This week, NetEnt announced the launch of its upcoming online slot, Gods of Gold Infinireels – which sounded a little bit too familiar to slots fans. Just a few months ago, ReelPlay introduced its Infinity Reels series, so it’s no surprise that many players were left wondering about the two series. Well, we’re here to clear up the confusion!
Major Differences Between Infinireels and Infinity Reels
The two game mechanics are based on a similar concept, in that the reels expand sideways as you land – but that’s where the similarities end. NetEnt’s Infinireels and ReelPlay’s Infinity Reels have gameplay that is unique to each series – so, you’ll get a different experience when spinning the reels.
Firstly, there are differences in how to games award wins. In ReelPlay’s Infinity Reels, symbols can pay anywhere as long as five or more appear on the reels. In NetEnt’s Infinireels, you have to land three symbols across the reels.
Then, there’s a difference in how the reels expand in the first instance. On any win, Infinireels expand. Infinity Reels need a matching symbol to appear in the last reel – so, you can land a win without triggering the reel expansion in ReelPlay’s games.
Finally, there are the bonuses. NetEnt’s Infinireels has base game bonuses that offer guaranteed wins while ReelPlay’s Infinity Reels base game bonus offers multipliers. During the free spins, NetEnt’s Infinireels provide guaranteed wins while Infinity Reels feature has a multiplier that doesn’t reset in-between spins.
As both developers create games in these series, it’s likely that there might be more crossover in terms of gameplay – but, as it stands, they are very different.
So, you really should give the games a spin and see what all the buzz is about . NetEnt’s first Infinireels game isn’t out until May 14th , but there are plenty of slots with expanding reels that you can try in the meantime.
