Playability
The Curious Machine Slot in action
Playing this game is easy, but understanding quite why you’ve won isn’t. This game is trying to jazz up the traditional 3 column slot with 5, so of course there will be some more complicated metrics for scoring at all, rather than hoping for a full row of the same icon. There are quite a number of options for playing, including selecting various lines where patterns might occur, and placing bets along those lines. It makes a random game feel a touch less random. It is equally refreshing that despite all the investment in the games animation, development, and theme, the technical playability is not lacking either, with clarity and no needed features lacking.
Music & Animation
Adventurous music kicks off right from the load screen full of vim and vigor. The sound effects are also exceptionally good along with equally crisp animation. Sporting some of the best 3D integration of any recently released slots; BetSoft really puts other skeletal slots releases to shame with this truly beautiful slot game sporting legitimate art.

Summary
The Curious Machine is a 5-column slot machine with a steam-punk Victorian era theme. Adventurous music starts up right from the get go, along with countless little moving details around the main slot display. A frizzy-haired inventor and his extremely small version of the Iron Giant, keep you company as you play the slots. The icons are generally depicting faces or scenes from exploration in time and space, including futuristic cities and a disgruntled T-Rex. If you win, the inventor and his robot will congratulate you on your success, which I think is very genial addition.
