High Society from Microgaming: Slot Review - a chance to join the elite!

This game is all about wealthy and high-class folk and the lifestyles that they lead and how desperate the rest of us want to join them!

The game oozes class and sophistication from its presentation right through to its symbols which are private jets, yachts, cars, Rolex watches and gold bars, of course, just for good measure. It certainly does provide a glimpse of what dreams are made of when you are a member of the privileged high society.

It is a 5 reel slot game with 25 pay lines and comes with some very interesting features such as super wild reels, super multipliers and free spins.

Special Features

The first thing that I noticed while playing this game is the Wild symbol and this is denoted by the High Society logo. It substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol which is denoted by a 100 Euro money clip.

The main attraction of this slot is the Free Spins feature and how you can choose to use them. This is triggered when you land 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The really interesting thing here is that you can then choose between the Super Wild Reels or Super Multiplier features to apply to your Free Spins. The number of scatter symbols that you land will determine how many free spins you get in the Super Wild Reels feature and the size of the multiplier in the Super Multiplier feature.

If you choose the Super Wilds Reels feature then 3 Scatter symbols will give you 10 free spins, 4 will give you 15 free spins and 5 will give you up to 20 free spins. During Free Spins mode, the reels 2, 3, or 4 will turn wild and landing a Scatter symbol on reel 1 or 5 will turn the reel wild. If you land a Scatter symbol on both reel 1 and reel 5 then this will retrigger 10 free spins in addition to turning the reels wild. Make sure to make those free spins count as there is the potential for a big payout in this feature.

If you select the Super Multiplier feature then you will receive 10 free spins and a multiplier value ranging from 2X up to 10X. If you land 3 Scatter symbols then the multiplier ranges from 2X to 6X but land 5 scatter symbols and the multiplier range increases from 5X to 10X. Land a Scatter symbol on reel 1 or 5 and the multiplier value and if you land a Scatter symbol on both reels 1 and 5 then you will receive an additional 10 free spins.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game is superbly laid out and each symbol is a nice wink to the VIP lifestyle that the High Society folk are more than accustomed to. The background is nicely detailed with city lights and the High Society main logo glistens in a luxurious gold colour.

The symbols are bright and colourful and feature highly-sought after items such as Rolex watches, money clips and bags of cash. The animations are crisp and really pop when you land a winning combination on the reels.

The music is quite upbeat and jaunty and it suits the theme of this slot quite well.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 25 paylines, a nice RTP of 96.80%, and a top maximum payout worth 2,100X your total bet.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.

Our Verdict on High Society

High Society is produced by Microgaming and although it bears a striking resemblance to Microgaming’s Life of Riches, there are enough features that set it apart from it especially when it comes to selecting Free Spins and how you want to use them.

It’s a straightforward pickup and play slot but offers some nice payouts when in Free Spins mode so I would definitely recommend giving this game a spin or two.
