Spin Crazy Slots
Are you crazy for slot machines and mad for some retro spinning action? Well, why not try out this classically inclined 3-reel game by Microgaming which offers players with two ways to spin and win.
That is because there is a base game with some truly traditional slot machine icons from the arcade gaming archives as well as an extravagant wheel of fortune style bonus for some bonus boost bonanzas. The AWP style slot machine also plays host to a number of additional gameplay elements that are typical from the pub fruit machine format, including a series of randomly awarded nudge features.
Are you game for some spins?
As far as themes go, this 3-reel effort by Microgaming is fairly conventional and generic, opting not to offer any particular genre or style to mix up the classic element of the AWP slot machine. As such, the reels are jam packed with a series of truly classic arcade gambling machine symbols that any punter will easily recognise; we're talking about ripe red cherries, juicy lemons, plump plums, single BARs, double BARs, triple BARs and a couple of red and yellow 7 symbols.
Having said that, the game does take on a very subtle theme which emulates the bold and vibrant design of a television game show. That is perhaps why the game's screen is rendered with streaks of yellow lines over a red background, transforming the relatively ordinary reels to something that is altogether more interesting and eye-catching. What's more, Spin Crazy also features a glamorous game show hostess, dressed to replicate the 80s hey-day of television contest with a blue dress and huge hair-do.
Go crazy for these wins
There is only 1 payline available to play with in this relatively simple slot machine, meaning that punters won't have to worry about toggling with different line quantities when it comes to determining the overall value of their bets. That is not to say that there aren't any options at all, however, because spinners of Spin Crazy can choose from a decent pool of possible wagers, ranging from as little as 0.10 credits and rising as high as 10.00 credits per spin.
With the bets in place, players simply have to set the reels in motion and hope that they can align three of the same icon upon the single payline to win one of the following prize multipliers:
Nudge features
There aren't any wild symbols involved in this 3-reel classic, meaning that spinners won't be able to count on their wins being completed by a special icon. However, punters will still be able to create wins using some a more hands-on approach. That is thanks to a set of typical nudge features that are common with games that take after pub fruit machines such as this. These extra gameplay elements are awarded completely at random and they will give players the opportunity to budge individual reels to complete wins.
There are even chances to nudge again with the “Nudge Repeat” feature or gamble for more nudges with the “Nudge Gamble”. Alternatively, if players don't see any chance to nudge a winner into position, they can bank their nudges for the next spin with the “Nudge Bank Held” option.
Spin the wheel of fortune
There is more to this game than some straightforward spins and some nudge options. In fact, if you spin the game in the right way then you might find that this game offers a lot more! That is because players can activate a special bonus side game which presents a bonanza of potential bonus boosts. All players need to do is spin the reels so that they reveal three small wheel of fortune icons. If punters are lucky enough to do this, then they will be taken to a new game screen with a colourful wheel of fortune bonus game.
The aim of the game is simple: players just have to spin the wheel to take advantage of the various cash prizes and extra bonus games on offer. However, each spin of this bonus wheel will be riskier than the last since, every time that a segment is hit, it will become unlit, and if an unlit segment is landed on for a second time, the bonus game will end and players will lose all of the accrued bonus wins. We didn't say that it wasn't going to be easy did we? With that in mind, spinners will have to choose the best opportunity to cash in their bonus wins before the wheel of fortune becomes too un-fortuitous.
Could be crazier...
We have to admit that we didn't expect much from this fairly generic 3-reel slot machine by Microgaming. However, the slot has pleasantly surprised us with its exciting bonus game which comes with an extra element of gambling peril rather than simply offering guaranteed wins.
Although, having said that, players who are looking for a similar game with a slightly more interesting design can check out another Microgaming slot called Wheel of Plenty, which offers the same bonus gameplay with a fun and exciting carnival theme.
