Ice Hockey is a really cool video slot game that thrusts hockey lovers from Canada and around the world into the excitement of international hockey. The game is not a lazy cash-in on the sport’s popularity, but instead a pretty interesting take on ice hockey in video slot form.

Our friends at Playtech designed Ice Hockey, so to play it you will have to visit a Playtech-based casino such as BetFred Casino, Circus Casino, Omni Casino, and Bet365 Casino, among others.

Ice Hockey Basic Information

Right off the bat, Ice Hockey grabs your attention, as it starts with the kind of set-up you may expect more an ice hockey video game than a slot. You pick your favorite team and your opposing team, as well. You can choose between the U.S., Russia, Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland, and of course, Canada. Your team pays left to right, while the other team pays right to left. It’s a really creative set-up for sure.

The symbols, then, will include various players draped in your team’s (and your opposing team’s) jersey, as well as your typical 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols. You’ll also have the sound effects and music you would expect from an exciting slot based on a game like ice hockey. The graphics are cartoonish and amusing, and the theme works very well.

Ice Hockey Coin Values and Jackpots

Ice Hockey has a really nice coin range, as it starts at just 1 cent and goes all the way to $1 CAD, with coin values such as 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, and 25 cents in between. You can only bet one coin per line, so to play all 15 lines, you can play for just 15 cents per spin or as much as $15 per spin, if you prefer. It means just about everybody will be happy with the betting possibilities.

The top jackpot is really nice for a game like this, with 10,000 coins. Of course, there are also free spins, multipliers, and other bonus features that will help you to win even more, but 10,000 for a base jackpot is very nice, indeed.

Ice Hockey Jackpot Rules

To win the 10,000 coin jackpot, you will want to get five of the goal symbols. You will need to get them all on an active payline to win the prize. Now, you can also win 5,000 coins if you get five of any assortment of players that are on the same team on an active payline.

Ice Hockey Special Symbols

The goal symbol is the wild symbol in Ice Hockey, as well as the most valuable symbol in the game from a coin standpoint. It substitutes for all but the special symbols.

What are the other special symbols? They include the flag bonus symbols, which only appear on reels 1 and 5 and can trigger 12 free spins. The puck symbol is also a special bonus symbol and appears on reels 2 and 4 exclusively. It triggers a special bonus mode if a player appears directly on the left (when the puck is on reel 2) or the right (if it’s on reel 4) of the puck.

Finally, there is the game’s scatter symbol, which is the Ice Hockey game logo. It pays up to 125 times your total bet if you get five of them anywhere on the screen, and that’s in addition to other winnings from that spin. Unfortunately, it does not activate any other type of bonus game.

Ice Hockey Bonus Games

The flag symbol, as mentioned before, gets you 12 free spins if only one team appears on the reels while you have their flag on reels 1 and 5. Free spins cannot be re-triggered and do not carry a multiplier, which is a bit of a bummer. However, your chances of a big win are greater, because only one of the two teams appear during free spins, increasing your chances of getting the other team for a huge prize.

The Pass the Puck bonus game is triggered by the puck symbol as mentioned earlier, whenever a player appears directly on the left (with the puck on reel 2) or right (with the puck on reel 4) of the puck. When that happens, the player passes the puck to any on-screen teammates, with each pass giving you 3x your bet!

Final Thoughts

Canadian players in particular may only be interested in Ice Hockey because of its theme, but it actually has much more to offer than just that. The bonus features are really cool, the game’s structure with being able to pick teams is also very interesting, and the betting range is suitable for a wide range of players, making this game a solid match for many people in Canada and around the globe.

Baywatch requires no introduction for anyone who was around back in the 1990s, especially if they were into sexy females in swimsuits. Or, just big David Hasselhoff fans, I suppose. Now, the famous show has been turned into a video slot game that many people are enjoying, whether they were huge fans of the show back in the day or not.

Baywatch is a Playtech video slot, so you can find and play it at Playtech casinos such as City Club Casino, Mansion Casino, Paddy Power Casino, and so forth.

