If you have not been to Hollywood, but fancy a VIP trip there, you have come to the right place. You will not only get the chance to attend a prestigious red carpet award ceremony, but will also get to go backstage to meet all the stars and crew! One thing is for sure – The Bloopers slot is as ‘Hollywood’ a slot can get.
Before you even start playing, you will be greeted by a stunningly done animation sketch, introducing all of the characters that you will meet in this game. We loved how Elk Studios has designed a bonus feature after each of the characters, making this game a whole lot more interactive on many levels.
Game Basics
Bloopers comes in the standard form of a 5×3 reel layout that is paired with 243 ways to win. Tickets to attend this award ceremony start at a mere 25p and go all the way up to £100 per spin; we sure feel that this range is wide enough to fit all players with different budgets.
As mentioned previously, you will be greeted by a short animation sketch that will depict all the different characters in this game. You will meet some of them in the base game and others when the bonus features are triggered. Best part is, Bloopers offers up to £185,000 in cash prizes in the base game alone!
Payout-wise, you should be expecting rare wins. Although this is compensated by massive win sizes, we still think that this trade-off is more risky than that of its counterparts. In our experience playing this game, a lot of the profits are made from the bonus features, but the key factor that helps with maintaining your bank balance will be the Wilds.
Bonus Features
This is where the Hollywood within Bloopers comes out. Right from all the stars to the backstage crew, they shine in one bonus feature or another. As with all mobile slots from Elk Studios, there are tonnes of Wilds to be won. In this game, the Wilds come in the form of the Bloopers game logo and will take the place of any other symbol on your reels to complete winning paylines.
Here comes the blockbuster feature of Bloopers – Extra Spins! To trigger the extra spins bonus feature, you will need to obtain a minimum of three bonus symbols on your reels. We loved how Elk Studios did not set a limit to how many extra spins you can win.
That said, additional bonus symbols that you get during your extra spin rounds will only add more spins to your existing count. All the characters you will meet in the extra spins are part of the backstage crew. The following are what they will reward you with:
- Blue Stunt-Man feature – Get him during your extra spins and he will transform all the Wilds on your reels to Expanding Wilds;
- Purple Fix-it feature – He will rearrange symbols on your reels to give you the highest possible win;
- Green Cutter feature – After a win, all the symbols on your reels will be replaced with new ones, giving you potential to win another time, essentially a free re-spin;
- Pink Make-up feature – More extra spins will be granted!
How Does The Game Perform?
We are extremely delighted that the quality of Bloopers is something you did expect from a slot with a heavy Hollywood theme. All of the symbols are designed with great attention to detail and we loved how Elk Studios have given each character a job on top of attaching a bonus feature to each and every one of them.
There are tonnes of little animations in Bloopers too and are mostly prevalent during the extra spins gameplay. Every time you trigger the feature of a character, there will be a small celebration and sometimes, the blooper will even do a little dance on your screen. Nothing too over the top, but just enough to capture your precious attention in a non-obtrusive way.
The user interface of this game is highly commendable. All buttons are nicely spaced and you and find anything and everything without any hassle on your screen. Bloopers is also compatible with all types of devices (including mobile), so you don’t have to worry on that end.
The Feature That You Should Look Out For
The Hollywood theme and Elk Studios gave the whole movie crew a job to do in this slot, and it’s just incredible. Never before have we seen every character in a slot game with something tangible to do. Together, all of them bring you a game full or surprises and rewards. Now, that is a rare character that only a handful of slots exhibit!
Don’t get us wrong though, Bloopers is not all just show either. Up to £185,000 are up for grabs in the base game alone! Nope, that wasn’t a typo and thinking of it a bit more, that sum is higher than most jackpots in other games.
And Finally…
Every single minute playing the Bloopers slot had been an absolute blast. The theme is amazing and has been beautifully executed on top of the slot offering massive cash prizes to be won. Elk Studios has claimed that over 200,000 players have enjoyed this game ever since its release. Having played it, we now understand why. It is as good as everyone says it is!
