Grand Virtual

Note: No USA players allowed at any Grand Virtual casino.

Introduction:

Every slots player should have a go on Grand Virtual slots - even if just in 'fun mode'…. They are just totally

(and Good)

different to anything else you've ever seen! They may well have 5 reels & multiple pay-lines like most other

online slots, but that's where the similarity ends. These are the key features which make them so unique:-

The reels don’t actually ‘spin’ – instead a ‘curtain’ covers each position which is revealed in a semi-random order.

(New slots released after May 2008 now have 'spinning' reels)

The symbols pay anywhere on the win line, not just right to left, or left to right.

Some scatter symbols in view double the regular payouts, and are accumulative (1 scatter = x2, 2 = x4, 3 = x8…etc)

The scatters are also wild symbols on some slots.

Unlike most other softwares, the more scatters you get the bigger the prizes (MUCH bigger!)

The Atlantis slot has FOUR different bonus features! (And the most amazing graphics you've ever seen!)

Like with Video Poker, betting max coins and lines dramatically increases the multiplier of the top payout.

You can switch between real money play & fun mode without even exiting the game, let alone the casino!

Your last 3 or 4 win amounts remain visible in the info window.

On Game Show during the free-spins, Wilds are held for 2 spins - we have never seen this unique feature anywhere else!

(Now also on new slots, Olympians and Jackhammer Jackpot)

Not so Good:

No autoplay - this is the only improvement we would like to see added to these wonderfully funky slots!

Additional Information

Update! New slot 'Pinball' does have a very basic auto-play. Hopefully more will follow…

Pay-out rating:

5; Frequently profitable, 4; Good chance of a big hit, 3; Average, 2; Big wins very rare, 1; A money vacuu

Note:

Above ratings based on our personal experience only, some based on very limited game-play -
