Funk Master

Someone at NetEnt must have a penchant for bopping at the disco since Funk Master isn't the studio's first trip back to the groovy era.Disco Dannywas one previous exploit, which actually started life asDisco Monkeybefore being recast with a human lead. Funk Master is a completely different type of slot, though, and its key competitor has got to beJammin' Jarsand, by extensionJammin' Jars 2. It was always going to be tough taking on such a classic slot, and in a dance-off, Funk Master puts up a pretty good fight but fails to outdo Push Gaming's mega-hit. Pinning down exactly where Funk Master comes up short is the max win potential. The game's got a juicy mix of clusters, avalanches, persistent wilds, and the occasional multiplier, so it's more a case of simply being outclassed in terms of potential than doing something criminally wrong. Theme treatment is extremely satisfying, though some might feel a slight disco ball overload going on, and the lack of a personal touch possibly holds Funk Master back. There's certainly no amusingDisco Dannyleading man nor infuriatingly cute jars. Instead, the game has something soullessly corporate about it, which gives off a modernistic vibe rather than a spirited 1970s free for all one. At the end of the day, it wouldn't have hurt if the potential had been higher, as it could have knocked the game out of the ballpark. Adding multipliers values rather than multiplying them limits their effectiveness, leaving winning possibilities max out at3,337x the bet, which is noticeably less than a lot of games Funk Master is going up against. Funk Master does bring a good level of funk through its collection of workable features, but we're not sure it's quite the master of funk it makes itself out to be. While it is a polished and phenomenally executed production overall, Funk Master is more a follower of fashion than a fearless trendsetter - a pretty and thoroughly entertaining one, though, it has to be said.
