Magnet Gaming – Innovating Since Forever
Magnet Gaming might not be the biggest name in the iGaming industry, but it is certainly one that draws attention.
A lot of this stature has to do with the fact that Magnet Gaming has always been at the forefront of innovation when it comes to slot developing. From automated slots to the ones that pay out instantly, Magnet Gaming slots have always been embraced by slot lovers for their sheer innovation value.
Auction Day stands up to this reputation of the developer by offering a host of new features like double-progressive jackpot and as many as three mini games – all complimentary!
The First Impression – It Matters
Like most things in life, the first impression matters for slots too. We don’t think Auction Day has got too much to worry about in that department, though, simply because it looks fabulous right from the loading screen to the payout screen.
Employing the best 3D graphics of modern day, Magnet Gaming has made sure that Auction Day looks as clean and as sophisticated as some of the high-end slots that are out there to entertain high-rollers. The symbols are crisp and clear, the reel spinning graphics are eye catching and most importantly, there is no clutter on the screen.
Using HTML5 codecs, the game loads, launches and plays out at lightning fast speeds if you have a good internet connection, and it can be played on phones/tablets with just as much of ease as it can be played on desktops/laptops.
With all the achievable bases covered, the only thing left to discuss now is the gameplay itself. Let’s get a move on…
You Better Be Ready When the Gavel Comes Down!
Because that’s when you have the best chance of shooting down some precious antiques at cheap prices and win coins in the process. There are 3 reels of 3 rows each, assisted ably by 8 paylines. Conspiracies involving all of these will dictate how and what you will be taking home, come the close of play.
The gameplay comes up with its own twists and turns. It is certainly not as straightforward as hitting the ‘Spin’ button and sitting back in anticipation. You will be required to be on alert throughout the game, as some symbols (especially the high paying ones) have a tendency to take you by surprise.
Gearing up for the Big Auction
The backdrop for this slot provided by, as can be guessed easily, an auction house. 9 squares created by 3x3 reels will play hosts to a variety of items that are being auctioned, awaiting right prices from right kind of people.
Hitting 5-of-its-kind combinations can be quite difficult here, because the number of symbols (up to 10) is on the higher side. But that’s fine, because 4-on-4 symbols offer a good rate of returns, too. You are allowed to wager up to 10 coins per line, meaning that your wagers are limited by 80 coins per spin. As the maximum coin value is capped at $1, you will be able to wager no more than $80 per spin.
The highest jackpot that one has a fair chance of winning through the base game (remember – we are not taking mini games into consideration here, as at the time of reviewing, they were temporarily made unavailable by the developer) weighs 12,000 coins. It can be worth anything up to $12,000 depending upon your coin values. Not bad for penny wagers, we say!
The progressive jackpots are activated as soon as you make positive wagers.
A Day at the Auction
Auction Day is a highly entertaining slot that looks good and plays even better. We would surely have been more comfortable with higher coin values and more paylines, but in the given setup, the slot still manages to keep the playing field even. And of course, mini games and progressive jackpots are as good deal-clinchers as any!
