Sale of the Century Slot

Sale of the Century is a game I came across accidentally in 888 Games casino and I played it a few times. The theme of the game is shopping and you can see a lot of symbols here like a car, a scooter, jewelry, TV, furniture, golf clubs. I think this game will be more popular with the ladies but I also play it from time to time.

This is a 25 payline, 5 reel slot with a few interesting features. The wild symbol in this game appears only on reel 2, 3 and 4 and doesn’t offer a multiplier nor does it expand to cover the reels so we can say it’s a setback in the game payout. The symbols payout is pretty descent and the highest has a payout of 5000 coins. This is great and if you are lucky to get 5 cars on a winning payline you are looking at a big win.

This game also has a few bonus features. The first is the instant win bonus which is triggered randomly after a spin and you have 3 choices between cash prizes. If you don’t take the first two prizes the third is awarded automatically regardless if the previous ones were higher or lower so you have to choose wisely. The second bonus features is triggered when you get the ? symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4. Here you have to pick fields and depending on your luck you can win cash prizes, free spins or both. The third bonus is when you hit 3 scatters on the reels. Here you get 8 free spins on another 3 reel machine and you have to collect coins. After that you use the coins to pick items which award cash prizes.

Overall this can be a fun game to play. The first time I played it I won a jackpot of 93 euros on the first pick in the Gift shop bonus and in the end I had a win of 150 x bet. If it’s in a good mood it can produce some nice wins to boost your balance.

I think this is the slot where we don’t have to look hard for what can be the theme of the game because it is either very evident or for some gamblers it just seems that it really hasn’t one or it’s just maybe a sign of lacking in imagination or originality from the creators’ part. The name of Sale of the Century refers to a popular TV quiz show but to those players who are from countries where this show wasn’t televised this kind of illustration doesn’t say anything and they can see just items as symbols so the subject of the game really can be anything. We play here with TV, watches, scooter, washing machine, car, fur coat icons and it’s true the graphics of them are very decent with proper color usage and one by one they all look good but somehow together they doesn’t form a real unit and I blame the creators for all of this because I believe without knowing anything about the show that inspired the creation of this slot it still should be more expressive and with better combined graphical and design work the overall visual effect would be much more impressive and attractive, but the way it is now it simply just can’t be.

However much I don’t sympathize with the interface (better saying with the way how the developer structured this) it still could be a good slot with great game qualities but unfortunately it also doesn’t have that. Maybe the features and add-on's are there and show good qualities on the paytable but playing the game they prove almost all of them are useless and from money wise standpoint they’re very poor.

At this 25-payline slot the top prize what a line win can provide is 5000 times of line bet. This occasion we can see 5 Red Cars on an active payline and sadly if a Wild is involved in that win it doesn’t mean anything because the Player substituting icon can’t multiply the wins and may only appear on the second, third and fourth reels. Perhaps the Instant Win feature’s paying ability is the one that can be compared to a normal function feature and this is my favorite part of the game too. This is a randomly triggered feature when a cash prize is shown and we have the freedom to accept that or ask for another shown prize. We have 2 attempts to refuse it if we don’t satisfy with the amounts and then the last one will be credited. For my €1.25 usual bet the most common prize here between €1.25-€3.75 but once or twice accidentally I was offered €15+ and of course I gladly accepted it.

Scatter also could pay up to 100 times of total bet if 5 of them become visible on the screen but sometimes I feel myself lucky if just get 3 of them and trigger the bonus. It is one of the least appearing bonus triggering symbols I’ve ever played with. If the wonder happens and 3 such icons arrive on the table we are carried over to a secondary game where a 3-reel slot is waiting for us offering 8 extra spins. During that stage a special gift token can appear on the reels and after the 8 spins are completed these collected token can be changed to items in the Gift Shop where every item means cash prizes. It won’t be a bad side game if the final won amount was around what the player wish for but most of the times it is not really worth to play with because I barely could collect more than 10-15 times of total bet.

There’s another feature named Super Pick which comes along if 3 ‘?’ signs appear on the middle reels then all 9 symbols on the inner reels transform into ‘?’ figure and we must pick one of them. The selected emblem can award us either instant cash prize, free spins, both of them or an entry to Gift Shop. The number of free spins is randomly chosen and all wins are tripled during that session. This also a very rarely occurring feature and I’d be lie if I say I saw this extra more than 2 or 3 time.

As you can see the slot has some features that seem great but my biggest problem with them is that they are very, very rarely triggered and most of the times they really have weak rewarding habits. I think this is the territory where the game must improve a lot to be considered a good game. It just one thing how I feel about its theme and its pictorial solutions but what really matters is this paying ability which is in this form is well behind most of the game’s on the market so that’s why I can’t consider this slot as a good and not even a mediocre product. This slot could be much more enjoyable and entertaining if the game settings was around at least normal conditions and more player friendly.

Sale of the century video slots it is an old one game from nextgen, and i am not sure did this game presented at many casinos, since i played this game only once in my life and this is was at 888 casino, not at skill on net casino, which is a bit unusual for me, and also i was really surprised to see nextgen game at 888 casino.

25 paylines presented on this game and i think this is not interesting game, at all occasions. First my complaint here is that this game has very poor graphic if i compare it too other slots from this software creator. Another my complaint it theme here, really i did not like shopping and everything which can be say about it, so this game did not take any my feelings or interests. Also here is no wilds on all reels, also on middle 2 3 4 reels, and wilds not stacked or expanded, and also without any multiplier which is really something unusual for nextgen and something i did not like at all, payouts therefore here very low.

Features here is different, when 3 symbols with ? sign i was able to choose cash prize, or free games, or bonus game where i will just pick items and get some awards. Really, probably i should try this game few more times or something, but game is simply not interesting for me and i did not know is this game is good or not, i simply did not like it. I have no any good feelings about it. I am pretty sure will not play at this video slot again. I did not know who will be happy with this game, since payouts are very low.

Low-medium variance game, which by my opinion is absolutely not interesting, and moreover it is really boring, features not interesting and generally nothing really happens here.
