We’re not ones for the promotion of violence or crime, but we have always wondered what it would be like to be accepted as a member of a gangster mob, going on criminal heists of our own. If you’re the same, now you can get one step closer to that action by playing the NetEnt slot game, Reel Steal. You’re definitely dropped right in to the thick of things with this one, and there’s all the imagery of a real mobster lot, from items that have been looted, to pictures of the criminal parties involved. Not only that, but the game contains a guitar-plucked soundtrack that simply screams out to the Godfather film buffs in us, so we’re all for spinning a few rounds of this one. Graphically speaking, this one is a pleasure to behold, with high quality images and animations taking place within. Add to that a nice selection of special features, and it all comes together to form a very welcome addition to the NetEnt catalogue of products.

Reel Rush could be considered one of NetEnt’s most innovative and compelling games that they’ve ever created. That’s despite it looking like something straight out of a Nintendo GameBoy product. If it had some retro 80s music included with it, it would be a sure fire rip off of Super Mario Bros. However, in this particular case, it doesn’t. That being said, the background that has been worked in to the game is completely out of this era, with curved-edged oblong shapes for hills and trees able to be seen in the background. It also has a unique layout to it, which can be seen instantly upon loading up the game, which we’ll discuss more in a few moments. Graphic-wise, everything is done in the highest quality, although the icons used in the game are pretty standard on the whole. And just reverting back to the aforementioned soundtrack, Reel Rush does have one, although it’s a lot more serene during game play, only bursting into an up tempo tone when wins are formed.

We’ve said it before numerous times and we’ll say it again, games developers need to stop using Ancient Egypt as their basis for creating products. It’s been very much overly done. That being said, NetEnt has managed to use the topic in the most successful way, providing a few different games with this theme as their basis. However, Pyramid: Quest for Immortality might just be the best one they’ve made yet. It takes place at the forefront of a pyramid, with two columns of Egyptian deities stood at either side of the reels. NetEnt have also included a nicely appropriate piece of music in the game as well, ensuring that your game play isn’t marred by anything which could be considered annoying or frustrating. Graphically speaking, it’s of the usual high quality that this developer provides, and this extends beyond towards its animations and general game play. Not only that, but it’s also host to a number of different special features, all of which merge together with the standard base game play to ensure that you’re accessing a fun and entertaining product.

When it comes to some of the older products released by our favourite developer NetEnt, Pirate’s Gold stands and head and shoulders above a lot of them. While it isn’t as graphically sound as some of the more recent releases, and it doesn’t feature any kind of special layout, it does have a certain uniqueness about it, and we’re always eager to play it on days when we’ve had enough of the ultra-modern slot games – yes, it does happen on occasions. Whenever you access Pirate’s Gold, you’ll be presented with the game on a traditional machine cabinet, which seems to be located within a land-based establishment. You can see another machine behind it, and various plants and light fittings are able to be viewed all around the place. The interface of the game offers up the reels at the bottom of the screen, while a pirate and his green parrot are present overhead. Meanwhile, part of his ship and the cannons attached to it are also visible in the background.

We can’t say that we’ve ever thought about what it would be like if pigs were ever rich – especially considering they’re fairly happy if given the ability to roll about in mud and chew on their favourite food whenever they please. However, NetEnt have taken the idea of rich piggys a little further, and have created the slot game entitled Piggy Riches. It is with this elaborately thought up game that you have the ability to see exactly what pigs might decide to spend thousands and thousands of Euros on, if they had the possibility of doing so. Apparently, holding a party would be their first desire, as the sound of a champagne bottle cork popping out and the bubbly liquid being poured in to flutes can be heard in the background amongst lots of chatter. Further to this, the game seems to take place in a lavish mansion of some kind, with the ornately decorated gate being visible on the left hand side of the reels, while the building itself can be seen on the right. On the whole, this game provides an entertaining and creative insight into the life of a pig family with lots of cash to spend!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Greek mythology, Pandora’s Box is taken from the myth of Pandora’s creation in Hesiod’s ‘Works and Days’. The box in question wasn’t actually a box at all, and instead took the form of a large jar given to Pandora. It contained all the evils of the world, and when she opened the jar up, they all flew out into the world, leaving only ‘hope’ inside once she had closed it again. As for the character of Pandora, in Greek mythology, she was the first woman on Earth after Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create her. He did this using water and earth, and the gods went on to imbue her with many gifts, such as clothing, beauty, musical ability and speech. Such a tale provides a great basis for an online video slot, and NetEnt took it upon themselves to create exactly that. Of course, it is all shrouded in mystery, and the visual background of the game clearly emphasises this, with its mystical smoke swirling around the darkness. As for the reels, these are filled with imagery of Ancient Greece, and have been surrounded by vine leaves and grapes. There isn’t really any kind of soundtrack included, but you will get to hear the desolate sound of wind blowing through the underworld as you play.

