The
Deal Or No Deal slot machine above is the second version, dubbed "Banker's Riches". It bears a similarity
to
X-Factor 2 slot in several ways: it's a sequel, it is based on a TV show, it has three
feature rounds and a progressive jackpot. However as far as game-play goes, the Deal Or No Deal slot machine is very different.
Games like the
Iron Man 2 slot and excellent
Gladiator slot machine have raised the bar for online slots and while
Deal Or No Deal will have it's fans, it does feel a little dull alongside those games. But... it's not as volatile
and for those whom entertainment is as important as making a profit, the Deal Or No Deal game has it's place.
While most slot machines rely heavily on the free spin bonus to provide big wins (
Pharaohs Fortune
and the
Dolphin's Pearl slot spring immediately to mind), the Deal Or No Deal slot's
free spin feature is a little tepid by comparison. It's also random, triggered by 3 or more telephone symbols in view which
can also award other features like "Banker's Offer". When you get the free spin feature, you have "
unlimited" free spins, only
stopping when the "Banker" appears on the middle reel. Which he tends to do quite quickly in my experience.
The "Banker's Best Offer" feature does exactly what it says on the tin. If you know the TV show then this will be pretty
obvious from the off. You get 10 offers and whn you accept one, the feature's over. Typically you might win up to 20x your
bet if you choose wisely - it could be more, just that I haven't seen more than that yet.
Several of the
slot machines you can play here have multiple bonus features but it normally means
there is a bit of a trade-off. Or put another way, it's generally an indicator that the game is lower volatility and
one of those designed to provide more entertainment value rather then monster hits condusive to volatile games. The
Deal Or No Deal slot game is one of those and short of hitting the progressive jackpot you are unlikley to walk away
with a large wedge ofcash but you should have had a decent run for your money at least.
