Macau High Roller

Review

This game transports you to a high-stakes gambling destination, reminiscent of a famous entertainment hub. This title shares similarities with a previous release, with the primary difference being the theme. Players can now choose between two distinct settings to explore. A unique two-tier system allows players to switch between standard gameplay and a high-roller mode.

The high roller mode is accessible even with modest bet sizes. Notably, the game's RTP increases significantly in the High Roller Lounge, potentially impacting returns. The base game features classic symbols, while the High Roller mode focuses on coin value chips and blank spaces.

The base game's features offer a glimpse into the high roller experience, potentially encouraging players to upgrade. A random money chips spin can occur at any time during the base game, and the bonus round awards a certain number of such spins. The game subtly encourages players to try the high roller mode, where wins of up to a certain multiplier are possible, along with a Super Respins feature triggered when all reel positions are highlighted.

What are the bonus features?

This game includes an interesting set of features, dependent on the chosen mode. Here's a closer look, starting with the base game.

The Money Spin feature can trigger randomly in the base game, resulting in only casino chips with values and blank spaces appearing. The values of the landed chips are collected and paid out as a win.

The Money Spin is the base game feature in the regular mode. Players can enter the High Roller Lounge by increasing their total stake. These spins differ from regular base game spins.

The standard symbols disappear, and like the Money Spin feature, only blanks and chips with coin values appear. All money chips are collected, awarding an instant win.

Each reel position that lands a coin chip is marked, and highlighting all reel positions triggers the Super Respins feature.

Chips from the triggering spin become sticky, and three respins are awarded. Only chips and blanks land, and new chips become sticky, resetting the respins to three. The feature continues until respins are exhausted or the screen is filled with money chips.

Free spins

Landing a certain number of scatter symbols triggers the free spins bonus round, called the Free Spins feature. A certain number of spins are awarded when the required amount of scatters land, respectively. Only blanks and casino chips appear in this feature, and wins are collected like in the Money Spin feature.

How to play

The game interface is located below the reels. The gameplay may seem complicated, but is easy to grasp once started. Here's a guide on how to play.

The menu opens up the speaker icon. Toggling this icon controls all sounds. The "i" icon opens the game's paytable.

The paytable displays all symbol combination values in coins. It is static and doesn't update with the bet level, requiring you to divide the values by the paylines to calculate the payout per total stake. The highest paying symbol awards a certain multiplier for a specific number on a payline.

Scrolling down reveals information on the bonus features with illustrations. Further down are the game rules and paylines. The coin stack icon adjusts the bet level between a set range, and the coin value can be changed.

The circular arrows icon opens the autoplay feature, allowing selection between a set number of autospins and win/loss limits. The reels can be spun manually, and double-clicking stops the spin early.

Where to play

At the time of this review, the full release is imminent, but a limited release has occurred, enabling play at several online platforms.

The Experience

This title can be seen as two games rolled into one, as the High Roller Bet is very different from the regular gameplay. A session was conducted testing both worlds, and here's how it went.

The game was played with a set stake per spin, prepared for a volatile journey. Several dead spins occurred initially, with minimal wins. After a while, the Money Spin feature triggered, hoping for a substantial payout.

A couple of chips with values landed, along with smaller chips. This totaled a certain coin win, translating to a set multiplier of the stake. This was celebrated with a money fountain and a tune, but didn't recuperate all losses.

Following this, dead spins continued, so the High Roller Lounge was tested. To minimize risk, the bet was reduced to the minimum per spin. Pressing the High Roller Bet button increased the bet size.

Luck wasn't great in High Roller mode, with blanks landing frequently. Eventually, a reasonable win came from a coin chip, but money chips were scarce. Luck improved, and a decent amount of highlighted reel positions racked up. In total, a certain multiplier of the stake was won from this mode, exiting before triggering the Super Respins feature.

Review Summary

This game transports you to a high-stakes gambling destination. It offers varied gameplay and decent bonus features. The visuals are adequate and suit the theme. The High Roller Lounge mode significantly increases the game’s RTP, which is a consideration.

The regular game's bonus features offer a taste of this mode, and the High Roller mode lacks bonus features. You can switch between game modes, maintaining freshness. The maximum win potential is a bit low for the volatility, and you can only win a certain multiplier from the bonus features.

Pros	Cons
Money chips respin feature	Maximum win is a bit low for medium to high volatility
Free spins with money chips	Shares similarity with another game
High roller money chips mode with increased RTP
