Grand Spinn (NetEnt): Review
A throwback to the glamorous and glitzy age of Art Deco, Grand Spinn is a highly volatile😄 single line NetEnt slot with a classic feel. The game, which utilises 3 reels and 3 rows, benefits from a😄 nudge feature, multiplier wilds and 3 fixed jackpots. Coinciding with the standard version, there is also a local progressive jackpot😄 version called Grand Spinn Superpot for players who want to hunt for even bigger jackpots.
Whether by chance or otherwise, Grand😄 Spinn is the third Art Deco-themed slot to be released by NetEnt this year alone (the other two being Turn😄 Your Fortune and Cash-O-Matic). In true Art Deco fashion, it makes use of geometric forms of cubism, striking contrasts and😄 a colour palette ranging from gold to deep red. The Streamlined design comes together exceptionally well and gives the game😄 that luxurious vintage feel the designers were aiming for. Reading the paytable, we learn that there are actually blank symbols😄 included in the game which are essentially dead objects that do not pay. There's also a bunch of classic fruit😄 slot symbols such as bars, cherries, plums, oranges and watermelons. The most lucrative, however, is the trio of lucky sevens😄 giving you 20 times your stake for 3 of a kind.
Grand Spinn (NetEnt): Features
Being a single line slot, you only😄 need to keep an eye on the highlighted row in the middle - three matching symbols on the single payline😄 constitutes a win. Each time you land a winning combination, the Nudge feature comes into play. If the symbol directly😄 above the winning symbol on reel one is a match, it will nudge down one position and award another payout.😄 The process repeats until no more matching symbols appear on the payline. The very same process then proceeds to the😄 second and finally the third reel. Once the nudge feature has come to a halt, you may see an up😄 arrow above any reel - this will reset the symbol stack to the first position again and the chain of😄 nudge wins on that particular reel begins again.
Grand Spinn also comes with a set of Multiplier Wilds. One multiplier wild😄 on the winning payline multiplies the win by 2, two of them will multiply your win by 4, and if😄 you get three of them, your win will be subjected to a 8x multiplier.
Now, when all the reels have come😄 to a stopped and the nudging has ceased, red diamond jackpot symbols might be visible at the top of the😄 reels. If there is a jackpot symbol in view above each reel on top of a winning stack, you will😄 be awarded the lowest jackpot prize of the visible jackpot symbols. For example, if you see 2 x Mega Jackpot😄 symbols and 1 x Midi Jackpot symbol, you'll win the Midi Jackpot. The exact same thing will also happen if😄 3 jackpot symbols land on the single payline.
The standard version offers 3 jackpots: mini, midi and mega which are worth😄 40x, 200x and 10,000x respectively. In the Superpot version, the mini and midi jackpots are the same as on the😄 standard version, but instead of a mega jackpot, it offers a local progressive jackpot (a local jackpot is not shared😄 across several casinos, only where it is hosted).
Grand Spinn (NetEnt): Verdict
Looking at the statistics, which NetEnt has kindly supplied us😄 with, the 96.19% RTP is distributed as follows: line wins (86.97%), mini jackpot (4.69%), midi jackpot (1.56%) and mega jackpot😄 (2.98%). On a further note, if you're wondering what the odds of trigger the mega jackpot are, you're looking at😄 a frequency of 1 in 167.770 spins, which is not as bad as it sounds actually. The max payout in😄 the base game (not counting any jackpots) is supposedly 7040 times your stake, but seeing that it would require you😄 to land a wild line along with all the nudges the game has to give, don't count on it ever😄 happening.
Grand Spinn is a slot that shares some basic similarities with Diamond Empire, a 3-reel art nouveau-themed slot developed for😄 Microgaming by Triple Edge Studios. NetEnt's version, we have to say, is significantly better as it, not only offers superior😄 artwork and features, the potential is also much more appealing. Admittedly, we're not huge fans of 3-reel slots, in particular😄 not single payline versions. Nevertheless, Grand Spinn stands out as one of the better we've ever played, which means that😄 if you're into these type of slots, NetEnt's offering won't disappoint.
