Mr. Moneymaker Slots
While some slots disguise their intrinsic purpose under the guise of collecting rainbows, popping balloons or evading pirates, others are more upfront. Mr. Moneymaker is under no such illusions; this is a game that’s all about the bling and the billions, and the gaudier the better.
If conspicuous consumption and watching documentaries about the rich kids of Instagram are your idea of entertainment, Mr. Moneymaker will be your kind of slot. WorldMatch have pulled out all the stops to come up with a game that Gordon Gekko himself would be proud of.
Greed Is Good
Making your money in Mr. Moneymaker calls for spinning 5 reels and scoring winning combinations on the paylines. You likely assumed that much already; what should be more of interest is familiarising yourself with the winning combos required to clean up. If you want it all – the car, the house, the yacht and the supermodel – you’ve first gotta dip into your own pocket and put some money on the line. Speculate to accumulate, as they say, and in Mr. Moneymaker there’s a whole lot worth accumulating.
The reels are overlaid against a stucco and red tile mansion, its steel gates thrust open to welcome the limo as it glides along the drive. This is your pad, your crib, your des res, or at least it will be once you’ve won enough wonga to pay for it.
While diamonds shimmer and wads of dough beckon invitingly, an upwardly mobile soundtrack approximates the sound of success. This is music to make millions to. Before we delve into the details of how you’re going to achieve that, let’s take a glance at the control panel before hitting the spin button.
More Money Than Sense
The game features 20 paylines in all and you can activate all 20 if you’re feeling flush. Alternatively, activate a lower number and pray that one of them strikes gold. The bet level can be set at anywhere from 0.1 to 2.0, with a dedicated Max Bet button supplied for convenience. There’s also an autoplay option and the ability to mute the music but not the sound effects. In a hurry? Click and hold on the start arrow for a second to activate fast play.
Spin the reels and you immediately get a taste for the lifestyle and lucre that Mr. Moneymaker has to offer. The lower value symbols – J, K, Q, A – aren’t the prettiest ever rendered, but the themed symbols are more alluring. There’s a luxury gold watch that resembles a Rolex, a wad of US bills and credit cards, a black-capped chauffeur and a diamond ring that serves as the bonus symbol.
There are also two lovely ladies craving your affection, a blonde and a brunette. Five brunette symbols in a line are worth 300, while the corresponding number for her counterpart scores 500, proving that blondes do have more fun.
Living the Jetset Life
The three symbols that will provide your passport to the good life are free spin, wild and bonus. The free spins symbol, a Lear jet, is activated by clicking the Free Spin button on the toolbar after notching 3 or more symbols. 3 symbols will score 15 free spins, 4 will score 30 and 5 will score a whopping 60 spins.
Activating the bonus game calls for landing 3 diamond rings anywhere on the reels, whereupon it’s simply a case of clicking the Bonus Game button on the toolbar to start.
Finally, wild is played by a fly-looking playboy with slicked back hair and designer shades. Wild substitutes for any symbol except for bonus and free spin.
Mr. Moneymaker behaves just like every other WorldMatch 5-reel slot, but that isn’t a bad thing. If you’ve previously played any of the company’s video slots, you’ll have a very good idea of what’s in store, from the collection of free spins to the role that wild plays. With its clean design and highly detailed graphics, this is a game that screams luxury.
It may not be tasteful luxury, but when were gazillionaires ever known for their subtlely? When you’ve joined the ranks of the newly rich, you can set new standards in good taste and refinement, but right now there’s work to be done. Hit that spin button and get ready to grind it out on Mr. Moneymaker.
