Reel Spinner Pokie Review
The Reel Spinner video pokie uses a sports theme inspired by fishing. It takes you to open waters where you can catch some huge wins. The reels are populated with symbols depicted as various fish species, compasses, fishing reels and engine control levers while the title of the game is a pun referring to spinning a fishing reel and the reels of the pokie machine.
That is a witty part of the story inspired by one of the most popular activities practiced by millions of people around the world. The visuals are decent with introducing video featuring boats going towards the open seas and you can see the deep sea in the backdrop of the reels too.
The visuals are fulfilled with a soundtrack resembling those usually heard in action movies which adds the excitement to the gameplay.
Developer
The gaming company responsible for the release of the Reel Spinner online video pokie is Microgaming and the game runs on the Quickfire platforms. When it comes to online pokies, Microgaming is by far the most experienced and the most prolific software developer in the world with hundreds of titles released since 1990s.
The smooth gameplay, rewarding features and nice payouts can be expected from their titles which compensate for the downside of the games in terms of graphics as they provide decent but not very sophisticated visuals.
How To Play It
The game due to be released in July 2016 is played at five reels and 15 fixed paylines. It uses a typical Microgaming interface letting you adjust the bet value by choosing the number of coins you want to wager per line and the coin denomination. You may press the spin button to launch the game or opt for automatic spins and just watch your reels spin.
The entire screen is populated with theme-related symbols like sea fish species and fishing equipment with no playing cards symbols in sight which contributes to the rather simple appearance of the pokie machine serving well to the theme.
Try to hook at least three identical items in succession on a payline and catch a big win in this exciting and action-packed video pokie from Microgaming.
Special Features
Catch three or more Scatters depicted as swordfish to trigger the two stage free spins feature which awards you with a variable number of free games and up to 5x multipliers. As soon as you trigger the feature you will be offered to pick from six boats and when you do so, the number of free games will be revealed.
You can be rewarded with at least 5 and up to 20 free spins. The next step is to to spin the fishing reel and reveal the multiplier which will be applied to all your winnings during the feature.
During the feature you will also get stacked Wilds represented as the game logo which will help you create as many winning combinations as possible by replacing regular symbols. The free spins feature cannot be retriggered.
Maximum Payouts
Throughout the game you can win as high as $112,500, so look for swordfish which is your key to the bonus features such as free spins, multipliers and Wilds which can cover your reels and help you win huge payouts.
So far, we have no information on the individual payouts the symbols deliver or the top fixed jackpot.
Summary
If you are into fishing you will surely enjoy the upcoming video pokie from Microgaming offering many opportunities of winning. From what we have seen, it seems as if the game would provide you with a lot of fun and excitement on the colourful reels populated with quite plain symbols which are closely related to the sports theme of the game.
Male players will surely enjoy sailing to the high sees in search for a big catch. The theme is not unique and it has been used by many other games, but we hope that its bonus features will make the Reel Spinner pokie machine worth playing.
However, we have to be patient untill July to check out if everything works as the trailer advertises.
