NYC Real Estate Slot
You’ll be in a New York state of mind when playing NYC Real Estate, a kooky but cool slot machine from the brainboxes over at WorldMatch. It feels like they’ve taken the dynamics of Monopoly and made it internet friendly. Oh, and changed the name to avoid copyright infringement.
It can be argued as being one of the lesser attractive of the titles under the umbrella of this brand, but not by much, and what it lacks in appeal is made up in money and… money. Sadly, there are no bonus rounds in NYC Real Estate, but don’t let it put you off as it’s a reasonable game.
Manhattan real estate in particular is known to be tricky, so the whole of New York combined must be the stuff of nightmares. We’re clueless when it comes to buying and renting, but we have enough knowledge to know where the money is, but do you? You’re going to be playing online slots for real money, so a poor decision now could end in a housing market disaster.
Surveying the Local Area
There are key components to real estate, with a lot of experts saying that it’s all about the location (location, location). Contrary to popular belief, well more like tourist belief, not all of New York is a place you want to live, there are some areas that are very rough and unpleasant. Much like anywhere.
In this game, those undesirables have been completely ignored, with the prospect of prison being your only negative option, and even then you get money for going there. Yes, being in prison in NYC Real Estate will gift you between 20 to 200 credits, all you need is the right combination of tiles.
Backwards logic aside, the rest of the grid makes a lot more sense, with Times Square and Wall Street being the two big players to find and conquer; they’re priced at 2,000 and 1,000 per five of them. In fact, Times Square is the most valuable symbol in the entire game, and so finding the full deck can be likened to finding the holy grail. No exaggeration.
Go for a Spin
As a resident, or soon to be, you can take to your car or a taxi and explore the depths of every street corner and alleyway. Without paying. In this WorldMatch game, over three of the taxi logos will get you money and 12 free spins. And while the wild can remove every icon to make up a combo, it can’t steal away your taxi, and so you’ll never be left out on the rainy streets of New York City again.
Deposit
Considering that this is a very expensive market, a starting wager of 0.01 is an exceptional price - if the real housing market was like that, everyone would be in their own home. You can increase the sum a little bit more to reach 1 credit, but that’s still only a maximum stake of 25 credits, a more than reasonable fee.
As you may have already worked out, there are 25 paylines in total that can be reduced during your playthrough; we advise to always play with the full amount, but we can’t stop you from making your own way. The more lines you have will result in more chances of combos, which can ultimately mean more potential wins, which equals money.
For those of you who frequent the WorldMatch brand, you’ll know that there are only two more options open to players: autospin and max bet, both of which are optional and easy enough to set. They do exactly what they say, making your experience as computer assisted as possible.
Real Estate Blunder
We don’t feel that NYC Real Estate is bringing the fun, in fact it feels like they’ve made a smaller and less dynamic game of Monopoly, as we commented on earlier. When you play a game that feels like another, you feel conflicted, in between emotions as you question your reasons for playing. If money is your only reason, there are far better WorldMatch titles that have a more entertaining theme and larger cash prizes.
