Taboo

Taboo Slot Machine Review

Online casino slots are intended for adult play only. But some games go a step further and include some very adult themes. Sex sells in the world of online gambling, but what if sex is the main theme of the game you are playing? Taboo Video Slot is a new release from one of the most exciting developers around today: Endorphina. The slot is certainly on the kinky side, with S&M themes and an abundance of leather. But after the success of Fifty Shades of Grey and its many sequels, there is obviously an appetite for this sort of thing.

The game is played on a standard 3×5 reel layout and there are 25 paylines to get hot and steamy over. Endorphina promises that the game will make players “want to go beyond their limits”. But does it? Let’s slip on the leather thong and explore the dark secrets of this online slot. Perhaps it has a safe place for low-limit players looking for a cheap thrill.

Indulge Your Darkest Secrets on Five Reels

EL James’ erotic novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, has been breaking records since its release. Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed have sold millions of copies in the few years since their release. Of course, online slot developers are never slow to pick up on popular themes. Taboo taps into the Fifty Shades craze with sultry music, deep velvet backdrops and plenty of bondage gear. Of course, we can’t forget the bondage gear.

Endorphina is a great online casino developer that loves to pack in the features. The 25 paylines in Taboo can be adjusted before spinning and there are six bet levels to choose from (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 coins). The minimum coin is set at 0.01, but players have the option of a maximum bet of 250.00. You can set a ‘reality check’ to limit your play to your preferred setting. And if you’re into your slots stats, it’s possible to keep track of your total bets, total wins, and playing session times. Just click on the Statistics tab at any time.

Whip Your Bankroll into Shape and Win 10,000 Coins

Bondage and role-playing are two of the main themes in the free Taboo slot machine. In fact, Endorphina has cleverly incorporated the acronym BDSM (Bondage/Dominance/Sadism/Masochism) into the payout table. The letters B, D, S and M are the low limit payers, awarding 5 to 100 coins when you land three to five of a kind on a win line. The leather whip is next, paying a 100 coin jackpot, while the leather spanking paddle pays 500 coins for five of a kind. No bondage-themed slot would be complete without a set of handcuffs, and we get some here, paying 20 to 750 coins.

As for the high-limit payouts, they are dominated by images of the dominatrix. We don’t see her face, but we do see her leather handcuffs (20-1000 coins) and a collar and chain that pays a whopping (or should it be ‘whipping’?) 10,000-coin jackpot. This slot is not for the faint of heart and the volatility is huge.

Triggering Expanding Wilds for Bonus Wins

While the regular base game in Taboo can be quite volatile, it’s tempered by a sweet expanding wild feature. The wild symbol only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, but it expands to cover the entire reel. We found the feature to be fairly regular. Unfortunately, the wilds didn’t really combine well with other symbols to create some big winners. There is a regular scatter symbol represented by the image of the dominatrix’s high heels. These pay 50 to 1250 coins if you land three to five anywhere on the game screen.

However, the big prizes in this slot are reserved for the bonus game. Get three bonus symbols on reels 3, 4 and 5 to trigger the Triskele Wheel game. First, spin the wheel to determine either a multiplier or entry into the bonus game. It’s possible to land a multiplier worth 10x to 25x your bet. The player has the option of accepting the real cash prize or having three attempts to improve on it.

If you land the wheel on the ‘Bonus’ segment, you trigger the Red Room bonus. This works like a standard Pick ‘Em game with a room full of BDSM toys. Select the correct items to progress through five levels of cash prizes. The game ends when you either complete the five prize levels or reveal a ‘Stop’ sign on the screen.

Similar Games / Clones

Endorphina may be one of the smaller casino software developers, but you will find their slots in some of the best online casinos. But what if you like expanding wilds and a bawdy theme? Fortunately, there are plenty of choices online. Our personal favorite is Bikini Beach by Gameplay Interactive. Like many of this Asian developer’s slots, Bikini Beach is heavy on the sex factor and features plenty of scantily clad beach girls on the reels. Expanding Wilds also appear on the middle three reels during a generous Free Spins round. Players can also trigger a Swimwear Pick ‘Em bonus round. Pick the right bikinis to win a nice cash prize.

Wild Blood, Play’n GO’s vampire themed slot, is both raunchy and a little deadly. It features a host of alluring female victims and a head vampire who goes wild. The male vampire also expands on the center reel to complete some pretty big paying combinations.

Dare You Explore the Taboo Slot?

With some high variance fun and an RTP of 96%, you won’t always see the big wins in Taboo. But the theme is fun, especially if you are into the EL James novels that this game is so obviously inspired by.

The animation of the symbols in Taboo is also great. When you get a winning combination, there is often a short animated sequence on the reels. For example, if you get three or more whips in a row, the symbols will jump off the screen and make an authentic crack. Give the free Taboo slot a try today and see if it unleashes any hidden urges.
