Long Long Long (Nextspin) Review

The backstory Nextspin has come up with for the Long Long Long slot is a cute one. Sun Dragon and Leaf Dragon (referring to the yellow and green Chinese dragon symbols in the game) set out to ascend a tower they had discovered not too far from their home. They then discover a castle in the sky above the clouds, and at the castle entrance, they see Love Dragon dancing like there’s no tomorrow. Love Dragon invites them to join the dance, and they become BFFs, meeting regularly to dance the night away in their secret castle.

That being said, Long Long Long is a simple slot game, as simple as they come. The classic 3-reeler features a single payline, and you win by landing 3 dragon symbols of any kind on this payline. This pays 8x your stake, while 3 green, red, or yellow dragon symbols award 28x, 58x, or 88x your stake, respectively. The paytable is hard to miss, as it’s displayed directly above the reels. Other than that, there aren’t any bonus features in the Long Long Long slot.

However, you can play with bet levels ranging from €0.1 to €4,000 per spin, which means this game is suitable for both penny punters and daredevil high rollers. The lightning icon above the spin button opens a turbo spin and autoplay menu, allowing you to speed up the game significantly. Not only that, but the autoplay function allows you to set the game on indefinite autospins, so you can kick back and enjoy the ride.

You should also know that Long Long Long is a medium volatile game, but the hit rate is not disclosed. The RTP of this game clocks in at a respectable 96.87%, well above the industry average. Customizable RTP ranges may be a possibility, but nothing is disclosed regarding this. Other than that, the Long Long Long max win is 88x your stake, which is well below the industry average, even for a classic Asian-themed slot game like this.

Long Long Long Features

There’s no doubt that this classic slot game is light on features, and you should definitely give the Long Long Long free play demo version a spin to see if you enjoy this type of game before playing for real. Anyway, below, we present an overview of what features you can enjoy when playing this game.

Turbo Spin & Autoplay

Hitting that spin button manually can get tiresome in a simple game like this, and the same can be said about waiting for the reels to stop. Luckily, you can switch on turbo mode to make the spins almost instant, and combined with the Autospin feature, you can power through around 50 spins per minute. The only thing slowing you down is the summing up of your winnings, so these features come in handy if you’re short on time.

Paytable On Display

Unlike most modern video slots, the paytable of Long Long Long is on display above the reels. This provides a convenient overview of how much you stand to win, and the winning combo is highlighted above the reels so you’ll immediately recognize what payout you hit.

Theme & Graphics

Long Long Long is an Asian-themed old-school classic slot machine, featuring a blue backdrop with swirling stylized clouds. The minimalist 3x1 grid is framed by an ornate golden pavilion topped with a red-tiled roof, and the game logo and paytable are prominently displayed above the reels. The symbols are festive Chinese-style dragon faces dominated by yellow, red, or green color schemes, and the soundtrack is a simple yet catchy classic Oriental tune.

Pros and Cons of Long Long Long

Our Verdict

Sometimes less is more, and you need to embrace that concept fully if you plan to enjoy a slot game like Long Long Long. Like everything else, slots are becoming increasingly complex as time marches on. Many players, therefore, enjoy a welcome break from all the intricate features and supercharged win ways, myself included. Although I prefer more complex video slots most of the time, it’s still refreshing to unwind with a simple game once in a while.

Long Long Long has everything fans of classic 3-reelers need, which isn’t much to be fair. However, the Oriental aesthetic may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The festive Chinese dragon symbols at least keep things consistent, and there is never any doubt which payout you win in this game. The relevant line lights up like a Christmas tree above the reels, but the hit rate wasn’t all that impressive for a medium volatile game like this.

In my experience, wins tend to come in bursts like a ketchup effect. After longer dry spells, I suddenly ran into a patch of decent wins, and this process repeated with smaller wins sprinkled in here and there for good measure. However, the main problem with Long Long Long, if you look past the lack of features, is the measly 88x max win. That is simply unacceptable in this day and age, regardless of how classic and retro the game may be.

Of course, Long Long Long is a niche prospect. It’s for players who find modern features distracting and want a return to the ‘one spin, one result’ kind of deal. However, keeping afloat must be a lot easier than in this game to satisfy players who just want to relax and don’t care too much about winning. In other words, Long Long Long would’ve been better off as a low volatility slot with a higher hit rate. As it stands, even the decent 96.87% RTP is not enough to justify the grind.
