As the Reels Turn # 1: 'With Fiends like You' Slot Review

Open the As the Reels Turn i-Slot for the first time and you will be greeted with a taste of what this slot is all about. A wonderful intro animation highlighting the hilariously neurotic Matt Gray, general manager of the Hotel and Casino El Paradiso, gives the foundations of a slot-'soap opera' for you to enjoy as you play your spins.

The slot itself has a variety of symbols none of which you will be pleased to know are the high suit-card values. Included in these icons are an amazing FOUR different scatter symbols where you can reach two different themed bonus rounds, watch the next scene from the story or even win yourself some brilliant free-spins and multipliers. The El Paradiso logo and the Chips & Cash Stack icons are the two symbols that can drop you the jackpot. Spin 2, 3, 4 or 5 across an active payline to drop a line multiplier of 3, 20, 125 or 1,000 times respectively. When playing, keep in mind of the two separate screens of the payout table and the gamemap to see your progress on the scenes to see what prizes you can win, how many scenes you have to unlock and whether any bonus games are on the cards next to be unlocked along the game map.

Scatter Symbol

Ok, brace yourselves! This slot contains FOUR differing scatter icons. Firstly you have the standard bonus icon. Spin 3, 4 or 5 across the reels in any position to give yourself prizes of your total wager multiplied by 1, 2 or 50 times respectively. Three or more will also send you away to the 'Counterfeit Chip' bonus round (more on that, later). The second scatter icon is that of the character, Tommy Wong. He has the same prize winning prizes as the standard scatter, yet by spinning three or more of his icon you will be transported to his 'Tommy Wong Feature Act' bonus.

Ivan, the General Manager's pet piranha is the scatter icon that triggers free spins. Reveal 2, 3, 4 or 5 across the reels to multiply your total bet by 1, 1, 2 or 50 times respectively to create your prize. Finally the last scatter icon is the 'Advance to Next Scene' symbol. It doesn't offer you a prize as such, but three or more of the icon across the reels will let you see the next storyline. After you get past certain stages in the story, you can trigger further bonus games depending on how far through the narrative you are.

Free Spins
