SUMMARY
Overall, we will rate this game with 7.6 out of 10 points. The game play is basic, but it does have all that one would expect from a five-reel slot.
With only 50 paylines, this however, is is compensated by the extra bonuses such as the double pay, the expanding wild, plus the good pays of the scatter symbol. It paid us nicely in our real money testing.
