What do you remember about the seventies? Of course, we’re referring to those of you who were alive to experience such an age. Perhaps you recall the varying trends of the era, where polyester became the materiel of choice for many garments, as well as bright, vivid colours. Or perhaps it’s the movies of the age that you’re more familiar with, such as The Godfather or Rocky or even A Clockwork Orange. How about the music as well? Funk, soul, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, disco. All of these genres carved out their respective niches in the seventies, with artists like David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Isaac Hayes and Neil Young all putting in appearances. If you were a kid in that day and age, you might have more of a recollection of different toys from back then, such as the See-n-Say or Cowboy and Indian Playsets. Whatever your memories of the 70s are, NetEnt have managed to assist you with remembering even more in their slot game entitled, The Funky Seventies. And boy were they ever a funky decade. And you can’t have such a game without incorporating a perfectly adequate piece of music for its soundtrack, something which the developer has mastered yet again.

Do you know what’s better than going to a supermarket to find your groceries? Buying your fruit and vegetables from a stall. Haven’t you noticed that the fruit always looks fresher and more appealing when displayed on such, and that’s exactly what NetEnt captures in its Fruit Shop game, which shows you a variety of different fruits on its reels that are akin to those found on such stalls. And the design of the game on the whole is exceptionally pleasing, featuring a striped, fabric roof overhanging the stall, with blades of grass sticking up at the left side of the screen.

It doesn’t really have any inclusive music, instead playing a simple ditty at the beginning of every spin you make, but then again, this is perfectly adequate. After all, what kind of music really matches up to a game based on fruits? However, even without any actual music included in it, the atmosphere of the game is by no means affected, and you still have a wonderful product to play.

Much like their video slots entitled ‘Flowers’ and ‘Flowers Christmas Edition’, NetEnt decided to take one of their other popular products in Fruit Shop and transform it into a wintry Christmas edition of the game as well. That being the case, you’ll get to experience all the great features of the first offering of this game, but it’s provided in an entirely winter scene. So, you’ll find a snowman to the left of the reels, who also has a gift wrapped present in front of him. A Christmas tree exists on the right hand side of the screen, all decorated up with candy canes and baubles, while snow has been spread right along the front of the stall.

In addition, all of the icons on the reels have been given a bit of an icy make over as well. When it comes down to it, it’s just about the exact same game as the original released version, but presented to you in a Christmas scene instead. There’s even a jingle of bells at the start of each of your spins, adding a little bit more aptness to it.

While the term ‘Fruit Case’ does make us think of a crazy person, it’s quite an adequate title for this game, which you’ll realise once you see the icons on display within. You’ll basically be taken along to a factory where fruit is squashed and pressed to turn it into jam, and there’s nothing more entertaining than the expressions on the faces of the fruit included in the game. There isn’t really any kind of scenery included alongside the standard interface of the game, except for a tube across the top of the reels which is splattered with various fruit juices.

There isn’t really any kind of apt soundtrack that could be included in a game with this theme, so NetEnt have decided to leave it silent for the most part. The only sound that is made comes along when the reels are spinning, and this is a gentle tinkling noise. Graphically, everything is designed in a nice enough way, providing you with fun and quirky icons as well as a couple of special features to marvel at.

As we’ve said before, whenever a game developer teams up with a film studio, as NetEnt have done with Universal for this presentation, only good things can be expected for the end product. As it stands, ‘Frankenstein’, provides gamers with a chilling and thrilling release, offering an introductory video package to welcome players and provide a little bit of back story on the monster. After this, you’ll be taken straight to the reels, where you’ll be able to relive every moment of the story right on the reels in front of you. NetEnt have injected a creepy and mysterious soundtrack in to the game as well, giving it just the right edge of horror, whilst maintaining a compelling product to play. Graphically speaking, it offers up a visual treat for the eyes, with detailed symbols incorporated into it, as well as the surrounding scenery of Dr. Frankenstein’s basement laboratory.

