How To Play Van Gogh Mobile Slot
Time to lay back, drink some cheap merlot and appreciate the beautiful swirling French countryside in this very unusual Van Gogh slot.
If you were to tell us to come up with 10 ideas for video slot game themes… the art of crazy expressionist painter Van Gogh wouldn’t even be in our top 50.
Yet… Yet… It kind works. So well done Relax Gaming for coming up with a beautiful theme that truly surprised us. Because even if you are not an art lover, you would have probably heard of or seen enough of Van Gogh’s paintings to appreciate the unique style.
Is it too chilled out for a casino slot game?
What do we mean by ‘too chilled out’? Well, it’s not just the art, that makes this Vang Gogh mobile slot a chilled out affair. It’s the classical music. It’s the barely there crescendo when you get a big win of 20x your bet or more.
And we did get some impressive features, especially when the wilds are painted onto the screen mid-spin and you wonder if you’ll get 2 or 9 wild symbols pop up.
Yet, at no point was our heart racing with joy or excitement, other than that one time we got 50x our bet… and that’s because we got 50 times our bet.
What we are saying is that if you are going to have a low variance slot machine, you need to make us feel more excited when the little wins come.
The Van Gogh slot free spins also divided us
And that’s the problem. This online slot based on a historical feature just kept dividing us.
Like, take the free spin bonus for example. We love that you can collect extra features during your base game spins which can lead to up to 15 free spins, with a 7x multiplier, no low paying wilds and 5 sticky wilds on screen at all times! Doesn’t that sound exciting?
Sure it does. But mostly you get maybe 4 or 5 free spins, with a 2x multiplier and (if you are lucky) one wild or one of the low paying symbols removed. Again no drama.
In short, there are moments of greatness in this Van Gogh slot online, but much like the famed painter, we’re not sure this mobile video slot will be appreciated by its generation.
