About The Slot
You’ll find not one, but two sets of tumbling reels stacked on top of each other. Each reel is made up of 3x5 configuration and 20 paylines; so together, there are 40 paylines in all. Betting is fixed at 40 paylines, so you’ll have maximum chances of winning in every single spin.

Bets start at 40p to £30, so well suited to casual players. Despite playing so many paylines at the same time, the minimum bet is still under 50p. The theoretical return to player (RTP) is 93.41 – 95.29%. For beginners, a game’s RTP represents the long-term expected payback of the game; on average, the game machine pays out £95.29 out of every £100 wagered on the game. The game’s payout odds aren’t the best around – you can find games at 97% RTP – but they are fair.

The game is definitely on the higher end of the variance scale. Things can get slightly quiet at times, but the action goes through the roof whenever you hit a winning combination or extra spins bonus. It’s the kind of game that keeps you on your toes.

Game Features: Win Multipliers, Extra Spins!
Let’s talk about the game’s main feature: the Tumbling Reels. Winning symbol combinations disappear and new symbols literally “tumble” down from above. It’s like a free re-spin, as you get another chance of winning for the cost of the same spin. These tumbling reels can, technically, lead to a nice string of cumulative wins. I’d say that you’d win something extra at least once in every two encounters with these tumbling reels.

Since there are two reels, the symbols can even Tumble Thru! The symbols from the top reels can tumble down into the bottom reels. This feature really stands out when you get a winning combination on only the bottom reel. Symbols on both reels are forced to shake up its arrangement, giving you a whole new chance for winning.

In Extra Paylines Extra Spins Bonus, you’ll get six extra spins, during which 20 extra paylines are activated. The extra paylines criss-cross across the top and bottom reels; you could say that the two games have combined into one giant slot machine! In total, you’d be playing with 60 paylines at a time. Well, buckle up and prepare yourself for lots of Tumbling Reels action! This feature is triggered whenever you get three bonus symbols on a payline.

With two reels, Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play is takes up a lot of space on your screen. In fact, if you’re playing on a mobile device, you can only play it in portrait mode. All of that space is filled up with replicas of the titular artist’s famous paintings. I could only recognize the Mona Lisa, but there’s also his self portrait and …

Aside from art pieces, you’ll also find sparkly gems and jewels that are fit for a wealthy Medici. After all, Da Vinci lived during the Renaissance times, a truly glorious and fortuitous time in Italy’s history. Sadly, IGT had not revamped the graphics since the original Da Vinci Diamonds, so it’s got quite a dated look about it.

Unique Features
When I first encountered the game, my only thought was: “What’s the point?” It’s definitely a novel idea, but I couldn’t think of why players would want to play two reels at once. It’s not as if players were playing slots on two devices at the same time! After a good test drive, I discovered that the Dual Play concept enables a much faster game pace. Fast-paced games eventually mean much more addictive gaming sessions.

My brain immediately went into overdrive – I just needed to hit spin faster, collect wins faster and just strive towards doubling my casino balance. And that’s the magical slots trance, really! It’s this trance that keep players coming back to this delightful game. Da Vinci Diamonds Double Play has only made the entire experience more intense.

About The Slot
Emerald Isle is made up of 20 optional paylines. Bets start as low as 1p per payline and can go up to 5 pounds. This game caters for all players with any bankroll size and risk appetite. I played this game on a day I felt particularly broke. I only had few quid in my casino account, yet Emerald Isle gave me ten good minutes of escape. Talk about stretching your dollar!

Emerald Isle’s reels are decked out with the typical Irish symbols, including a clover, a rainbow, a Gaelic princess, a leprechaun and a pot of gold. Here are the few symbols that you should look out for:

• The leprechaun is the wild symbol that substitutes any symbol in the game to complete winning combinations.
• The rainbow is the scatter symbol that gives away free games. You’ll get 10 extra spins if three or more rainbows line up on a single payline. The best part of all? All wins during the free games are tripled!
• The rainbow scatter also offers bonus coins when two or more of them appear on the reels. You can get two extra coins when there are two scatter symbols and 100 if you land five of them.
• The Irish princess with curly red hair offers the highest rewards – 1,500 times your wager whenever five of them appear on the reels.

I’d say that Emerald Isle is a fairly non-volatile slot. The wins are nice and consistent, if not a little small. The game pays players in small amounts over small hands. It won’t give you major jolts of adrenaline as other blockbuster titles would (if it’s random big spins are what you’re after, you may want to check out this feisty slot, Siberian Storm).