Have you ever wanted to visit a psychic? A seer? A fortune teller? Whatever name you give to such a person, one can’t help but be intrigued by such a prospect of someone being able to look in to your future. Fortune telling is, of course, the practice of predicting information about a person’s life, and this is done via a variety of methods, such as pendulum reading, tarot reading, crystallomancy and chiromancy, to name but a few. It’s a fairly common assumption, and one that is backed up readily by this game, that fortune telling is synonymous with the gypsy world. As such, you’ll get to take a little trip into a gypsy’s caravan, take a seat at her table and hear what she has to say to you.

The imagery of this game is perfectly suited to its theme, and everything has been designed with a wonderfully special attention to detail. NetEnt have also provided perfect sounds for the game as well, with the quiet jingling of wind chimes making their presence known, and offering up an air of mystery to the product as well. Meanwhile, the rattling sound of bones, as practised in cleromancy, can be heard in every spin.

Perhaps NetEnt never really realised how popular their ‘Flowers’ game was going to be, but in hindsight, it should have been a no brainer. A game which brings so much colour and joy to your screen is bound to impress video slot gamers. So, it seemed only natural for our favourite developer to provide its players with a follow up game in the form of the ‘Flowers Christmas Edition’ product. It takes on all the same characteristics of the original, but presents you with a more wintry offering, draped in blankets of snow, Christmas lights and fir trees.

The remainder of the game is pretty much the same, although whereas the first version provided you with buzzing bees and squawking geese, the background noises of this one has eliminated such traits and opted solely for the tweeting bird sounds. Furthermore, whenever you spin the reels, there’s a jingle of bells in this one, rather than the springtime cheer of the last one. So, now you have a choice of playing a more Christmassy themed version of Flowers, or the regular sunny spring offering.

It’s quite usual for flowers and plant life to be synonymous with the spring and summer months of the year. It’s when you’ll see them blooming to their full, beautiful potential, with wonderful scents coming from them at the same time. It’s with this kind of scenario in mind that NetEnt has created its online video slot entitled, ‘Flowers’. You’ll find that there are several features of this game which allow it to be as entertaining as it is, and not only that, but graphically speaking as well, it’s a really great offering. The developer has also included background noises of bees buzzing around, birds tweeting in the trees, and a goose squawking in the background, to name but a few.

Bringing these features all together in this one game is a thoroughly compelling experience, and we’d suggest to anyone to play this product at least once to see if you’re not hooked instantly.

For a game with a bit of history and culture behind it, look no further than NetEnt’s ‘Fisticuffs’ offering, which will take you back to the early 1900s. It was at this time that boxing was considered a gentleman’s sport, and although early fighting had no written rules, no weight divisions or round limits, and no referee either, it was still considered to be a sport for the upper class man. It would be in 1897 that rules for competing in the sport would be drafted in to play, and amateur championship belts were also created for such, offering up a lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight title.

Twelve rules were initially introduced, including those which made fights have three minute rounds and a one minute rest interval between, as well as making them a ‘fair stand-up boxing match’.

With Fisticuffs, you’ll be taken back to those glory days, and this is never more apparent than with the inclusive sounds that NetEnt have provided, offering up the thrill and excitement of an actual boxing hall. There’s also a touch of comedy about it, thanks to the added piece of music which plays with every spin of the reels.

We love online slot games which are set underwater. There’s never a dull moment when you’re able to traverse the coral reefs, swim around with the colourful marine life and feel free and relaxed within the water. And, if you’re not able to do that any time soon, perhaps the Fishy Fortune slot game from NetEnt will manage to take you one step closer to the reality of it happening. However, this one also has a progressive jackpot included with it as well, which makes it even more compelling than the standard online slot games.

As the story goes, you’ll be searching under the sea for buried treasure, and with the jackpot included, you just might find it! NetEnt have included some wonderful sound effects with the sounds of air bubbles from nearby fish and the swishing of the waves above you providing more than enough of an atmosphere for you as you spin the reels.
