Shopping Spree II

Shopping Spree II is an RTG progressive slot that follows on from the original Shopping Spree progressive. It's a while new game although it shares the same 5 reel, 9 line format with the original. The jackpot however is completely separate from the original game and start at a nice $100,000 coins - certainly enough to shop til you drop.

The game has a fixed max bet of 9 coins and a fixed coin size of 0.25. This means that you have to play 2.25. You cannot play any less or any more per spin which is a feature we like as you cannot accidentally bet less than max and miss out on the progressive.

To win the jackpot you need to line up five of the Diamond Ring symbols with the X20 wild multiplier on the middle reel. If you this combination with anything else but the 20X multiplier you win 5,000 coins or 5,000 coins multiplied by up to X10.

The wild Sale symbol only appear on the middle reel and are stacked. This means you can get a whole reel of wilds with each wild multiplying any win by either X2, X3, X5, X10 or X20. Not only is the X20 multiplier crucial to win the jackpot it also can seriously boost even the smallest wins on the pay table into big pays.

After the progressive jackpot pay the second highest win is 2,500 coins for five Ladies or 50,000 coins if a wild X20 is part of the win. Next highest pay is 1,000 coins for the five Dollar Signs (20,000 with a X20 wild) and from there the five of a kind wins range from between 500 and 125 coins (10,000 and 2,500 with a X20 wild.

It's quite rare to see a progressive slot that has big secondary pays and this means you can still get some great wins on Shopping Spree 2 even if you don't win the main progressive.

Shopping Spree II has a free games feature that makes getting the progressive a bit easier. To win the free spins you need to get three or more scattered Shopping Spree II logos anywhere on the screen. Once triggered you win 9 free spins.

During the 9 free spins extra money symbols are added to the reels. These symbols are the key to the bonus spins which are awarded at the end of the regular free spins. The money symbols show either 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500. Each one that appears adds to your bonus tally. Once the free spins are over you are then awarded bonus spins.

The amount of bonus spins you get depends on the amount of your Bonus Tally. You get three free games for every 1,000 points collected up to a maximum of 12 extra games. During the bonus spins the whole middle reel stays wild so your chances of winning are increased during the bonus spins.

A nice touch is the consolation prize awarded if you do not get to 1,000 in the origin free spins. Depending on how many points you collected under 1,000 you can win between 3 and 100 times your total bet as a consolation prize.

Overall, Shopping Spree II is a big improvement over the original game and offers a lot of ways to win in addition to the big progressive that starts at $100,000.
