Shake and Win Slot Review
The first time James Bond ordered the Vodka Martini "Shaken Not Stirred", was in 1962. 🍸 Since then, every single bartender has tried to serve him something different.
Virtually everybody that orders a Vodka Martini shaken not stirred at a bar does so without knowing it's not how it's meant to be served. 🤷🏻
Ask anybody working behind the bar, and they'll tell you that the reason to stir your martini (and not shake) is that it avoids bruising the gin which creates a glass full of ice. 🧊 Stirring it, on the other hand, creates an uncluttered, clear drink.
Bond didn't really want to have the perfect drink, he just liked the show and for people to remember it. This preference for spectacle over subtlety, was exactly how Platipus Gaming designed Shake and Win Slot.
Gameplay
A wooden dock at the edge of a tropical beach, with palm trees leaning in from both sides and thatched sun shelters over the rail seems like the perfect getaway. Where’s my cocktail?
The game plays out on a 5x3 grid with 5 fixed paylines, and the Cocktail Shaker is the most valuable symbol, paying 1,500x for a full line of 5, 200x for 4, and 50x for 3.
The Coconut is next at 250x, 100x, and 25x, while the Pineapple pays 100x, 45x, and 20x. The Dragon Fruit pays 60x, 25x, and 10x, followed by the Starfruit at 50x, 20x, and 10x by the time you're down to 3, the Orange pays 40x, 10x, and 5x, while the Kiwi settles for 30x, 10x, and 5x.
The Wild substitutes for all other symbols and it can land anywhere on the reels.
Here’s a quick look at the stats: a 95% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., a low/medium volatility rate, a 5,000x max multiplier, and a $350,000 max win.
Features
JACKPOT FEATURE
When you land a Wild, every symbol on that reel turns Wild. If you can fill all 5 reels with Wilds, you’ll bag the 5,000x Grand Jackpot.
Performance
I ran a long session on that dock and the game never spilled a drop. No stutters, no freezes, no reel forgetting its cue to shake.
Maximum Win
Secure the $350,000 max win by landing the 5,000x max multiplier on a $70 top bet. If that's out of your comfort zone, the game takes bets as low as $0.20.
Conclusion
The slot's biggest payday comes down to one move. A Wild drops onto a reel, drags every symbol on that reel Wild with it, and if that happens on all 5 reels in the same spin, the Grand Jackpot is all yours.
To get there means that all 5 reels need to land their own Wild on the same spin, which is rare, but it does happen so don’t give up hope.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is on the lower end and is better suited for shorter bursts instead of an all-nighter.
The odd part, and it's odd in your favor, is that low/medium volatility. A game handing out small, regular wins doesn't normally leave a 5,000x prize sitting at the end of the night, and that gap lands on your side of the bar.
Patient players who enjoy steady small wins with a proper long shot hanging over them will get on with the game fine. Anyone who wants to buy their way into a big swing before the ice melts should drink elsewhere.