Baywatch Basic Information

Baywatch as always about the visuals, especially when it came to the show’s attractive cast, including the unbelievably hot Pamela Anderson, who welcomed a generation of boys into puberty. Therefore, it makes sense that there are lifeguards galore here, with Pamela Anderson (as CJ Parker), Yasmine Bleeth (Caroline Holden on the show), and Gena Lee Nolin (Neely Capshaw), along with male lifeguard David Charvet (Matt Brody). Unfortunately, David Hasselhoff is not included, likely due to licensing issues.

This video slot hammers home the theme with light-hearted music and sound effects. The other symbols, including different boats and a jet ski, are also helpful in keeping the beach theme going. The background is a sunny beach, with waves and a blue sky to top it all off. This is your normal 5-reel, 25-payline slot with the kind of features you’ve come to expect, like a “Bet Max” button, sound muting, and other features.

Baywatch Coin Values and Jackpots

I’ll say it up front: Baywatch has to have the craziest betting range I’ve ever seen in a video slot. The coin values start at just one cent and go all the way up to $50 CAD, and because there are 20 lines to cover, you can play every line for just 20 cents or $1,000 per spin, if you are a true high roller.

The regular jackpot is worth a conservative 3,000 coins, and since you can only bet one coin per line, that’s where it maxes out until you get bonuses and multipliers into play, which fortunately are plentiful in the Baywatch video slot.

Baywatch Jackpot Rules

It should come as no surprise that the most iconic face of Baywatch is also the most valuable symbol in the game. That’s right; in order to win the jackpot, you’ll be looking for Pamela Anderson’s smiling face, as you’ll need her symbol five times on an active payline in order to strike it big.

Baywatch Special Symbols

Special symbols are plentiful in Baywatch. First, you have the wild symbol, which is Pamela Anderson, which again is quite expected. She looks great, of course, and you’ll be happy to see her not just because of her attractiveness, but also because she substitutes for all symbols except other special symbols.

The scatter symbol is a shot of the lifeguard stand as a silhouette while the sun sets in the background. With two or more of them, you get an extra payout on top of your regular winnings, and with three or more, you trigger the free spins mode.

Finally, the Rescue Feature symbol only appears on reel five, but triggers its own bonus that we will discuss in the next section.

Baywatch Bonus Games

Like some other licensed properties that have been turned into video slots, Baywatch has a robust selection of bonus modes. First is the free spins mode. In this mode, different lifeguards will trigger different features. Caroline gives you six extra spins and a 3x multiplier. Matt gives you six extra spins and an extra frozen wild. Neely gives you six extra spins and increases your multiplier.

The Rescue Bonus feature happens when the Rescue Bonus symbol pops up on the fifth reel. When you’re lucky enough for that to happen, you get to choose between a CJ re-spin feature and a lifeguard mini bonus. The CJ re-spin feature, which spins with two, three, or four wilds randomly distributed on the reels. The lifeguard mini bonus gives you 15 lifeguard symbols that are hidden below the sand, with each giving a cash prize that can be collected if you can match three of a kind.

Final Thoughts

Baywatch is really a cool video slot. While the theme alone would have brought people to the game, Playtech didn’t just mail it in and instead have created a video slot that stands on its own. With the craziest betting range I’ve ever seen and some fun bonus features, Baywatch is worth a look, and not just for the obvious reasons.

The Sopranos is an intriguing video slot game that seeks to capture the drama and style of the classic HBO drama that won a total of 21 Emmy Awards and 5 Golden Globes while it aired between 1999 and 2007. Canadian fans of The Sopranos will certainly enjoy being able to visit their favorite cast members again in the form of this Playtech slot game.

Since The Sopranos is a Playtech slot game, you will need to go to one of their casinos in order to enjoy the game. These casinos include Bet365 Casino, Omni Casino, BetFred Casino, and others.

