Great Gatsby - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Compelling and rewarding slots are what Dreamtech are all about and their Great Gatsby slot is well worth a spin for its top prize of 1,000x your stake.

This slot features respins and free spins both with a twist. The Unexpected Wealth respins add cash prizes to the reels, while the free spins play out with a reel full of giant 3x3 symbols.

The giant symbols act like expanding wilds and can trigger the Unexpected Wealth bonus.

As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also the Gatsby wild to replace every other symbol except the scatter and complete wins over the generous 50 paylines.

Oozing with luxury, the 12 paytable symbols are dripping with wealth, with just the Q-A royals on display.

Watch out for the glittering diamond scatter and gold coin to unlock the full potential of those bonus features.

While the gameplay isn’t complicated once you start spinning, a few demo mode games are a useful way to assess volatility and hit rate. And this browser based game is perfect to play on the go.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

This Dreamtech demo slots game does a superb job of updating the tale of the mysterious American millionaire, giving him a private jet and yacht moored on the glamorous French Riviera.

All the trappings of wealth are on the reels, from a Rolex watch to a Ferrari, and the game plays out on the deck of Gatsby’s yacht where he’s hoping to impress his gorgeous companion.

As we’ve come to expect from Dreamtech, there are myriad small details: the searchlights in the harbour, the lights twinkling off the water and the perfectly groomed lap dog barking its approval. The reels drip with gold accents and a rich purple colour palette.

Everything plays out to the kind of cool, smooth jazz that ties together the Roaring Twenties of the original story and this smooth modern millionaire.

RTP & Volatility

The theoretical RTP is 95.82% for this high variance slot. This will appeal to the risk takers although there’s plenty for all players to enjoy.

Min & Max Bets + Top Wins

Dreamtech states the top win in this slot is 1,000x your stake but landing the right combination of symbols in a high volatility slot can be tricky, so expect to see lower returns unless you get lucky like Gatsby. These are the top 5 of a kind wins in the base game:

- Woman pays 150x
- Diamond pays 100x
- Ferrari pays 100x
- Jet pays 100x

Bonus Features

Great Gatsby builds potential through the respins and free spins features. There’s also a one-off scatter prize and the Gatsby wild.

Unexpected Wealth Feature

6 or more gold coins will trigger this respins feature. All coins fix on the reels and you’ll be awarded 3 respins. Any additional coins trigger 3 more respins and fix on the reels.

When no more respins can be awarded, the sum on the coins is totalled and awarded as a prize.

Free Spins Feature

3 or more diamond scatters appearing anywhere on the reels will trigger the free spins feature. You’ll be awarded 6 free games. Reels 2, 3 and 4 are replaced by a single reel with giant 3x3 symbols. The Unexpected Wealth feature can be triggered when you land a gold coin on the central reel.

Our Verdict

Dreamtech has really captured the style of a modern day Gatsby in this luxury slot.

The impressive and ever growing collection of slots from this developer offers plenty to enjoy, even if the volatility means you won’t get as wealthy as Gatsby in a hurry.

Gatsby offers players a fully rounded playing experience at a price, so with volatility in mind, Net Ent’s Moonshine Riches online slot offers players a similar theme with low-medium volatility.
