Conclusion
Gift Shop is as simple a 3 reel slots game as you could possibly imagine. In fact, I would argue that in order to come up with something so basic, so lacking in bonus features, so firmly rooted in the past, you might actually have to be a little creative. Slots games are capable of so much more. Yes, I know that when you peel off all the surface fluff most games, even ones with spectacular bonus features, are all the same. They’re all just the same game you played 20, 30 years ago with more bells and whistles. So maybe Gift Shop should be applauded for cutting through the nonsense and heading straight to the quick. However, the counter to that would be that we play these games, not just to win money, but also to be entertained and there is no doubt at all that Gift Shop falls a long way short of being entertaining. The final nail in the coffin for this game has to be the high house edge, making the game poor value for money on top of everything else.
