of clothing worn by the character. Players have to reveal the clothing items by clicking on the cells. When players match three identical items, that item is removed from the image of the character. The cells conceal four sets of items and three boobies. As soon as players reveal three boobies the game ends. The payout is based on the number of items of clothing removed.

Microgaming has just announced the upcoming release of a third slot game in the Sneak A Peak series. It is called Planet Exotica and is set in a galactic strip bar. Planet Exotica will rekindle interest in the earlier two slot games.
