The Grape Escape Slots
A 25-payline, 5-reel affair from the troops at Habanero Gaming Systems, the Grape Escape is – aside from an interactive video slot game with perhaps the greatest name of all time – a game for the people.
By this, we mean that it is suited to just about anyone who may wish to try their hand a little slots oriented gambling. From youngsters (well, teenagers: folks – 18+ only!) trying their luck with their first ever spin of the reels, to hardened veterans of the practice with decades of experience behind them, the Grape Escape offers something for everyone.
Indeed, the school of games capable of doing this – and by this we mean offering a multi faceted game that is both gripping and appealing enough to warrant a continued stream of players of all ages, tastes and preferences – seems to be shrinking by the quarter. Without naming any names, there’s but a handful of games that offer this universal appeal; with the wider industry now awash with an assortment of consoles all carefully tailored to a specific group as opposed to all demographics.
Before progressing to discuss the finer details of the game, we’ll part with the knowledge that The Grape Escape is a serious contender for induction to this holiest of holy universally appealing groups. Whether this is down to its absolutely and undeniably brilliant name or something a little deeper, we don't know. But we’re intent on finding out.
Grape Stuff
The game’s environment is highly decorative a fully awash with a whole host of intriguing features, some of which are standard and some of which are a little more creative. Packing a host of modern amenities into what may be best and most accurately described as a retro pub fruit and vegetables slot machine, The Grape Escape is one of those games which manages to merge the modern with the classic.
These games are among our favourites for obvious reasons and what’s more; the espousing of the old with the new is a surefire way to develop a game that will not only appeal to a far wider demographic, but will likely stand the biggest test of them all: the test of time.
After your eyes have been given adequate time to absorb the veritable feast on offer as part of this game’s many visual aspects, you’re likely to begin to notice the vibrant and classic soundtrack which does well, once more, to merge the old with the new.
All in all, the game’s theme is nothing short of exceptional – if what you seek is a principled, relaxed yet exciting environment in which to conduct your wagering business then you needn't look much further at all.
Old School Features
Double bars, single bars, pound signs (makes a nice change from dollars!) and cherries all combine to give The Grape Escape some seriously heavy duty, old school symbolic features. All of the usual wilds and scatters are present within the game and serve the same function as you’d find elsewhere.
Where this game really endeavours to stand apart is with the little extra that you just don’t really see about that much anymore. For a start, players will receive regular ‘Trail Holds’ during gameplay, which effectively allow them to strategically hold the numbers that are in closest proximity to the symbols in order to aid their chances of advancing towards a decent jackpot.
What’s more, players can also utilise the games ‘Nudge Feature’ in order to boost their pay lines. This feature can also be used to bring in some additional trail numbers which too can drastically improve gamer odds. Yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen – there are some extremely old school features on offer here!
