Silicon Spinners Slot Review

Most slot games are about as original as a Facebook meme. You've seen one; you've seen them allšŸ˜’. But Silicon Spinners from AvatarUX is different.

It's satirical, over-the-top, and surprisingly critical of the biggest tech industry giants. Bezos is holding a bottle of suspiciously yellow liquid. This game is like a massive digital middle finger to the billionaires trying to control our lives, one targeted ad at a timešŸ–•.

So, if you're tired of the same old boring slots and are ready to stick it to the man (or, you know, the Zuck), this is the game for you. Don't blame me if you start seeing targeted ads for slot games after playing itšŸ˜….

Gameplay

The tech millionaires come out to play in Silicon Spinners slot. The high-paying symbols are Musk, Bezos, Gates, and Zuckerman. The medium-paying symbols are a brain-rotted guy looking at a phone, a guy in phone jail, and messages and emojis.

The Wild symbol is an ad blocker that can substitute for all the symbols except the Bonus and Super Bonus symbols. Wild symbols only appear on reels 1 and 6 and unlock the Hot Bonus position on the Zap Reel, the horizontal reel above the regular reels.

The Bonus and Super Bonus are bald, featureless heads with a side-eye look. The Bonus has a blue background, and the Super Bonus has a gold background. They only appear in the Hot Bonus positions above reels 1 and 6 on the Zap Reel.

The Zap Reel is a whole feature, which I'll explain under the Features section.

The game starts with 6 reels and 3 rows. When you hit a win, the winning symbol is replaced by 2 random symbols, increasing the height of the reel to a maximum of 7 rows and the number of ways up to 46,656 ways to win.

If you fully unlock the reels in the base game, you're awarded 2 Free Spins.

This is a high-volatility game with a 96% RTPRTP stands for ā€œReturn to Player.ā€ The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a gameā€™s volatility rate.
. You can bet as low as $0.10 and as high as $10. Don't fret over the low betting range, though, because a 20,000x max multiplier can lead to this game's top payout of $200,000.

Features

ZAP REEL REWARDS

On each spin, this horizontal reel spins from right to left, and a new set of symbols, including regular symbols and 4 possible Zap Reel Rewards, appears.

The Sync Reels: This up-and-down arrow and a cloud symbol can sync 2 to 4 regular reels that land the same set of symbols for that round.

The Mystery Reel: This is a blacked-out hacker symbol that can affect 2 to 4 regular reels and fill them with the same random regular symbol. If a win is formed, the new symbols will remain the same until the end of the round.

The Win Multiplier: This symbol only activates if winning symbols are beneath it. A random multiplier: 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, or 100x is applied to all wins on the reel beneath it. If there is more than 1 Win Multiplier, they are multiplicative (e.g., 2x and 3x become 6x).

The Symbol Multiplier: Any regular symbol with a multiplier value attached. If it forms part of a win on the regular reels, its multiplier is applied to the win.

GAMBLE WHEEL

Before Free Spins are played, you can increase the number of Free Spins. You're taken to a new screen with a Wheel. You can choose to gamble or accept your initial number of Free Spins.

If you gamble and win on the first Wheel, you're given 10 Free Spins, and 1 guaranteed Wild every spin or a choice to spin again on the second Wheel. Win on the second Wheel, and you will get 12 Free Spins and 2 guaranteed Wilds for every spin.

A loss on either Wheel returns to the base game.

There is a gold slice on both Wheels. The first Wheel awards 12 Free spins and 2 Wilds each spin, and the second Wheel awards 15 Free Spins with 2 guaranteed Wilds each spin.

FREE SPINS

Landing 2 Bonus symbols will award an initial 8 Free Spins. Landing a Bonus and a Super Bonus will trigger 10 Free Spins with 1 guaranteed Wilds per spin. If you trigger Free Spins with 2 Super Bonus symbols, you're awarded 12 Free Spins and 2 Wilds per spin.

Landing a Bonus symbol awards 1 to 3 additional Free Spins. A Super Bonus symbol will grant you 2 to 4 additional Free Spins. Fully unlocking all the reels awards 4 extra Free Spins.

Reel expansion doesn't fully reset between Free Spins. They only reset to the shortest reel height.

BUY BONUS

You can buy a spin on the Gamble Wheel for 100x your bet and award up to 15 Free Spins with 2 Wilds per spin. Or you can skip directly to 8 Free Spins for 100x your bet.
For 400x your bet, you get 12 Free Spins with 2 guaranteed Wilds per spin.

ANTE BET

For an additional 0.5x your bet, you can make every spin 3 times more likely to trigger Free Spins naturally.

Performance

This game performed better than the people it lampoons on my Android phone and gaming laptop.

Maximum Win

The most you can win here is $200,000 off of a $10 bet if you can hit the game's highest possible multiplier of 20,000x your bet. The lowest you can bet is $0.10 a pop.

Conclusion

Another game offers a Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). Bonus, Charming Coin Link: Running Wins slot, which allows you to earn up to $300,000 off a $15 bet if you reach the game's similar max multiplier of 20,000x.

Although a Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen.

Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too)., even with additional features to help boost your winnings, isn't quite the same as a round of Free Spins, with guaranteed Wild symbols.

The features that sync reels, add a reel with the same symbols, and award Win or symbol multipliers are available throughout the base game and Free Spins. That being said, this is a high-volatility game.

I had to wade through many dead spins or tiny wins during testing until I eventually scored something decent.

The game lets you gamble for additional Free Spins, which did not work out for me. I tried it many times, triggering Free Spins naturally and using the Gamble Wheel Buy Bonus, and I lost more than I won.

Why gamble when you can play your initial 8 Free Spins and extend your run during the feature? You're also not guaranteed to make your money back or even profit from the Buy Bonus Gamble Wheel. It's too risky in my mind.

The highest win is outstanding for just a $10 bet, paired with the original and amusing theme; this is definitely a recommendation.
