High Flyer Slot Review

You might not call High Flyer a video slot. There are no reels, no paylines, and no symbols to match. All you can see is one little aeroplane rising across a nearly blank screen. This game comes with one aim and one aim alone: to cash in your bet before the plane flies away completely and leaves you with nothing. It might be nothing like the regular Pragmatic Play slots you may have encountered before, but if you’re a responsible player, you could still give it a go.

The Plane

All attention in the High Flyer slot goes to the plane. Without the reels and symbols you’d find in more regular slots, this is the only real spot of colour (other than the bright green of the confirm bet button, which turns red for cancel bet) and it’s the most significant piece of animation. It’s not some super flashy fighter jet, but a period piece and a classic biplane that aims to stir the soul of anyone with a passion for aviation history. Its colour is almost gold as it rises up across the screen, leaving a trail behind it.

And the Empty Sky

The loading screen of the High Flyer slot shows that biplane floating at the centre of a purplish evening sky, with towering clouds adding some visual texture. Most of this disappears in the game proper. The “sky” that hosts the biplane is mostly grey, much like the surrounding area where you find various buttons and controls, although there’s a light that shifts between blue and purple. The background is animated, turning slowly, with the rays spreading out like the sun or a searchlight. A pleasant melody plays continuously through all stages of the game.

How to Play High Flyer

Pay extra attention to our High Flyer slot review because this game doesn’t have the mechanics of regular slots:

1. It’s in the top corner where you’ll find the game rules and the paytable, if you can call it that. Remember that the payout potential isn’t dependent on your number of winning symbols.


2. You’ll also find a settings page in the top corner. It lets you separate sound, music and effects, and adjust them incrementally rather than just switching them on and off.


3. Available bets, from the 0.1 minimum, can be seen at the bottom of the screen. There’s an adjustor next to the confirm bet button. You’ll need to confirm before you can play.


4. Once the plane starts flying, bets will close and you won’t be able to adjust it until the current round comes to an end.


5. The game may timeout automatically if you leave it too long. You also need to know when you’ll walk away for yourself.


6. What hasn’t changed from regular slots is the need for budgeting, limits, and maybe even self-exclusion to ensure you’re gambling responsibly.


7. In line with this, there’s an auto cashout option to make sure you claim at your limit and don’t keep pushing your luck.


8. Your game history can be viewed if you want to track your progress.

Have fun, and stay in control.

How to Win at High Flyer

Slots are normally about reels, paylines and trying to match up winning symbols, but none of that is relevant to playing High Flyer, which uses a system known as crash mechanics. As the plane rises, so does the value of the attached win multiplier. You need to cash out while that multiplier is still rising. If you leave it too long and the plane goes so high that it leaves the screen (the crash), you lose. Your total win will depend on when you cash out, not on your symbol values.

Top Wins

• There is a paytable for High Flyer, but it doesn’t show you the ranks of different symbols.


• The crash multiplier starts at x1, but cashout becomes available at x1.01.


• Overall, the max crash multiplier is x1,000,000.

High Flyer Bonuses

We would talk about the High Flyer bonus features in this section, but there aren’t any. The game might not have a scatter symbol, but you may expect it to have some equivalent of a free spins bonus to let you occasionally play without having to risk the same stakes. Instead, High Flyer is stripped back to its base game, which may appeal to those of you who wish modern slots could be a bit simpler.

High Flyer Review - Summary

You can’t fully compare High Flyer to other slots because its structure is so different. The base game is devoid of all the usual things you’d expect to see, with no spinning reels or regular symbols. If you like aeroplanes, you may enjoy the aviation-inspired design, but whether you find the crash mechanics a refreshing change or too much of a deviation is probably all down to personal preference. There are more regular real-money slots available in various casinos if that’s more to your taste.
