Ladies Nite Slot
If you’re a man, you might feel a little left out by Ladies Nite, the fast-playing 5-reel video slot from Microgaming. Its name suggests men are about as welcome as chauvinists at a hen-do. But while the game has been geared specifically towards female players, guys can also get in on the lipstick-and-cocktail themed action.
Ladies Nite yields a sizeable jackpot of 50,000 coins – providing you bet the maximum number of coins for all 9 paylines, that is. The paylines, incidentally, are non-negotiable: there are 9 and that’s the end of it. The game is an especially good option for gamers operating on a tight budget. The minimum coin value is just 0.01, and considering there’s a free spins bonus in the offing, as well as a multiplier, there are plenty of opportunities to hit winning combinations.
Ladies Nite is available in both mobile and instant-play versions, and can be sampled at an array of leading online casinos.
Easy Stakes
You don’t have to be loaded to enjoy this hen party. As stated, the coin denominations of Ladies Nite start at 0.01. If you want to bet all you’ve got, just click Bet Max to give you the maximum bet for the coin size you’ve selected. There’s also an AutoPlay function, should you wish to sit back and relax while the reels spin of their own accord. The speed of the game is fully adjustable, putting the power in your hands.
Oh, What A Night
There’s no getting around it: Ladies Nite is an entertaining slot. Set in a dance club that’s either glitzy or tacky – depending on your point of view – the reels include symbols such as lipstick, glitter balls, boogieing female revellers, a partially naked male waiter (steady, girls), a girly cocktail, a purse and a bottle of perfume, in addition to the usual coloured playing card symbols, 9 through to Ace.
The graphics, on the whole, are sharp and colourful. The sound effects, meanwhile, give the impression that you’re in a busy nightclub: chattering voices, dance music playing lowly in the background. Truth be told, the rabble is a distraction and we muted the audio almost immediately.
The glitter ball (remember these?) is the game’s wild: it functions as a regular wild, able to stand in for other icons to form winning combinations. Utilise a wild in a successful combo and you’ll also be treated to a 2x multiplier.
One symbol the glitter ball cannot replace is the male waiter, who functions as the game’s scatter. Land three or more scatter symbols at once and you’ll be awarded with 15 free spins. All winning combinations formed during the free spins round also come with a generous 3x multiplier. Moreover, the free spins feature can be re-triggered.
As well as holding the key to free spins, the hunky waiter symbol pays out 500 credits for five-in-a-line. Other high-paying symbols include the dancing female (750 for five, 1,000 for four) and cocktail glass (750 for five, 1,000 for 4). Far and away the game’s highest-paying symbol is the glitter ball wild, though. Five of these orbs will net you a cool 10,000. Imagine the girls’ night out you could enjoy with ten large in the kitty?
Wanna Gamble?
Risk-taking gamers will be pleased to note that unlike many other Microgaming titles, Ladies Nite includes a double-or-nothing gamble bonus game. This is accessible after all winning combinations during base play. If the player chooses to exercise it, they’ll have to guess the colour or suit of a card to win a 2x or 4x multiplier on their current bank balance.
Alas, there are two sides to every coin: guess wrong and you can kiss your loot goodbye. You can guess correctly up to five times in a row before the function becomes unavailable. Essentially this is a less grave form of Russian Roulette. But hey, it certainly adds an element of spice to the game.
One For The Ladies
It’s refreshing to see a software platform release with a game aimed at a female demographic. An abundance of slot titles are targeted at men, so this break from tradition is welcome. As for the game itself, it’s everything one could hope for. With a range of free spin bonuses and multipliers, the latter attached to both scatters and wilds, gamers can have a lot of fun during their wild night on the tiles.
