Fast £50
You don’t see a lot of £50 notes in the UK. They exist alright, but try pulling one out in the pub to buy a round and they’ll look at you suspiciously before running a UV pen over it to make sure you’re not scamming them. Compare that to mainland Europe where 50 and 100 euro notes are used all the time everywhere.
Although Fast £50 is the name of this game, its logo features the full name of the currency for the market it’s been designed for. So in the case of the UK, that means the logo reads Fast £50 and the notes that are depicted on the board are all British £50 notes.
Let’s Talk Pounds
Pounds will be used for the purposes of this review then, but the same holds true whether your default currency is dollars or euros or whatever. “Win up to £8,000” proclaims the banner at the bottom of the screen, while an animated display shows nine bundles of red £50 notes banded in red as if they’d come straight from a bank, which is indeed the likeliest place they’ll be sourced seeing how British cash machines don’t dispense anything larger than a 20. Fast £50 is a game that’s “Exploding with £50 prizes”.
About Tree Fiddy
To profit from this game you’ll need to match three identical symbols, just as you do in all games of this nature. There are nine wads of £50 notes in all, nine being the preferred number with scratch cards as it allows for a 3x3 grid to be created. The aim of the game is always the same – to match three to win – and the RTP of these games and their rules tends to be quite similar. Although you can play a game like Fast £50 on desktop and it will work, it’s clearly been built with a mobile audience in mind. Scratch cards invariably are.
While data speeds and WiFi access has improved dramatically, mobile gaming is still more susceptible to lag when you’re on the go. As a result, the ideal sort of online casino game to play on mobile is one that loads quickly and won’t use up all your data. That’s why scratch cards tend to be so popular. That and the fact that these games can be completed quickly, so you can squeeze in a few games when you’re on the bus or queueing in the supermarket, adds to their appeal. Fast £50 is extremely quick to load and quick to complete. Three clicks are all it takes to find out your fate. It’s that easy.
Scratch and Match
Every time you click on one of the £50 bundles, it will indeed explode just as promised. The amount you’ll win if you match three of these symbols will then be revealed. It could be £5, £10 or £500 – or anywhere above or below that. You have multiple goes to try and succeed, so it’s not as if your first three selections have to be the three that match. Due to the nature of this game, it can quickly get repetitive, but then the same can be said of all games of this nature.
Sure, more could have been done with the animations to liven things up, but it’s not critical. There’s audio too, and the option to mute said audio. You might decide that it’s worth doing just that. It’s inoffensive but it’s also minimal and doesn’t really add anything to the playing experience. Far better to silence it and turn up your own tunes while you get to work.
Simplicity a Strength
As mobile-compatible instant win scratch cards go, Fast £50 is perfectly reasonable. It does its job with the minimum of fuss and it gives you the chance to win up to £8,000, or 8,000 coins rather. It’s called Fast £50 and Fast £50s are what you’ll win here with a little luck. This is the sort of game that you could easily play on your mobile while skiving at work or commuting, on a long journey or killing time at an airport.
Its simplicity is actually its strength, for with nothing to distract you and just 9 identical symbols to click on, you don’t even need to give this game your full attention in order to play it. If you’re an avid gambler and multi-tasker then, Fast £50 should appeal, whether you choose to play for fun or to play for real money, scooping up wins big and small as you go.
