In today's Spin Dizzy slot review, we frolic through the enchanting woodland that Realistic Games has created. Spin Dizzy is a 5-reel, 20 payline slot complete with a forest fairy who may give players the Spinning Wild or Spinning Symbol feature on any spin. Keep on reading to learn more.
Spin Dizzy takes place on a typical 5x3 reel set, and winning combinations are formed in the usual way, requiring three or more matching symbols across an active payline. The UI is simple, with the only things on the screen being the reels and the spin button (plus the auto spin button for those in eligible regions). The menu lets players change settings, such as the betting options, and there are several values to choose from, such as 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, 10.00, 20.00, and 50.00. There are 20 fixed paylines used in the game, and the minimum wager starts at 20p (1p per payline) and the maximum of £200 (£10 per payline).
The Spin Dizzy game has a theoretical RTP of 95.28%; a good deal below the market average of 96%. The slot game has a medium volatility rating, however, meaning it should suit most players. When it comes to the top possible payout, this is set to a measly 250x the total stake, which is very low for the average player but if playing with higher wagers becomes more lucrative.
Spin Dizzy can be found at many online casinos, but we’ve gathered our favorite slot sites where the real adventure begins:
The graphics of Spin Dizzy slot are charming and whimsical; if not a little reminiscent of the 3D animations of the early 2000s. The reels are unframed and are set against a beautiful autumnal forest. There are some animations used in gameplay such as when the reels spin as well as a subtle flickering of light to bring the forest to life and the woodland fairy which appears when bonus features are triggered.
Regarding symbols, the higher-value symbols include a jackpot icon, a pot of money, a ring with a dazzling purple jewel, a toadstool, a four-leaf clover, and a harp. The lower-value icons are the classic playing card symbols for 10, J, Q, K, and A, all of which have been decorated with various flowers. The word "WILD" surrounded by acorns and leaves is the Wild symbol, while the silver coin icon with acorns and leaves is the Scatter symbol.
The higher valued symbols all provide payouts in coins as follows:
Toadstool
Awards between 1 and 10 coins
Ruby Ring
Awards between 1.5 and 15 coins
Gold Pot
Awards between 2 and 20 coins
Wilds
Award between 5 and 25 coins
The smaller screen size means that the graphics of the Spin Dizzy game look much crisper when played on mobile devices, and this slot is fully optimised for play on all devices without the need for additional downloads. The lack of framing of the reels may make it a little harder to keep track of paylines on particularly small screens.
The Spin Dizzy slot offers a standard array of bonus features such as wilds and scatters, and free spins. A more unique base game modifier called ‘Spinning wilds’.
The Logo is the game's wild symbol and it can form winning combinations with all other symbols apart from the scatter symbol. It is also the highest paying symbol in the game and can award up to 25 coins.
The Silver Coin Symbol is the Scatter. Landing at least three Silver Coin Scatters within a single spin will start the Spinning Wilds Free Spins. When you do, a spinner will appear on each reel. Each spinner will decide if you get a Wild on that reel, Free Spins, or multipliers. The Free Spins Feature starts once this process is finished, with the number of free spins accrued, the multiplier(s) added to all wins during the feature, and any wilds starting on screen to hopefully help create winning combinations. If at the end of the free spins the woodland fairy appears, then the free spins bonus will be retriggered.
This is a random modifier which can occur during the base game. When it does, the fairy will appear and present a random number of spinners. These can reveal blanks or wild symbols.
While the dizzying theme of this game might blur others' vision, I can see right through it. What I see is a rather dull slot which, if it had been released over a decade ago (a la Pixies of the Forest), might have caused a bit of a stir, but given the abundance of online slot releases we enjoy today, means this slot is likely to lurk in the background. While there is nothing absurdly out of place about the game, almost every element of the game, from its math model to its theme, and the majority of its bonus features are unremarkable and forgettable. One of the few elements which differentiates Spin Dizzy is the Spinning Wilds feature, but as this is only a random modifier, it does not hold much sway in the overall perception of the game.
All in all, while there is nothing bad about the Spin Dizzy game, there really is not anything to celebrate either. With so many other staple games in this genre, such as Pixies of the Forest, I cannot see why a player would pick Spin Dizzy over so many other fan favourites. For this reason, Spin Dizzy gets a middle-of-the-road rating of 5/10.
