Pimped Slot – Free Demo

The white suit pays 750 coins for five

Pimped is a 2015 launch that leans on the fur coats and gold rings of the pimp persona, and it is easy to recognise the get-rich-quick daydream it is founded on. The rest of the cast is a man in a hat, two women, a diamond ring, a roll of cash and the card ranks from 10 up to ace. In the online slot, you get to trail the man in the white suit himself. He is the top-paying symbol at 750 coins for five, and you get a chance to trigger the Win Spins feature. In 350 spins at a 50-coin stake I did not trigger it once.

It's a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 fixed pay lines. All wins are multiplied by the bet staked per line, and Scatters are the exception to that. It's tough to say whether it's a medium or high variance slot.

Booting up the slot, it's almost as if you're presented to one of those late-night cable channels, and the bold hues, brash symbols and the guaranteed-win feature are pitched at the same volume.

Reading the paytable in coins

The paytable is shown in coin value. The stake itself is built from a coin value, a number of coins per line and the ten lines. If you're new to slots that can be a bit bewildering (on purpose), and it's a ploy used to make the payouts appear more striking than they truly are. The coin value is the only part of that sum the panel lets you move. To make it simple, a spin is 5 coins across 10 lines. So with the 50-coin spin the panel builds, just divide the coin values in the paytable by 50. My session ran at exactly that 50-coin spin from first spin to last.

Pimped's most rewarding symbol is the fist wild. It substitutes for everything except the Scatter, and it pays 1000, 200 and 50 coins for 5, 4 and 3 across a pay line, while the pimp in white sits just beneath it at 750 coins for five. Wins are paid left to right with the highest win per line. A longer combination on a line therefore replaces the shorter one rather than adding to it. Scatters pay anywhere.

What three dollar signs are worth

Because of how few features are usually included, Play'n GO slots can be a lot simpler to review than most. Grim Muerto and Banana Rock are two more Play'n GO line games on the site. Pimped comes with one bonus feature and a gamble.

Three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers Win Spins. You're granted 5 of them and every Win Spin carries a guaranteed win, while a scatter landing during the feature adds another 2 Win Spins, up to a total of 20.

After any paid win, players are offered the chance to gamble it on a playing card, and if you guess the colour the win is doubled at odds of 50%. The screen also keeps a list of the previous cards drawn. Guess the suit and it's multiplied by four at odds of 25%. I took a 60-coin win onto that screen at the session stake, where it was offered as 120 for the colour or 240 for the suit, and after a red heart the same win stood at 240 and 480.

350 spins without a Scatter trigger

It didn't take many spins until I grasped that Pimped behaves precisely the way the paytable implies it will, and pretty much all wins of any consequence are assigned to the feature. The wins that did land were mostly small, and my second-best spin of the session, number 284, paid 1,600.00. That is why most base game spins are made up of dead spins. The balance finished on 15,365.00. Mathematically, in order to fit a 10,000x max win on top of a guaranteed-win bonus, that's how it has to be.

Minty’s Closing Thought: 350 spins at a 50-coin stake returned 7,865.00 against 17,500.00 wagered, and the Win Spins that carry the guaranteed win never once landed. With the best line in the paytable worth 1000 coins, the distance between a session like that and the 500,000-coin ceiling is the feature's alone to close.

Where the 500,000 coins have to come from

Although there is a claimed max win potential of 10,000 times the stake in this slot, or 500,000 coins, my session over 350 spins at a 50-credit stake was fairly disappointing. No single pay line in the paytable comes close to that on its own, so the ceiling depends on the Win Spins stacking up to their limit. I wagered 17,500.00 and got 7,865.00 back, a return of 44.9%. Spins 324 and 284 between them accounted for 3,600.00 of that 7,865.00. The balance never once climbed above the 25,000.00 I began with before bottoming out at 14,410.00, and only 65 spins paid anything at all, 34 of those for less than the stake. Below those two, the next results down were 550.00 on spin 124, 450.00 on spin 46 and 260.00 on spin 219. I went 14 spins in a row without a win, and not a single Win Spin triggered in the whole session. That dry run ended on spin 42. The best I managed was 2,000.00 on spin 324, 40 times the stake. The balance after it stood at 16,360.00, still well short of where the session started. With that said, it is a slot with a guaranteed win on every bonus spin.
