As the Reels Turn # 2: 'The Gamble'

As the Reels Turn # 2: 'The Gamble' Slot Review

What is clear about this instalment of the game is that none of the original features have changed other than the new scenes, a couple of regular icons and one bonus game in particular. We continue with the story that the manager of El Paradiso, Matt Gray, is under threat from the local Mafia Don to try and oust his directorship.

Unfortunately for the likes of The Don, Matt G and Chrissy, these regular icons have been displaced by the characters Jamie, Rex and Vanessa yet still have the same prizes attributed to them if you create winning combinations with them. Tommy Wong has also been exchanged for Danny and whereas Tommy could only create scatter wins from 3 or more symbols being spread upon the reels, Danny is a bit more liberal and can create prizes from 2 or more scatter across the reels. Keep in mind the cash stacks and the El Paradiso symbols are still the top award droppers. Ivan now only creates prizes from 3 matched symbols upwards too.

Those familiar with the first episode of this slot will stroll right on ahead with ease for this second part. However regardless of whether you are new to slots, or experienced pro, As the Reels Turn is an unquestionable delightful treat of an i-Slot to grace ours screens.

Scatter Symbol

Just as in part 1, As the Reels Turn part 2 contains a wonderful four differing scatter icons. The standard bonus icon acts exactly the same as in the original version; 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. Show three or more and you will be able to play the familiar 'Counterfeit Chip' bonus round to hopefully trigger further wins.

The second scatter icon is of Danny who has replaced the previously popular character of Tommy Wong. Reveal 2, 3, 4 or 5 of him scatter across the reels to grant you prizes of your full wagered bet by 1, 1, 2 or 50 times. Ivan, the General Manager's pet piranha is back: Reveal 3, 4 or 5 across the reels to multiply your total bet by 1, 2 or 50 times respectively to create your prize and send you off to play with some free-spins.

The final scatter in the game is the 'Advance to Next Scene' symbol. Three or more of the icon across the reels will let you see the next chapter within the story line. 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

Ivan again can win you the free spins on offer. If you spin three or more you can win back multiplies of your full wager AND you will be given ten free-spins with a triple multiplier to make your winnings that extra bit special!

Bonus Round

There are a few bonus games within the As the Reels Turn i-Slots series. The one bonus round is the re-used 'Counterfeit Bonus' which is triggered through the regular bonus symbol trigger. Once again you have to help Matt Gray differentiate the casino chips compared their counterfeits you are on course for some reasonable prizes.

Seeing as Tommy Wong has 'left the building' we now have Danny and his icon that will trigger his 'Find Danny' bonus round. You have to take control of the floor-manager, Rex who is on the hunt for the hiding Danny. You have to click the places you think he is hiding and hope not to find Jamie in the process. The more places that you click and find Danny's face, the better your prizes will be.
