Paris Beauty

Art, Sound and the Spectacle of Paris Beauty

The first thing Paris Beauty shows you is Paris, rooftops and the Eiffel Tower in haze. Everything else on the screen of Paris Beauty — reels, buttons, paytable — is arranged around that scene. At the centre of the picture: a Parisienne with an umbrella on a bridge. That motif is both the highest-paying symbol in Paris Beauty and the face on the tile.

Below that the paytable runs through the Eiffel Tower, a croissant, a perfume bottle and an attic key, and under those sit the card ranks that fill the gaps on a quiet Paris Beauty spin. Colour does a lot of the work here: ash pink, Paris grey and gold, held consistently across symbols, background and bonus screens.

The soundtrack is widescreen, and it is worth leaving on — the feature trigger is easier to catch by ear than by eye. The mobile build of Paris Beauty reflows rather than crops: you lose some of the scene at the edges and keep every symbol of Paris Beauty readable.

That consistency is why the tile works at thumbnail size, and why Paris Beauty does not get lost between the games either side of it.

How the Paylines Pay

Under the art, Paris Beauty is a straightforward 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines machine. Wins are read left to right from the first reel, and only the highest combination on each line counts, so a second Parisienne further along the same line adds nothing. Payouts climb steeply near the top: the Parisienne is worth many times what the Eiffel Tower pays, and the card ranks at the bottom exist mainly to keep a losing spin from looking empty.

Beauty Wild is the entry to read first — substitutes for everything and doubles the line — because it is what turns a near miss on Paris Beauty into a paid line. Top end on Paris Beauty is 2,500× the line bet, and nothing on the base grid gets close to it — the number assumes Beauty Wild lines up.

On Paris Beauty one entry does the heavy lifting — Free Games: up to fifteen spins under a multiplier. Practically, that means a session on Paris Beauty divides into two very different modes, and judging the game on the base spins alone gives you half the picture.

Bet Size, Volatility and the Top End

A spin on Paris Beauty costs the line bet multiplied by 20 lines. Halving the line bet halves the Paris Beauty spin and every number in its paytable at the same time — the two move together. Note that 2,500× the line bet is a multiplier, not a rand figure. It holds at every stake, which is what makes Paris Beauty comparable with the games either side of it in the lobby.

Volatility on Paris Beauty is medium, which means it pays often enough to keep a session moving and hard enough now and then to be worth the wait. There is no such thing as the RTP of Paris Beauty. RTG supplies a configurable return and each operator picks a setting, which makes cross-site comparisons of this number meaningless — check the info panel inside Paris Beauty rather than a table on someone else's site.

Raising or lowering the stake mid-session leaves no memory behind in Paris Beauty: it settles each spin independently, and a run of losses does not make the next one better priced. Paris Beauty lets autoplay run until Beauty Wild lands, which is the sensible configuration — there is nothing on its base grid worth watching spin by spin.

Bonus Rounds Worth Waiting For

There are three things worth waiting for in Paris Beauty, starting with Beauty Wild. None of them fire often; all of them change the shape of a Paris Beauty session when they do.

Beauty Wild — substitutes for everything and doubles the line, counted against the same line bet you staked. On Paris Beauty this is the difference between a flat session and one you remember, so it is worth knowing what Beauty Wild looks like before it arrives.

Free Games. The paytable entry reads: up to fifteen spins under a multiplier, on the 5-reel grid described above. Free Games does not fire often on Paris Beauty, and the game is built on the assumption that you are waiting for it.

Boutique Bonus. The paytable entry reads: pick a shop window for a payout. Boutique Bonus is the part of Paris Beauty most worth having a balance left for.

None of these fire on demand, and that is the point: Beauty Wild is worth having a balance left for, and the rest of Paris Beauty is the wait.