However, that’s not to say that Emerald Isle is boring. This slot distills the very magic of slot machines – it captures you in a soothing trance, one that’ll have you playing for hours. The game works by perfectly balancing reward and frustration. High volatility slots can frustrate some players because the rewards are less frequent, but low volatility slots are very easy to play.

Unfortunately, Emerald Isle is rendered in that awful cartoony style carried by many slots all over the Internet. The game is painted in bright colours and twinkly sparkles, similar to Dora the Explorer and your kid’s cartoons. When refreshing the game, NextGen didn’t bother to give a full makeover for the game’s looks. Even though the artwork is refreshed, they still seem to have been drawn using computing software from the early to mid-2000s.

I am quite the slot snob and prefer beautiful slots! (Have you seen slots by NetEnt? All of their new slots are masterpieces! Check out Theme Park: Tickets of Fortune.) As for music, there’s are Irish tunes playing in the background throughout the game. A joyful Irish jig comes on whenever the Leprechaun wild is activated; the Leprechaun will even dance along!

Finally, Emerald Isle meets the industry’s bar for reliability. I’ve played it on both my mobile and laptop. The game’s controls are as they should be. There are simple arrows to configure the number of paylines you want to play as well as your bet level. If you’d like to play hands free, you should definitely go for the Autoplay option. It’s very flexible and allows you to stop the game whenever you win or hit a bonus game.

Game Features: Treasure Chest Bonus Game, Extra Spins!
As one of the Internet’s first online slots, Emerald Isle is a simple slot with not much in the way of features. There’s the Treasure Chest bonus round, which is unlocked if the Leprechaun appears on both reels one and five at the same time. It’s a match-two game. The game kicks off with a wooden grid filled with six treasure chests. You’ll click on them to reveal what’s inside; and match chests with the same amount of cash within them. Find three matching symbols and you’ll move up to level two, with more multipliers when you get matching symbols. Get another three and advance to level three. The feature game ends when you fail to make a match.

Without a doubt, the next feature that Emerald Isle sports in the Extra Spins. To trigger this feature, you will need three scatter symbols anywhere on your reels. Once you have gotten those, you will be awarded 10 extra spins to play with. Good thing is that your chances of winning cash prizes during the extra spins are tripled! I guess the leprechaun has decided to be a bit more generous with the extra spins…

Refreshed Features all over
It’s quite refreshing to play simple slot games, especially in a time when modern slot developers try to pack as many features as they can in each slot. Emerald Isle is extremely slim in comparison. There’s a wild symbol, some extra spins and a simple bonus round. Despite that, the game moves at a nice quick pace, so you’ll never get bored. More importantly, I can easily play Emerald Isle for half an hour, as the game really sets me up in a nice little zone.

This simplicity reminds me of how all the bells and whistles on the slot – the music, fancy animation, mini games, innovative new features and the rest of the gang – is only distraction to keep you hitting spin. If a slot is properly configured, even the most basic of features can hold your attention and entertain.

However, the one thing that Emerald Isle does not succeed at is having players come back for the second time. The game is a touch too simple and that gets a little boring. There are many, many other slots vying for your attention and as players, why shouldn’t you have a taste of everything there is on offer?

About The Slot
As Super Flip is all about being retro, you’re playing on a classic design of a 5x3 reel layout, with 20 paylines. You can start playing this game for as little as 20p a spin, or if you’re feeling lucky, the maximum bet is £100.

The slot has a low volatility, which means payouts come quick and regularly. However, the main feature that will keep your bank balance in check is how often extra spins or re-spins can be triggered. We’ll talk more about this later, but these bonus features do add a lot to your experience and give you a chance at creating a huge win. How huge? 10,000x your wager! True to form, Play’N Go have created a game which gives players excitement and regular action, making boredom a rare event when playing Super Flip.

How Does This Mobile Slot Perform?
The game is clean, bold but excellently animated. Whilst in screenshots the game could seem dull, it comes to life as you play. It features symbols such as stars, four leaf clovers and card suits – all the things you’d expect to see on a classic one armed bandit. The difference, however, is that Play’N Go have managed to make them feel modern. It is, however, very easy to compare this slot to Starburst or Twin Spin. This is because the graphics are very similar. So similar in fact, we could be fooled into thinking it was a NetEnt slot. In no way is that a bad thing, but if you’re looking for a more original game you may want to play something else.

