Voila Slot Review

Sometimes when you pack a suitcase, you try to put so much in it there’s no way it can ever get shut. Well, this slot from Microgaming tries to jam in every single French cliché that it can and in a very entertaining way.

There are some fantastic opportunities to get big wins in this game and even if you’re not that fond of the French, you might just grow to love them when the big wins start heading in your direction.

French Fancy

There’s a lot to be said about the French and most of it is good. The stunning sights in Paris, some decent football teams, art galleries, beaches and can we include French Fries? Now you can add this slot game to the list of French related items that you love. As for all the horrible things, you think about the French, you can write those, I want to keep this job.

This is a five-reel game that has three rows of symbols but no strict pay-line structure. Instead, there are 243 different ways to win. That’s achieved by wins being paid for matching symbols on adjacent reels in the left to right direction. The minimum cost of playing this game is €0.01 and the maximum you can be spending on one spin of the reels is €120.

The symbols in this game certainly have a distinctly French feel to them as does the background to the reels. That shows the Eiffel tower in all its glory. As for the symbols, we have such French delicacies as duck a l’orange, snails in garlic, lobster, bread and cheese and eclairs. There’s a woman feeding some pigeons, a posh restaurant where it probably costs a fortune to eat a couple gazing at the Eiffel Tower, an open top car, and a kissing couple.

There are some good wins to be had in this game, and that’s even before you get into the free spins round (more about that soon). Five of the tourists will get you 250x your line bet and five of the kissing couple wins you 200x.

To be able to set your stake for each spin, simply head down to the bottom of the screen. It’s as easy as getting Quasimodo to ring your bells. To learn all about the game, access the paytable and have some free games to see all the features in action.

Go Wild in Paris

It’s the Voila! Logo with the Eiffel Tower in the background that is the wild symbol here. It’s a symbol you’ll want to see as much as the River Seine when visiting Paris. It can substitute for other symbols (the wild not the Seine) and hopefully get you some wins. Even better is the news that it has a multiplier attached to it. One wild doubles a win, two triples it and three quadruples the win. The gold euro coins are the scatter symbol and the wild can’t sub for it as that’d increase your chances of getting into the bonus feature.

Gallic Generosity

There are free spins and then there are Gallic free spins. Twenty of them are available if at least three of the Euro coins’ scatter symbol appear anywhere on the reels. There’s good news here because any wins that you get will be doubled during the free spins. If more scatters come along then the free spins can be re-triggered. That can make this a very lucrative round.

Go for the Gamble?

As well as having some free spins, this busy slot also has a gamble feature. Just like having too many glasses of Champagne, be a bit careful with this. After each win in the base game, you can either collect your win or gamble it. It’s the playing card game again, correctly guess the colour of the next card to double your win or the colour of the suit to quadruple it. Try this with a pack of cards to discover how difficult this can be if you keep pressing that gamble feature. Don’t give wins back too often because if you get the guess wrong, you lose all that you’ve just won.

French Delight?

This is another entertaining slot from Microgaming. The theme is well adhered to and the slot has a good look and sound to it. The bonus game can certainly get you some good wins, be careful with that gamble feature though.
