Play Shopping Mania for Free

The three lovely ladies you’ll be spending the day with all have contrasting ideas of fashion and what’s ‘in’ right now. Sometimes one will favour all pink in the ultimate girly ensemble, while later on it’s all things punk, with mohawks and nose piercings at the ready. These girls are eclectic and forward thinking.

The beauty of this online game isn’t just being able to look at clothes, it’s being able to get money back from what you spend; shopping is great, but you don’t get your cash returned to you. You instead get a new outfit to parade around and then get tired of. Who wants that? It’s much better to pay a small fee and get tons of cash back, for you to then spend on even more winning lines and fresh fashion combos.

No shop is out of bounds here, and no price is too high!

There are two bonuses available in this game, with the Shopping Bonus easily our favourite. To trigger this golden opportunity, you need to match at least three of the shopping bag symbols along your activate paylines. Once you’ve done that, you’ll have to make a very tough decision: who do you want to style?

Each of the girls has their distinctive look, and so the outfit choices will vary. You get to select their clothes, their shoes, accessories and so on, and at the end you’re given a printed receipt that has your winning total on. In one round we made over €300 back.

As for the second big bonus of Shopping Mania, the Bonus Pairs Round, this is a lot more difficult to unlock, mainly due to the small time frame in which you’re allowed to shop for the symbols.

It all starts off with a bonus stamp icon. Find just one of these and you’ll get a special stamp that allows you VIP access to the sales, the only problem is, these sales only last until a certain date. Players then have until the date given to find several more of these icons, with a minimum of three being needed; the calendar will count down so that you can keep track. No matter the date chosen (if it changes at all), you’ll have 30 spins.

Should you miss the sales, don’t worry too much as there’s plenty of extras across the paytable to keep you and your girls happy. Take the scatter for example, this tile can appear anywhere and will gift you a multiplied amount of your initial bet, up to x25 of what you paid. Then there’s the plain old card suits, bringing in between 5 and 100 credits, not bad for a low end sale rail.

Being low on funds shouldn’t be an issue with Shopping Mania as the pay-in is incredibly low at just €0.01 per winline, which if you have all 15, will amount to €15. This is assuming you only play one coin valued at this low price, if you instead opt for the maximum bet, your wager will be €150 instead.

The controls haven’t been well positioned next to one another, but you should be able to find all the toggles with ease.

There’s also a Double or Quit round to open up whenever you make a winning line; adopting the usual format of a card game, you need to guess what colour will come next. If you fail you lose all your winnings from that round, so make sure you’re certain you want to risk it all before playing.

Shopping Mania is the epitome of entertainment: it’s enjoyable, easy to play, looks surprisingly good, and brings in the cash. Then there are shoes and all sorts of other treats on top, meaning we can barely contain our excitement!

The best bits are the bonus rounds, particular the Shopping Bonus, but all of it is good fun.
