Win Spinner

On the face of it Win Spinner looks like a typical online fruit machine format with its three reels filled with fruit symbols, single win line and Nudge and Hold reel features. However this Microgaming fruity has a twist to the usual way of winning a payout on this type of gaming machine. Where you would normally expect a combination of three-of-a-kind on the win line to payout your bet times a multiplier designated on a paytable, Win Spinner pays nothing! Before you click away in disgust at this seemingly 'nothing-for something' deal, hold fast - there's more...

The twist in the reels of Win Spinner is that three-of-a-kind on its win line is the trigger for free 'winspins' on its bonus feature. For instance three cherries will earn one free winspin, while three 'Win Spinner' logos gets the maximum of twenty-five winspins. Before going on to explain the bonus game and how it turns these winspins into guaranteed payouts, it's also worth noting that there are two randomly triggered features on this fruit machine's base game. 'Shifta!' grabs the reels at unscheduled moments to serve up a guaranteed three symbol combination, while 'Let 'em Spin' does much the same but can only crop up if you've just used a Nudge event to get two matching symbols onto the win line.

Returning to this online fruit machine's bonus game, Win Spinner swaps its main three reels for a new set sporting a video slot-style multipayline format. The reels are stuffed with six different symbol types, all representing images of the high-life.y'know, yachts, mansions, private jets and all that malarkey. The reels are then spun automatically (boo!) but every spin guarantees a winning combination on at least one of the paylines (yay!). With five possible paylines active this means a single spin can stop with a maximum of five winning combinations, and if they all happen to be the jackpot symbol of a mansion that's 5 x 500 x your bet. Or 2,500 x your bet if your maths isn't what it was. Arrive at Win Spinner's bonus game with a maximum 25 winspins to play and there's an awful lot of potential to pick up a very tasty payout from this fruit machine's coffers.

Because of the increased opportunity to get higher awards with this bonus feature the statistical frequency of playing it isn't as high as activating the bonus features on some other online fruit machines, however we found it still triggered pretty frequently during a session. We certainly didn't feel starved of winspins, and you can always try this game in free play mode to assess this for yourself.

We always like to play fruit machines online that put a different spin on the traditional format for these games, and in that respect Win Spinner's - well - a winner. We also think that its clever use of a multipayline video slot format for the bonus game widens Win Spinner's appeal to the wider online slots playing community. Microgaming have done a good job of delivering a fresh fruit machine game idea and we'd definitely recommend you check this out for yourself, especially if you're after something a little different from your usual fruit diet.
