Emoticoins
Love em’ or hate em’ emoticons or emoji are here to stay! Those funny little faces that let us say just how we’re feeling have gone one step further and turned into cheeky slot symbols in this Microgaming slot – the Emoticoins slot!
The game has an upbeat and colourful vibe to go with the emoji theme (brighter than the Fortune Girl slot even!), with a bright background of empty speech bubbles- we don’t need words when we have these cheeky face to say just the right thing.
The reels are in a simple frame and the focus is on the bold and bright icons that give good vibes.
This game has feel-good written all over it, if you can ignore the slightly repetitive but jolly sounding elevator style music!
I was ready to get all happy face and hop on those reels for some winning smiles!
Mobile First
Emoticoins is one of Micogaming’s Mobile First generation games (like Six Acrobats and Fortune Girl) which means that this game looks just as good on a mobile or tablet as it does on a desktop or laptop. Play it on the go!
Emoticoins Game Play
Emoticoins has 3 rows, 5 reels and 30 pay-lines- that’s 3 times as many as the Space Invaders slot by the way. We’re just saying!
Of course, all the high value icons are some of our all time favourite emoticons: a cheeky winking face, blowing a kiss, sticking out a tongue, the cool dude emoji in sunglasses, and a smiling face. The lower value icons are the A through 10 of the card deck.
Keep your eyes open for the Wild; an Emoticoins logo which substitutes for all other logos except for the Scatter icon. Naturally the Scatter is our old friend the LOL symbol. Who doesn’t love that one?
The features in this game are all about the Wild which is the key to unlock all those alluring extras and this slot has some pretty good ones.
Having a blast or simply getting sticky?
A nice little feature in Emoticoins is its randomly triggered Wild Blast feature which can just pop up in play. Keep your eyes open for that Emoticoins logo as when this mode comes online; 5 more Wilds can enter the reels for the next spin, guaranteeing a win! Now that’s the kind of blast we’re down for!
