Reel Spinner

Vacation season is in front of us, and Microgaming decided to dedicate their newest slot to all of those who would like to spend their holidays out on the open see, with nothing but a fishing rod, some fish bate, and probably a case or two of beer.

Unfortunately, not everybody will have the opportunity to enjoy their vacations in such a manner, but do not worry – judging by the quality of graphics and the soundtrack in the teaser released on You Tube, we have no doubt that fishermen who had to stay on dry land will have a chance to truly experience the charms of fishing and land some big catch with the newest Microgaming title.

Best thing is that with Microgaming you do not need to make up stories about the catch of your life as other fishermen do, because with Reel Spinner slot good things come to those who bait.

Developer

Microgaming, the company with headquarters in Douglas, Isle of Man, is the proud owner of the first online casino established back in 1994, which stayed at the helm of the online gambling industry for more than two decades, as one of the leading providers of gambling products, with more than 850 casino games.

In Microgaming the stress is on quantity, since they tend to release new slots every month, which is why some say that the actual quality of the games is somewhat lesser than in products of other leading developers, but thanks to lucrative additional features and neat gameplay, Microgaming still manages to stay on top.

How to Play it

The most important information for those who hate playing cards icons in slots as much as we do is that Microgaming did not use a single playing card in their newest title, but populated the reels with all sorts of fishes and necessary fishing equipment such as compasses, boat engine control levers, fishing reels, etc.

The value of the symbols still remains a mystery. Truth being told, we do not have much information about the rules of the game either, but as far as we know, the 2016 release is a five-reel slot with 15 fixed paylines.

As in other Microgaming product, the coin denomination and the number of coins per line will probably be adjustable. Concerning Autoplay, we expect up to 100 or so available automatic spins.

Special Features

We do know that the Swordfish will have two important roles in Bonus round. First, the Swordfish is a Scatter crucial for triggering the Bonus round that consists of two parts.

When gamers manage to land three Swordfish Scatters anywhere on the reels, the first part of the Bonus round will start in which there will be 6 different boats to choose from, that can award you with 5-20 free spins. After that, in the second round, you take the fishing rod and spin the reel for a multiplier that can go up to x5 times the initial bet.

Once you get the number of free spins and the multiplier, be prepared for some hefty payouts, because Swordfish is also a Stacked Wild that will appear on the reels as often as possible during this feature, making room for some capital catch.

Maximum Payouts

As mentioned earlier, we still do not know the actual value of the symbols in the base game, so we cannot tell you the specific bate you need to use in order to lure the biggest fish onto your hook, but something tells us that the Swordfish is the one to be after in this slot.

The latest information released is that the maximum amount of money fishermen could hope for in Reel Spinner is $112,500, which is a rather big figure, even for those made up stories experienced fishermen used to tell their younger colleagues.

Summary

The 2016 release will allow all those fish-a-holics to keep their hands on the rod from the safety of their chairs starting from July. Developers from Microgaming are not known for topnotch graphics and exceptional soundtrack, but at the first glance, both graphics and soundtrack in this game seem quite decent.

The Bonus feature will offer some respectable number of free spins and multipliers, but those who think that they will feel a jerk after every spin are terribly wrong, since sometimes, you can spend an entire day fishing without a single catch.

If you are not prepared for that, maybe you should try a different sport. As the old fishermen saying goes – If you can’t fish with the big boys, keep your ass on the dock.
