Mr. Vegas 2: Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Mr. Vegas 2 Review

11 years have passed until developer Betsoft decided to give its iconic Mr. Vegas slot another life, however, it seems that the wait was actually worth it. Now, Mister Las Vegas returns bigger, better, and as fun as ever, once again inviting you to the most luxurious Sin City casino to have the entertainment of a lifetime.

A lot has changed since the first release, both design- and gameplay-wise. Starting off with the looks, Mr. Vegas has changed beyond recognition. Well, the drawing style remained the same, as did the characters, but graphics, animations, and sounds were given a significant upgrade, so Mr. Vegas 2 feels really charming and pleasing to the eyes.

Mr. Vegas 2 Slot - Reel Screen

The actions of the game take place across a 5x4 reel set with 60 fixed win lines, which is twice the number found in its older brother. As for math, the variance has been boosted to high, or rather very high as stated on the slot’s page, and the default RTP is now above the average level at 96.06%. Still, you can get a lower payback depending on where you play, as there are two more settings available, namely 94.03% and 92.10%, so be sure to read the rules carefully before depositing at a real casino. The return value also slightly affects some of the other stats, such as max win and win frequency. By default though, wins tend to occur with an 18.22% rate, while the maximum you can win from a single spin is 2,601.66x.

The paytable of the Mr. Vegas 2 slot is made up of 10 regular symbols. They start with A-Q cards at the lower end, followed by red lucky sevens, dice, poker chips, diamonds, and three character symbols. Mr. Vegas is obviously a top star here, having the highest value. Five-of-a-kind wins of the top-tier gentleman award 13.33x your bet, while the rest pays from 0.53x to 3.33x your bet. Finally, the symbol of roulette acts as Wild, substituting for any of the regular symbols in winning combos. Additionally, Wilds can create combinations of their own, and they pay equally to Mr. Vegas himself when 5 appear along one of the win lines.

Mr. Vegas 2 Slot Features

On any spin during both the base and the bonus games, Stacked Mystery Symbols can appear on any of the reels. After the reels stop, all visible Mystery Symbols reveal the same random regular symbol or Wild.

Look out for bonus symbols that appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the base game. When 3 land simultaneously on the reels, the Big Money Tower feature comes into play. A random version of the feature is awarded, either Bronze, Silver, or Gold, offering different possible prizes.

The point is utterly simple - the higher you climb the tower, the bigger the reward. All you need to do is flip a coin to determine whether you spin again or collect the current prize.

Central to the gameplay of the Mr. Vegas 2 slot is the Free Spins feature, or rather 3 different modes of free games. Landing 3 Scatter symbols on the three middle reels on the same spin awards access to the bonus, and players are given a choice between two different options that can award one of the following free spins features:

• Free Spins Mode 1 - awards 10 spins with Sticky Wilds, which are available on reels 2, 3, and 4. Once a Wild symbol lands, it locks in place for the remainder of the feature.
• Free Spins Mode 2 - awards 12 spins with Expanding Wilds. Wilds symbols are available on reels 2, 3, and 4 and expand to cover the reels entirely whenever they land. Additionally, each Wild awards a respin. During this mode, wins are evaluated in both directions, from left to right and from right to left.
• Free Spins Mode 3 - awards 15 spins with Random Wilds. On each spin during the feature, from 2 to 6 Wild symbols are added to random positions of the grid.

Each of the above-mentioned bonus features can be triggered immediately without playing through the base game via the Buy Feature. You can select the preferred mode and plunge straight into the action for the fixed cost of 78x, 123x, and 104x your current bet respectively.

Review Summary

All said and done, Besoft has put a lot of effort into the sequel of Mr. Vegas trying to bypass the original. To some extent, they’ve actually managed to. However, it’s the progressive jackpot that is one of the main reasons why players would feel drawn to spin the reels on Mr. Vegas, and the second part, unfortunately, cannot boast such a thing. Still, it’s a highly enjoyable game with a lot for players to offer aside from the jackpot, capable of providing an entertaining and rewarding experience.
