Vortex Slot
Anything is possible with iSoftBet, even time travel, all you need to do is play Vortex and you’ll be able to travel across some exotic destinations long since lost to our modern world. Okay, in truth you don’t actually go there, but you virtually do, which is like the next best thing.
The 9 paylines and 5-reels of this contemporary slot machine not only portray a specific theme, but they have the most interesting set of aesthetics we’ve seen in awhile; iSoftBet have really made the look their own. The caricature stylings of the symbols go some way to describe what you see, but it still doesn’t quite do the design justice.
Despite you going back and forth through time, almost as effortlessly as the Doctor, you appear to be in the middle of some jungle, palm trees and an orange sky washing the background in lively colours. Why you’re there and what’s gone wrong is for you to find out, using the special features of the slot machine to guide you in the right direction. Oh, and towards a ton of money.
Malfunction
Something’s gone wrong with the machine (like you expected anything less), meaning that the fuel type has been changed from electricity to cash. Go figure, right? Anyway, now that money is all that Vortex wants, users need to dig into their pockets and pull out some notes. Actually, a couple of silvers will do the trick, sometimes even coppers.
The pay-in starts from a mere 0.01 worth coin on every payline, translating into a small offering of just €0.09, though this can be increased to 0.25 per coin per line, giving you a €45 stake. Then you have all the amounts between the two points, making this a wide reaching online game. Setting the totals are easy thanks to the clearly marked widgets; much like any machine, it works best when it’s used correctly.
Another benefit of Vortex is that it offers Autoplay, a chance to give yourself a break and allow the software to take over, spinning the reels in your place. Two options are presented initially, without any further input from you, but should you wish to see the full range, you only need to tap the associated button. Not only will you be given a choice of rounds, but also be allowed to determine the configurations of your usage.
Double Feature
This isn’t a picture show, but you’ll get a double feature nonetheless, in the form of two bonus levels, one of which will allow you to jump through time. To get the Travel Bonus, you’ll need to get three or more of the symbol, which is a metal door with the word ‘bonus’ in purple. Once you’ve achieved this, and provided the machine doesn’t breakdown, you’ll be able to make your way to four different locations and be in with a chance of winning a return worth 5,000 coins.
In regards to the second bonus, so dubbed the Vortex Bonus Win, you’ll need as many as five and as few as three icons to launch in. After doing so, you’ll be able to choose from a wide range of goodies, such as multipliers, extra games, and so on. Despite this level being less immersive, we actually prefer it due to the range it offers.
Thereafter, all customers can hope to do is win the maximum paytable amount of 1,000 credits, and try to avoid the cheap tiles, like the card suits who payout as little as 5 coins at a time. As you can see, Vortex brings a lot of fun and variety to those who play, with even the demo users able to savour the effects.
Swirling Vortex of Doom
In this instance, the Vortex before you is a good one, not the evil kind that can end the world. Whew, we were starting to get really worried for a second. This slot machine doesn’t look like it’s going to amount to much, and then the gameplay begins to unfold and you notice that you have a hotbed of activity on your hands. Certainly one of iSoftBet’s top titles, and one that will probably be around for some time to come.
