Oliver Twist Slots
Surely most of us know the tale of Oliver Twist? It’s probably one of Charles Dickens most adapted stories, having undergone many transformations since its publication in the 1800s. Although elements change and are made more recognizable to new audiences, the fundamentals remain the same.
Endemol, a brand that is primarily known for TV related content and games, has created its very own take on the story of a poor boy lost in the big, dirty capital that is Victorian London. It has charisma coming out of every pore, and considerable wins to boot, and all for a very small wager. So far, it’s love at first sight.
Please, Sir, Can I Have Some More?
Oh boy, oh boy, do you get more! There’s not just one bonus round, or even two, but several to play your way through, making this one of the biggest online slots we’ve had the pleasure of playing.
To get the ball rolling and begin the epicness that is Oliver Twist, users have to obtain enough of the bonus symbols, disguised as posters. However, not only do they need a set amount, but they must fall on only the first or fifth reel, adding to the challenge of it all.
There are seven mini sections to the bonus game, all triggered by obtaining the right type of poster. Sometimes you’ll find nothing more than free spins, but others will see you playing card games with the Artful Dodger or learning the tricks of the trade from Fagin.
Meet the Cast
Despite the fact that the bonus icon outshines all the others, the rest of the pay table shouldn’t be passed over for being too boring; there are two types of wilds and a bucket load of extra games to be won. And then there’s just the regular money paying tiles on top.
No matter your punt or play through, the logo of the game is the most generous of all the icons available, priced at €500. This figure will remain the same regardless of the cash you bet, which makes this a much fairer title than some of the others playable online.
Fagin and Bulls-Eye Unite
Let’s return to the two wilds. There’s Fagin and Bulls-eye, both of them valuable in their own rights. The Fagin wild will remove other symbols to make way for a winning combination, not to mention it’ll slap on a hefty x5 multiplier to your winnings. To reap the most benefits of this, you’ll need to get the maximum of five of a kind.
As for Bulls-eye and his uber cute, big eyed face, he’ll merely substitute other symbols, which seems so… disappointing after such a promising start. There is a redeeming factor though, what is referred to as the Scoundrel Wild. This is basically a random occurrence where Artful Dodger and his gang run amok on your reels, but it isn’t classed as one of the set wilds, which seems rather odd.
An Old Dog With Its New Tricks
Once you know how to play a slot machine, it’s likely the knowledge will never leave you, much like an old dog that always remembers how to sit and stay. That isn’t to say you can’t learn new things when you play, such as the minimal controls of Oliver Twist; this slot machine really goes for an uncluttered interface.
On the right hand side of the screen there are three options: a currency sign, a spin button, and the auto spins. By clicking the cash sign you can set the bet amount, though there’s no max bet option to make the process easier; thank goodness for a low bet threshold. As for the spin, that should explain itself, and the automatic rounds feature will open up a window filled with various settings.
Forever Part of a Great Story
Oliver Twist is by far one of the most exceptional games we’ve come across for some time. It just has so much to it, and all of it has been beautifully designed and developed to give maximum enjoyment.
