Kummeli is a 20-payline video slot powered by Play’n GO software. The slot is inspired by the Finnish based show that ran from the early to mid-1990s. The most important symbols are the Beard Man, which is the Wild symbol, and the 5-Guys Group Photo, which stands for the Scatter symbol. Players can give this slot a spin here for free or visit Play’n GO on our website to play for real money.
Before diving deep into the wacky world of Finnish sketch comedy show, players are advised to set their betting range. Clicking on “Coin Value” icon allows setting the coin size which ranges from 0.01 to 0.25. By choosing the "Autoplay" option players will set the number of times they wish for the reels to turn without interruption and "Play" button is used to set the reels in motion after setting the bets.
The Wild sign symbol can substitute for all symbols in the game except for the Scatter, Bonus and Free Spins.
Whenever the 5-Guys Group Photo symbol appears 3 or more times on any of the reels, it will activate a Free Spins feature.
The Bonus game is triggered each time a player hits at least 3 Bonus symbols, whereby a scratch card mini game starts.
Gameplay:
“Coin Value”: Adjust the coin size.
Autoplay: The reels will turn without interruption for a chosen number of times.
Play: Set the reels in motion.
I'll admit I had no idea who Kummeli were when I first opened this game, but seeing the characters on the reels it was obvious there must be a bit of a background to this slot and a quick search of my good friend Google revealed that Kummeli are infact a Finnish comedy act consisting of five immature looking guys, one of whom does actually look a bit familiar actually (the guy in red?). Well, who knew? I guess these guys must be popular in Finland for Play N Go to make a slot about them, but as the theme is essentially lost on me I'll admit I didn't find this machines graphics all that interesting.
More interesting to me then was the games paytable, with 300x your bet awarded for hitting all the scanners and 5000 coins for a full line of the wilds it looked like this game could have some decent potential. Things were looking good after I made a tidy profit from my first hundred spins or so, and I think I could really get into a clone of this game with a theme that I found a little bit more enjoyable. I definitely got some funny looks from my boyfriend when he spotted me playing this game as he too had no idea who Kummeli were!
Unlike the majority of Play N Go slots there are bonus symbols on all five reels in this game rather than the more usual one, three and five only. There's no payout for hitting the bonus symbols though and regardless of how many you get you are still only rewarded with three picks from a small bonus game whereby three matching symbols can award up to 200x your bet. So far I've never managed to get three of a kind of anything though and so have received the minimum 5x stake for any three symbols every time I've reached the bonus. It would have been nice if you got an extra pick or two if you hit more than three bonus symbols.
