And no, we are not being particularly nice to IGT today. We’re never that nice to anyone, especially with new mobile slots we know nothing about *cough*BridesmaidSlot*cough*.
The reason we know we are going to love it is simply that, as some of the smarter readers in the audience might have guessed by now, the Natural Powers video slot is a carbon copy of another IGT mobile slot.
Because if there’s one thing that slot software providers know how to do best, is come up with one original idea and then milk it till it’s dead.
That said, we are being more than a little cynical about all this. After all, we love playing on Summertime as much as we love Thunderstruck. So what if they are the same? Just means we get to play the game we love, but on two different machines, one who may feel more generous than the other.
So here’s why you should still be excited about getting a copy.
What we know about the Natural Powers slot game
We will break the anticipation and tell you which mobile and tablet game Natural Powers is based on.
It is, the brilliant 5 star slot review Transformers: Battle for Cybertron.
What do you mean you’ve never played it? How old are you? 110?
Ok, ok, we get it. Not everyone is a fan of the robots in disguise.
It’s a very niche and specific fan-base, especially after Michael Bay all but destroyed every sweet memory of our childhood playthings through general crapness and robo-racism.
But that’s why the Natural Powers slot machine came along to save the day.
A theme with a broader appeal
When we first saw the images of this new IGT online slot, we knew it reminded us of something but we couldn’t quite put our finger on it.
Finally, after a little soul searching (ie. a good mobile casino playing session) we came across the theme style it reminded us of; NetEnt’s Jack Hammer.
But a more grownup version. It had the same ‘Kapow!’ comic book feel from the 1950s, but with four super-heroines drawn in a 21st century comic way.
Non-geeks amongst you should just imagine ’21st century’ to means a ‘more curves is better’ policy.
Based around four ladies who control ‘natural powers’ each come with their own set of special features and free spin choices.
Mr Green get’s all their game ahead of time and a generous bonus.
What bonus features can we expect?
Oh so many features. You basically have two types; the ones that trigger randomly out of nowhere, and the free spins.
The mystery features:
- Wind, the cool blonde, will blow all Fire and Ice symbols away from the reels, allowing for more to tumble down from above.
- Fire, the redhead (obviously), will equally burn all Wind and Earth symbols from the reels.
- Earth, the token black girl, removes a random pattern of symbols.
- Ice, because water would be too pansy we guess?, equally freezes away a random pattern of symbols
- The Super Team (all four at once) will randomly trigger the free spins
3 bonus symbols for a free spin choice of:
- Fire = 5 free spins with all wins at 8x to 10x
- Wind = 8 free spins with all wins at 4x to 10x
- Ice = 12 free spins with all wins at 3x to 5x
- Earth = 15 free spins with all wins at 2x to 4x
That’s a lot happening on this slots tumbling reels.
Yeap: 40 paylines and cascading reels
Did we forget to mention that, much like the famed slot Pixies of the Forest, Natural Powers has that feature on it’s reels?
You know the one. The one where on every single win, the symbols disappear and more come tumbling down from above, giving you a ‘mini’ free go each time.
- Gonzo’s Quest
- Balloonies
- Gemix
- Masques of San Marco
It’s a hard feature not to love.
And it makes Natural Powers one of the friendlier of the IGT mobile and tablet slots around. The wins will come often, sitting around the low to mid variance volatility.
If you have no idea what that means, it’s just that whilst it won’t be easy to get any big wins on these 5 reels, they are there to be found.
Meanwhile, if you budget accordingly, you won’t lose all your cash super quickly.
Are we excited for the 26th of March?
If we are going to be 100% honest, Transformers Battle for Cybertron isn’t a game we go to often.
Not because we didn’t love it when we played, just that it usually get’s lost in the hundreds of other mobile games around.
So in a way, we are grateful for Natural Powers to remind us about an old classic (even though it’s not actually that old…)
That’s the nice thing about getting copies of popular slots. They either bring a fresh theme and perspective to a game you might not have played before, or you remembered why you fell in love with the original to begin with.
If you don’t believe us, play on Transformers with a generous £$€700+ in bonus money at Leo Vegas casino and see for yourself.
They’ll no doubt add Natural Powers as soon as it’s released, and you’ll be glad you know exactly what to expect.
