Basic Instinct Slot iSoftBet

Is it me or is it hot in here?...Nope, it's Sharon Stone.

As a teenager I wasn't allowed to watch the movie Basic Instict. Back then, I lived with my grand parents and a few uncles. Though I was 13 the day this movie was on tv and I was eager to see it, my uncles specificly said I cannot see the movie because I wasn't old enough and they sent me off to bed. So I went to bed with a long face but I cannot sleep because I was too curious about the movie. After a few minutes I decided to sneak out through the window and take a peek via the window in the garden. Well, the movie was boring but Sharon Stone became my first crush.

Basic Instinct, a game from iSoftbet. I can't remember the first time I played this game but I recently played the game at LuckyCasino. Apparently, I had no luck the first time, otherwise I would remember it. On the second attempt I managed to trigger the bonus round and won about 110x bet. The game looked very nice, real movie characters were shown and that doesn't happen a lot. I believe most iSoftbet games that are based on movies or shows have real characters.

It also reminds me of Playtech's The Incredible Hulk because of the shining silver looking icons. It also reminds me of NetEnt's Crime Scene but that might be because of the badge, the gun and the handcuffs. When I played the game last week, I was wondering why the main game pays that low but then I saw the numbers 243 showed vertically. Though the main game pays low, the bonus feature could pay massively. Believe me, I have seen it, it was a bummer when I select the wrong icon on the bonus round. I really don't know if it's just a trick to make us play the game more but I strongly believe the prizes are real.

Basic Instinct is one of iSoftbet finest in my opinion and I will give this game a few more tries and who knows I might hit that massive win with only one click. I hope my teenage years crush won't literally crush me next time I play the game, that would be a disaster.

From the first time I played "Basic Instinct" this one became my favorite iSoftBet slot immediately, mainly by the amount and strength of its special features, although it would be unforgivable not to mention the very theme of this game exerts itself an inevitable attraction, mainly through pictures and movies where the beautiful Sharon Stone appears, I think this film besides being her masterpiece, was what ultimately made her a sex symbol at least for a couple of generations.

The pay table for this game is pretty decent considering that this is a video slot with 3 x 5 reels and with 243 ways to win, so it is sufficient that just one matching symbol per reel appears to form at least one line. As for the bet levels, the player can choose to bet 1, 2, 5, or 10 coins, and can also choose the value of each coin between $ 0.01, $ 0.02, $ 0.05 and $ 0.10.

Three different stacked wilds make up the special features kit of this great slot, and all they operate initially as substitute for standard symbols, but occupying the entire reel, activate their own round as well:

- Wild Bonus: here you must click on each mystery box, each of these boxes contains a prize, pretty decent in my opinion, and if you find a gun inside one of those boxes, then you get the prize called "Killer Progressive", which is the jackpot that all the time is accumulating in a meter located at the top right of the screen during the base game. This bonus round is terminated either by getting the jackpot or when you find a pair of handcuffs inside one of your mystery boxes, in which case all your awards are collected ant then added to your balance immediately.

- Free Spins: I do not know many slots to continually provide such an initial amount of free spins like this one and you can further re-trigger the feature in addition. The number of spins is determined randomly, and in my case I have been enjoying over 20 and even 35 initial free spins.

- Wild Drop: the stacked wild begins to disappear at the bottom one box at a time for 3 re-spins.

I believe that first two characteristics are extremely powerful, and added to the 243 ways to win, make of this a very strong and entertaining game. I love this slot.

I consider Basic Instinct is one of the most ‘serious’ and well-done iSoftBet slots. Some could say ‘Of course serious, being based on the great erotic thriller film from the early 90’s’ – but the game possesses other abilities that derserve this indicative. In my opinion this game is well comparable with some Playtech or Microgaming slots in visual appearance or rewarding potential standpoints and I’m not sure at all this game would come short in such competition.

It’s a 243 ways-to-win type game and offers progressive Jackpot winning opportunity. Uniquely, it uses 3 stacked Wild symbols that all have other functions too. If one or two pieces of Wilds land on a reel it acts as a traditional substitute but if the whole reel turns into Wilds the extra function is activated. The Drop Wild bonus means additional 3 re-spins while the ‘Wild reel’ drops one symbol in each time when the other reels are spinning. The Free spin feature is a mystery for me as I can’t quite understand by what rules it determines the number of awarded spins but one thing is sure it’s very generous. It gives quite often 30, 40 free spins and thanks to the option that this feature can be re-triggered the final number could be even hundred. The third Wild activates the bonus round where’s the chance for Jackpot while picking boxes that reveal their prizes until the Handcuff symbol is picked when the side game is ended.

All Wilds has great clips from the movie and all represents Stone (of course one of them is the famous ‘white dress/interrogation’ scene). Other than that though the graphics are good but generally the whole picture could be somewhat more exciting and the other symbol like gun, handcuff, car, detective badge are also not interpret perfectly the mood but eventually I don’t think it could be a major problem.

I remember when once I had just a handful of Euros I arrived to Basic Instinct and shortly got 39 free games and while playing it additional 47 spins were awarded and that were enough to put my balance back into a good condition after the previous losses.

By the way, it’s really great that this Jackpot game allows smaller stakes, even €0.50 bet and the players still could qualify for the race of the top prize. Not too many slots do that on the market.
All in all, Basic Instinct is a great, recommendable game to everyone who likes movie based, familiar character while playing with multi-lines and hunt for the Jackpot.
