Key to Success

SG Digital does not often come up with innovative themes or features. Hopefully Key To Success does have some innovative elements, because then this slot can become very successful.

Unfortunately, we can say right away that Key To Success does not have an original theme, because it is simply about money. In itself, of course, this is a clever theme, because after all, who doesn’t love money? Every slot machine player dreams of winning a mega prize one day.

That this is a money theme becomes clear within seconds of loading Key To Success. This is because you see a large vault door open, after which the playing field comes into view. This playing field is located inside the vault, which is otherwise remarkably empty.

Features

If we take a quick look at the features, we must unfortunately disappoint ourselves. Key To Success does not have any innovative features either. The slot actually only has a free spins feature. In the base game it is looking out for wilds and Vault symbols.

Wilds

As is the case with almost every slot machine, Key To Success also makes use of Wild symbols. These are clearly recognizable when they land, as they have “Wild” written all over them. Wilds function in Key To Success basically the same as in most other slots. They can take the form of any pay symbol in the game (not Vault symbols or Key symbols). Wilds therefore allow you to complete or expand winning combinations.

Free Spins

You can activate the free spins feature of Key To Success by spinning at least 3 Vault symbols in the base game. You will then not receive a certain number of free spins. The free spins feature of Key To Success only ends when the minimum multiplier is reached. How high that minimum multiplier is depends on the number of Vault symbols you have spun.

• 3 Vault symbols yield a minimum multiplier of x20.
• 4 Vault symbols yield a minimum multiplier of x30.
• 5 Vault symbols yield a minimum multiplier of x50.

During the free spins feature, Key symbols can land on the reels. Depending on the number of Vault symbols spun, you need X number of Key symbols to step onto the special Key Path. On this Key Path, multipliers can be seen. The greater the number of steps you take on the Key Path, the higher the multipliers become.

Key to Success features stacked wilds.

If you have spun 3 Vault symbols before activating the free spins feature, then you need 2 Key symbols to take a step on the Key Path.
If you have spun 4 or 5 Vault symbols to trigger the free spins feature, then you need 4 Key symbols to take a first step on the Key Path.
After that, 2 Key symbols suffice for a step on the Key Path. By the way, the Key Path can be seen above the playing area during the free spins feature. It is also important to note that during the free spins feature, wild symbols remain fixed in place after they land. They remain fixed for the remaining duration of the feature so they can help form combinations multiple times.

All in All

Surely we can’t help but be a little disappointed in SG Digital. Key To Success is in fact far from innovative. Not in terms of features nor in terms of theme. There was so much more to it.

And this time the design is also quite disappointing. Although we should perhaps not be too harsh in this regard as this is also the case with other top games such as 88 Fortunes and Raging Rhino. Technically, it’s all fine again, but a special game is Key To Success certainly not.

The slot machine scores no more than average on all fronts. This is reflected in our review. We rate Key To Success with 3 out of 5 stars. The makers themselves have not yet found the Key To Success with this slot.
