Dazzle Me Slots

I've spent plenty of time playing slots, and after a while, sometimes I just want something a bit more classic. While I like the elaborate themes and oftentimes tons of imagination is put into many modern games, playing slots is about one thing at the core of it all - winning money and having fun. I was attracted to the Dazzle Me slot by NetEnt for a few reasons. It has a nostalgic quality about it, without limiting special features.

There are tons of online classic slots - but those classic slots usually feature classic formats only. What I like about this slot is it's a classic graphic theme with a modern format. There's excellent bonus play, and the visuals of the game are based on popular gems. The symbols include diamonds, emeralds, rubies, amethysts, sapphires, along with retro bells, lucky sevens, and the Free Spins symbol.

You can play this game in demo mode, too. Some games expect players to hop right in and bet right away - and I appreciate the Dazzle Me slot didn't force me to do that. Instead, I could examine the game and gauge how often it pays out and how much, plus I got a better idea of how often the special features are activated. This game can be played on all devices - as it's suitable for iPads, tablets, iPhones, and Android phones. It's crafted with modern technology that allows for a smooth, bug-free experience. The background of the game features blurring sparkles; it's hard for me to guess exactly what it's supposed to be except maybe other out-of-focus diamonds. In any case, it matches the rest of the game and creates a pleasing aesthetic. Stakes start as little as 0.20 per spin and can make players of all bankrolls feel at home.

Special Features

There are 76 paylines available in this game, and like most games, there is a paytable. While all of these gems are gorgeous, some are worth more than others. The lowest-valued gems are sapphires and emeralds, which pay up to 20 coins. Next up we have the rubies and amethysts, which pay up to 30 coins. The retro symbols pay out the best: bells pay up to 100 coins, and lucky sevens pay out 200 coins. This is to be expected, as it's a reference to how games typically paid out on physical slot machines.

The Dazzling Wild Reels feature can trigger at any time. Any of the reels can turn entirely wild, and sometimes multiple reels will turn wild at once. All of the wild symbols can replace all symbols apart from the Free Spins scatter symbol.

If you trigger three or more Free Spins symbols, you'll activate the Free Spins Feature. Three symbols award 8 free spins, four symbols award 12 free spins, and five symbols award the maximum of 16 free spins. Best of all, during the free spins, there's a chance to activate the Linked Reels Feature. During this feature, two adjacent reels become linked and will have identical symbols on them, which can happen on reels 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, or 4-5.
