As dolled-up and alluring as Glamour Puss may be, the video slot named after her is about as prosaic as they come in fruit machine land.
It’s a case of don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed. For a nice quiet game without a lot to concentrate on, this PlayCasino effort is absolutely fine.
It’s bright without being too bright, attractive without being too attractive. The faux dramatic music gets a bit of purring added to sex it up a little. Nothing’s overdone, in other words.
Maybe it’s a game for those who wonder whether this handbag goes with those shoes, rather than bods who like to ponder the imponderables of life.
The introduction carries an invitation to “Click anywhere to skip intro” but we liked Glamour Puss’s red sports car pulling up in front of the swishy clothes shop and we stayed tuned, to be rewarded with a smart commissionaire dog opening the door for our Puss as she sashayed in.
Straight away we’re told that the Glamour Puss logo wild symbol substitutes for all except the Scattered Glamour Puss symbol and doubles any win it completes. The Free Spins game will be triggered when three or more Scattered Glamour Puss symbols appear anywhere in view.
Five pairs of high-heeled shoes pay the jackpot of 250. Five handbags pay 150, five mobile phones pay 100 and five perfume jars pay 75. Ace-9 are unadorned.Coin size goes from 0.01 all the way through 12 steps to 50. There are five reels and nine paylines, making for a maximum bet of 450.
Very occasionally the symbols sparkle or jiggle around a bit. No explosions, no whirly bits, no expanding thingies. Meanwhile our stake got smaller and smaller. We couldn’t get a Free Spins game for love nor money, but didn’t expect it to repair the financial damage anyway.
Some women promise but don’t deliver. They sure know how to soak it up.