If you enjoy a slot game with a bit of a twist, you need not look any further than Neon Staxx. You’ll find that this game has a completely retro 80s type of theme to it, right down to the electronic sounding piece of music playing in the background as you spin the reels. Actually, that’s one of the main reasons that we like it so much. However, that’s not the only great thing about this game, because you’ll also find that the reels are designed in a slightly different way to a standard video slot product. If things are looking a little bit slanted, that’s because they are. Neon Staxx’s reels are sloped backwards to create a bit more of a unique look to the game, and this provides it with one of its unique features. The reels themselves are played against a backdrop of what appears to be a computer generated land, with an almost ‘Tron’ feel to it, which highlights the 80s feel even more. You’ll certainly get plenty of hours of fun and entertainment out of this one, and that’s even before you’re able to experience its special features!

NetEnt claims that this slot game takes place in a lost attic filled with the relics and oddities of an experienced traveller. We’re not entirely sure how an attic is able to be lost, but in any event, what we are sure about is the greatness of this game. Because it takes place in a supposedly lost attic, you’ll have all the creepy sounds of floorboards creaking, as well as the droning noise of what could potentially be a magical traveller. The game is set against a backdrop of the loft in question, with many chests and boxes filled with artefacts, relics, masks, maps and heaven knows what else. This person has obviously been all over the world to fill up their attic in such a way, but don’t worry, we’re sure you’ll be able to sort through everything in order to discover the myths and mysteries behind such trinkets. You’ll find that all the graphics and animations included within this product are very expertly done, presenting you with a wonderful selection of icons and game play features which will ensure that you’re entertained from start to finish. And if thats not enough, we’re fairly sure that you’ll enjoy being watched on from the sidelines by the scary, locked chest with a face.

There’s been a crime committed in the nearby mansion, and it’s up to you to figure out exactly who is the guilty party. Could it be the butler? Or perhaps it’s the gardener? Or how about the maid? In any event, it has to be one of them, and you get to try and solve the mystery by playing NetEnt’s wonderful game, Mystery at the Mansion. When you read about it and when you see it, this game reminds you so much of the popular board game, Cluedo. There are several ties to the game, not only in the idea behind the game and the fact that there are characters included on the reels, but also due to the fact that there are several different murder weapons included as symbols as well. The reels of the game are set out against a backdrop of one of the mansion’s rooms, featuring a blazing open fire, a shields and swords on the wall, and luxurious red velvet curtains at either side. There’s just one question that remains. Are you able to track down the killer and put an end to everyone else’s nightmare?

We frequently find ourselves uninspired and not knowing where to turn in the world, and the Ancient Greeks were often the same. That’s why they had various muses to whom they could turn to, ask their burning questions, and receive the answers they needed to continue on with life. Unfortunately, we don’t have such knowledgeable people to turn to in our every day lives, so it’s quite fortunate that NetEnt have brought forth an online slot game which will allow us to gain a little bit of inspiration from somewhere. That game has been entitled, Muse. It does, of course, take place in Ancient Greece, with the reels being played upon a background of various different temples and houses, as well as floating clouds and deep skies. There’s an almost heavenly ring with every spin of the reels you make, while special features included in the game are what makes it even more appealing on the whole.
