Club 3000 Slot Machine
Arriving in a very similar vein to its predecessor Club 2000, Club 3000 takes the original ethos so remarkably present in the former title and seeks to build upon it in as constructive and exciting manner as possible.
If any developer is up to this high task, it’s surely Simbat Entertainment Systems. Fewer groups have such a proven track record and creating something captivating and unique out of a tired or otherwise overused concept, so it is with a great deal of optimism that everyone – well at least everyone who enjoyed the last title – should seek to approach this title.
How Does It Work?
As was the case with this game’s predecessor, Club 3000 is played in two different formats – a classic, or Base game and a Top game. The basic version is played across 3 different reels with just a single credit bet. Things tick along as usual in this lower tier, with the ultimate goal being to accumulate as many credits as possible in order to later put them to use in the more expensive, yet much more lucrative, Top game.
A criss-cross winning combo of Club/Club/Club will result in a mystery prize being awarded within the basic game and when a player has won 4 or more credits the Top game will be triggered and players transported to its ethereal heights to put their winnings to-date on the line in the hope of bagging some bigger prizes!
The top game is home to a total of 4 win banks and can only be played with a minimum of 5 credit per spins. At this price, it is rather expensive, but a good run of luck in the bottom game should easily set you up with enough cash to have a fairly good run at this level. Each time you stake on the game from the win banks, a total of one credit will be removed from each bank as well as one from your overall balance. This helps to keep things on the up and up and is an extremely helpful addition to the game for any player who struggles to keep their eye on the prize when it comes to numbers.
When, or rather if, your bankroll reaches a total of 200 credits, all credits cashable are instantly returned to your casino balance. In this instance, the action of pulling back Club credits into the balance can ensure the dip in play isn’t too long. To do this simply tap the ‘Reset/Collect’ button.
How Does It Look?
To any player that is familiar with this game’s predecessor, or for that matter any game which was conceived and brought into the world by the Simbat Entertainment Systems team, the appearance of Club 3000 will come as very little surprise. It is distinctive, well designed, levelled and very well aware of itself.
Players will find no difficulty in finding their way around the console given the bold graphics and clear indicators/buttons scattered around the place.
With both reels an effective amount of space apart, the slot has the look of a classic looking physical pokie or machine. This will probably overjoy the majority of players deliberately seeking this game out, as with many of Simbat’s releases they always stick to their guns as far as tasteful, minimalistic and throwback design is concerned.
Symbols, Triggers & Final Thoughts
True to the game’s own era-specific style, the graphics and symbol icons that are on offer here are about as old school as they come. Juxtaposing the always cool fruit and vegetable symbols with some more modern bold text samples, the game carries itself very well – both as a unique enterprise and as a game with something new to offer players.
The Club 3000 slot is the ideal follow on from Club 2000 – which is all you can really expect really! There’s plenty on show here in order for the game to retain a definite and unbroken association with its predecessor, and enough that’s fresh about it to ensure that it’s a sequel worth deliver/(more importantly) worth the time of you guys – the valued players!
For anyone who enjoyed the first title, or indeed has an affinity with the Simbat Entertainment Systems family and back catalogue (a delightful one it is!) then a spin on this game is an absolute no-brainer. For anyone else, you’re still likely to find a great deal to get excited about here, so why not give it a try? After all, that’s what this business is all about!
