Andre the Giant NextGen Gaming

When I was still a schooling boy, I loved to watch wrestling matches on TV, but after knowing that those matches were mostly for entertainment only, meaning, the winners of the matches have been predetermined, I began to lose interest in them. Only those real Title bouts would be worth watching, but that never got my interest back till today. Hence this Andre game didn't and couldn't get my interest either, even though playing the game itself wasn't that bad or that boring. Nevertheless, the outcome of the matches with this Andre The Giant would almost always be the same, and predetermined - I would lose! Hahaha.

Anyway, NextGen games have never been a favourite of mine, except for 300 Shields game, and this Andre's game is no exception. Andre, the Wild symbol, for example, is not only a non-paying symbol, but it doesn't even double any wins with it - certainly not to my liking at all! Yeah, it does expand to become a full Wild Reel with wins, but that alone is never good enough for me. Luckily, the Scatter symbol pays a nice 200x the total bet for getting 5 of them, and the highest paying regular symbol also pays the same amount, so that improves back my impressions on this game. However, getting 3 or more Scatter symbols to get 10 free spins that has no multiplier and cannot even be retriggered, sucks too.

Okay, so the paytable isn't a good one, only average at best, so most of the payouts from this game would also be average at best. I've played this game a few times over the years, without getting any single withdrawable win, needless to say, so I've never been impressed in any way. Suffice to say, playing the game can be quite fun, and the Free Spins games can come quite frequently too when the going is good, but other than that, there's nothing else better to look out for, or to expect.

I find the Free Spins games to be quite disappointing most of the times, with very low payouts of between 10x up to 35x, and only rarely would wins of above 50x total bet could be achieved. My best win so far is only 120x my bet amount, the one and only win of above 100x, so I certainly won't be trying to get better wins. Yes, I may play this game again, just to pass away the time, or because there's nothing better for me to do, but that's about all of it.

"Andre the Giant" is a slot inspired by the world of wrestling that in one way or another crossed my path but never before I had decided to play it and I do not know why, it may be that its appearance resulted not very appealing to me, but now I realize I was missing out on an action-packed slot, pretty fun indeed and offering a good chance to earn some credits on the casino.

This slot was developed by "Nyx Interactive" and distributed online through the Microgaming Quickfire platform; its layout is 5 x 3 reels, it has 25 paylines and the player can choose his bet level between $ 0.01; $ 0.02; $ 0.05; $ 0.10; $ 0.20; $ 0.25; $ 0.50 and $ 1 per line, being so few levels, it is advisable to plan how we will increase our bet throughout the game. The pay table is ok for me considering the behavior of wild symbol and the potential of its special feature.

The wild symbol is the image of Andre and appears only on reels 2 and 4; it functions as substitute for standard symbols and further it expands throughout the reel each occurrence, and since it is a very active symbol it contributes a lot to improve the hit average of the game. The special feature is triggered by the appearance of 3 or more logo scatters and gives 10 free spins, during them, additional to profits generated by successful combinations, we can collect "Special Attack Moves" wherever they appear small red icons glued on some symbols only on reel 5; at the end of your spins, you must choose the contender for Andre and must use each of collected special attacks to defeat him, if you get three successful attacks, you are entitled to an extra attack to make the KO; every successful attack means more prizes for you.

"Andre the Giant" has left a very good first impression on me, not only because of the potential for profit it has, but because it is also fun and adrenaline-charged game, I hope you will not miss it.

Oh, i will be the first who will review this nice game from nextgen, okay, it is always a pleasure to be first, at least in such thing. Andre the giant slot is interesting in my opinion, to be honest i not often visit this game, but i like it, and spend there few hours of my gameplay in total.

First time i played this game at skill on net brands, can't remember exact name casino, but i hope this is not so important. Base game on this slot not so interesting to be honest, but still can provide some nice wins, due to expanded wilds on 2 and 4 reels. My best result in base game is a bit less than 100 x, and this ok for me. Feature on this game is very interesting, player gets 10 free spins with multiplier plus on last reels can appear different symbols which will be used on bonus game after free spins, where you can add some extra cash to your initial free spins win. I never had bad run with this game, i think it is medium variance slot, and you can except long time gameplay.

Game is absolutely not boring, everything done nice and looks great. My best win after feature is around x 300 total bet, and for medium variance game this is awesome result. Also once i had 500 euro left to wager and clear bonus, and had 200 euros on my balance, i start playing this game at 1 euro spins, and after 500 spins i had the same 200 euros on my account, and this is proves that this game can be good when you need to clear some wagering requirements.

I like this game, like feature, and it is always a pleasure to give this game few spins. Like almost all other nextgen games this is cool slot, and i rate it with 8 stars.