In general the slot performs flawlessly. It’s quick to load on all devices and the minimalist design means it looks just as great on mobile as it does on desktop. Like it’s graphics, the music to the slot is fun and upbeat, and the sound effects help to make the game special. Big wins are celebrated by blasts of yellow light, which add to the sense of occasion.

Game Features: Extra Spins
The extra spins in Super Flip are arguably the best thing about the game. They’re activated if you collect three or more Super Flip logo symbols anywhere on the reels. You’ll be rewarded with 15 extra spins to start with, however they can be re-triggered up to 90 times! During the extra spins rounds the reels are flipped – meaning that reel five becomes reel one etc. This allows you to create some big wins as high value symbols will now appear stacked across the first three reels.

In addition, every time you activate the extra spins round, you’ll be rewarded with scatter multiplier. This is based on how many scatter symbols were collected in the main game, so three would give you a 2x multiplier, four symbols rewards you with a 40x win and five scatters gives you a 250x multiplier.

Near Win Respin
In an innovative move to capture their players attention, Play’N Go have added a Near Win Respin feature to Super Flip. It’s triggered automatically if you come across a stack of the same symbols on reels one and two. As you’ve the very nearly created a win, reel three will re-spin to give you another chance.

It’s a feature that’s activated quite regularly and can produce some very lucrative results. It’s a bonus feature that keeps you on your toes and it’s very useful for topping up your balance whilst you’re waiting for another extra spins session.

About The Slot
Set in a dense jungle with the occasional sightings or historical ruins, Big Blox mobile slot sports a 5x3 reel layout (not really, but we will get onto that a little later) with an embedded 243 ways to win. You can start playing this game from 25p, and if you are feeling a bit serious about taking the big bucks home or if you are just feeling lucky, you can bet up to £100 per spin.

Here comes the best part of the game: Its payout frequency. To compensate for the lack of bonus features in this game, or shall we say just one bonus feature in this game, Yggdrasil has decided to make the payout like crazy. In a more conventional slot game, it would be difficult to maintain your bank balance unless you are lucky enough to trigger the extra spins or bonus game or as such.

In Big Blox however, you don’t need any of those to maintain your bank balance. It just pays, pays, pays and pays. Believe it or not, every out of two or three spins resulted in a win. These wins aren’t small either. The payout range is pretty wide, most of the time in the 2x to 10x range.

Honestly, there is no aspect in this game that we could pin point that had a flaw or a bug. Everything worked perfectly as it should, even on relatively older devices. We initially thought that the sophisticated animations may take a toll on our Samsung Galaxy S3, but fortunately we were wrong. The graphics and animations are crystal clear and crisp, whilst the sound track that accompanies your gameplay is spot on.

It becomes extra lively when you win money and at other times it succeeds in making you feel more adventurous. But hey, isn’t that what Big Blox mobile slot is all about? This game is playable across all devices and platforms, namely the iOS, Android and on PC.

Yggdrasil has always been the powerhouse known for creativity and breaking the rules of the conventional ways of slots. Every time they release a brand new title of their own, we already know we are going to have a blast playing it. With Big Blox mobile slot, nothing has changed. Yggdrasil has once again took the unconventional path and gave us a slot with a unique feature. They took away the extra spins, the bonus mini games and everything else, but gave us something more entertaining – the blocks feature.

Why do we say so? Simple. It’s because the Big Blocks feature does nothing but catapults your winning frequencies and winning payouts to the stratosphere. If just winning wasn’t good enough for you, Yggdrasil has also thrown in the potential of all of us winning up to 3,900 times our bet? Even if your bet was a mere £2, multiply that by 3,900 and it will be equivalent of winning a decent lotto draw…

Game Feature: Big Block!
Just like the other Yggdrasil games that never fail to amuse us, Big Blox is another one-of-a-kind when it comes to its bonus features. Well, literally, it is one of kind, as it only has one bonus feature: The Big Block Feature. As the name suggests, this feature is activated when a number of symbols form into a block and turn into a single one symbol that takes anything from a 2x2 layouts to a 5x3 layout. With this feature, completing winning paylines will be exponentially easier, resulting in high payout amounts.

