Donut City - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Donut City takes place on a 5x5 reel structure. However, what makes this game interesting is that not all rows are revealed at the start of the game. The game begins with a 1-3-5-3-1 reel set-up, and as the game progresses and players land winning combinations, they are awarded re-spins and more spaces are unlocked on the reels. The reels can expand up to five rows high, offering 3125 ways to win. The objective is to have donut symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the left at reel 1.

The game features a total of 12 symbols, which are a variety of iced donuts, including one special Wild donut. The Wild appears only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the base game and the Free Spin round, and the Wild substitutes for all of the other donut symbols to help complete winning combinations.

Donut City is one of the Smartsoft Gaming free slots available right here to play in demo mode. Demo mode offers players the perfect way of getting to know a slot game without needing to risk any real money, so is a great way of trying out a new slot.

Overall Review

Firstly, Donut City is a great-looking slot game. The HD symbols, 3D background and vibrant colours mean the game is eye-catching and engaging. The donut theme is appealing. There is no story here, so we’re just lining up delicious donuts. Fans of fantasy themed slots, for example, may want something a little more action-packed, but those who enjoy a food themed game and donut-lovers will really find this slot really enjoyable.

It’s the expanding reels in Donut City which really make the game interesting, and the re-spins after every win, with the aim of reaching the Free Spins feature on the 5x5 reels, mean gameplay is really entertaining.
