Mid-Life Crisis Slots

Mid-Life Crisis is a game that we feel that all of us can unfortunately relate to! At least if we are old enough to be gambling on the Internet, and not making our parents worry over where all that money just went. This game takes on a theme that will hit home for quite a few players, and maybe even spawn a number of them to have a midlife crisis now! All it really takes is someone mentioning it, or seeing the appeal of it, and then it starts. That's how it always is for us, and we're probably on our second or third now!

The theme side, the game itself is pretty well constructed. The budget is clearly not all that high - maybe because they blew their budget on the many luxury items pictured here - but it is still good enough to hold your interest. It doesn't feel overly cheap, and gets the job done where it counts. The backgrounds and user interface certainly hold things back, but that is more than made up for by the content of this, and of course, the compelling gameplay that you will find here for your gambling pleasure. Of note here are that there are two bonus games, where most games only have one, if any!

If all of that sounds like your thing, we recommend foregoing your own midlife crisis by playing this game. Although technically, if you win enough money, it could fuel your midlife crisis, giving you enough dough to spend on all the things that you hold dear. Either way, this is what we recommend, and will go over why in our review. We still recommend you skip all of this and jump right into the festivities, but that's not for us to decide, it's on you, and all of your midlife crisis having glory!

What is This Slot About?

This game is, of course, about the happy or unhappy period that many of us hit in our lives when we grow old enough to realize that we did not quite live up to many of the dreams that we had as children. Time flies by pretty quickly, and once you get to be between 30 and 40, you usually want to do all of the things that you never got around to it, which typically involve any number of things. In the case of this game, it is all about high price luxury items, attractive girls, motorcycles, and many of the things that we ourselves probably have and will do as we continue to have crises like this!

How Does the Game Actually Play?

This game plays fairly well, right in line with what you would expect given the way it looks. Although much of it is fairly standard, there are some fairly big bonus features that make it stand out above and beyond the rest of what you would usually see. We are certainly not referring to the wonderful progressive jackpots and betting amounts, although those are always appreciated. Here, we are referring to the pick your poison bonus mode, as well as another game that comes along with it. This is really two bonus games in one, which is twice as much as most of the games that we tend to play! This keeps things more interesting, and keeps us from going and having our own midlife crisis rather than playing the game!

The things that you can match here are many and varied, just like the things that we tend to indulge in and think about when we are going through one of these times. There is an unfortunately balding man that we feel pained anytime we look at, a wonderful motorcycle that looks good enough to ride, large amounts of cash that we would all love to win, a gold medallion that we will never win obviously, a hot looking Jacuzzi, a number of lovely ladies that we would love to get the phone numbers of, a parachute to save ourselves, some pills that we unfortunately have to take forever, a nice looking sports car, a cheap looking toupee, and a giant yacht!

How's it Look?

This game doesn't look like the most high budget effort on the market, but given the nature of the theme, we think they did a wonderful job with what they had to work with. It all looks fairly middle of the road in that way, focusing instead on the ideas and thoughts you will be having as you go through your own time like this. The colors vary quite a bit much like the items, the background is very poorly done and an afterthought, and the logo itself looks like it was probably made back in the 90s. In a way, however, that all is somewhat fitting to the theme!

Who is the Ideal Audience of this Particular Slot?

Although we feel bad saying it, this game will obviously appeal to you if you are between the ages of 30 and 50. It may even give you some uncomfortable thoughts! Or it will push you away, depending on how far into your own you currently are.

Summing it All Up - Should You Play This Fine Game?

Summing it up, Mid-Life Crisis Slots is a wonderful game based on a very uncomfortable theme that far too many of us can relate to, and ends up paying out quite well. Featuring double the number of bonus rounds you would find anywhere else, and a lovely set of images on the reels, this is one that has some real staying power, and will likely lead to some very unwanted introspection!
