Grand Spinn Slot – Free Demo

Art Deco on three reels

Grand Spinn is modelled on the Art Deco period. A three-reel slot from the NetEnt assembly line, it's one of the studio's pared-back games rather than one of its feature-crammed ones. It launched in July 2019. Jack Hammer is another NetEnt game on the site.

Grand Spinn is a rather atypical NetEnt slot when it comes to the configuration, with 3 reels, 3 rows and 1 fixed bet line. Wins pay on that one line only. You receive a modest assortment of features. There are no free spins and no bonus round, so the base game carries the whole return. They comprise the Nudge feature on every win, the up arrow, the Multiplier Wild and, most crucially, the three fixed jackpots. The bet is built from a bet level and a coin value, and each spin costs two coins. Grand Spinn takes stakes from 0.02 to 200.00 per spin, and the theoretical RTP here is 96.19%. Across my 470 spins at 1.00 a spin the return came out at 103.0%.

How the Nudge keeps paying the same win

When it comes to features, there's no shortage of action here, and to start with, there is the Nudge feature. It runs once the win has counted up. Every win sets it off. That made it 82 spins out of my 470. If the symbol above the winning one on reel 1 corresponds, the reel nudges down one place and the win pays again, until the symbol above is different; reel 2 then does the identical, then reel 3. A single spin can therefore pay several times over before the reels settle.

The up arrow may be visible when a reel ceases nudging, and the reel then shifts back to the base of the winning stack, and nudging and payouts commence again.

The Multiplier Wild shows up on reels 1-3. One of the published frames has an x2 Wild sitting above and below the bet line without touching it, on a spin that paid 5.00. It substitutes for everything except the up arrow and the Jackpot symbols, and it multiplies a win by 2 with one Wild, 4 with two and 8 with three. Three x2 Wilds on the line paid 240.00 on spin 98, the biggest win of my session.

Mini, Midi and the 5,000x Mega

It all comes down to the three fixed jackpots, despite the activity in the base game. That same 5.00 frame also has a Midi Jackpot symbol resting just off the line. The Mini is at 20 times the total bet, the Midi at 100 times and the Mega at 5,000 times; after the nudging finishes, Jackpot symbols may rest at the top. None of the three came in over my 470 spins. If each reel holds one on a winning stack, the lowest jackpot shown pays - two Mega and one Midi pays the Midi. At the 1.00 stake I played, that is 20.00, 100.00 and 5,000.00.

Three Jackpot symbols on the bet line with no winning combination also pay the corresponding jackpot, lastly. That is the one route to a jackpot that doesn't need a winning combination first.

The Minty Summary: Three x2 Multiplier Wilds on spin 98 paid 240.00 and carried the whole of a 470-spin session to a 103.0% return; without that one line the log is 469 spins of small change and a 25-spin drought.

What 470 spins at 1.00 actually did

Grand Spinn is a compact slot pared down to its features, and it's also extremely volatile (5 out of 6 on the volatility scale). The steepest stretch of my session took the balance down to 948.00 by spin 70. With a few notable highlights, it's the Multiplier Wild that stands out the most. Of the 82 paying spins, 33 returned less than the 1.00 stake.

Over 470 spins at 1.00 a spin I finished at 1,014.20 from a starting 1,000.00, a 103% return, with 82 paying spins and no jackpot landed. The high point was 1,201.40 after spin 103, and the longest drought ran 25 spins to spin 335. The session's highlight was three x2 Multiplier Wilds on the bet line for 240.00 on spin 98.

One more from NetEnt

NetEnt also ships Grand Spinn Superpot. It's a separate game that places a progressive Super Jackpot on the same game. Reel Rush is another NetEnt title on the site.
