4th Dimension Slot
For players who reminisce over their favourite one-armed bandits, this new offering from JMP Interactive will be a welcome discovery.
4th Dimension is a classic fruit machine with a difference. Not only can you spin the colourful fruit symbols on the regular 3 reels, you also get the chance to activate a 4th mystery reel (the 4th dimension!) which can in turn trigger more paylines, wild symbols, multiplier rewards and even new vertical paylines.
There is also a ‘turbo gamble’ option, which can potentially boost your payout after any win. However, the best part of this slot machine for most players will be the progressive jackpot, which could add a whole other dimension to your play!
Entering the 4th Dimension
There are 3 reels and 5 fixed paylines in this slot and the screen is filled with tasty fruits, alongside other traditional fruit machine symbols such as gold bells, yellow stars and red sevens. The paytable is set out above the reels so you can see exactly what you will win whatever symbols land on the reels. Options on this slot include an autoplay button, which lets you select a number of spins up to 100 to play automatically. You can also choose to play in ‘turbo’ mode which speeds up the gameplay.
The paytable displays your potential wins, which will alter depending on your stake. To change your bet click on the arrows at the side of the ‘stake’ button to give a minimum bet of €0.50 and a max bet of €5.00. The paytable shows the highest-paying symbol to be the yellow star, which pays up to €250 for 3 matching stars while playing max bet.
The next symbol to watch for is the red seven, which pays up to €200 for 3 symbols at max bet, while the watermelon is also a high paying symbol, awarding €150 for 3 symbols at max bet. The lower paying symbols include the grapes which pay up to €100, the bells which pay up to €75, the plums which pay up to €50, the oranges which pay up to €25, the lemons which pay up to €15 and the cherries which pay up to €10 for 3 symbols while playing max bet.
The 4th Mystery Reel
There is a mystery reel to the right of the screen which spins along with the regular reels to add an extra dimension to your payouts. This special reel reveals one symbol on each spin which determines what happens should your other reels combine to create a win. The different rewards offered by this reel include turning all the yellow stars wild, doubling your payout, and creating an additional 27 paylines.
Max Power
One of the most special features of this game is the Max Power feature, which can be activated by spinning 3 Max Power logos on the reels. This means the Max Power bonus bar starts moving at the top of the screen to reveal a list of multipliers – you need to press ‘stop’ to stop the bonus bar and collect your reward, which could by up to a 50x multiplier!
This feature has the potential to boost your balance if you click at a lucky moment, but it could prove frustrating because the click is so unresponsive that it really seems to have no impact at all on the final bonus boost selected.
The main point of this Max Power bonus bar is the small Max Power logo lurking among the multipliers. This is how you trigger the progressive jackpot! If you are lucky enough to stop the bonus bar on this logo, you will win the big jackpot – check out the top right corner of the screen to see the potential cash rewards.
Turbo Gamble
One of the most commonly activated features of this colourful slot game is the Turbo Gamble, which appears whenever you hit a payout. You hear a whooshing sound and then urgent music starts playing as you decide whether to hit the flashing ‘turbo gamble’ button to begin the gamble game, or the ‘collect’ button to bank your winnings.
The Turbo Gamble is a multiplier ladder sitting at the side of the screen, giving you the chance to gamble your latest winnings. You can try to climb the ladder by gambling up to 20 times, which could end up boosting your payout by up to 10x if you reach the top of the laffer - but if you click unluckily you risk losing all your hard-earned winnings from that spin.
A Fruit Machine with Maximum Power
This slot machine is so much more exciting than it first appears. Although many players enjoy the classic fruit machine style of game, others find this approach a little on the boring side.
However, JMP Interactive has managed to add so many extra features into this game to make it fun and highly involving. The addition of the 4th reel turns this into a much more enjoyable game, as you can trigger not only wild wins and multipliers, but also 27 paylines for many more winning chances. The Turbo Gamble after every spin adds even more interest and the bonus bar activated by the Max Power logo means you always have that progressive jackpot opportunity hovering in the background to ramp up the excitement.
