ABOUT THIS SLOT
Pure Platinum is a 5-reel 3-row real money online slot from Microgaming with chunky platinum reels filled with platinum symbols. It’s certainly a feast of shiny metal and if you’re into bling or enjoy an industrial feel to your slots, you might enjoy the visuals. For those less interested in platinum, it’s not as exciting. In any case, this game was a popular addition to the Microgaming catalogue when it launched in 2013 and it still gets plenty of players spinning its gleaming reels today.
As for gameplay, there’s a strong Free Spins round waiting to land with plenty of Multipliers boosting your rewards by up to 5x. You’ll also find Wilds and Scatters in the mix. Stacked Wilds add further to the payout potential and the flexible 40 paylines mean you can choose how far to delve into the action, depending on your bankroll.
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS
Pure Platinum has a decent RTP of 96.49% and the low variance of the game combined with the 1p minimum bet makes it an ideal choice for lower rollers. This slot should give frequent small payouts during a gaming session, allowing for extended play with minimal risk.
All in all, this low volatility slot is a great option if you’re looking for regular small wins to keep the bankroll ticking along. If you’re after the big cash, the 400,000 coins jackpot could be yours if you play at the maximum betting level and hit the generous payouts with the maximum Multiplier.
SYMBOLS AND PAYTABLE
The symbols in Pure Platinum include high cards from 9 to Ace, each coated in platinum of course, along with a platinum ring with a central diamond, platinum bars, platinum watch, platinum casino chips, platinum disc and platinum game logo.
The polished bars, chips and ring can pay up to 750x your bet for 5 matches, while the watch pays 500x your bet for 5 of a kind. Even the high cards are generous with the Ace awarding up to 200x your bet and even the 9 awarding 50x your bet for 5 of a kind.
The Wild is the Pure Platinum logo and this awards 1000x your bet for 5 matches. The Scatter symbol is the platinum disc, which can pay 100x your bet for 5 of a kind anywhere on the reels.
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
Wild Symbol
The game logo is the Wild symbol and this can stand in for all the others except the Scatter to create more potential wins. It can also appear stacked on the reels for extra payouts with 1000x stake available for 5 on a payline.
Scatter Symbol
The platinum disc is the Scatter and this can pay anywhere it appears on the screen with up to 100x stake available for 5 of a kind. Landing 3, 4 or 5 of these symbols will activate the Free Spins round.
Free Spins with Multipliers
Whenever you hit 3 or more Scatters, the Free Spins round is triggered. Before you begin, you’ll need to choose your preferred combination of Free Spins and Multipliers. You can pick from 10 Free Spins with a 5x Multiplier, 20 Free Spins with a 2x Multiplier or 50 Free Spins with a 1x Multiplier.
OUR VERDICT
Pure Platinum is a solid offering from Microgaming and remains a popular choice at online casinos. The base game pays well with even the low-pay symbols offering decent rewards, while the jackpot prize is tempting. Appearance-wise, it’s a bit marmite. Some players love the shiny silver graphics but equal numbers dislike the metallic, industrial appearance. It’s certainly relentless with the platinum and the game title says it all. In any event, the Scatters and Stacked Wilds do their job and the Free Spins round with Multipliers is the best part, although with this low volatility level, your chance of hitting big cash here is slim. It’s competently designed but Pure Platinum doesn’t have the excitement level or depth of features for a long gaming session.
