Personal testers’ opinion about The Finer Reels of Life slot
- We have developed a weakness for 243 win ways slots (it seems they are particularly eventful and more generous), so everyone on our test team has at least one such slot in his TOP 5. Long story short – The Finer Reels of Life is on many of these lists.
- We completely assent with the common conclusion that this slot mirrors some other Microgaming titles. But which exactly? Well, the developers plucked from other 243-liners this and that, baking a layer cake. They used elements of all the following games: Thunderstruck II slot (2010), Immortal Romance slot (2011), Playboy slot (2013), Avalon II slot (2014), and Bulls-Eye slot (2015). But regardless of the potpourri created, this is one remarkable game: excellently executed (to look at), exciting (to play at) and great to profit from.
- Since the release of this slot, we had many decent sessions, but during 1 of our earlier tests, we hit the big bonanza: 1136x the total bet. We are trying to recreate our winning session again and again, but always unsuccessful. Except for that 1 time, we have never got so far to enter the 4th kind- Champagne & Diamonds Free Spins.
- The hit frequency of just 29% is not entirely to our liking, and waiting for the bonus to be initiated could sometimes be extremely lengthy, or some other time you could see it twice in 100 spins. But statistically, the Free Spins should appear after 155 spins. Unfortunately, when it comes to covering the bonus requirements, this slot is not apt for the task – it scored an index of just 3.83 (out of 10).

All in all, we highly recommend playing at least once with real credits. To enjoy this great Microgaming slot, you need to pick a stake that is suited to your financial situation, but note that The Finer Reels of Life show no sensitivity to the size of the bet (being giving and exciting no matter the stake). However, it is clearly a potential and motivating game: the way the Free Spins are opening, you are highly stimulated to keep up playing, so choose the optimal stake that will hold you are spinning the longest.
