[P R O D U C T REVIEW ] WHAT THE PLAYERS SAY 1 From a player perspective, what are your initial thoughts? Player 5 For me the best thing was the wild cards. They pay out big time. Player 1 I didn’t really understand why I won or lost on some spins. The game could have told me a little bit more about how it works. Player 2 The game really reminds me of Million Pound Drop on television. It was just like it. Very impressive. Player 3 I think the game looked great first and foremost. But game play was instantly recognisable and straightforward. Player 4 To me it seemed a bit samey, and like lots of other games I’ve played. So overall, nothing special. Player 5 Loved it. Easy to play and lots of fun. What could be improved? Player 1 The game could tell the player more about how the lines work and how the wins work. Player 2 I wouldn’t change anything to be honest. I was impressed with it all. Player 3 Nothing. A great, easy to play game, which kept me interested for a long period. Player 4 There was not enough skill in it for me. And the bonus games don’t come up often enough to get me excited. Player 5 I can’t fault it. Lots of challenges, plenty to opportunities to win and interesting bonus rounds. Waiting for your money to drop does make for great entertainment and the short pause before the actual drop adds an element of suspense Drop experience. If you watch the show and can’t wait for the next series, then this will keep you busy and entertained, win or lose. The slots do their job and the reviewers were happy with it. Experienced slot players found Million Pound Drop slots provided a playable and enjoyable experience with longevity coming from interesting bonus rounds. Well done Endemol. Nail biting The game replicates the suspense of the TV show What is missing? Player 1 Having Davina McCall presenting it would have been great, but I guess she’s too expensive these days. Player 2 Unfortunately the Security Pass game doesn’t work very well on my mobile. Player 3 Again, nothing. I thought it was the complete game. Player 4 More skill-based game play and the inclusion of more bonus games would make it more interesting and keep me playing for longer. Player 5 Not much. The bonus rounds are especially good. What works well? Player 1 Even though I wasn’t sure why I was winning, it soon made sense and I found it lots of fun. Player 2 The drop game is brilliant and dead easy. There’s no questions to get in the way. Player 3 The game has the same music as the television show but unfortunately no Davina McCall presenting it. Player4 Everything worked OK for me. No problems. The Million Pound Drop pays well but you don’t get it that often.
