Big City Night Slots
The idea of going out for a big night on the town, packing a head full of dreams and a pocket full of expandable cash is accompanied perfectly (and we mean perfectly), by that of taking a chance on some tasty odds and coming up trumps to walk away from the table with even more of that lovely cash in your pockets.
There are fewer more brilliant feelings on the human emotional spectrum than excitement. Excitement is what continues to drive individuals towards their goals, inspire them to keep up their passions and enable them to realise what is most important to them as time passes and their lives continue to go on. In turn, fewer things are as exciting to many as the feeling that fills the air in the run up to a big night on the tiles. This excitement is first experienced and harnessed in our late teens, craved throughout our twenties and continually dipped into from there onwards.
So then, wouldn’t it be brilliant if there were a slot game that combined the joys of a big night on the town and the thrill of a big win out of nowhere? Well yes, yes it would be. And, it just so happens we’ve recently discovered one that does just that.
The Games Theme
Big City Night is a highly interactive video slot based upon 5 separate and independent spinning reels and a total of 20 pay lines. The general feel and theme of the game is that of being ‘out on the town looking for some action’ and we’ve got to say that the game’s developers – the prestigious SGS Universal – seem to have delivered, that much is obvious from the second you tap in your settings and set the reels to spin.
All of the reels are decorated with a host of highly alluring symbols, including though in no way whatsoever limited to: a steaming pot of coffee, a VW Beetle and some mysterious dice, as well as some far more elaborate items such as a post box and even the iconic Hong Kong city landscape! The background of the reels is a lovely clean and fresh white set against a vibrant purple game scape, both of which really work hard to allow the symbols to stand out and shine.
When you’re playing a game that has a theme set around a glorious and fun night on the tiles, of course you’re going to want there to be mixed elements of both mystery and safety – and this game manages to deliver on both fronts. Before you even arrive at the stage of placing your first wager, you will be overcome with a whole host of wonderful feelings about the way the game looks, feels and sounds.
All of the Rest, All of the Best
Now we move onto the real meat and potatoes of the game, the subject of what lies beneath the games splendid and highly intuitive surface. So then, what have we got? Well for starters, we should probably make it clear that the Big City Night video slot features – for the most part – many of the same items and symbols that you’d find within another game of the same 5-reel and 20-payline constitution.
The game is home to a host of wild, scatter and standard symbols all of which serve their own purposes across the pay lines and, when lined up in a certain way and formed into various combinations, will unlock any number of wonderful pay outs and bonuses.
The aforementioned VW Beetle is the games highest paying symbols, the Street Sign is the games wild card and the Mystery Win symbols provides the game with, somewhat anticlimactically mind you, a host of multipliers at the rate of 40x, 200x and 1,000x (a little more climax worthy, perhaps?). Furthermore, three or more Happy Mail scatter symbols will transport the player to the bonus game which offers a host of free spin opportunities.
Standard Stuff
There’s no denying that Big City Night is a game which is packing a whole lot of heat in terms of the theme and the accessibility/ease of play it offers to players, however there’s not a great deal of originality to be found here in terms of the games mechanics.
The numerous features waiting to be unlocked and the routes that must be taken towards unlocking them are both modelled on the vast majority of games already released by this developer. Though there’s no real issue with this (after all why fix what isn’t broken?) it just lets the wider theme down a little to get past the initial excitement of the theme to find there’s no new ground being broken here.
