If you ever wondered how a Japanese teenage romance looks like, try out Our Days, a five-reel video slot that offers 243 ways to win, themed after a popular Japanese teen series. The Microgaming title tells the story of nostalgia of the first love, while offering two rewarding features. Land a win and you will get a free respin, with reels containing the winning symbols locked in place. Trigger the Free Spins feature, which offers nothing but high-paying symbols. Playable from $0.30 per spin, the 2019 release offers the maximum possible payout of 90,000 coins.
The reels are set in a classroom and there will be plenty of pupils appearing on the screen. The 2019 release features five reels, three rows and benefits from 243 ways to win, meaning that you only need to land matching symbols on successive reels, beginning from the leftmost reel, in order to win payouts. Remember that three of a kind is the minimum for landing wins. Betting is fixed at 30 coins per spin, but the betting range is extremely wide and will satisfy the needs of both penny punters and high rollers. Wager as little as $0.30 and as high as $1,800 per single spin. In Autoplay, gamers can set up to 100 automatic spins to do all the hard work, and can also set the win and the loss limit.
There are four Girls and one Boy appearing as high-paying symbols, and we reckon that the four Girls are battling against each other for the heart of the Boy. Other icons that occupy the reels are Lunch Box, Diary, Jar of Stars, a Scarf and a Love Letter. Look for the Music Box, because that is Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature. The Our Days logo is Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols.
Every time you land a winning combination, you will be rewarded with a free respin. The reels containing the winning symbols will be held in place, while other reels respin. The feature will be over once there are no more winning symbols appearing on the reels. The Free Spins feature will be triggered when you land three or more Scatters on the reels. Depending on the number of Scatters landed, players will get 8, 10, or 12 freebies. The best part of the story is that all low-paying icons will be removed from the reels during free spins. Also, the respin feature can be triggered during the Free Spins feature.
We can only suppose that the Our Days TV show is extremely popular in Japan, because we cannot think of any other reason why a group of teenagers can end up in a video slot. The visuals are done in Japanese manga style, and the pastel colours really portray the innocence of that particular time in people’s lives. The special features on the offer are quite rewarding, especially the Free Spins feature, when all low-paying symbols are removed. We love the fact that every single win triggers a free respin and gives punters the opportunity to boost their current wins.
