Introduction to Super Graphics Upside Down
Super Graphics Upside Down is a casino slot from Blueprint Gaming with a bit of an unusual name. While part of the Combo Frenzy series, Super Graphics Upside Down is definitely in a league of its own, just from its strangeness, as seen in its visuals inspired by late-2000s fan-made Japanese anime and manga, and the anime character that only speaks Japanese. While the rest of the Combo Frenzy series are a bit more bit normal, as seen with the previously released Genie Jackpots Combo Frenzy, Super Graphics Upside Down disregards the typical 3 Pots formula for a bit of a twist on the normal foundation. The game is based around its Lucky Cats, coming in 3 different types of colors, and these can trigger the Bonus Spins, which is, of course, played upside down, with varying Wild Multipliers and maybe even a spin on the Bonus Wheel. So join us as we check out the strangest release from Blueprint Gaming so far, where everything will be turned upside down in your hunt for the max win of 3,000X the bet.
Wild Multipliers and Lucky Cats are to help you cash out on wins in a plethora of ways, be it from Multiplied paylines, Cash Prizes, or one of the many Jackpots. If you want to check out the game for yourself, be sure to give the Super Graphics Upside Down demo a try.
Theme, Gameplay & Mechanics
Super Graphics Upside Down is a video slot with 5 Reels, 3 Rows, and 243 Ways to Win. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.2 and a Max.bet of 60. Super Graphics Upside Down comes with a lower-than-average RTP of 94.25% and medium volatility, with a rather low max win of 3,000X the bet.
We’re no strangers to anime animations or anime-themed slots, however, Super Graphics Upside Down definitely brings out an old, and maybe even forgotten, style of anime, and for seemingly no reason, as there is very little theming to go off of here. You can play the game on most desktops, mobiles, and notepads.
The lower-paying symbols are cherries, lemons, plums, oranges, watermelons, and grapes. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 0.2X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are J, Q, K, A, and the Super Graphics title. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 0.5X to 1.2X the bet. The Special Symbols are Wilds and the 3 different colored Token Symbols.
Special Features & Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Super Graphics Upside Down?
You can win up to 3,000X the bet.
What features are available in the slot Super Graphics Upside Down?
The features are Wild Symbols, Tokens and Lucky Cats, Bonus Spins, and Bonus Wheel.
Wild Symbols
Wild Symbols appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the main game and in the Bonus Spins, and help form winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Tokens. During the Bonus Spins, Wild Symbols come with Multipliers ranging from 2X to 4X, depending on the active Bonus Spins type.
Tokens and Lucky Cats
In the base game, there are 3 types of different colored Tokens which, in the base game, can randomly award a cash prize ranging from 2X to 15X the bet. However, Tokens will also be collected by the color corresponding to Lucky Cat and have a chance to trigger the respective Bonus Spins.
Bonus Spins
The Bonus Spins are randomly triggered by landing one or more Tokens with the respective colored Tokens bonus, giving you 7 spins, and the reels flip upside down. The Blue and Green Tokens work together, as they only increase the Wild Multipliers, but the Red Token works a bit differently, awarding you with a spin on the Bonus Wheel before the bonus game actually starts. The Bonus Spins are as follows:
Blue Bonus Spins = Awards 2X Wild Multipliers.
Green Bonus Spins = Awards 3X Wild Multipliers.
Super Bonus Spins (Blue + Green) = Awards 4X Wild Multipliers.
Ultra Bonus Spins (Blue + Red) = Awards 2X Wild Multipliers and a spin on the Bonus Wheel.
Supreme Bonus Spins (Green + Red) = Awards 3X Wild Multipliers and a spin on the Bonus Wheel.
Ultimate Bonus Spins (Blue + Green + Red) = Awards 4X Wild Multipliers and a spin on the Bonus Wheel.
The Red Token is the only token that can show up during the bonus game, and if triggered, will instantly award the Bonus Wheel.
Bonus Wheel
The Bonus Wheel is awarded by the Red Token and guarantees a Jackpot cash prize ranging from 20X to 2,000X the bet. If a Bonus Spins combo includes the Red Token, the Bonus Wheel is played before the Bonus Spins start. The Jackpots are as follows:
Mini = Worth 20X the bet.
Minor = Worth 50X the bet.
Major = Worth 200X the bet.
Mega = Worth 1,000X the bet.
Grand = Worth 2,000X the bet.
Final Thoughts on Super Graphics Upside Down
Super Graphics Upside Down is, as we’ve said previously in this review, a strange game. Ironically, we wouldn’t exactly say it comes with super graphics or even good visuals at all, and instead, it seems Blueprint Gaming leaned into making a rather ugly-looking game. The game tries its best to be a niche old-school land-based casino game, with outdated graphics, a weird bonus game that’s played upside-down with an anime character who speaks Japanese to you, and lacking, but convoluted features. While we don’t want to blindly hate on the game, Super Graphics Upside Down doesn’t really have much going for it outside of its bizarre and almost comedic presentation.
If we instead move to gameplay and features, we should start with the stats, as we do want to mention that they aren’t that good either, with a lower-than-average RTP of 94.25% and a rather low max win of 3,000X the bet. First thing out of the gate, you might have noticed that this game has a pretty bad payout table, with its highest-paying symbol only paying 1.25X the bet. This can, of course, in theory be balanced out with the Token Cash Prizes in the base game and the Wild Multipliers in the Bonus Spins, but in practice, it just doesn’t feel enough. Then we come to the bonus game, which we at first believed was gonna be a 3 Pots formula game, as the previous Combo Frenzy release had been, but Super Graphics Upside Down somehow makes it even less interesting. Two of the three bonuses for the Bonus Spins are only Wild Multipliers, and the last one is a gateway to the Bonus Wheel, which is where you’ll hit the biggest wins with a Jackpot sitting at 2,000X the bet, but nothing more outside that. That means that in most of your Bonus Spins activations, you’ll only have Wild Multipliers, which just aren’t that interesting when you already have a bad paytable. As said before, we don’t want to fully hate on this game, as it is very unique in its visuals and theme, but its gameplay doesn’t really do it justice. However, for its uniqueness and strangeness, we do think that this is a fun game to look at and experience, at least for a little while, but then we would highly recommend checking out the Super Graphics Upside Down demo beforehand.
Super Graphics Upside Down is a slot with old-school graphics and a land-based casino vibe, but it misses many pointers and feels rather lackluster in many ways.
