From a fun thing to put on social media, to an online language, to a global phenomenon, it is truly astounding how much the popularity and overall omniscience of emojis has grown in a relatively short space of time.This year’s Emoji Movie, which stars international treasure Patrick Stewart, is just another sign of how huge emojis have got, and unsurprisingly, this popularity has leaked over into the online slot world, with the upcoming release of EmojiPlanet, a video slot from Swedish software developer NetEnt.The first footage of this slot has just been released, so we have a better idea of what is coming, and it’s not looking like this is going to be the subtlest of slots!NetEnt Release First Footage of EmojiPlanet

What we know

All your favourite emojis are all present on the reels in this insanely colourful slot game. The imagery and animations, which including dancing she-devils and heart-eyed unicorns, with sunshine and rainbows at every turn, are beautifully done.The way the slot is put together brings to life the idea of phone chats, so EmojiPlanet puts emojis in the context that we all know them, which is comforting.The six-reel, five row setup is pretty unique for a slot game, and does a great job of bringing the world of emojis and slot games together, to a colourful, noisy meeting in the middle.

Gameplay

We know a bit of what comes here, for example, the maximum pay-out is a staggering 1,000,000 coins!Five symbols trigger special features here, including Star Wilds, Sticky Wilds, Bombs that explode to form winning combinations, expanding Pizza Symbols, and a Rocket meter that makes more wilds appear.How this game feels to play, we will have to wait to find out, but one thing this footage from NetEnt makes clear, is that there’s going to be a lot going on in EmojiPlanet! https://youtu.be/P1KD_h9_PCc
