Manic Millions Slot Machine
The prospect of getting millions of euros would make anyone manic, but in Manic Millions it seems to have sent this mad scientist over the edge. Based on the classic tale of Frankenstein, the 5 reels and 25 pay lines provide a rich tapestry of 3D animations for users to engage with.
NextGen is one of the big providers in the slot machine world, and as such they’re expected to create outstanding titles that are as immersive as they are rewarding. Sometimes they succeed and other times they miss the mark, but with Manic Millions they couldn’t have hit the nail on the head more perfectly.
Dripping with crazed ambition and potions brewing in every bottle, Igor and Frankenstein work hard to create five of a kind winning combinations, all with the aim of obtaining the top prize of €1,250. And that’s just the initial jackpot, this can actually grow thanks to the various scatters and free spins.
Secret Laboratory
This is no dusty old room filled with failing equipment, this is a high tech secret lab that any aspiring scientist would be delighted to find in their home. The air itself is charged with raw power, while the fumes from the latest successful potion floods the room and makes you dizzy.
In a bid to find the ultimate formula to make riches out of thin air, Frankenstein has built a metal 3x5 matrix of images, each of the symbols having their own worth in the grand scheme of the pay table. The design has been created to ensure that a mere grouping of three tiles can gift you money, though the best pay outs come with a match of five.
Impressed by his success so far, our scientifically minded friend stands to one side, mixing concoctions as he goes, his eyes darting between you and his work. He’ll probably blow himself up without your help, not even Igor and his special features able to help him.
Throw the Switches!
Bringing anything to life, inanimate object or not, takes a huge charge of electricity, which is why you have an electricity bill that could rival the Queen’s. Thank goodness Igor helps pay the fees, otherwise Frankenstein would be out on his ear. Not that that means that a small helping fee won’t be of assistance here; the starting wager is valued at 0.01 per pay line, which works out at 0.25 in all. Increasing the money isn’t a hassle though, as there’s handy up and down arrows attached to the silver and gold coins upon the control panel. Use the up arrow to increase the stake, or opt for the Max Bet to jump to the very top.
For your convenience, there’s also an Auto play option available, with a slider setting the number of rounds that come into effect; you can have between 1 and 100. Upon selecting the waves, you click save and put the automatic spins to work. If only every slot machine operated so efficiently.
Helpful Igor
Having an assistant can’t hurt, but Igor has proven to be an invaluable find. Not only is he willing to put his life in danger, but he can control the whims of the wilds and scatters too. In both the base game and the feature one.
An additional wild can be added into the mix by Igor when you’re in the normal levels of the title, though if you’re in the free spins mode, he can add as many as three anywhere he likes. He can also do similar with the scatter symbol, in the base game, however his capabilities are limited to the second, third and fourth reels.
Then there’s the free spins themselves, though these aren’t brought on by Igor, but instead by between three and five scatter symbols. These 10 extra games can be retriggered during the course of their play through, making them doubly rewarding.
Ongoing Project
The quest for millions isn’t going to happen overnight, and so Manic Millions will likely be an ongoing project than an instant success, but no matter as it’s buckets of fun to play. NextGen have done an exceptional job with this title, so much so that we’re off in search of more top notch games like this one.
