Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that this game features a unique reel structure which is 3 x 3 x 4 x 4 x 5 x 5 and 214 ways to win. To form a win on the reels, you will need to land matching symbols in 3 or more adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel to the rightmost reel. With a massive 214 different ways to win, you will be winning a cash prize in this game in no time at all!

The Wild symbol in this slot is depicted by a red frame with the word ‘Wild’ placed inside. Like most Wilds, its main job is to substitute for all other symbols apart from the Scatter and Bonus symbols to help create winning combinations on the reels.

This game features 3 different bonus features which occur randomly in the main game. They are as follows:

  • Synced Reels: 2 to 6 reels can sync up and stop at the same position. Reels that display the same symbol height are synced up as pairs.
  • Nudge Reels: Up to 3 reels can be nudged 1 position up or down to increase your chances of forming a bigger winning combination.
  • Random Wilds: 4 to 8 Wilds are randomly placed on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The Scatter symbol is represented by a Golden Star with the words ‘Free Spins’. Land 3 or more of these symbols to trigger the special Free Spins bonus round. The more Scatters you land then the more Free Spins you will be awarded. For example, 3 awards 6 Free Spins, 4 give out 9 Free Spins, 5 gives 12 Free Spins, and if you are lucky enough to land 6 Scatters then you will receive a nice haul of 15 Free Spins. Keep a very close eye on the Bonus symbol during Free Spins as if you land 3 or more of these symbols on reels 3, 4, and 5 then you will activate the GRANDomizer feature. Once triggered, you will unlock either Synced Reels, Nudge Reels, or Random Wilds with 1 to 3 Extra Free Spins. A pleasing aspect of this feature is that the 3 random features highlighted above can now be combined together to great effect to further boost your chances of landing a Hollywood-sized fortune on the reels.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

With this being a Quickspin game you just know that the presentation of the game is going to be on point. It’s all about the class and elegance of 1920s Hollywood here. The game is set against a hypnotic purple hazy background with a beautifully designed reel structure that features a classy bronze type of frame. Symbols are wonderfully designed and consist of Green and Purple Gems along with classic Hearts/Spades/Diamonds/Clubs icons. The animations are neat as symbols zip up and down the reels on a unique reel layout and are highlighted nicely by a bright orange frame when part of a winning combination.

The music is calm and relaxing with a soft piano backing track used. It complements the classy Hollywood theme of the game quite well.

Our Verdict on The Grand

This game comes from leading software developer Quickspin and is a fun and enjoyable trip back in time to the Golden Age of Hollywood. The design of the game is flawless it has to be said and the unique reel structure enhances the gameplay quite nicely. In terms of bonus features, the 3 random bonus events triggered quite frequently with the Random Wilds feature being the most profitable out of all of them. The Free Spins feature, on the other hand, takes quite a few spins to trigger but it is here where you can land the biggest payouts in the game especially when you unlock and then combine the 3 random features together via the GRANDomiser. It is just a shame that you cannot retrigger the Free Spins feature as unfortunately, this symbol does not appear during Free Spins. I found this slot to be of High Variance so if you have lots of bankroll and time on your hands then this game is perfect for you. Lastly, the top prize for this slot is a whopping 2,901X your wager! For slots with a similar Glamour style theme, check out Cabaret Royale and La Rouge.
