The Playboy pokie is a Microgaming release that is based on the famous gentleman’s magazine. The bunny ears make an appearance here, but there is no nudity and this is entirely Safe For Work. This pokie is available in both single player and multiplayer, with the former being the focus of this review.
Gameplay
The Playboy pokie uses illustrated images that, as mentioned above, are SFW, but are also pretty dull. There are standard symbols that have been given a Playboy makeover, and there are also images of smiling playboy bunnies, cars, and more. The magazine symbol is the scatter symbol, and there are 243 ways to win in total.
Betting
Playboy works in coins, which you set the value for. This means that the jackpot of 7, 500 coins is entirely dependent on the value of your stake. When converted, the minimum bet on Playboy works out at just $0. 30, with the maximum being $15.
Bonus Rounds
You need at least three of the magazine symbols to appear anywhere on the reels in order to unlock the free spins round on Playboy. Once unlocked, you will be given a set number of spins and a multiplier, and the more times this round is unlocked, the higher those spins and that multiplier will become. Essentially, this is a multitiered feature, with different Playboy girls representing the different levels.
There is also a randomly triggered feature that turns between 1 and 5 reels completely wild, which has the potential to generate much bigger wins than the free spins feature, but tends to return much less.
Summary
Playboy is one of the best games we have played, but only when talking about the multiplayer version. The single player version is not as generous, but you can play for less and it is still a rewarding and fun game.
