Multiplay 81 review

Theme and Style

A vibrant fruit-themed slot experience awaits in the form of Multiplay 81.

Designed by E-gaming, this slot contains an assortment of fruit, including cherries and watermelons, but there is nothing overly elaborate about it.

Players accustomed to classic fruit-themed slots may well want to put Multiplay 81 through its paces.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Multiplay 81 possesses a simple soundtrack that is essentially light background music and nondescript.

Ambient sound effects are played when a win is formed, but players won’t find these obnoxious.

Meanwhile, the array of shimmering fruit pops out on the black reels in Multiplay 81.

The background is plain with a red-colored abstract, but the Multiplay 81 icon perched above the reels attempts to give this game some gloss.

Overall, the basic soundtrack and cartoonish graphics accentuate the casual nature of this slot.

Gameplay

Multiplay 81 is a 4-reel, 3-row slot complete with up to 81 paylines.

Wins can be assembled for landing at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.

Of the 8 symbols, 5 are low paying while the other 3 count as high paying. Sevens are the most sought-after symbol on the board, offering as much as 160x your bet for a 4-of-a-kind combo.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Multi Spin Symbol serves as the Wild in Multiplay 81, substituting for all other regular-paying symbols except for the Scatters.

Essentially, each active Wild provides a 2x multiplier, and these can continue to grow in the game, significantly bolstering your winnings.

Collecting 2 Wilds, meanwhile, provides a 4x multiplier, while landing 3 Wilds awards an 8x win multiplier. However, there are no Free Spins available in Multiplay 81.

Unfortunately, there is no stated maximum win amount connected to Multiplay 81.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

Multiplay 81 carries a disappointingly low return to player (RTP) of 95%, falling short of the industry-expected average of 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum of $/£/€0.10 per spin up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin.

This game falls into the medium-volatility category, meaning it doesn’t meet our preferred slot machine strategies. We tend to gravitate towards slots that are highly volatile.

Conclusion

We think this classic fruit-themed slot offers something for everyone.

Multiplay 81 has an RTP that varies from 94% to 97%, but the gameplay mechanics should be celebrated.

We do like the inclusion of Multiplier Wilds, and the increased number of paylines should keep players entertained.
