Slot Review: The High Life

Of the slot machine themes that we see frequently in our playing time at SlotsData.com, the theme of “the high life” is one of the more common. Because every online slot player’s dream is to become insanely wealthy and to fund an opulent lifestyle, games centering around life in the lap of luxury tend to be pretty popular indeed. Of all the offerings in the “fame and riches” oeuvre that we have experienced, The High Life doesn’t exactly stand out as one of the luminaries. Unexceptional graphics are a decidedly “low life” jackpot are issues that we personally saw with this game.

The High Life is a five-reel, five-payline online slot machine game by Microgaming. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to two dollars, with max coins set at one hundred. A top per-spin wager of two hundred dollars is nothing short of ludicrous, given that the jackpot is a mere fifteen hundred coins (three thousand dollars). We would not bet on a game that requires a full fifteenth of the jackpot to play! It’s as if Microgaming wants to require “high life” bets to attract whales, but doesn’t want to pay out accordingly.

Letters and numbers make up the majority of the symbols on the reels. You will also see items suggesting an opulent lifestyle – a yacht cruising the ocean, a sports car at sunset, and a box of Cuban cigars. The graphics are nothing special, however. The mansion is the wild symbol, and the aforementioned sports car is the scatter symbol, which can lead to some free spins.
