spin a winner slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Once again, Blueprint Gaming’s Spin a Winer online slot is a gameshow-themed machine with an old-school ten-line payout scheme that plays out on a 5x3 playfield. There have certainly been lots of “Wheel of Fortune” themed games over the years, although many of the best ones have ended up staying in the land-based casinos of Las Vegas instead of being made available on the web. This is a shame, as it’s a theme that I enjoy, so I am glad that Blueprint has decided to give us something similar for online play.

But does the paytable hold up? Ten-line games usually have attractive paytables due to the low frequency of winning combinations compared to games with larger numbers of pay lines. In the Spin a Winner slot game, the top prize is listed on the paytable as “1500”, which does not consider the currently selected stake. I can’t understand why Blueprint would not spend a few extra minutes when programming the game to make its paytable reflect the currently selected stake, but, alas, that is the situation we have.

Sorry, I got a little bit distracted there! As we were saying, the top prize is listed as 1500. With some investigation, I managed to establish that Blueprint is working in coins here, so regardless of your bet, you are always betting ten coins and the number shown on the paytable is also in coins. Therefore, a full line of wild symbols will pay 150x your bet for five-of-a-kind. This is followed by the red sports car at 100x, the yellow speed boat at 50x, and the watches and golf clubs, both of which will pay you 40x your bet for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind.

The betting range is typically wide, as is often the case with games made by top-tier developers. You can bet between €0.10 as the minimum and €100.00 as the maximum for each paid spin, but far more increments are available towards the lower end of the scale.

base game & MODIFIERS

I’m not sure if Blueprint could be related to Aristocrat and the other software houses in that group, as the look and feel of the Spin a Winner video slot is very much reminiscent of the land-based games that have been produced by those guys in the past. It’s a typical 5x3 reel slot, and with just ten fixed paylines, I would have hoped for some bigger wins on the base game paytable.

Even better, Blueprint could have included a small base game mod or two, but I guess you will have to be happy with the bonus round this time!

spin a winner slot free spins feature

Speaking of that bonus round, the scatter symbol is designed to look like the bonus wheel that you will be spinning to decide how your features will play out. Hitting three scatter bonus wheels will award you one feature, whilst four or five will award two or three features respectively. Once you arrive at the bonus wheel you will be able to spin indefinitely, collecting cash prizes as you go. This stage of the feature will only complete when you land on a free spins segment, which will begin a further bonus round instead.

During the free spins won from the bonus wheel, you will be able to hit additional scatters and collect further wheel spins that you can use when you make it back to the bonus wheel. If you arrive at the wheel with three features (triggered by five scatter symbols) then you can end up playing free spins features for quite a while, as you can retrigger the bonus round multiple times for every spin of the wheel.

During my testing, this was a great feature, especially if you hit more than three scatter symbols. I particularly love the fact that you can keep collecting cash prizes in between free spins features, and I even hit a 500x stake segment whilst I was reviewing the game!