Big Blox — Loads of Wilds
Aside from that you have the standard Wild Symbols, and what they do is that they replace all other symbols to complete winning paylines. This Wild symbol comes in the form of a Mayan ruin, so keep a look out for it. Combined with the Big Block feature, just getting one Wild symbol can prove to be extremely profitable. Look at it this way, big block feature combines more than two symbols into one big one. Getting a Wild symbol within the block is just going to make it rain money!

About The Slot
Tokidoki Lucky Town mobile slot features a five reel layout with an embedded 40 paylines. As you start playing this game you will be greeted with a short animation on what you can expect playing this game, and brief snapshots of the features you will find in this game. At first you may find the colours and the cartoons a bit too over whelming, but as stay we can assure you that it will grow on you (it definitely did on us). The theme is made to be fun, childish and colourful and as you may have guessed from the characters, inspired by Japanese anime and mangas.

The Return to Player (RTP) rate in this game is a decent 96.2%, making it a medium – low risk game. Fear not if you stop winning any more for a bit, Tokidoki usually compensates by giving you big wins every now and then. In our opinion, this game is catered more towards players whom are after the big cash, the enthusiast.

You can play this game from anything between 60p and a staggering £600. The 60p minimum bet may come across as a tad too much for casual players who just want to give the game a few spins, but we do think that for the level of experience that Tokidoki offers, 60p is really not too much.

We can confidently say that IGT has nailed every aspect in this game to perfection. While the theme itself may not be everybody’s cup of tea, the gameplay and every feature in this game works flawlessly. The Japanese theme that it carries shines exceptionally well with the stunning design of all the graphics in this game.

Just for bragging rights, IGT has included loads of animations and cut scenes in this game. While this may sound amazing, if not optimized properly, more often than not these animations/graphics heavy games usually take a toll on older devices. That is when players start encountering lags and delays during gameplay. Fortunately and very surprisingly, we encountered none of that. It ran smoothly on all devices across various platforms, namely on Android, iOS and on PC.

The aspect that separates this game from its peers are the Japanese manga elements that has been incorporated into TokiDoki by IGT, and guess what, they totally steal the limelight in this game. We ourselves are nowhere close to being an anime or a manga fan, but fact is, we had an absolute blast playing this game because of its super fun theme. IGT has designed everything in this game down to the details.

On top of all that, the Reel Reveal feature by itself is an amazing feat. We particularly enjoyed its two-step trigger where you triggered it first and then activated one of five of its bonus features. Not only it is profitable, the second part of the feature does add an element of suspense to the game with the five different bonus symbols.

Game Features: Stacked Wilds, Win Multipliers!
This is where Japanese perfection comes into play. IGT has pretty much gone full text book with the features in this game; you will not be finding anything ground breaking here, but every feature here is executed to perfection. First up, we have the stacked wilds and the win multipliers. The wild symbols come in the form of the crossbones, so do keep a lookout for them.

What you really want to know is that these wild symbols come with a 2X multiplier with them as standard. As mediocre as it sounds, look at this way, in reality, you will actually be winning twice the amount every time you get a wild… and it’s not even difficult to get one. As per usual, these wild symbols replaces every other symbol in the game to complete winning paylines.

Tokidoki Lucky Town — Reel Reveal
We saved the best for last, and in TokiDoki Lucky Town mobile slot, it is the Reel Reveal feature. To trigger this feature, you will need an arrow symbol anywhere on your reels. Once this feature is triggered, your reels will be shifted to left, introducing new symbols on the far right on your reel and giving you a re-spin. In the re-spin, depending on which bonus symbol that you unlock, you will trigger one of five mini bonus games. The list of games and its respective features are as follows:

• Character Wild Symbol – Converts all similar character symbols into Wilds
• Caramella Symbol – Randomly replaces normal symbols with Wilds anywhere on your reels
• Moofia Milk Symbol – Interactive mini game rewarding up to a 10X multiplier on your winnings
• Pogo Symbol – Converts two adjacent reels on the left into expanded wilds
• Truffle Symbol – Awards you with win multipliers of up to 15X on your total winnings

Here comes the best part, you can re-trigger the Reel Reveal feature even when you are already playing it. If you are lucky enough to get the arrow symbols again anywhere on your reels, the reels shift to the left again, giving you two reels from which you can get the five special symbols to activate bonus features. Theoretically, you can be playing TokiDoki with special features all the time, provided that you are lucky enough!
