Sneaky Spinners

The theme that casino games developers decide to use can make or break new online slots. Slots with new and interesting themes will be more inviting and rise above rival themes. Sometimes a studio will even land a licensing agreement to use a movie or television series to connect to the game. At the same time, some go nearly as far as making replicas with slight differences. I guess from just the title you can guess what TV series Sneaky Spinners is based on, but it comes off a bit too slippery in that it feels a little cheap. However, you do have have a free spins feature where wilds can lock into place for up to 5 spins.

Fans of the British series, Peaky Blinders will be over the moon. You’ll likely have played the slot online of the same name, perhaps even right here, created by the casino software studio Pragmatic Play. Release a while before with a sequel not soon after, we were all treated to a slot online based on the Shelby family. Slot Factory has now decided to release Sneaky Spinners, which is another obvious spin-off of Peaky Blinders, just without the licensing agreement needed to actually make it look authentic. Graphics are comic book styled, and the characters have a brief resemblance to the beloved show characters, but this is done purposely in an attempt to ward off any potential lawsuits.

Slot Factory has kept the mechanics of Sneaky Spinners quite simple, with practically no areas which can confuse new CA players in the online casino scene. Sometimes you can play online slots that are too busy which makes it too hard to understand why you landed a win or perhaps why symbols that lined up didn't award a win. In Sneaky Spinners 3, 4 and 5 of a kind lining up on one of the nine paylines will award a win based on the value the symbol carries. The stake size you can place can be as small as 0.9, with options ascending as high as 180 per spin. You can play on pretty much any device, desktop or mobile, as long as it uses Windows, iOS or Android.

There’s quite a basic selection of symbols that will fall in both regular play and the bonus feature, being lower values, higher values and symbols that bring added value to the experience. The paying icons are playing card royals J, Q, K and A, with the K and A having joint highest value. The symbols that will pay much better amounts are four characters with two women and two men. We assume the man with the tweed hat is supposed to be Mr. Shelby. The highest paying of the regular icons is the game logo.

There are two extra symbols in the wild and the scatter. The wild acts as all regular icons in order to possibly complete winning combinations. The only symbol it doesn't act as is the scatter, which we'll discuss next.

The bonus feature in Speaky Spins is where you want to focus. This is where some really great winnings can come from. You get to sit back and watch reels spinning without having to place bets, which is all thanks to free spins.

You trigger the free spins by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Depending on how many scatters you landed, you'll be awarded 8, 12 or 20 free spins, so triggering the feature with five scatters is always best.

During free spins, you will have Locked Wilds in play, and these are simply sticky wilds, meaning they lock into place for five spins whenever they land. This makes landing wins way easier in that you'll have 'joker cards' on the reels to complete possible win lines.

Sneaky Spinners is a chip off of the legitimate Peaky Blinders title by Pragmatic Play, and while it could have actually been a better online slots release, the reels aren't special from anything we have seen before. Although the paying potential isn't too bad as if you land enough winning combos in regular play or the free spins feature you will definitely have the returns you're looking for.
