We’re not going to beat about the bush – we know we have one of the most impressive collections of slots and casino games out there, and this is highlighted by some of the biggest headline slots from some of the most high profile developers out there. We’re talking about your Gonzo’s Quests and your Foxin’ Wins, games which every player is familiar with, and which get played countless times a day.
However, this post isn’t going to be about those big name, instead we’re going to hold a torch up to those lesser talked about games which have so much to offer, but for one reason or another, tend to stay off the radar of the average player most of the time. So here’s us raising a glass to all those side-lined slots which just need a chance on the field to prove how much they have to offer (sorry about all the mixed metaphors).
Time Is Money – Realistic Games
In the capitalistic world in which we live, the mantra ‘time is money’ speaks of the temporal pressures we all suffer under. Realistic Games, however, have given the saying a new meaning with a clockwork themed slot which brings the world of gambling together with the world of horology in the most fantastic way. When this game was released earlier this year, critics didn’t think a whole lot of it, but in the hands of player, it’s found quite a cult following of those who love the theme, graphics and winning potential.
The gameplay itself is refreshingly simplistic, with not too many features gumming up the works. There are a couple of key features there to keep players engaged, including the all extra spins rounds. Keep an eye out for the ‘Time Is Money’ slot scatters; if you manage to find 3, 4 or 5, you’ll get an impressive 12, 24 or 48 extra spins; what’s more, further scatters within the extra spins round will increase the number available to you!
Jungle Jackpots: Mowgli’s Wild Adventure – Blueprint Games
Who doesn’t love the Jungle Book? The timeless tale of talking creatures deep in the heart of the jungle has caught the imagination of readers (and later, with the film adaptations, viewers) for well over a century now. But we’re in the 21st century now, and in the 21st century, we turn things into slots, which is why it’s entirely proper that Blueprint Games has brought us a fantastic slots adaptation of the classic tale.
The big headline about Jungle Jackpots: Mowgli’s Wild Adventure is the vast number of bonuses on offer. There’s a bunch of characters represented in the game, each with their own bonuses associated with their appearance. That’s why, on top of wilds you’ll discover Mowglis’ Cash Trail, Baloo’s Cash Bonus, Baloo’s Colossal Spins and Bagheera’s Extra Spins. Check out the game for yourself to discover what all these great bonuses do.
Symmetry – Realistic Games
The second entry into our list to come to our casino courtesy of Realistic Games is Symmetry. It’s perfectly understandable that a number of players were put off this slot owing to its somewhat out of fashion mosaic background and somewhat dingy theme and appearance, but anyone who dismissed Symmetry offhand without giving it a go are missing out on one of the hidden gems of the Fortune Frenzy roster.
The reels are adorned with gems, ruby hearts and bars of gold, and these aspirational reminders of wealth aren’t an empty promise – there’s a lot of winning potential in this otherwise pretty unassuming game. The five reel, ten payline game not only features two spectacular bonus rounds (which we’ll leave you to discover yourself), but also includes the opportunity to win up to 500 times your initial stake!
Shamrock And Roll – Nektan
Here at Fortune Frenzy, we’re proud to run on Nektan software, which is why we wouldn’t feel right unless we highlighted one of the best games to come from that world-class developer. Our pick might seem like a run of the mill ‘Luck of the Irish’ themed slot, but the ingenious team behind it were never going to leave you with just a standard game – there’s plenty of little surprises in this enigmatic slot filled with personality.
There’s wilds, extra spins and even re-spins to be enjoyed in the game, and you can even win as much as 1,000x your initial stake if you hit the top jackpot. This is certainly one of those games you can’t just judge on first appearances. On top of all this, one of the best aspects of Shamrock and Roll is the super high return to player rate of 96.3%! That’s some seriously decent winning potential.
Wild Toro – Elk Studios
The final game in our list of the top 5 most overlooked slots at Fortune Frenzy come from a developer you probably spend far too little of your time thinking about – Elk Studios. In the style of Hemingway before it, Wild Toro is a celebration of the visceral energy and adrenaline fueled excitement of the life of a matador… In the form of a slot… With cartoon bulls… Ok, it might be a little silly, but we can’t get enough of it.
This game put some players off with its lack of extra spins and multipliers (I mean, uh, come on, what game doesn’t have extra spins and multipliers in this day and age?), but in our eyes it’s far more than redeemed with its Matador Re-spins (which are basically just re-spins), Walking Wilds (you’ll never guess where they’re heading) and the exciting and enigmatic Toro Goes Wild round (a compelling bonus round we’ll let you explore for yourself).
