Black & White Slot Machine
Here we have a very luxurious classic slot machine to interact with, the shackles of dreary designs shaken off by the developers over at iSoftBet; they have created a game that is as striking as it is gratifying.
In a gaming world where there are all manner of games available, there are of course many retro titles to choose from, but none quite have the stage presence as Black & White. As minimal as its name, this game has just four symbols and no bonuses. In fact, there are no special symbols whatsoever. It’s so crisp and clean that we find the prospect of back to basics gaming all the more charming with these 3 reels laid out before us.
Graceful
There’s nothing innovative about a 3x3 matrix. It’s been seen dozens of times over, and yet the way this one has been displayed makes us feel as if we’re discovering a new style of online slot for the first time. Perhaps it’s the fact that vintage slots of this caliber are hardly ever seen nowadays, with many a brand simply looking to make a quick buck rather than a solid game…?
Despite the reels playing an important role, it’s actually the pay table that dominates the screen we’re given, with the grid taking a backseat. By placing the emphasis on what can be won, you look past any niggling doubts and jump right on in; we know that we did. What is more, (upon the pay table) the top prize is highlighted in white so as to draw your eyes before you look anywhere else. It works a charm.
Distinguished
Much like a distinguished guest at a dinner party, this is a game that beguiles you with its promise of affluence and style. Even when we come across something about them that we’ve seen before, in this case the BAR symbol, it bothers us not that it’s been utilized more than once.
The BAR tile will always need three of a kind to win, but it’s whether it’s stacked that makes all the difference; if you find one upon each line, you will be given between 5 and 15 credits. However, should you get three of a kind of the double BAR icon, you get a larger payout of between 10 and 30 coins. It probably sounds more complicated than it really is, a trait that needs to be seen in action instead of just read.
These monochrome symbols aren’t what gets you close to the big league money though, for that’s the red filigree 7s, the black swirls surrounding each number subtle yet enhancing. Should a user get three of these, they will see their wallets bursting with either 500, 1,000 or 2,500 credits.
So by now you’re probably wondering why the diverse change in the returns? It’s because of how many coins you can use when placing a bet. A lot of iSoftBet activities have a system where you not only determine the value of the coins, but also how many of them you play; in this case, three coins is the top amount.
Therefore, if you want to go for gold and be showered with riches, you need to make the ultimate stake. It’s scarier than it sounds as the most it’ll cost you is 6 credits.
Suave
As if this slot couldn’t ooze anymore grace, it then has a clutter free control panel for us to work with, and if there’s one thing we adore, it’s having an easy to use interface. From this hub you can auto spin, manually spin, place the maximum bet, change the number of coins, and then tweak the value of your wager.
You’ll always be aware of what you’re playing, what you’re winning and what you’ve lost thanks to the display of information provided on the left hand size. All slot machines have them, but sometimes they’re not as clearly presented as this one.
A Grand Farewell
After you’ve played Black & White, it’s hard to know whether you’ll feel the urge to do so again. If you haven’t experienced the jackpot you may feel desperate enough to keep seeking it, but otherwise this game is a one hit wonder. This isn’t a criticism of just this title however, for a lot of online activities operate in the same way.
