Floridita Fandango Slots
Relax with Floridita Fandango, a 3-reel slot machine by Microgaming that takes its theme from the famous fish restaurant and cocktail bar in Havana. Players of the game can make themselves a cocktail of wins with various refreshing beverage symbols, not to mention a series of classic symbols from slot machine history.
This game may appear to be of a different class altogether with its luxurious appearance, however players might be slightly disappointed to discover that there are no special bonus elements on offer. Nonetheless, if you spin the game in the right way, then you could be in store for some wins that are worth 12,500 credits.
The Story of the Floridita Cocktail Bar
The Floridita cocktail bar in the old quarter of Havana is one of the world's most famous watering holes. Opened in 1817, the bar became popular with American tourists and it quickly became famed for its incredibly talented cantineros (or bartenders) who could mix up some of the best daiquiris in the world.
The bar doesn't just hold an important place in the history of cocktails, but it also played an integral role in the development of twentieth century literature, thought and culture, being favourite drinking places for writers such as Ezra Pound, John Dos Passos and Graham Greene. However, the bar is perhaps best known for being one of the favourite haunts of Ernest Hemingway but, then again, Hemingway probably frequented more pubs and bars in the world than every other writer of his generation combined!
Classy Spins for a Classy Bar
Staying true to the real Floridita bar, this slot machine has designed its logo in the same Latin style font of the original bar's sign. What's more, the game features a couple of cocktail symbols, giving players a taster of the kind of refreshment on offer at the bar. There are even some classic cherry symbols for players to use as a garnish!
While Floridita Fandango is perfectly colourful and pleasant on the eyes, the slot machine does suffer from being somewhat on the outdated side in comparison to newer titles. Even so, it is perfectly well designed for a 3-reel game which is primarily intended to put the thrill of a spinning win before any fancy aesthetic frills.
The Prize List
Speaking of winning thrills, let's have a look at just how much money can be won when spinning this Microgaming slot machine. Player's won't actually need to look far to find out the prize winning potential of Floridita Fandango because the paytable is presented in all of its enticing glory upon the game screen next to the reels. Although, having said that, inexperienced players might be a bit confused as to how it all works. So, let us briefly explain.
Basically, spinners have to choose whether to play with 1, 2 or 3 coins when they play this slot machine. And whenever a different quantity of coins is chosen, a different prize column will be highlighted, representing the multiplier values that are offered for the various winning symbol combinations that can be aligned on the games only payline. We have recreated that payline below for you to see for yourself:
As you can see, it appears as though playing with 2 or 3 coins will set you up for much more lucrative wins in the grand scheme of things. However, that is not the case since, no matter how many coins are placed on the reels, only one will be multiplied by the values that are represented in the game's paytable. So, in reality, most of the payouts offer the same return in relation to the total bet since the prize values for playing with 2 coins are all doubled and those for playing with 3 coins are (mostly) tripled.
There is one benefit to playing with 3 coins, however. That is because when 3 coins are laid out on the slot machine's payline, players will be able to win a top jackpot prize that is larger in proportion to the prizes that will be awarded when 1 or 2 coins are wagered.
An All Time Classic
If you're tired of struggling to get your head around the confusing spins of complicated video slots, then Floridita Fandango serves up a perfectly chilled and relaxing cocktail of colourful spins. The game may play like a classic, and it does borrow some traditional icons from the retro slot machine genre, but it still manages to offer a very unique theme that pays homage to one of the world's most famous drinking establishments.
