Spanish Eyes
The wombat says: This Spanish style slot from Next Gen is a nice little game- the design reminds us of our Potion Commotion slot game, except in this game, you head to the Southern Spain to sample the delicious sangria and dancing senoritas!
The game is inspired by Flamenco, the passionate and seductive dance that comes from Andalucía. Developed over several centuries from Gypsy, Moorish and Andalusian influences, Seville is the Flamenco capital which is where this game is probably set. Anyway, let’s get back to the slot action. Ole!
Look and Feel
The game’s design has a distinctly Flamenco flavour, with its sultry senorita and traditional guitar soundtrack. The chirping crickets and the chatter and clinking noises of the bar transport the reels to a hosteleria in Southern Spain along with the Flamenco themed symbols. We’ve seen much better designs from NextGen (like the Snow Flakes slot for instance), but overall it does the trick.
Game Play
Spanish Eyes slot is a 5-reel and 25-payline video slot from NextGen Gaming. Fitting in with the Iberian theme, the symbols in the game include clicking castanets, a Spanish guitar, an ornate fan used to cool down during those hot night, as well as the 9, 10, J, Q, K & A playing cards that make up your lower value symbols. The fan is the most valuable icon of them all, and will pay you out a very decent 1250 pesetas if you manage to land 5 of them.
The sexy Spanish chica, who reminds us of the star of the Mayan Princess slot, acts as your Wild, and as always she will substitute for all other symbols on the reels apart from the Scatter. She also has another trick up her Flamenco-style sleeve; if you land the Senorita on reels 1 and 5 at the same time you’ll trigger the Pick and Win feature. Simply pick 1 of the 2 symbols on either reel to get an extra cash prize. You may even find a ‘Pick again’ logo… Buena suerte!
Keep your eyes peeled for the Red Rose too Wombat fans, it’s the Scatter symbol in Spanish Eyes slot. Land 3x or more of these fragrant flowers and you’ll set off the Free Spins feature.
Free Spins Bonus
Say ‘hello’ to 12 Free Spins with a 3x multiplier added on all your wins in this round. Plus you can also re-trigger the Free Spins Bonus. Perfecto! The senorita does an elegant spiral across the reels when you trigger the feature off too, which is a nice touch.
Gamble Feature
Spanish Eyes slot comes with a ‘Double Up’ feature. Basically ,you can double or quadruple your cash after any winning spin by clicking on the Hearts/Clubs icon. Guess the correct colour of the face-down playing card, or the suit, if you are really feeling lucky and you’ll get x2 or x4 your win. The gamble ends if you win 5 times in a row.
Conclusion
The Far East is usually the first place slot makers head to when they’re after a foreign theme, so we think it’s nice to be somewhere different for a change. Ok, the slot won’t win any awards, but it’s a good way to spend an hour or so. Drop into the bar and have a spin, you might even meet the senorita!
Wombat score: 3/5
