Big Apple Wins

Big apple wins is a slot based on the American city of New York. The game is placed on 5 row 3 reel grid layout and all symbols are designed with neon outlines which looks really cool. The slot has 20 active pay lines and if you don’t want to play on all 20 lines then you can reduce the pay lines as low as you want to, even 1. When you have 3 or more similar symbols on an active pay line it qualifies as a win and you can double your win on the gamble feature multiple times. The gamble feature has a wheel and an apple and pizza slice symbol on left and right. You can pick any one of the two and if the symbol you picked lands on the wheel your win is doubled. The game has 3 major symbols which are the number 7 in three different colours. Connecting 5 of a kind pays 10x your bet. The minor symbols are car and hoarding which pays 5x your bet size. Pizza slice and apple are the lowest paying symbols and you win 2x your bet every time you connect 5 of these. The standout feature of the game is stacked reels which means one symbol on a spin is chosen randomly to cover one or multiple reels fully or partially.
Landing 3 or more scatters wins you the bonus game and you get 10 free spins with increased chances of getting the stacked reel feature. The bonus lands every 200 to 300 spins and pays from 40x to 150x. The base game is excellent too and you get constant hits ranging from 20x to 70x thanks to the stacked reel feature. The best part is that you don’t just land minor but even major symbols during the stacked feature and this builds your balance over time and even if you don’t get the free spins feature your starting balance stays stable.

I wish the symbol payout was a bit higher. The stacked reel feature most of the time covers the last 3 reels but sadly never connects. The game on mobile can only be played on landscape mode and this cause your hand to pain when you do manual spins.

A slot from Booming Games and has a New York City theme with everything you would expect about New York to be here on a 5 reel 3 rows and 20 liner slot with a min bet of just 0.20 per spin if you go with all 20 lines but you can bet as low as 0.01 if you go 1 line only!. You get to see on the reels the New York City taxi, the Broadway symbol, the apple symbol, the 7’s of various colours and Wild symbol is represented by the statue of liberty.

The slot’s bonus feature is about getting those 3 or more scatters that show up on the 5 reels and you then get to start with a decent number of spins, always starts with 10 which means you don’t get extra for starting with 4 or more but it is what it is and then at least you do get a chance to retrigger with 3 or more scatters during the bonus feature. There is also a gamble feature at end of each winning spin you can have a go at double your win by choosing between the apple or the pizza which is interestingly different from the usual cards of red or black.

The music is so suitable for a New York slot from way back 50’s or earlier. You got trumpets going off and drums and flute and it is giving you that atmosphere you would expect from that time period. based and slow and something you would hear in some bar. The reels also have their own sound effects with each reel starting and stopping, not an annoying sound effect at all. The winning sound is a ping kind of sound which is pleasant as well.

I found that during my sessions on this particular slot getting the bonus wasn’t an issue as it landed on spin 48 and then went on to pay just under 22x and as far as base wins go there was a 15x on it as well which goes to show the game can throw out base wins if it wants to in between the near miss teases.

The slot has autoplay for up to 100 spins and the sound and music can be turned off individually too.

Max win cap is just 2000x but in addition to that you will get these unbelievable near misses that had to be programmed to tilt you when you see reels of wilds on the last 3 reels for example but nothing connected the first 2 reels and it is insane to see over and over and it is what it is this slot does put it in more than others. No bonus buy of course on this slot as it’s max win cap doesn’t give it much to win anyway.
