Review by: KasinoKing
Overview:
The specification for this new Grand Virtual 9-line slot sounded really
exciting! Based on a Pinball Game, Expanding wilds on reels 1 & 5 (normal
wilds on the other reels), Free-spins with more spins for the more triggering
scatters you hit, and a Play Pinball feature, again with bigger prizes for
more scatters - but did it live up to my expectations... No.
The Feature Payouts:
This is where this slot falls down - hitting the features (in my 1000+ spins)
seems MUCH harder than on their old style slots. I would say I hit the
free-spins roughly once every 100 spins, and the Pinball feature about 1 in
150. Every time it was only 3 scatters.
But what do you get for those 3 scatters? Not a lot!
Free-spins:
3 scatters = Total bet x 1 + 3 spins @ x2
4 scatters = Total bet x 3 + 5 spins @ x2
5 scatters = Total bet x 5 + 7 spins @ x2
Pinball feature:
This is really disappointing; The game play is pretty good, but for 3
scatters you start off with just total bet x2 and then get to play Pinball to
try to increase your win to the maximum (which starts as double the minimum).
The longer you keep your ball in play and score points, the higher your prize
until you reach the maximum. But the maximum is terribly low compared to
features on other GV slots and a huge disappointment when triggering the
feature in the first place can take 100's of spins.
3 scatters = Total bet x2 to x4*
4 scatters = Total bet x4 to x8*
5 scatters = Total bet x6 to x12*
* The maximum can be greatly increased if you hit certain targets during the
game.
(I got a x5 bonus once which meant the max was bet x20).
The Graphics:
The slot runs full screen (much bigger than all their old ones), the symbols
are not too bad - they do include the old 10, J, Q, K, A, but these are
incorporated into pinball 'bumpers' and do fit the theme of the slot.
The Payback:
I rate this slot as low variance. I would estimate the return to be similar
to their other slots - probably in the 94-96% range. The problem with a low
variance slot like this where the features are also low variance, is that it
just slowly eats away at your balance with very little opportunity of a large
win to take you back into the black.
Finally, The Really Bad Bits:
This is what really peeved me about this one (in addition to the above):-
1. When I started playing it was set to 8 win-lines, not the maximum 9.
Quite a lot (if not all) of their slots are set like this... why FFS???
2. It only runs in full-screen mode no matter which of the 3 available
options you select. What's the point of having these options when they don't
work properly?
3. I can run most other games on my 4-year old laptop - but not this one. The
graphics don't look that advanced, but it just froze up when I got the
feature. This also happened once on my PC.
4. The wins are only displayed as coins – no option to show as a monetary
value, even though the cost of the spin is displayed in money!
Again - this is the same on all their slots and is very disappointing.
5. It has autoplay! This is the first GV slot to have autoplay, but it is
VERY basic and still leaves a lot to be desired. You can't set it to stop on
a big win, and it also doesn't stop before or after free-spins, or after the
pinball feature.
Overall first impression score: 4/10 – Great concept, but sadly it
appears to be a damp squib.
Not a shadow on their other great slots like Atlantis, Jackhammer Jackpot or Eureka!
Screenshots:
Expanding wilds on reels 1 and 5:-

Ball in play - nearly reached the max...
Hitting free spins will have your balls flying in all directions!