The Sopranos Basic Information

At first, you may be surprised that The Sopranos has a fairly minimized feel when it comes to its design. The background that drapes around the game screen is just a backdrop of New York, with the harbor at the bottom and skyscrapers at the top. The symbols include all of your favorite characters, including Christopher Moltisanti, Paulie “Walnuts”, Bobby “Bacala”, and of course, Tony Soprano himself.

You’ll also find video footage from the show that is much expected if you have played these types of video slots before. There is also your typical theme music and sound effects, which are mostly unobtrusive. The game features your usual five reels and twenty-five paylines and has some bonus features to dig your teeth into, as well.

The Sopranos Coin Values and Jackpots

The Sopranos has a wide range of coin sizes that will be unlike what you have probably seen in most video slots, whether you are a Canadian player or someone who lives elsewhere around the world. The coin sizes start pretty hefty at 20 cents minimum and go all the way up to $10 per coin!

Furthermore, with 25 paylines to cover, it’ll cost $5 per spin to play all 25 even at the smallest coin value, which kind of limits this slot game’s appeal to some players, who would rather play for longer and not spend so much. The maximum bet would be $250, which is something you won’t see in many video slots, for sure.

The game has a maximum jackpot of just 3,000 coins. That is likely because there are so many bonuses to be found in this game that you are looking for bonuses and multipliers to really rack up the coins, not a normal jackpot.

The Sopranos Jackpot Rules

It’s not a big surprise that the most valuable symbol in the game is that of Tony Soprano. Get five of Tony Soprano’s mug on an active payline, and you’ll earn 3,000 coins in one fell swoop. It’s pretty simple, but it really underscores the importance of the bonus games.

The Sopranos Special Symbols

The Sopranos really comes into its own when it comes to special symbols and bonus games. The wild symbol is the Tony Soprano symbol, which is obviously recognizable to anyone who ever watched an episode of The Sopranos, or even was aware of the show. It substitutes for all symbols except other special symbols.

The Sopranos logo is the scatter symbol, and if you get three or more of them, you enter the free spins game, which has multiple modes that we will discuss in a bit.

There are two bonus symbols, the Bada Bing bonus and the Stolen Goods bonus. The Bada Bing bonus is obviously the club’s logo, and pops up on reels 2, 3, and 4. The Stolen Goods bonus comes in the form of a shipping crate and appeals on reels 1 and 5. These trigger bonus games of their own.

The Sopranos Bonus Games

The Sopranos is really all about bonus games. Even the free spins feature, which is triggered by getting at least three Sopranos logos, is blown up into a real bonus game. Once you get into free spins, you have to pick between four different free spins modes.

The first is the Soldier version, where you get 25 free spins and Christopher is an extra wild symbol, and any Christopher symbol in the middle spot of any reel adds five free spins. The Capo version gives you 20 free spins with a random multiplier between 2x and 5x. Free spins can’t be re-triggered in Capo, but Paulie symbols increase your multiplier.

The Boss version of free spins gives you 10 free spins and two to five Tony wild symbols are added on each spin, with a Tony in the middle position gives you five free spins. Finally, the Family version gives you 10 free spins with just cast members on the reels and an extra 2x multiplier on Tony wild symbols.

Bonus games include the Bada Bing bonus, where you get five characters to pick from, all of whom want to talk to Tony. You see a scene from the show after you pick and then get your reward. The Stolen Goods bonus has you pick a shipping container to reveal a prize, with the chance to ditch it and pick a new one up to twice.

Finally, the Raid bonus game pops up completely randomly and is triggered at the end of random spins. You go to a special screen and have to hide four envelopes before the Feds show up. The Feds will check two of the four spots, so you can put all of your envelopes in one spot or even spread them out and guarantee that you’ll keep two of the four spots.

Final Thoughts

The Sopranos is really a full-featured game. The bonus games are just about second to none, and fans of the show will love the game for sure. The only drawbacks are that it’s a bit expensive to play, and if you want a simple slot game, this surely isn’t it. Everyone else will likely have a blast playing, though.

Twisted Circus capitalizes on the underlying creepiness of the circus itself that many people find unsettling in real life. This imaginative video slot features a wide array of characters that would be more at home in a traveling freak show than the kind of family-friendly circus you’re more likely to see today.

