Spin or Reels Slot Machine

Despite the plethora of modern flashy video slots out there on the market today, from the big movie inspired slot games to the many Marvel comic based machines there is still a huge desire out there amongst players for decent classic image based slot machines.

Even companies like iSoftbet, known for crazy modern games like Cloud Tales aren’t immune to needing to provide for all areas of the market and as a result, we end up with games like Spin or Reels which is the epitome of the age old fruit machine genre.

With 5 reels and 20 active pay-lines to play on, you get more than the average fruity in terms of ways to play, you also get a selectable coin value and level and for those seeking the big wins, there is a progressive jackpot on offer, combine that with a very high volatility level and this could be very interesting.

Theme

Ok it’s a classic fruit machine, so there is no overboard emphasis on game theme here at all, that doesn’t mean that there is no effort at all here far from it. You might say actually that given the simply nature of fruit machine slots it is actually even harder to make them really stand out from each other, it takes a combination of a simple attractive interface and great gameplay.

On this title iSoftBet have gone to great lengths to make sure all areas are satisfied, clearly taking que’s from the benchmark game in this genre, IGT’s Triple Diamond, they have started with a very open, clear, and simple to use game screen which essentially replicates the layout of a physical slot machine in a land casino.

Using a machine format allows the pay-table to always be displayed above the reels, and given that this title offers 20 pay-lines, more than most games in this field, that’s a worthy thing to have, it also means the bonus wheel of fortune can be displayed on the reels as well, no diverted bonus rounds, everything in its place and with function.

The graphics aren’t awe inspiring and neither is the music, but they are modern enough and well produced not to feel chintzy or out of date and players of these games aren’t here for dramatics.

Gameplay & Features

Whilst you can’t adjust the number of pay-lines in play you can set both the coin value and then choose from one of 5 bet levels to play with, this gives you a min bet of 0.20 credits and a max of 100.00, any bet of 60 credits or more is rewarded with extra spins on the bonus wheel should you engage it.

It’s the spin or reels bonus wheel which gives the game both its name and its bonus round, by lining up 3 or more of the game logo scatters you get between 1-3 spins of the wheel as well as an instant credit prize, if you line up all five you drop the games progressive jackpot so this symbol is doubly valuable.

The bonus round is, like any fruit machine bonus, simple, offering you an instant credit prize between 0.05 and 100k credits per spin, note the huge second number, even if you miss out on the games big progressive jackpot you can still win huge amounts of cash in the bonus round alone.

Summary

Bars, Bells, Fruits and Sevens have been the mainstay and the roots of slot gaming for many years and they aren’t going away any time soon, games like this keep the old theme alive and well for the next generation of gamers and old timers alike to enjoy.

The big draw of Spin or Reels is its variance, whilst it may not be appealing to hobby players, those huge one off prizes will definitely excite high rollers who ache for a little old school slot game action.
