Play Sterling for Free

As is the norm with Simbat slot games, Sterling follows their design template of creating games that emulate what the machines would look like in a real life casino. All the in-play buttons are positioned along the foot of the machine. The background to the machine, though, is stylish, as it’s a pink wheel positioned directly behind the reels. They dominate the machine's visual in terms of their size and players will be hard pushed to miss it.

In terms of the icons featured in the paytable, they are renowned slot machine symbols that players will no doubt instantly recognise. In the basic version, players will only need to match two of the same symbols in the active line to trigger a payout. In ascending order in terms of their value, these icons are: tomatoes, lemons, oranges, plums, strawberries, clovers, blueberries, watermelons, red stars, golden bells and a bar sign on a blue and yellow background.

The paytable for the top version of the game is clearly displayed to the right of the reels, but be warned, players will need to match all 3 symbols in one of the 5 lines to win.

There are a couple of in-play features that are sure to appeal to slot machine fans. Firstly, players have the chance to double their winnings thanks to a heads or tails feature that is exclusive to the basic version of the game. The icons for this, which are black and positioned in the bottom right hand corner, will begin to flash after a player has won.

Should the winner wish to try and double their winnings – a maximum of 100 credits – they just need to click the infographic that represents their choice and hope for the best. It'll either double or lose the player’s winnings, so let's hope the coin is on players' side!

Another feature where players can influence the result is the three hold buttons that are located below each of the basic reels. Their function is simple and, as suggested by their title, allow players the chance to influence the reels by preventing one or two of them to turn in the next play. It may be best to hold on to them in the hope that a full line can be completed in the following spins.

Is it best for players to try and influence the result or leave it to chance? Whatever a player’s opinion on that, the Sterling slot game offers a choice.

In the basic and Top versions of the game, mystery payouts of up to 200 credits are possible. Players need to spin those reels to find out if they are eligible, and the mystery payouts could happen at any moment.

In honesty, Sterling (like the currency at the moment), is hardly packing a punch. But if you’re after a simple game that’s easy to get started on, cash in on Sterling.
