We are.
Why? WHY? Because this ‘Win Spin’ stuff isn’t a gimmick. It usually brings with it some genuinely good video slots from Play’n GO.
The Pimped game started it all, giving you a 5,000 times your bet top prize back in February of this year.
Then, only last month, came what is no doubt a new favourite of ours, the outrageous Royal Masquerade slot machine, with it’s 1 million jackpot. That’s an in-game jackpot prize by the way, not progressive.
That’s 10 thousand times your bet max win.
So next time we tell you to get excited about something, maybe you should listen to us, instead of being cynical slot players who think they’ve seen it all.
Right. Back to this Spin Party slot launching on the 6th of August 2015.
Can it be as good as it’s predecessors?
What can we expect from Spin Party?
We’ve got some basic information to tantalise you with before the general release of this mobile and online slot.
Vera&John have the whole selection, and 14 other software to boot.
We would like to clarify that we haven’t actually played this Spin Party slot game yet. All we have is some tidbits of information the gentle folk from Play’n GO have been good enough to give us.
This is not the slot game review by any means, simply a couple of people making wild speculations based on rumours and hearsay.
And perhaps some actual facts, because Play’n GO are nice people who are very proud of the work their game developers are doing. Don’t worry, we don’t actually just make this shit up.
1. Play’n GO are going old school
Lucky sevens, bells, bars, lemons and cherries, this doesn’t feel like a Play’n GO slot game at all. Because it’s a bit… boring, right?
Come on! We got bouncing bosoms in Royal Masquerade, and a skeletal army in the Tower Quest slot. And now, just a fruit machine with generic high card symbols?
Then again, we said the same thing when NetEnt released Twin Spin, and that’s turned out to be one of the most popular games of 2013/2014.
And a personal favourite.
So, clearly old school can, and does, work. Usually if you have some decent wins to back up a classic style slot.
Talking of which…
2. Win up to 5,000 times your bet
Ok, so it’s not as high as Royal Masquerade (did we mentioned we really liked that game? Yes? Ok. Fine. Last time we mention it, we promise).
But it’s still pretty damn huge. Bigger than most video slots we play regularly, so certainly worth noting.
Plus realistically, Royal… that slot we shall no longer name… was always going to be the oddity.
NetEnt only have one Dead or Alive slot; most of the rest of their collection tends to be a little more tame.
Still, 5,000 times your bet isn’t exactly tame. It’s like comparing riding the bulls of Pamplona, with riding the wild bisons of the African plane.
One might feel safer because it’s a tradition, but either way, you’ve still got a whole load of horns and hoofs to take you down swinging if you don’t know what you are doing.
3. Good wins doesn’t always mean a good game
Not to be a massive cynic, but there’s plenty of mobile video slots out there that promise ‘a trillion million coins’, but in order to win you then have to sacrifice a goat, to the god Cthulhu, at midnight, on a blood moon.
Or something along those lines, give or take a symbol or two.
So, whilst it’s always going to be difficult to get that top win, it should feel like the big wins are still within reach, you know? It’s part thrill of the chase, part getting the occasional satisfying big win to know you’re not wasting your time.
Only time will tell if Spin Party has decent game play.
4. Keeping things simple with their “Win Spin”
We do know that the wild symbol is a silhouette of a go-go girl. Because, party, summer, clubs… something.
Guts is a great Play’n GO casino with 4 deposit bonus offers to get you started.
Anyway, they show up on reel 2, 3 and 4 and will expand to cover the whole reel. You then get one free re-spin.
If you get two or more wilds, you get up to 5 Win Spin – where on each spin you are guaranteed a win.
The wilds remain sticky for three spins, and if you get two again, you re-trigger another 5 Win Spins, up to a maximum of 20.
20 spins where on each spin you are guaranteed a win. Sure, mostly it will be 3 of a kind wins, but trust us from playing this feature, that getting a decent five of a kind is not impossible… especially as you get expanded wilds over 3 reels.
What do we think overall? Worth getting excited about?
Our instinct is to say yes, but only because we’ve had such a good experience with the Win Spins slots.
But then, part of the charm of the other two was the funky beats, the great theme, the wonderful animations, the anticipation of hitting the free spins.
Will this Spin Party theme leave us feeling a little cold because the theme is a little old? The gameplay a little simple? Will the wins be as impressive as we heard along the grapevine?
We will certainly know for sure by the 6th of August.
Till then, you know there’s one Play’n GO slot machine you’ve been dying to play whilst reading this. It rhymes with “Loyal Hand-Grenade” and you can get a huge £1,000 / $€700 bonus at Leo Vegas to help you make the most of this very volatile slot.
All in preparation for the new Spin Party slot of course.
