Shopping Spree

Shopping Spree is an online slot from Wager2Go with a very distinguishable theme. All sorts of luxury items are present on the reels, with an overall style and feel that this is a game for someone who enjoys a bit more than window shopping.

But it’s not all about looks and graphics, and in fact, the minimal bet level here is fit for all purses and wallets. Forty paylines, bonus spins and wild multipliers add a decent chance of scoring wins.

Theme And Symbols

The graphical style here is quite distinctive, and generally something we would associate with things advertised towards women. The setup is quite simple, with the background painting of a typical shopping scene. Unfortunately, its static nature soon becomes a bit boring.

There’s a bit more action on the reels, but not much in the way of animations. Sale signs, shopping bags, shoes, rings and diamonds drive the bargains as symbols of high value. The sound effects are a bit repetitive, but at least they fit the theme well.

Betting Options And Other Functions

The game uses forty paylines for the purpose of creating three to five symbol winning combinations. The bet is placed as per payline, with the minimum totalling 0.40 coins per spin. You can increase that pretty much as high as your bankroll allows.

The possible wins are not the highest around but still offer some nice pots if you manage to score them through a number of paylines. The biggest single combo pays back 500 times your line bet.

Special Features

• Scatters are the most important symbols in the game as they launch the bonus spins .
• Three, four or five scatters also pay out wins of 40, 200 or 400 times the line bet. Likewise, they result in 12, 20 or 40 bonus spins.
• The wild symbol normally simply substitutes for other symbols, sans the scatter. However, during the bonus spins all the wilds are tallied together during each spin, and all the wins of that spin are multiplied by this total number of wilds.

Verdict

At the end of the day, Shopping Spree is a rather simple online slot. Wager2Go hasn’t really gone in-depth with any aspect of the game. The wins are not really in line with the theme, and the theme mostly offers static graphics. That’s not to say that the bonus rounds and the multiplying wilds wouldn’t offer some opportunities, but there are other options to choose from too.

Why not try Shopping Spree II from RTG instead, as it offers a lot more playability and even a progressive jackpot. Or, why not try both in demo mode to see which one suits your personal play style better?
