Super Graphics Upside-Down is a funky-looking video slot made by the UK-based Realistic Games and launched in 2011. The game is a blend of Asian-style graphics and traditional fruit machine imagery and it oozes bright colours, so you better put your shades on for this one. The backdrop is filled with purplelicious rays, stars and Asian letters, whereas the reels contain symbols such as lemons, grapes, watermelons, plums and playing card icons A, K, J and Q with manga-inspired images of male and female characters, as well as a moving cat toy, Maneki-Neko, representing the Ace. The lucky seven pays more than all of them and there are also Scatters and Wilds.
There are 5 reels and 3 rows in Super Graphics Upside-Down, a pretty straightforward, standard layout you might say, but as you will see after a number of spins not everything needs to be as it seems. The configuration is set inside a virtual arcade machine and the action begins the moment you click the Start button. Before you do that, make sure you’ve set the stakes to your liking. There are 20 lines across which to form winning combination, and here they are not fixed, but adjustable. All win line payouts are required to form from the far left reel and contain at least three matching symbols.
Scatter symbols award payouts of their own each time they appear on the screen, but when three or more appear at the same time they also award 15 free spins. During the free spins mode, the reels are turned upside down (hence the slot name), which results in more opportunities to score additional earnings. The top prize is hidden in the bonus spins, and if you are lucky enough to hit the jackpot the bonus round will end, leaving you with a balance boost of 5,000x the stake per line value.
The Super Graphics is now a series of slots, with Super Graphics Super Lucky and Super Graphics Lucky Cats joining the party. As mentioned, the biggest possible win in this slot game is capped at 5,000x the stake per line value, which can be a small fortune. In the long run, the slot pays 95.25% in return but promises lots and lots of fun. The volatility is low; the wins happen quite often, albeit small, and the bonus feature is triggered regularly. For some, the design may be a bit manic and overwhelming, but we have no doubt that there are players out there who are precisely looking for this style of slot.
You’re not required to go to Japan to experience slot entertainment “a la Asian”, and you don’t have to sit at home either – you can play the game at a reputable Realistic-powered mobile casino since Super Graphics Upside-Down has been upgraded into HTML5 with a full-screen presentation, immersive graphics and superior sound effects.