Twisted Circus is another Microgaming video slot, which means you can play it at online casinos such as Gaming Club Casino, Jackpot City, Music Hall Casino, Mummys Gold Casino, and many, many others.

Twisted Circus Basic Information

Twisted Circus makes good on its promise of a different take on what could otherwise be a familiar, rather dull theme. It does so first with its animation style, as it eschews the all-too-usual cartoonish look for a watercolored, realistic look that still features vibrant colors but fits more with a slightly old-fashioned theme. There’s not a lot of glitz, glamour, or shine here, as there shouldn’t be.

Some suitably mysterious music plays during the game, and there are sound effects to go along with it, though they get a bit annoying and you may end up muting them, if you’re like me. The symbols animate with many wins, but a lot of the animations just involve the characters stiffly moving about. Still, the symbols, which include the bearded lady, a snake charmer, a fire eater, Siamese twins, a ringmaster, and a creepy looking monkey, are well-illustrated and interesting to look at.

Twisted Circus Coin Values and Jackpots

Twisted Circus has a coin bet range of 1 cent to 20 cents, with stops at 2 cents, 5 cents, and so on in between. However, this game is perfect for high rollers, as the ability to bet 20 coins per line means you can wager a staggering $120 per spin, should you choose to. You can also play for as low as 30 cents per spin, if you prefer. This game is not really geared towards casual players, at those prices.

The maximum coin jackpot is 60,000 coins, which is quite nice, and can be multiplied by 20 to 1,200,000 coins if you bet the maximum number of coins per line. With multipliers and bonuses, you can win even more if you are lucky.

Twisted Circus Jackpot Rules

The most valuable symbol in Twisted Circus is the Scatter symbol, which is that of a ticket that you would use to exchange for prizes at the circus. It is the symbol which is worth 60,000 coins, should you get five of them on any of the reels during play.

Twisted Circus Special Symbols

The wild symbol is the Twisted Circus logo, which can substitute for any symbol besides special symbols. When it does substitute for other symbols to create a winning combination, it also triples your win, which is great.

The scatter ticket is a scatter symbol that pays with two or more of them. If you get three or more of them, you earn 13 free spins, as well. There is also the ringmaster, who is a bonus symbol and pays out when you get three of him.

Twisted Circus Bonus Games

The Twisted Circus really livens up when you get into its bonus modes. When the ringmaster appears on the third, fourth, and fifth reels, you will get into the Circus Match bonus game. Then, you will see 16 symbols that are hidden. If you can match three characters, you win a prize.

The free spins mode is excellent, as once you enter by getting three scatter tickets, you not only get your 13 free spins, but a 3x multiplier that makes your wins that much more impressive. Free spins can also be re-triggered, and bonus symbols can be had in this mode, as well.

Final Thoughts

Twisted Circus is more than just a cool gimmick, it is also a well-made video slot with plenty of features to make you enjoy your time and help you to earn prizes. The bonus features are excellent, and we know that our fellow Canadian players are big fans of the 243 ways to win tech that this game includes. This is a good game to try.

Battlestar Galactica is one of Microgaming’s greatest video slots of the past few years, especially in terms of graphics and popularity of the source material. Standing alongside some of their other top games such as Immortal Romance, Battlestar Galactica is a no-brainer for fans of the well-loved show, but what about everybody else?

As Battlestar Galactica is a Microgaming slot, Canadian players (and others all around the world) can find it at Microgaming casinos such as EuroPalace, Gaming Club Casino, River Belle Casino, and many more.

Battlestar Galactica Basic Information

Right away, you get a taste of what is to come with Battlestar Galactica as the loading screen shows you one of the Cylon warriors that fans of the show will instantly recognize. When the full game loads up, you’ll see portraits of all of the great characters you remember from the series, rendered in stunning high definition graphics.

Characters immortalized in symbol form include Commander Adama, President Roslin, Doctor Baltar, and Lieutenant Thrace, among others. Other symbols from the show’s iconography include ships, weapons, and enemies from the series.

