Playboy
As an American man in my late 20’s, I can assure you that I viewed my fair share of Playboy magazines while growing up. I can assure you that I was not into the articles, which is what we would say if other kids would ask us what we were doing with the items, which were considered more valuable than gold.
Microgaming has put together this pokie in conjunction with the legendary adult brand, and while we can ensure you that there aren’t any naked women here, we can say that there are a fair amount of features that keep the game entertaining. Surely, you won’t be playing this just to get an ogle in at the models.
Graphics and Animations
Overall, Playboy actually looks quite nice, even though I am a bit disappointed that the models are all drawn and rendered, rather than actually having real women present. I do like the overall look of luxury and beauty present here, and find that the theme fits right in with what I expect the Playboy brand to be.

Animations are pretty decent as well, with the game rendering winning symbols with a bit of movement. There is a bit of a letdown with the face card symbols, which simply blink when they are triggered, but the Playboy Wild expands and looks brilliant when it is set off.
Gameplay
In terms of actually playing the game, I had about a half hour worth of time with Playboy, and found the game to be a fun, but not great online pokie.
I ended up hitting a lot of winning combinations with Playboy’s 243 Ways-to-Win paylines, but many of these wins were partials, which meant that I only got like $0.10 back on a $1.00 bet.
In order to boost your winnings you are going to want to try to hit the bonus rounds, which do a great job of boosting your overall money. Playboy features pokie Bonus Rounds such as Random Wilds, Expanding Wilds, and Free Spins.
The Wilds are your biggest friend here, as they pop up the most often. The Free Spins do come around quite a bit, although not as frequently as the Wilds. I had some real success with the Free Spins, as I gathered wins in excess of $100 almost every time I triggered them.
I was very happy with my results after I finished playing Playboy, as I had more than $300 in winnings. This is enough to ensure me a very long subscription to Playboy.
Summary
Overall, I really enjoyed my time with Playboy, even if I don’t think it is the best pokie ever made. I enjoyed the way the game played, but wish there were real models instead of drawings.
I will likely keep playing this game in the future, and think you should give it a look, if you are into the whole lifestyle that is.
