Should You Play Slot for Real Money in New Zealand?

Of course, it is not a spectacular game, which has no stunning visuals neither remarkable animation effects. However it should suit the taste of those who like simple slots with traditional special symbols and basic rules of making the combinations. The outstanding feature of this novelty is free spins with «sticky» Wilds, but this feature is not something new either.
Other thing to mention is low dispersion and low theoretical payback of this slot.
