The Finer Reels of Life Slot Review 2024

The Finer Reels of Life

The Finer Reels in Life was released in January of 2013. It is based around the 243 payline slots that have been coming out from Microgaming over the past few years. This seems to be an area that Microgaming is focused on as it allows players of all levels to enjoy the slot and win some nice cash in the process. The Finer Reels in Life includes wilds, scatters, bonus feature and multiple free spin selections with each offering special bonus features within.

Microgaming has put together a theme that surrounds the good things in life that are only experienced by those in society who has obtained much wealth. The background and the sounds all give off a sense of entitlement for the rich in a classical music soundtrack. As expected this helps set you in the mood and ready to hit those wins that will help put you in the league of the super rich. Symbols have been designed around that lifestyle and include such things as fine china, luxurious candy, champagne, wine, jewels, Cuban cigars with a side of Cognac and these are complemented with the standard number and letter symbols. Microgaming has added some animated graphics to each of the symbols to make this slot not just a slot game but a genuine slot experience.

The Finer Reels in Life has a Wild Celebration bonus that is triggered at random. You will see 5 champagne bottles appear at the bottom of the reels. The corks will pop one at a time and turn each wheel that a cork pops off under wild. This can see all 5 of the reels become wild and payout the maximum payout for this slot across all paylines. The Wild Celebration feature is fantastic as this game tends to be a higher variance slot and during the Wild Celebration it is common for 3 or more corks to explode and reward a decent prize.

The free spins are really the focus in this game as four different levels are offered. As you trigger the free spins you will unlock additional free spin bonuses. The first series of free spins award 10 free spins that carry a 5 times multiplier. The free spins can be re-triggered allowing for multiple additional sets of 10 free spins to be won.

The second free spin series is unlocked once you have triggered the free spins 5 times. At this stage you can choose to play with the 10 free spins or can move forward and select the 15 free spins that come with the wild vine. The wild vine is a cool add on as should a gold symbol land on the third reel it will randomly turn up to 6 other positions on the reels wild. When you factor in the wild symbol in play with the wild vine it is not hard to imagine the fortunes that can be won during these free spins. If you get 2 or more scatters during the free spins you will win one extra spin for each time this occurs.

After 10 free spin activations you will have the opportunity to select the Burning Wild Free Spins. During the burning wild free spins random positions can be turned wild and will multiply your win by as much as 6 times. Free spins cannot be re-trigged during this series of free spins. Once you have achieved 20 triggers of the free spins you will unlock the final free spins which includes 25 free spins with rolling wilds. When you hit a win on the reels the reels will roll down one position and can complete additional winning paylines. With each successful win a multiplier will increase to a maximum of 5 times and remain at 5 times until no further wins are achieved.

After unlocking all the free spins all future free spin triggers will give you your choice of which free spin series you wish to play. Play your favourite or maybe go for the 25 spins and hope you get a big win – either way it is up to you!

Summary:

Simply put – another fantastic slot from Microgaming. Great potential, some huge wins and all presented in a class unlike others.
