Understanding The Microgaming Respin Feature In Online Slots

Added: September 10, 2014

Many players are satisfied at selecting the betting parameters in online slots and letting the game do the rest. But there are players who want to be more in control of the game. These players like games such as blackjack and video poker, where they take more material decisions. In order to make slots play at online casinos more interactive, the software provider Microgaming introduced the Respin feature in some of its slots games.

The Microgaming Respin feature permits you to spin only one reel keeping the others fixed. You have to pay a price for this, but sometimes it may be worth the additional cost. Consider this situation. At the end of a spin you have like symbols on an active payline in four of the five reels. You would be willing to pay a price to spin the fifth reel only and try for a jackpot payout. The Microgaming Respin feature states the price. You have to decide if the additional amount is worth the risk.

In the Microgaming online slots with the Respin feature, a Respin button is displayed below each reel. After the end of the spin each Respin button displays a value. This indicates the price to be paid if you want to spin only that reel, keeping the other four fixed. You will notice that the cost of the respin is not the same for all reels. If one reel is likely to return a larger payout then the cost of spinning that reel again will be greater. If you decide that you want to respin a reel you have to click the Respin button below that reel. Only the cost of the respin will automatically be debited from your account. If the respin results in new wins, then the payouts for those wins will be credited to your account. The Respin buttons will then display fresh values based on the new configuration of symbols on the reels. You can carry out the respin any number of times but will have to pay extra for each.

You are not obliged to activate the Respin feature. If you feel that the asking prices are too high, you can click the Spin button and spin all the reels together again in the usual manner. The Respin feature is available in slots games like Reel Gems and Retro Reels. These are live at Microgaming online casinos like 32Red and Platinum Play.
