High Society (Microgaming) – Review & Demo Play

High Society - Game Overview

High Society comes from Electric Elephant and runs on Microgaming’s Quickfire platform. It plays on 5 reels, 5 rows and 25 ways to win, wrapped in a luxury theme. The whole thing leans on the free spins choice, as there is nothing else going on beyond that feature. The volatility sits around medium to high, with a max payout of 2,000 times your stake. I sit down with this one purely for that choice, as the base game feels pretty dry.

If you want more frequent lower wins, go for the wild reel option. To reach the max, you need the progressive multiplier, which can rise to 10x. Elsewhere the RTP is quoted at 96.80% and the bet range runs from £0.50 to £10, with a 2014 release and basic graphics flagged. The presentation has never wowed me, while the mechanic does the heavy lifting. That balance leaves it sitting in the middle of the pack in my rotation.

What symbols are in High Society?

The paytable in High Society leans on a fashionable lady as the premium, paying 13.3x for five of a kind. Next up is the elderly lord like gent at 5x, with the butler paying 2.5x for five. Top hat and cocktail each pay 2x for five, while card suit symbols fill the low end between 1x and 0.5x. Wilds and scatters do the feature work, but line wins come from those listed icons across the 25 ways to win.

What are the bonus features in High Society?

High Society does not pack side games outside the various free spins picks. Triggering needs at least three €100 scatter symbols, after which you choose between Super Wild Reels or a Super Multiplier. The number of scatters on the trigger spin shapes your allocation. It sets how many free spins you get and, if you pick the multiplier path, how wide the range can be during the round. That choice is the heart of the gameplay loop.

Pick Super Wild Reels and you receive 10, 15 or 20 free spins for 3, 4 or 5 scatters. At times one of reels 3, 4 or 5 becomes a fully stacked wild reel, dropping in at random. Land the scatter on both reels 1 and 5 on the same spin and both turn wild, and you also gain 10 more free spins. This is the safer route in my view when I want consistent board coverage.

Free spins in High Society

Pick the Super Multiplier in High Society and you start with 10 free spins. A progressive multiplier comes into play, ranging from 2x up to 10x. New scatter symbols increase the range. With 3 new scatters it moves between 2x and 6x. Land 4 scatters and it shifts to 3x through 10x. Hit 5 scatters and the active range tightens between 5x and 10x. This is where the top screen can drop.

The multiplier also climbs when a scatter lands on reel 1 or reel 5. If you triggered the feature with 4 scatters, the multiplier increases by 3x each time that happens. Land the scatter on both reels 1 and 5 on a single spin and you collect 10 extra free spins for your trouble. This side of the bonus is all about ladders and timing, and it is the way I chase the 2,000x cap.

The other write up notes up to 20 free spins with up to a 5x multiplier attached. That sits closer to the steady play style and supports longer spells without big swings. Both reads align with the idea that High Society lives or dies with its free spins, and you pick your lane before the round starts. My pick remains the progressive option, as that is how I have hit my better returns.

What is the jackpot (max win) in High Society?

High Society carries no fixed or progressive jackpot. The top exposure is 2,000 times your bet, which equates to as much as £100,000 on a single spin when the 10x multiplier is active. That potential sits fairly with the medium to high volatility profile. On the numbers side the RTP has been listed at 96.80 percent. Your outcome hinges on the bonus pick, and whether you favour steadier stacked wild reels or the higher ceiling of the multiplier.

Where can I play High Society?

I have run High Society on phones and tablets without hiccups. The Quickfire build played smoothly across devices for me, from short coffee breaks to longer spins on the sofa. You do not need to wrestle with menus either, as the main choice arrives once the scatters land. It fits well as a portable time filler, since the base game is light and the free spins carry the load when they turn up.

High Society verdict

High Society gives you a straight decision between stacked wild reels and a progressive multiplier. In my sessions the multiplier is the call when I want a swing at the 2,000x cap, while the wild reels bring steadier hits and keep the balance ticking. The visuals do not impress, and the rest of the feature list is bare, but the free spins choice does enough to keep me engaged when I am in the mood.

As a long time player, I treat it as a specialist pick. If I fancy control over variance, I pick wild reels and grind. If I fancy a shot at the ceiling, I take the multiplier and accept the ride. There is nothing here beyond that free spins fork, and the package will not suit everyone, yet it fills a spot in my line up when I want a simple, binary bonus game.
