Chance Machine 5

Chance Machine 5 slot overview

Chance Machine 5  is the latest release from the gaming development team at Endorphina and fourth in this series. The slot is dependent on having a small amount of active pay lines whilst keeping all the special features that this series is well-known for, there are not that many features and they are quite basic however when they are combined with the fruit theme it is the type of slot that will be well received by those who appreciate the true classics.

Theme & Symbols

The slot advertises a gambling machine in its name, and it is this that makes it obvious that the developers would have decided to use the classic theme. Everything in the slot you will have probably already be familiar with including the imagery as it has been used in past slots and many games utilizing them in their new slot offerings. This version may not be as good looking like previous slots in the series but if you are into the whole classic vibe this will be the slot for you as Chance 5 certainly obliges and delivers.

The major imagery that you will come across include the wild which is represented by the Crown, the Gold and Silver Stars which are the scatters and then you have the Lucky 7s, Gold Bells, BAR logos, four-leaf Clovers and the usual playing card suits clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades which have all been crafted from gemstones to give the slot that extra bit of sparkle.

Game Play

The 5-reels and 5 pay lines does not sound the most exciting but this slot really makes the elements work. The way in which the developers have done this is by offering massive potential for when players land just one of the premium symbols, therefore if you land just one symbol you are rewarded with 1,000x the stake this means that one spin could end up rewarding you with 5,000x your stake.

When you take the expanding wilds into consideration you will see that the jackpot is not that far out of your reach. It is worth mentioning that there are also two scatters, but they do not trigger any special features and when it comes to the return to player this stands at a mid-range of 96% which when compared to competitive slots so nothing to put you off there.
When it comes to placing your bet, you can choose the number of coins and the value of these coins however as the pay lines are fixed all 5 are always in play. The wagers start from as little as $0.05 up to a maximum of $50 so whilst not the highest this is a range that will appeal to a variety of players.

If you land a winning combination that is created by Lucky 7s you will be rewarded with 1,000x your stake from the single pay line, and if you manage to repeat this on all your lines you could walk away with a life changing amount of $250,000 which is certainly an amount you will not want to miss. The one thing you will need to remember when playing this slot is that it is highly unpredictable making this a dangerous game where you can be on a high one minute and come back to earth with a bang the next.

Features

When it comes to the symbols the most memorable is the Crown which acts as a substitute for all the images that can be mixed to create winning combinations however remember this is not applicable to the scatters. The wilds will only land on your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, reels and this then provides you with additional chances to create wins.

The scatters are a bit of a disappointment and it is lucky that the other elements make up for this as the two do nothing that impressive. They both deliver prizes, but you do need to land a certain number of them in view to get any wins from them. The Gold star needs to show up on your 3rd, 4th, and 5th, reels and when they do you will be rewarded with 5x, 20x, or 100x your stake, respectively. The Silver star scatter will also only land on three of your five reels and again they must be in view and if this occurs a prize totalling 20x your stake will be paid.

Generally, that is it and these are certainly remarkably simple features overall however that seems to be the buzz word for this slot therefore this should come as no surprise.

Conclusion

Chance Machine 5 is the most unpredictable option that all the slots that are in this series, and this is given due to the low number of pay lines. The prizes are great and the return to player sits at a respectable level too.

There is no doubt that although Chance Machine 5 is classically inspired it will certainly attract some attention. The stunning graphics and sound effects complement the classic symbol and game play that this slot offers. Although there are only a few features these are enough to keep players interested particularly those looking for a game with a total retro feel. There is also the gamble feature that comes into play after every win and gives the player the chance to guess whether their card is higher or lower than the one held by the dealer.

I found the slot incredibly enjoyable when I tested it, so it does not have all the features and fast paced game that a lot of the latest slots are packed with but what it does have is enough to give players simple game play with the chance to land some incredibly good wins. All I can say is give it a spin or two and the chances are it will be a game that gets added to your regular play list.
