Pimp my Slot

In this review we're going to look at the excellent five reel slot game, Pimp my Slot. We'd just like to take a moment however to ask you to really think about how you'd Pimp a Slot game; would you spray it different colours, or maybe add some clever mirrors and screens. Of course, we all know that most experienced slot game players would only be interested in Pimping a slot game in terms of rigging the game in their favour, so perhaps that's why we've not seen an MTV show based around this concept!

The game itself is a very, very well put together slot with amazingly detailed reel symbols, full of bling together with animations that feature many frames in a complex, almost film quality movement. As you'd expect from a game that revolves around the 'gangster' Hip-Hop ideal of the Pimp, the sound track is top notch. Pimp my Slot features wonderful scatter symbols (a girl in a blue bikini sitting on the hood of a car) together with a wild multiplier symbol that looks a little like US rapper X-hibit, who currently hosts the US incarnation of the Pimp my Ride show. It's interesting to note that UK developers didn't localise this machine with a Tim Westwood reel symbol; we can only wonder why.

Not only do the scatter symbols look good (as we've mentioned before) but they also hold the key to entering a whole new world of slot fun. No, unfortunately it's not a virtual lap-dance, but a free spin game that's almost as good. Stop in three or more scatters on the board and you'll find all fifteen reel symbols on the board change into hidden cards. Simply turn these over to reveal an amount of free spins until a game start icon appears, then take a drive over to the free spin reels. These are the same as the ordinary game reels with the addition of 'sticky' wilds. This is where wilds stick to the reels in the place where they stopped in, with a number (between 1 and 11) underneath the wild corresponding to the number of spins it'll stick around for.

The second bonus game on Pimp my Slot is activated with the feature symbol; a silver plated hubcap. The wild symbol can double up on a pay-line as the feature symbol giving you more ways to access this fun little sub game. Traverse three spinning silver concentric hub caps, with the aim of accessing the centre to win the big diamond prize that lies on the spinning axel of this exciting bonus.

It seems no slot game is complete these days without the double or nothing gamble, it's no surprise this sub game is featuring more and more in slot games as one of the most popular games in the whole casino, Roulette, is based on this concept. You can gamble any win up to £62,500 (and you'll see why this amount was chosen in a moment) on the next ace to be drawn from a deck. Gamble on colour and you'll double your money, gamble on suit however, and you could win a whopping four times your money making the top prize on offer from this machine a cool quarter of a million.

The game also offers three fantastic progressive jackpots; the mini, midi and maxi prizes. Stop in a corresponding three, four or five symbols to win the equivalent progressive prize, as if this machine didn't offer enough petrol to drive even the most hardened slot jockey to play again and again.

So if you still don't think this slot game is worth a spin after all we've written, we'd suggest you get down the local library and pimp your brain, as there are very few slots in the showroom that offer this kind of cash horsepower.