Best of all, when you trigger wins with the different characters, you see video clips, which change as you continue to play the game. It’s all controlled by an “experience bar” that progresses as you play and unlocks further content as you go.

The updated video clips mean that you can play a long time and still feel as if you are engaged in the game, which is a great feature. The feel of the game is enhanced further by theme music and sound effects that don’t distract you, but instead just supplement the experience nicely.

Battlestar Galactica Coin Values and Jackpots

At first glance, it would appear that Battlestar Galactica’s coin values are insufficient, ranging only from 1 cent to 5 cents at the maximum. However, with 10 coins per line maximum to be wagered and plenty of lines to bet, you can still wager up to $15 per spin, or bet just 30 cents per spin at the low end of the spectrum.

While some nice prizes are available during normal play without the aid of bonuses and multipliers, you can win a startling amount of coins when they are included. How much? Up to 1,400,000 coins!

Battlestar Galactica Jackpot Rules

Battlestar Galactica’s largest prize requires you to get into the free spins mode, first. Then, you have to use your 3x multiplier while betting the max to have a shot at the largest prize. Otherwise, multiple symbols are worth up to 4,000 coins if you get them in normal play at just one coin bet per line. Furthermore, the Ion Storm feature happens at random and can turn up to five reels wild at the drop of a hat.

Battlestar Galactica Special Symbols

The wild symbol is the Battlestar Galactica crest, and can count as any symbol besides the other special symbols. The logo appears stacked on the first reel and can lead to a whole reel of wilds, at times.

The Colonel Viper ship is the scatter symbol in Battlestar Galactica, and when you get three or more, you will get 15 free spins. During your free spins, you’ll have a 3x multiplier by default, as well.

Battlestar Galactica Bonus Games

When you play Battlestar Galactica, you can sometimes select “Run Mode” and “Flight Mode”. Run Mode means that any of the standard 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols can become wild at any time. Flight Mode causes random wilds to appear which can split themselves to create even more wins.

We already talked a bit about the free spins mode, which is triggered by three or more scatter symbols on a spin. One nice additional thing to note about the free spins mode, besides the 3x multiplier, is that free spins can be re-triggered.

Final Thoughts

Battlestar Galactica could have been a very lazy effort made to capitalize on a successful television series, but Microgaming instead decided to go all out and really make the game one to remember. With plenty of features, amazing graphics, and a ground-breaking experience system to keep your gameplay experience fresh, you will enjoy Battlestar Galactica, whether you’re a fan of the series or a complete newbie.

Mermaids Millions is a great underwater-themed slot that takes you to a fantastical world full of mermaids and adventure. This full-featured video slot is sure to be popular with players from Canada and worldwide because of both its fun theme and the many ways in which you can win while playing.

Mermaids Millions is a Microgaming slot which you will be able to find at such virtual establishments as EuroPalace, Golden Tiger Casino, Golden Riviera Casino, and many other Microgaming casinos.

Mermaids Millions Basic Information

Mermaids Millions features a deep blue-colored theme, with easy to read text and a simple layout that will be instantly familiar to Microgaming fans. The symbols are quite distinct and stylish and include the mermaid herself, the king, an oyster with a pearl, a seahorse, and much more.

While illustrated, the symbols are more stylized and realistic than cartoonish, setting this game apart from many others. The familiar 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols provide some variety while fitting with the them, thanks to pearls, crabs, and so on adorning them. Sound effects and music, which can be muted, further enhance the theme.

Mermaids Millions Coin Values and Jackpots

This Microgaming video slot has quite a coin value range, starting at 1 cent and moving up with values at 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 50 cents, and up to $1 per coin. At the highest value, it will cost you $15 to play every line, and $75 if you bet five coins per line to maximize your possible winnings. At the same time, you can play all 15 lines for just 15 cents, if you like.

The regular jackpot is 37,500 coins, which is possible only if you bet five coins per line and get the jackpot on one of your active paylines. If you go with one coin per line, you would win 7,500, instead.

