First Past The Post is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot machine that offers 3 Wild and 1 Scatter opportunities as well as the very popular Australian-style free spin awards with a multiplier. Microgaming has released First Past The Post in the beginning of September 2008 with another video slot - Sir Winsalot, 20-line slot machine with free spin and pick-a-prize bonus features.

Stylish and lively graphics of the slot machine provide the backdrop, featuring well known images of the sport together with the horses, champagne and trophies. 3 Equine symbols across the reels act as Wild substitutes to form winning combinations and the chance of winning the Trophy which is the Scatter symbol here. First Past The Post has 3 wild symbols - 3 types of horses substitute all other symbols except the scatter; and 3 or more Horses scattered anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 will activate the bonus round.

With coins from $0.01 up to $0.10, you can bet up to 500 coins or up to $50 per spin. For the most frequent wins we recommend betting on all 25 lines with the coin size you are comfortable with. The maximum jackpot in the base game can reach 5,000 coins, just hit 5 Woman symbols on active payline. With the help of free spins you can win up to 40,000 credits (400,000 coins) in this exciting game. Other symbols that compose winning combos include: Champagne, Tote Board, Betting Ticket, and traditional Ace to Nine symbols.

First Past The Post Bonus Feature
Win up to 30 free spins at a 4x multiplier in the bonus game. 3 Horse symbols scattered anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 will activate the First Past The Post bonus feature game where you must predict the outcome of a horse race for a cash prize. Choose one of the three horses that you think will win the race. Depending on the outcome of the further race, you can win one of the following prizes:
- If your horse finishes first, you win 30 free spins with all prizes quadrupled (x4).
- If your horse finishes second, you win 20 free spins with x3 multiplier.
- If your horse finishes third, you win 15 free spins with x2 multiplier.

If three Horse symbols are scattered anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 during a bonus free spin, you win the same number of free spins, at the same multiplier as won in the horse race. The extra free spins are added to the remaining number of free spins. When the bonus feature game is complete, you are automatically returned to the base slot game and your bonus wins are added to your win total.

Gamble Feature
The Gamble bonus game is enabled on any win on the paylines. If you guess the card color correctly you win will be doubled. A correct guess for the card suit quadruples (x4) your win. You can also lose you win if you guess incorrectly but this is an optional feature that can boost your winnings.
