Pure Platinum Online Pokies Review

Pure Platinum is another lifestyle slots title by Microgaming, one that aims to capture some of the glitz and glamour associated with the riches we're all chasing when we hit the online pokies!

Australia players in the know will already be aware that platinum is a metal even more precious than gold, so my aim in this Pure Platinum online pokies review is to find out whether or not the game can live up to the lofty implications of its name.

A big draw here that many Aussie players will be interested in is the bonus round, but I'll try not to get ahead of myself just yet. Let's get started.

How To Play

With 5 reels and 3 rows, the game is very similar to the majority of big name Australia online pokies. Pure Platinum is, in that respect, just as suitable for beginners as it is for old pros.

Here's a breakdown of a few key stats and features:

• 40 paylines - This is a very respectable figure and, although you can find titles out there with more, you'll find lots of games with far fewer as well.
• Bonus features – Just the one bonus round here, but it's definitely a good one. We'll tell you more about this below.
• Lots of flexibility in terms of coin value and number of coins per line, so you can bet anything from a penny all the way up to close to the 100 AUD mark.

There's also a clear, easy to use autoplay feature, which you won't always find in the other titles covered by our pokies reviews. Pure Platinum is, thus, a good one to set running while you focus on something else. You can also gamble your winnings on the flip of a card, trying to guess its suit or colour to double or quadruple your win.

Graphics/Sounds

With symbols including diamond rings, Rolex watches and platinum bars, the emphasis here is on luxury and bling. The whole thing comes across like a classic game show, and it's so bright and shiny that you might need to pack your sunglasses.

Again, the music and sounds are classic game show – the main theme is cheesy as heck, but if you're not keen you can always stick it on mute. The whole thing risks coming across as a little garish but, actually, in the context of the game I think it works.

Bonus Features

Our Pure Platinum pokies rating gets a real boost from its bonus round, which is activated by 3 or more scatter symbols. Before it starts, you'll be prompted to choose from one of the following:

• 50 free spins, no multiplier
• 25 free spins with a 2x multiplier
• 10 free spins with a 5x multiplier

Obviously this choice allows for quite a lot of customisation depending on the type of player you are. If you love risky play, you'll probably take 10 spins with a big multiplier. If you're a bit more cautious, or are looking to replenish your bankroll, you might go for 50 free spins.

Personally, I'd tend to settle on 25 with a 2x multiplier. This gives you enough scope to gather up several wins, and the multiplier is generous enough that you'll probably be able to walk away from the game with more AUD in your pocket than you started with.

Pure Platinum Online Pokies Review

When I started my Pure Platinum pokies review I realised that I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I think that's because I know that this title is probably the closest I'm ever likely to get to being on a game show. There's no million dollar question or magic box in front of you while you play, but the vibe is there nonetheless.

Stacked wilds and a bonus round that can occur relatively often means that you always feel like you might just be a few spins away from a big win, and that really helps the title feel like a lot of fun. Plus, the graphics might give you a few hints as to what you want to spend your winnings on.

Aussie players could do a lot worse than spend some time playing this title, even though it's relatively simple and you can find similarly rewarding bonus rounds on more volatile titles. It gets my seal of approval, though I think to really take the game to the next level Microgaming should add a game show style progressive jackpot mini-game into the mix!
