The Great Albini 2

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up for the 8^th wonder of the world. This isn’t some unbelievable landmark or something of natural beauty, but rather a source of entertainment and potential cash wins that will leave your mouth hanging on the floor. It’s The Great Albini 2, a follow-up release by Foxium that brings a collect feature back to your screens. The best online slot games in the UK wouldn’t be complete without just that extra bit of added value, and you’ll find it here in the form of a collect feature that adds magical multipliers to your wagers. Dim the lights, as it’s time for the show to start.

This is one of Foxium’s latest online casino games, and in the short space of time this studio has been releasing slot machines in the UK, it's really managed to make a name for itself. Obviously, the ability to profit off the casino games is one thing, but the design and special effects of the titles are usually second to none. The theme revolves around a magician named The Great Albini, and in such was the success of the original game that Foxium decided to make a sequel. Interestingly, we’re not too sure whether this online slots series or The Great Gambini’s Night Magic by Ash Gaming is winning the magician is winning the race for supremacy of the magician theme. All jokes aside, you’ll be able to play this slot for free in demo mode as well as for real cash, and it can all be done from mobile devices.

There's isn't a big wagering window from which to select stake sizes, with the minimum amount being 0.20 and the highest 12.00 While the odd player might be frustrated by the inability to drop stratospheric bets, most iGamers will find this window satisfactory. Something that will get all players dreaming, regardless of wagering preferences, is the maximum potential win amount of 20,000x a bet. You can find a massive selection of slots online here, and not many have maximum win numbers going as high as that.

The regular symbols are the ones that will be falling most often and therefore responsible for making up the majority of 3, 4 and 5 of a kind winning combinations. These are divided into lower and higher-paying categories, with playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A making up the lower-paying. The higher paying are a selection of objects, plus Albini’s lady assistant. The highest paying regular icon is Albini himself.

The wild symbol is valuable in that it acts like any of the regular icons in the game to help create winning combinations. The only two symbols the wild won’t substitute is the scatter and collect. 

Let’s first take a look at the collect feature in The Great Albini 2. You’ll notice that the collect feature only falls on reel 5. Also, you’ll notice that a blue, purple or red gem can fall during regular play, and these gems carry multiplier values – blue 1x – 9x, purple 10x – 20x, and red 25x – 50x. If the collect symbol lands on reel 5 and any of the gems anywhere else on the same spin, then the multiplier values are collected and applied to your stake.

Landing 3 scatter icons on the same spin will trigger a respins feature. You are initially given three respins, and you'll see that only the three different gem symbols spin, along with the lady assistant and Albini. If any of the icons land the respins are set to 3. The assistant landing adds, even more respins, which The Great Albini increases the multiplier awarded by the gems.

It’s always tough to choose between a respins feature versus a free spins feature. If we’re being picky, free spins games also exist where more spins can be added, so we’re leaning towards being disappointed with the lack of a free spins feature. Regardless, the collect feature is fantastic.
