Chip Spin Review

Relax Gaming takes you on a bright and colorful journey to ‘Sin City’, and you’ll see the Vegas version of famous landmarks on either side of the 5x5 grid. The characters on the reels are mostly a shady-looking bunch however, and the Connected Ways system means that paylines tolerate a 1-row margin up or down for matching symbols. It’s somewhat similar to the Cluster Pays engine in practice, but you need to form winning combos from left to right starting with the first reel.

For whatever reason, Relax has decided to go full barebones on the base game, and literally nothing happens except the occasional small to medium payouts. The jazzy soundtrack might keep morale up long enough to trigger either of the bonus rounds however, and non-UK players can always purchase the features instead of waiting. There is a hint of Money Train in the Chip Spin feature, due to the special symbols, but we would have preferred more action also in the base game.

Chip Spin Slot Features

The Free Spins feature is triggered when you land at least 3 scatters anywhere in sight. You get 8 free spins when you land the minimum of 3 scatters, while +2 extra spins are awarded on top of that per extra triggering scatter you land. The bonus round comes with 3 casino chip special symbols as follows:

• Green chip - gives you +1 extra spin.
• Purple chip - increase the multiplier by +1.
• Black chip - turns into a sticky wild symbol.

The Chip Spin Bonus Game is triggered by landing 5+ casino chips anywhere on a base game spin.

You start with only 1 life, and the triggering casino chips flip to reveal a feature or a cash value. All chips you land become sticky as well, and only chips or blanks will land. Lives are lost when you land blanks only, and chips with a small heart icon attached increase your life tally with +1.

The achieved life tally is reset every time you land at least 1 chip in sight, and the feature ends when your life tally goes to zero. The Chip Spin feature comes with special symbols as follows:

• Green chip - award the randomly assigned cash prize.
• Purple Sniper chip - doubles the value of 1 to 3 green chips.
• Black Collector chip - collects the value of all present chips but its own.

Both the Collector and the Sniper chip land with a random number of mini chip icons, and these indicate how many times their respective modifiers will be used. If you fill a whole column with chips, all the green chips are consolidated into a single cash chip.

This frees up space for more chips to land.

Non-UK players can purchase both bonus rounds directly in-game, and the free spins feature will set you back 90x your stake. The Chip Spin feature costs only 70x your stake however, and it guarantees at least 5 chip symbols on the following spin. The Bonus Buy option increases the RTP from 96.41 % to 96.74 %.

The 200 Spins Chip Spin Slot Experience

The featureless base game wasn’t all that exciting, but we gave it a fair chance anyway. We purchase both features in the 3-minute highlights video you can check out below. The free spins round starts at the 30-seconds mark, and we pay for the Chip Spins feature at 1:40. We’re not gonna reveal much more up front however, but you can check out how we fared by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Paying homage to the casino mecca, Las Vegas, has been done in many slots already, but Relax Gaming does a fine job at it in Chip Spin. Completely stripping the base game of features, even down to the lack of wilds, might not be the most balanced decision however. Those lucky enough to be able to purchase the bonus rounds are at an advantage in that regard, as grinding along to trigger either can take a while.

The free spins round comes with the classic, yet potentially deadly, combo of sticky wilds and increasing multiplier, and the capped 25,000x potential is solid enough to get most players' attention.

For how long is another question, as the Chip Spin round can be brutal when everything hangs in the ultra-thin thread of a single life. When things go your way, however, it plays like a less intense version of Money Train 2, albeit with half the potential.

Pros

• Free spins w/ sticky wilds and multiplier
• Chip Spin w/ 2 special symbols
• Win up to 25,000x your stake

Cons

• No base game features (not even wilds)

If you enjoy Chip Spin Slot you should also try:

Money Train 2 - unlike the original game, you get a respins feature with progressive multiplier in the base game here. The money cart streak respins feature comes with a whopping 11 special symbols, and this can lead to payouts up to 50,000x your stake.

Dinopolis - is a Push Gaming homage to Las Vegas, based around a 90s sitcom about dinosaur people. You will benefit from dino coin multipliers up to 1,000x, as well as a 5-tier bonus round with up to 3 stacked and sticky multiplier wilds. This can all lead to payouts up to 50,000x your stake.

Vegas Cash Spins - is a casino-themed release from Inspired Gaming, and it comes with expanding wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4. The big attraction is the streak respins cash wheels feature, where you’ll merge cash wheels for bigger wins.

There are 4 jackpots up for grabs too, worth up to 1,000x your stake.
