Moving Moments Slot Machine
Despite not featuring the most descriptive title in the world to begin with, Moving Moments is a magical 5-reel slot from Probability Gaming that soon clears up any ambiguity with its shifting wilds.
Featuring up to 40 adjustable paylines, a free spins bonus and stacked wilds that literally move from one reel to another, the game provides an interesting new spin on the classic Probability model, making it the perfect choice for fans of the studio that are looking for something a bit more unusual.
A Moment to Learn...
Although Moving Moments includes a few additional features and a new-look user interface, the good news for fans Probability Gaming slots is that the actual game mechanics have not changed all that much when compared to other titles created by the studio. This means both the total number of paylines and the bet amount are again adjustable, ensuring players have plenty of betting options.
At the start of each spin, players can choose to have between 1 and 40 paylines active, with bet per line amounts starting at ￡0.01 and going all the way up to ￡1. This means that Moving Moments can be played from as little as ￡0.40 with the maximum number of paylines enabled or as much as ￡40 –making it a title that is suitable for a wide range of players, particularly those on tighter bankrolls.
Whatever level of investment they choose to make, players will be chasing a regular jackpot of 2,000x their line bet in the base game, with this win being doubled during free spins. Regular payouts start at 5x your bet per line and range up to 200x for regular icons, with prizes being awarded for any three-of-a-kind or better combination. This helps the slot achieve an RTP of 96.7%.
... A Lifetime to Appreciate
Released in late 2014, Moving Moments is one of the newer titles in the Probability Gaming catalogue – and this is evident in the game’s luxurious visuals and high-quality sound effects. The game features an enchanting fairytale theme and is played out to a background of a colourful woodland setting, with the reels themselves containing an entirely unique set of 12 different icons.
These symbols include leaves, blackberries, pumpkins, toadstools and snails at the lower end of the payout spectrum, giving the game a back-to-nature feel.
Higher up the paytable, meanwhile, players will find golden keys, rings, butterflies, beetles and unicorns to add a dash of magic to the slot. A golden-haired lady features as the game’s wild, while there are also magic fountain scatter symbols.
In terms of audio effects and animations, Moving Moments includes a nice piece of music whenever the reels are spun, with winning paylines being greeted by a series of increasingly dramatic sound effects. Base game wins also herald a short animation that is specific to the symbol being matched.
Moving Your Money
Like most other Probability Gaming titles, Moving Moments includes a free spins feature that is activated whenever three or more magic fountain symbols appear anywhere on the gameboard. Awarding 15 bonus spins and a prize amount of up to 100x your line bet, the free spins will start automatically and any wins will be subject to a 2x multiplier. This feature can also be re-triggered.
A more unique aspect of Moving Moments, however, is the presence of the stacked wild lady icons during the base game. Not only do these blocks of symbols create more winning paylines during regular play, but if a full stack of four wilds appear on a reel during a spin, you’ll trigger a special feature which sees the entire column move to the right each spin until it leaves the gameboard.
As such, if you’re lucky enough to land a stack of four wilds on the game’s first reel, you’ll get to take advantage of the bonus for the next four spins; with this feature hopefully creating some lengthy winning sequences and enough prize money to compensate for any non-winning runs on the slot.
The Magic Touch
While there’s certainly nothing wrong with Probability Gaming titles, for the most part they’re quite similar in terms of features and gameplay. This, however, is not the case in Moving Moments, which takes an already winning formula and improves it significantly with the addition of a great wild feature. Throw in improved graphics and sound and you have a real winner for fans of the studio.
