Paradise Reels Slot
If you’ve been looking for a means of finding paradise, you may have been looking in the wrong places e.g. everywhere else but Eyecon and their 5-reel, 9-payline slot machine titled Paradise Reels.
The idea of our own little haven, a space in which we can escape, is very personal to each of us, but there are some features that seem generic, most commonly being sun, sea and sand. With this title you have all that and then lovely reels filled with cash prizes thrown in for that finishing touch.
Classic yet contemporary, fast paced yet relaxing, this online activity is one that will win the hearts of many before it even comes down to that 5,000 coins jackpot. Think of all the coconut cocktails you can buy and slurp on when you have that kind of money to hand - you’ll be able to pay someone to crack open the nuts for you!
Vitamin Sea and Sand
There is a sort of plain beauty about the matrix that presents itself that immediately has us relaxing into our armchairs and letting go of all that tension after a long day or week at work. This is in spite of the general aesthetic being that of a cartoon and not of realism, which goes to show how powerful an ideal (and game) paradise is.
Moving onto the symbols and what to expect, players have a mix of traditional and tropical themed imagery, combining the past and present; this seems to be an emerging trend among software developers, though some achieve it better than others. This example is one of the better we’ve come across.
You will see tasty looking fruits such as watermelons, oranges and cherries, followed by a sumptuous kiwi as the wild and a creamy coconut as the bonus icon. After that there are only card values and the number 7 left for you to discover upon those rolling paylines. The A is the icon that brings in the most money, that 5,000 jackpot mentioned earlier, though you need five matches to get it. If you only match three or four you’ll get a much smaller figure of 100 or 1,000. At the opposite end of the scale you have the cherries that bag you a measly 9.00 credits.
As you’ve come to know (and love) wilds for, they remove and replace all tiles apart from themselves and the bonus. The bonus however, will do something different and take you to a new window where eight coconuts wait for you; you need to keep cracking them open until you match three of the values inside. Once that happens the game will end and the amount will be added to your total. It’s a gentle paced mini level that you can’t help but savour.
The Price of Paradise
Your beginning stake here is a very very small 0.01 which allows every gamer imaginable, even those on a tight budget, to be able to at least have one game or maybe even two. And at the top end of the amount you have 10.00 credits, again an amount that many users will be able to surrender for the sake of entertainment. To set it to the figure you want, just keep clicking that red ‘Stake per line’ widget and the amount will increase or reset to the start if you tap too far.
After you know how much you want to bet, it’s worth checking the number of paylines you’ve got rigged for the game - although there are nine you don’t have to play with all of them. Though be warned that reducing that number also reduces the chances of getting a winning combo, simply as there’s less room for the matching icons to land on. You can tap through each of the lines individually or select the ‘Max Lines’ toggle, which is much easier if you want all in.
A True Getaway or a Lacklustre Break?
Paradise Reels is more the former than the latter in our humble opinion - it has some fantastic cash rewards, an appealing though basic theme, an easy to navigate user interface, and a soothing soundtrack of realistic sounds. There is nothing to dislike about this slot machine from Eyecon, but if it isn’t for you why not look at some of the others they have on offer? There is a fair amount to choose from.