Mermaids Millions Jackpot Rules

The secret to winning the jackpot of Mermaids Millions is the king symbol, which shows the smiling merman with the word “Wild” on the bottom of the symbol so there is no mistaking him. Get five of them on an active payline to win; that’s all there is to it.

Mermaids Millions Special Symbols

The afore-mentioned king symbol is not only very valuable, but also wild. It can substitute for all symbols except the scatter and treasure bonus symbols, which we will talk about in a moment. It does not double your wins, sadly.

The scatter symbol is the mermaid, which is instantly recognizable when it comes up. Not only does the scatter symbol win you money (with a value that is multiplied by the total number of coins staked), but if you get three or more, you can get 10 free spins, as well. Getting two or more scatter symbols wins you coins, as well.

Finally, we have the treasure bonus symbol, which is a large treasure chest. When you get three or more on an active payline, the treasure bonus game is triggered. Furthermore, the treasure bonus symbol can help you win some nice prizes, as it’s a valuable symbol, too.

Mermaids Millions Bonus Games

The treasure bonus game is the main bonus feature of Mermaids Millions. After getting the necessary treasure chest symbols, you are presented with a multitude of treasure chests and sea shells at the bottom of the sea that you get to open. The number of chests/shells you get to open is equal to the number (3, 4, or 5) of treasure chests you got to trigger the bonus game, and all of the chests have hidden bonuses.

The free spins feature, which is triggered by getting three or more mermaid symbols, is also a great addition. Why? Because for one, your wins are tripled during free spins. Even with such a nice multiplier, you can also re-trigger free spins from within the mode!

Final Thoughts

Mermaids Millions has appeal that goes beyond the theme itself. With a wonderful free spins feature and a fun bonus game as well, there is a potential of very nice winnings when you play. The game also has a wide range of betting and coin value options to cater to any kind of player, and is recommended to our readers in Canada and worldwide.

Break Away takes players from Canada and across the world onto the ice to play an exciting ice hockey-themed video slot. This five-reel slot features Microgaming’s popular 243 ways to win technology, and you will be smashing into the boards and slapping shots past the goalie in no time with this one.

Break Away is a Microgaming slot game that you can check out at Microgaming casinos such as EuroPalace, Golden Tiger Casino, Jackpot City, and many more.

Break Away Basic Information

You may imagine in your head a rather lazy ice hockey theme, but Break Away actually takes a few stylistic chances in regards to the lock of the game. The players on the symbols have more of a watercolored, realistic look than the kind of cartoonish art you’re used to in video slots, and the old-school thick, colored borders around the symbols make them look like 1980s hockey cards.

You won’t be surprised to see closeups of hockey skates, the ice rink, players in action, a face off, zambonis, and linesmen immortalized in the game’s symbols. Animations bring a lot of excitement to the game, and if you think that an ice hockey themed slot from Microgaming wouldn’t include a typical goal celebration, with flashing light and siren, you’re definitely wrong!

Break Away Coin Values and Jackpots

Microgaming hides a nice range of betting amounts behind a deceptively conservative coin value range that goes from just 1 cent to only 10 cents, with values such as 2 cents and 5 cents in between to choose from. Despite the low range, with 10 coins per line and many lines to wager on, you can bet up to $50 per spin on Break Away. You can also play all of the lines for just 50 cents per spin.

The largest prize in the game is a robust 125,000 coins. Without the help of special symbols, you can win a pretty good 5,000 coins, as well. Of course, that value goes up with more coins bet per line.

Break Away Jackpot Rules

The 5,000 coin regular jackpot is earned by getting five of the skater with the red jersey on any active payline. However, if you want the 125,000 coin special jackpot, you’ll need to get five flaming pucks, which are also the scatter symbol in the game.

Break Away Special Symbols

The wild symbol in the game is easily identifiable, with a colorful and vibrantly lettered Break Away logo plastered right there for immediate identification on the symbol itself. The symbol only appears on the middle three reels, but is a stacked wild that takes over the entire reel, which is nice.

