Take 5

Gamomat's addition to the world of fruity slots continued with the release of Take 5 in December of 2019. This classic online slot game is made up of five reels, five paylines and boasts an RTP of 94%. Take 5 isn't a reinvention of the wheel, but it manages to put together quite the fruit craving with its mash-up of vibrant and retro-themed graphics.

ABOUT THE TAKE 5 SLOT

Although this Gamomat fruit blend isn't the freshest gaming experience you'll come across, it can still entertain. Enthusiasts of classic casino games will really enjoy this, as long as they make peace with the fact that there aren't any Free Spins rounds to be triggered. The gameplay is smooth, the graphics are sharp, what more could you want? Perhaps a fresh glass of your favourite fruit smoothie to get the juices flowing?

GAMEPLAY

Gamomat — formerly Bally Wulff — is an expert when it comes to designing fruit-themed slots. If you're looking for a simple game to start off your online casino gaming experience, Take 5 fits the bill.

WAGER

The minimum and maximum betting amounts are €0.05 and €100 (or currency equivalent), respectively. Should any identical symbols line up on a winning payline from left to right, you will win an amount proportional to your wager, as per the paytable.

SYMBOLS

Each symbol in the Take 5 slot is as classic as it can get. The low-value symbols comprise diamonds, cherries, lemons, oranges and plums. The symbols you should be aiming to line up are bells, stars and sevens. You can view the symbol values in the game’s paytable.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Seeing as this slot is as classic as it can get, we can't say that it's really brimming with a variety of innovative bonus features. Having said that, Take 5 does have two simple features that can multiply your wins should you get lucky.

Let's start with the Gamble feature. After each win, players have two options to multiply their earnings, either through a simple card game or a prize ladder game. For the former, players will have to guess the colour of the card. If they guess correctly, their wins will be doubled; if they don't, the gambled win will be lost. The prize ladder game is just as straightforward. Once players hit the ‘Gamble’ button, they'll look to climb up the ladder to reach the better prizes. Should they fail to move up and instead drop a rung of the ladder, their gambled win will be lost.

Now, let's have a look at the Win Repeater. In Take 5, it is possible to trigger all five paylines at the same time. Should players manage to rack up identical symbols on each reel, a special wheel will be triggered. This wheel has five segments, four of which are occupied by a ‘Win’ and the remaining one is occupied by an ‘End’. If players spin the wheel and land a Win, the previous nine-symbol spin will repeat, netting more winnings. The Win segment that they had landed will then turn into an End, meaning that spinning the wheel again will offer fewer chances to win again. It's important to keep in mind that, in either feature, players can opt against using a bonus feature and claim their wins without gambling them once again.

TAKE 5 FREE SPINS FEATURE

Admit it, you've been combing through this review just to check if the Take 5 slot has a Free Spins feature or not. Unfortunately, the game is fresh out of free spins, but this doesn't mean that you can't get your hands on some. Have a look at EnergyCasino's ‘Promotions’ page to see what variety of casino bonuses await you. It's always crucial to read the Terms and Conditions of the casino bonus you choose to opt for, since information about wagering requirements and expiration dates will be detailed there.

TAKE 5 FREE PLAY

Whether you're a new player or a veteran, giving Take 5 a spin without dipping into your bankroll is always a good idea. This is possible thanks to the free demo mode, where you'll be granted a virtual balance to use on this slot game only. In fact, demos are a great way to try out some casino games for free. Slots can be played for free at EnergyCasino by searching for the game you want to try and clicking or tapping on ‘DEMO’.

Why exactly should you play free versions of slots? Well, that is the best way to learn the game mechanics and really understand how everything works without placing a deposit. Be aware that you might need to register and complete a verification process prior to playing the free version of slots, but this all depends on your jurisdiction.

OUR VERDICT

Players who enjoy a hint of classic flair in their gaming will undoubtedly enjoy Take 5. Although it doesn't bring anything new to the table, except for a fresh bowl of fruit, this game has two simple features that can really bolster your wins if you're lucky. Feel free to put your taste buds to the test and play Take 5 at EnergyCasino!
