Spinions Game Day

Spinions Game Day: Slot Overview

Spinions Game Day from software provider Quickspin is the third outing of the cute orange characters, better known as the Spinions. If you've been following their exploits, you'll be aware of the gang's beach escapade, as well as their Christmas bash, and now they're engaging in a healthy outdoor activity. Spinions Game Day sees the Spinions join in the frivolity at a football match and has incorporated features to suit, including Passing Wild Re-Spins and Game Day Free Spins.

If you've played one of the previous slots, you should be prepared for the cuteness overload as the Spinions head to the field for Spinions Game Day. In the middle of the field is where the symbols hit; while watching from the sidelines are several Spinions sporting various hats and hairstyles. Trigger (or buy) free spins, and the game moves to a grander setting, where the action is capable of heating up in front of a bigger crowd. Just like the previous two slots, Spinions Game Day is a little bit silly, but that's all part of the charm and is an easy game to like; the Spinion characters are as effervescent as ever.

To get the ball rolling, so to speak, means picking a bet from 10 p/c to $/€100 per spin and hitting the play button. Any device may be used to sample the action, which takes place on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 paylines. Hitting three to five matching pay symbols on adjacent reels from the left-hand side of the grid on a payline results in a payout. Medium volatile, Spinions Game Day has a maximum default RTP value of 96.07% - be on the lookout for lower models, though.

Cracking open the paytable, 10 to Ace card ranks have been inserted as the lower-paying symbols, worth 2 times the stake for a five-of-a-kind winning payline, whereas getting five of the high pay whistles, hats, megaphones, gloves, or boots awards you 4 to 8 times the bet. Spinion wild symbols appear on all five reels as well, and in their most basic form, they either substitute for any normal pay symbol or create winning wild lines worth up to 12 times the stake for five of a kind.

Spinions Game Day: Slot Features

Wilds also play into the game's other two features – Passing Wild Re-Spins and Game Day Free Spins.

Passing Wild Re-Spins

If 2 or more Spinion wild symbols land on a single spin, the Passing Wild Re-Spins feature is triggered. The wilds remain on the pitch for the full duration of the Passing Wild Re-Spins feature, and if a fresh wild lands in view, another respin is awarded. Now, a football is added to the screen when this feature activates, and wilds move one position in a random direction on the following respin. The ball is passed to a random wild between spins. The wild that gets the ball has its multiplier increase by +1, which is applied to any following wins. When respins have concluded, any wins are paid, and the reels return to their normal arrangement.

Game Day Free Spins

Landing 3 scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 means players are awarded 10 Game Day Free Spins. During the bonus round, all wilds that land remain on the reels for the remainder of the feature, moving to a new position between free spins. When 2 or more wilds are in view, a football is added to the grid, which gets passed between wilds between free spins. Each time a wild receives the football, its multiplier is increased by +1. To draw out the round, hitting a scatter symbol on the rightmost reel tops players up with an additional +5 free spins.

The final point, for players in applicable markets, is that it may be possible to buy free spins for the cost of 60x the bet. The RTP when buying the feature is 96.54%.

Spinions Game Day: Slot Verdict

If you are in the mood for a relatively undemanding diversion, with the added bonus of potentially winning a few coins, then Spinions Game Day could be worth a look. A little like Minions, the Spinions have a certain innocent naivety that is hard to resist. These little Spiniony guys and gals just want to have a bit of fun, and players are more than welcome to join them if they so choose. The progression of beach to Christmas to football pitch is pretty random, but like the previous two slots, the Spinions effortlessly settle into their surroundings and make them their own, like a friend you can take anywhere who can talk to anyone.

Another pleasant thing about Spinions Game Day is it sort of uses the same features as the other two slots but has tweaked them to produce a different experience. Before, it was all about landing as many sticky Spinion wilds during respins to stack the screen for as large a payout as possible. This time, Quickspin has cleverly incorporated the sport of football by tossing a ball onto the pitch in an attempt to build wild multiplier values. It's a smart twist that melds subject matter and gameplay like a pair of well-fitting trousers. Even smarter in free spins, too, since Spinion wilds stay on the board, kicking the ball all around for the full duration of the feature for the chance to build wild multipliers. Spinions Game Day is a case of cuddly over colossal thrills, though, as max win tops out at 3,717 times the stake.

But hey, it's unlikely many players are going to pick Spinions Game Day to chase Premier League level payouts. Spinions are known for their artless charm and ability to have a good time wherever they happen to be. Spinions Game Day continues the tradition with aplomb, so if you enjoyed the antics these chaps and chapettes have gotten up to in the past; it shouldn't be difficult to enjoy this outing as well.
