Slot Review: Fixer Upper

The “fixer upper” home purchase is a quintessential rite of passage for many young adults venturing out into the grown-up world for the first time. Whether you are extremely handy with a toolkit or are working through this whole thing with nothing more than the DIY knowledge you gleaned from watching the Home and Garden Network and talking to the guy at Home Depot, taking your own house and fixing it up the way you would like is an incredible experience. You could win a tidy little sum towards your own fixer upper project playing the eponymous online slot game, which uses the clever home improvement theme to breathe life into a slick and awesome slot.

Fixer Upper is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine game from the Rival internet casino software firm. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to twenty-five cents. That means that you can play this as a penny slot if you so wish, but in doing so you will rob yourself of a chance to play this game to its full potential! Max coins is set at a value of two hundred, or ten per payline. That makes the highest per-spin wager one of fifty dollars. The jackpot is set at a very lucky eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight coins, or two thousand two hundred twenty-two on a maxed out wager. There is a free practice mode for those who like to try before they buy.

The graphics of Fixer Upper are very strong, and really make this slot game one that is visually compelling and fun to play. You’ll see the copper plumbing and cement wall of a house, with the many tools one would need to undertake some serious home repair projects. The quality of the pictures is strong and sharp. The construction-hatted main character of this slot reminded us very much if Bob the Builder, the main character of a much0beloved children’s television show. Likewise, the blond swoman in this game looks very much like Bob’s right hand lady, Wendy. Fixer Upper is an iSlot with great bonus games and a slew of exciting features!
