Singles Day

Theme 

Are you ready to shop the day away?! 

Chinese culture and tradition have been the source of inspiration for game developers on a great number of occasions. This time…

…Genesis Gaming is not looking to the past but the present. They are taking players to China during a very important holiday known as Singles' Day.

Celebrated on the 11 November…

…this shopping holiday started back in the early 1990s and is popular among young Chinese people who are celebrating being single.

When it comes to the visuals…

…The reels are set within a golden frame and in the background, we can see the interiors of a very classy restaurant. The release features crisp graphics and vibrant colors while the soundtrack is upbeat and jazzy.

Betting options and symbols

The game is played on the 5 x 3 grid and 100 paylines. 

The betting options are in the range from 1 up to 200 $ per spin. 

At the top of the paytable, you’ll see 4 beautiful girls. In this case, the redhead is the highest paying of them all with 500 x coin value for landing 5 on the line. 

The low – value icons are represented by all the things single women might decide to buy for themselves on this day. You can kick off the shopping spree with a glass of some tasty cocktail and macarons. It’s nice to have one more evening gown in the closet and a new pair of high heels and a new bag are always a great idea. 

BUT…

…as Marilyn Monroe used to sing – “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. So seeing a diamond necklace with red rubies as the highest paying among these icons is not surprising at all.

Special features

Represented by a bunch of 1s, Wild can substitute for all symbols and help you in creating more winning combinations. Number 1 being the dominant symbol is not so surprising since the date 11/11 is chosen for a reason. It’s a date with 4 ones and this number is used as a symbol for the single person. 

But…

…during the base game, at the end of each spin, Wilds are expanded to fill the whole reel. 

The release doesn’t feature a Scatter symbol so the bonus round of extra spins is triggered when 2 or more Wilds land on the middle reels. 2 of these and you will have an opportunity to play 10 additional spins but…

…with 3, you will be able to spin the reels extra 20 times. 

Unfortunately, bonus spins cannot be retriggered. 

There are also Super Symbols that appear during the additional round. These icons are depicting the same 4 girls but are different in size and can go up to 4x3 on the grid. During this round, players will be able to also see Wild Super Symbols.

Conclusion 

Overall, this is a video slot with a unique theme and nice additional rounds.

Chinese legends and stories have already found its way to the modern fruit machines. This time Genesis Gaming, inspired by a modern Chinese tradition, has created video slot with quite a distinctive theme. Additional rounds are not one of the kind but…

…bonus spins and expanding Wilds are always a great addition to the gameplay.
