Roll out the red carpet, don that top hat and prepare for a 1920’s style smasher with NetEnt’s Grand Spinn slot. As you know, I love a touch of glitz, so a game that boasts grand styling and potential big wins is always a hit in Wombat Towers. This has to be the most delicious looking fruit machine I have ever played.
So, what does this classy title have to offer? Well, there’s a nudge mechanic as well as another treat, in the shape of Multiplier Wilds. And have I mentioned the trio of jackpots on offer?
Look and Feel
This NetEnt title is a classy little number: the Grand Spinn slot is decked out in art deco-styling with purple and gold flourishes. It looks a pretty picture compared to more traditional games like the Stones and Bones slots and others. Very smart, I must say!
You can enjoy the laid-back vibe with jazzy tones played on the piano as the background to your reel spinning. Of course, this Wombat can’t resist a touch of reclining in style: this game took me into an ultra-relaxed mode in a moment.
The reels look like the bee’s knees, with classic art deco shapes. You can’t miss the fact that the middle row is highlighted in a golden bracket shape for quick reference.
Grand Spinn Slot Game Play
Let’s take a closer look at this retro-style spinathon that play out over 3 rows, 3 reels, and a single pay-line, shall we? So what does 1 pay-line mean for you fans? It’s easy-peasy, you just need to focus your gaming attention on the action on that all important middle row. If you want more, then head to Butterfly Staxx 2 or plenty of our other games. Grand Spinn slot keeps it simple!
3 Lucky number 7s make up the game’s highest value icon, worth a bonza 20x your wager for 3 on an active pay-line. There’s also a selection of classic fruit machine style icons with BAR icons, plumbs, cherries, oranges and the ol’ watermelon. In decadent style, the fruits all appear on gold or silver platters- that’s an idea for jazzing-up my snacks, come to think of it.
And there are even blank icons on the reels. Woah there, Nelly!
When you make a big win, you’ll see coins and jewels pour onto the reels from each side of the screen in celebratory style. That might be a good time to shake your Wombutt a few times!
You will need to land a Multiplier Wild to generate the big wins. The Wild will land on the reels with different multiplier numbers visible on the icon. These multipliers range between 2x and a lucky 8x. The Wilds will sub for all icons, except that juicy Jackpot icon or the arrow symbols.
Finally, there’s also a mega-big pink diamond with the 3 different types of jackpots inscribed across it.
The Bonuses
The Nudge
If you luck in, you might land a nudge win. All it takes is for the winning line icons on the middle reel to match with the first icon on the first reel on the top row and you will receive a “nudge”. This nice nudge mechanic sets off a cycle which can move from the first to the last reels in sequence if you are lucky.
Initially, the first reel will move or “nudge” down 1 place to award a second win, for your first spin. As long as that first reel is giving you these nudge wins the process will continue. And, if you stop nudging winning icons onto that first reel, the mechanism moves on to the second and finally the last reel in the same way. I can’t fault making a series of wins from a single spin!
And because NetEnt love to keep those wins coming, note that after a nudge win, you may spot a golden arrow icon above a reel. When this happens your luck’s in, because that golden arrow can lead you to a virtual gold pot of your own as this icon re-triggers the nudge mechanic again. Kerching!
Hit a Jackpot
Let’s talk about the 3 increasingly large jackpots that the Grand Spinn slot has to offer you.
The Mini Jackpot gives you a 30x your wager win. And, the Midi and Mega Jackpots offer you 200 or a head-spinning 10,000 your wager wins, respectively. If you land 3 different jackpot icons, your win will always be the lowest of the 3 diamond jackpot icons. Very nice!
Summary
I love the decadent art deco period. You should see me doing the Charleston! The Grand Spinn slot is a high variance game that’s all about getting lucky with nudge wins. And those Multiplier Wilds and the trio of jackpots are a nice icing on the cake. NetEnt has created a swish looking game with plenty of winning chances to match those winning looks.