There’s also a smashing wild feature that is activated when opposing team players are on the same middle reel. In that case, they smash into one another and guarantee you a prize.

The scatter symbol is the flaming puck, which can be on reels 2, 3, or 5. If you get five of them, you’re looking at a massive 125,000 coin jackpot. If you get at least three, you’re going to get into the free spins feature with 25 free spins to use up.

Break Away Bonus Games

Break Away does not have a special bonus game, but does have a free spins mode that activates with three or more scatters on a spin. You get 25 free spins when you activate free spins mode, with bonuses available in the form of multipliers and rolling wins to increase your earnings even more. All of these bonuses can make a win of 800,000 coins possible.

Final Thoughts

Canadian hockey fans will definitely want to “Break Away” with this fun and amusing slot game. The theme is very well done, but most importantly, huge prizes are available via free spins and wild bonuses. With a minimum cost of 50 cents to play all of the lines, it’s not the cheapest slot out there, but it’s easy to recommend, nonetheless.

The Finer Reels of Life is a luxuriously themed video slot from our friends at Microgaming, which provides a very refined take on the five-reel style video slot that has effectively taken over the world of online slots today.

The Finer Reels of Life, like all Microgaming slots, can be tried out at Microgaming casinos such as Gaming Club Casino, All Slots Casino, River Belle Casino, and many more.

The Finer Reels of Life Basic Information

The Finer Reels of Life uses a classy theme that includes candles, red velvet, and shiny, golden symbols. The symbols themselves include your classic 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, along with wine bottles, diamonds, tea cups, and so on.

The symbols are perfect for the simple, yet effective theme, and conservative music and sound effects manage not to annoy yet complete the feel of the slot, too. Animations, such as the champagne bottle popping, help with immersion as well as you spin for prizes.

The Finer Reels of Life Coin Values and Jackpots

The Finer Reels of Life is a rare video slot that has a very limited range of coin values, only going from 1 cent to 5 cents, with values such as 2 cents in between. However, with 5 coins per line to bet and 30 lines you can cover, you can bet between 30 cents and $7.50 per spin. It’s not a high roller slot, exactly, but that’s a nice range that should accommodate most players.

The maximum coin jackpot is a robust 37,500 coins. Furthermore, multipliers and betting more coins per line can multiply that amount and make you a lot of money in very short order. With all of the factors included, the game boasts that you can win up to 800,000 coins in a single spin.

The Finer Reels of Life Jackpot Rules

To win the highest jackpot in The Finer Reels of Life, you will be looking for the bonus star symbol, which is easily the most valuable in the game. Getting five of them on any active payline will earn you the 37,500 coin prize we talked about above, which can be increased with free spin multipliers or by wagering more coins per line.

The Finer Reels of Life Special Symbols

The wild symbol has the game’s logo with “WILD” in capital letters on the bottom half of the icon, so it’s easy to spot. Not only does it substitute for all symbols besides other special symbols, but it also doubles the value of wins when it substitutes.

The star icon is the bonus symbol, which we discussed earlier. Besides being the most valuable symbol in the game, it can also lead to free spins when you get three or more of them.

There is also a random wild feature that is not a symbol at all, but instead appears at random as a champagne bottle below one or more reels. At the conclusion of your spin, the bottle pops open and turns an entire reel wild.

The Finer Reels of Life Bonus Games

There are no bona fide bonus games in The Finer Reels of Life, but the free spins mode is fairly robust. When you enter free spins mode, you can choose between 25 free spins (with rolling reels), 20 free spins (with burning wilds), 15 free spins (with wild wine), and 10 free spins (with 5x multipliers). The differences don’t seem to make  a huge impact on winnings, so it’s all up to your personal preference.

Final Thoughts

The Finer Reels of Life is not going to set the video slot world on fire, but it’s a fun game that Canadians and others will enjoy, nonetheless. The betting ranges are conservative enough to allow most people to enjoy the game, and the free spins feature is very nice, as well.
