Reel Talent Slot

Graphics

Reel Talent has cartoon type graphics and is reminiscent of (though completely legally distinct from) the animated movie, Sing, as animals try their best at displaying their talents. With a Magician Rabbit, Lion Singer, Wolf Guitarist and Crocodile Firebreather as the main symbols, this slot also has a hint of The Greatest Showman about it.

The Lion is by far the most talented, and we’re not just saying that because it gives us 15 times our stake for five across a payline. Okay, we are saying that. But the Reel Talent Logo is also rewarding, giving us 50 times our stake for five on a payline and also acting as the slot’s Wild. The reel case is set on the front of a stage, giving the impression that we’re in the front seats, watching the show.

There’s a very blue feel to the game, with dark hues surrounding the borders, perhaps to keep the cast from not being blinded by the spotlights. It helps to highlight any wins too as when this happens, the vibrant winning paylines stand out compared to the rest of the background. When we trigger the Superspin feature, we are whisked to a different stage with different colours and hues highlighting our progress. Vivid.

Gameplay

One thing we notice when we first play Reel Talent are the one, two and three numbers to the left of the screen. Surely something has to go here? And surely it does.

Reel Talent features a Symbol Storage feature, so when we land a winning combination with a main symbol, that symbol moves on over to the left. Store three symbols with three winning combos and we trigger the Superspin feature. If all three symbols are different, we play the Showtime Superspin level.

If we store two of the same symbols plus one other we play the Big Stage Superspin level, while one symbol gives us the lucrative Solo Performance Superspin level, where we can win up to 605.25 times our stake and features a guaranteed win.

On Reel Talent we feel as if we’re the ones put on the stage, trying to form the best combinations to land more spins. Thankfully, though, we’ve got guitar playing wolves and singing big cats to help us along the way.

Verdict

Reel Talent stands out as a slot that doesn’t have that Microgaming feel (despite the power and backing) but is fresh and fun, thanks to Just For The Win’s stamp.

We get the talent show to end all talent shows and innovative bonus features we won’t find anywhere else. Who needs a real talent show when we’ve got the Reel Talent online slot?
