Shaker Club Slot (Yggdrasil Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Three measures of Gordon’s Gin, one of vodka, and half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Any guesses as to what that is? Avid 007 fans will instantly know that it’s the Vesper Martini, the tipple of choice for James Bond and surely one of the world’s most famous cocktails. That intro leads us nicely onto Yggdrasil Gaming then, or are aiming to cause a shaken, not stirred effect on the online slot market with their title Shaker Club. This 5-reel slot comes with 243 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96%, and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

A quick rundown on the feature set reveals a random multiplier that can trigger on any spin in the base game. This can provide players with multipliers of up to 250x being applied to any winning combos that land. Then we have the free spins bonus round, activated by hitting three or more scatter symbols, with an option then available to gamble your current starting multiplier for a higher one of up to 25x. Once the free spins begin, each new spin will see the win multiplier climb one position up the meter, and again the max limit this can reach is 250x. Finally, where applicable, there’s a bonus buy option for those who want to jump straight into the feature without triggering it organically.

Shaker Club Slot Paytable
Shaker Club slot paytable

I’m not sure what it’s like where you live, but for a while, in my local area, every pub seemed to decide they were going to open an additional “cocktail bar” out the back and try to serve the locals extravagant drinks at extortionate prices. Needless to say, when the alternative was four pints for a tenner, the regulars were not tempted to swap their Carling for a fancy-looking drink and a cocktail umbrella. I guess you could say the theme hasn’t really been a massive hit for online slots either, and whilst I’m sure there are plenty of other titles out there, I can only really think of PG Soft’s slot Cocktail Nights off the top of my head. Perhaps Shaker Club is set to change all of that then, and put the Moscow Mule firmly back on the map. I think we’d better head to the pays section and investigate further.

Let’s begin at the summit of the paytable, where we find the Margherita as the highest paying symbol worth 10x bet for a five of a kind win. Next, we have the Tequila Sunrise valued at 5x for a completed line of five, followed by the Mojito at 4x, and the last of the premium symbols, the Blue Lagoon, which pays 3x bet for a winning combo of five. As for the low pays, these are represented by the card suits Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades, with them all sharing an equal payout of 1x the bet for a five of a kind hit. The game also features a wild symbol, the bartender, which will substitute for all other regular symbols.

The betting range offers minimum/maximum wagers of €0.10 and €10, respectively. The options between these amounts are fairly well spaced out, and in my opinion, players should easily be able to find a stake they are comfortable playing at, which is also relative to their overall bankroll.


Base Game & Modifiers

Shaker Club Slot Base Game

The playfield in Shaker Club consists of five reels, each three rows in height, with each spin delivering a guaranteed 243 ways to win. Banking some cash will require you to land at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first.


Random Multiplier

On any spin in the base game, the cocktail shaker to the left of the reels can become active and generate a win multiplier up to the value of 250x. Whatever number is displayed on the shaker will be applied to any wins you land on that spin.


Shaker Club Slot Bonus Features

Shaker Club Slot Free Spins Feature
Shaker Club slot free spins feature

There are bonus scatter symbols on every reel, and landing either 3, 4, or 5 will award 8 free spins and a starting multiplier of x3, x10, and x25, respectively.

Before the feature begins, you can choose to gamble your current multiplier up to a maximum of 25x. However, if you lose the gamble, the feature will end, and you will return to the base game.


Free Spins

The free spins will begin at your starting multiplier, and then on every spin that follows, the value will increase by one position on the meter located to the left of the reels (up to a maximum of 250x). Additionally, scatter symbols can land on reels 2 and 4. Each time that one hits, it will move you one position up the meter.


Bonus Buy

The following two bonus buy options are available for players who can access the facility in their jurisdiction.

  • 8 Free Spins With A Random Starting Multiplier: Costs 200x bet.
  • 8 Free Spins With The Maximum Multiplier: Costs 1,200x bet.

Pros

  • The base game multiplier could potentially be worth 250x.

Cons

  • Varied RTP levels as low as 86%.
  • Once you reach even a half-decent multiplier, you tend to be greeted with dead spin after dead spin.
  • Not a particularly great design and the background graphics are poor at best.

Final Thoughts

Whilst the initial hope was that the game could bring feelings of being on an exotic holiday in a flashy bar sipping on flamboyant cocktails, I was left feeling more like I was down the Naggs Head with Delboy sat with Trigger supping on a Pina Colada with cherryade and ice.
