The Bookie of Odds slot from Triple Edge Studios and Microsoft was just the ticket to lure this fun loving wombat out if his burrow and into the slot good times.
The bookie of this game’s title is busy drumming up betting trade track-side at the racecourse and on the reels. If you’ve been spinning melons and cherries on the likes of the Super Hot Fruits slot it’s time to stop now as we’re here for a great day at the horse races.
When I got a sniff of the 5,000x our wager win potential, this wombat was in!
Look and Feel
This track-side slot romp takes the biscuit with its immersive look and feel. The background to the reels is a grassy racetrack, hemmed in by the crowds. The reels are set in a fancy gold frame. Try the Grand National slot as well, by the way, if you like your horse racing slots.
Prepare yourself for a euphoric atmosphere. There’s a brass band playing, crowds cheering, coins falling and horses hooves. Call this a day at the races? It’s more like a slot riot with so many good vibes that I nearly had to lie down for a rest and a snack!
The sharper eyed among you will notice that under each of the five reels there is the word Re-spin.
Bookie of Odds Game Play
The horse-tastic action takes place over 3 rows, 5 reels and 10 pay-lines. Let’s see if we can make more money than Pablo in the Narcos slot machine! He’s probably spent a few hours at the racetrack.
The bookie at the centre of the Bookie of Odds slot is the highest value symbol on the reels too. The happy face of this fella is worth a breath-catching 12,500 coins for five on an active pay-line. Three runners and riders make up the other high scoring icons and watch out for a rider in a yellow, purple or blue jersey in particular.
The smartly turned out Ace through 10 of the card deck are the lower scoring symbols.
The Wild and Scatter are cleverly the same blooming icon, which is a nice easy one for a wombat to remember. This joint icon is a fancy pants golden book or the bookie’s ledger where he records the bets. Five of these Scatters on an active pay-line can make you 200 x your wager win potential!
The Bonuses
Re-spinning all the way to the bank
For a fee in the base game you can choose to hit those handy re-spin buttons at the bottom of each reel. With your re-spin you may just be in the running to complete a win.
Free Spins
Bring 3 or more of the gold Scatters to heel on the reels to launch the Free Spins game. 3, 4 or 5 Scatters will generate 10, 12 or 25 free games respectively. And, wait for it…..(drum roll)…if you can keep on landing those Scatters you’ll be able to generate endless free spins!! Bonza.
This mode comes with more than just generous free spins at random. Before you spin, a single icon will be selected at random (not the Wild) to become a special expanding symbol. If this special icon lands on multiple reels you could really be cheering the winner on. It’s not exactly royal enclosure behaviour, but why not wombat fans?
Conclusion
I love a day out at the races and Bookie of Odds slot is just that: a break from the hum-drum into the good times. The free spins are generous and with the special expanding icon, this mode is a nice little earner. There’s 5,000 x your wager appeal on each spin if you play your reels right.
The best part of this game for me was the re-spin option where you pay to boost your reel win chances. This is a feature we’ve seen before but frankly it’s a winner for this furry fella. A perfect day out at the gee-gees.
Wombat Score: 4 out of 5.
