Blueprint Gaming have gone all-out old-school in Big Money Frenzy slot. The opulent, gold-framed 5x3 grid spins symbols related to immense wealth against a rich green background. And a swinging big band soundtrack adds to the whole over-the-top decadent Roaring Twenties atmosphere.
Gameplay is straightforward with just two bonus rounds, Money spins and Frenzy Spins, but the win potential implied in the title is definitely there, thanks to these. So much so that Blueprint has capped the top possible win at 250,000!
As I said, the symbols are all to do with money and wealth, with five single precious stones making up the low pays. Then piles of gold coins, wads of cash, gold bars, and a huge shiny diamond as the premiums. The maximum win for a combo of regular symbols is 1000 x the line bet for five of the diamonds across a payline. The betting range is from 0.10 to 200.00 per spin, which means from 0.01 to 20.00 for the line bet.
The game doesn't have a Wild, but there are Scatters. These are Money symbols, cash values in oval, art deco frames, and three or more anywhere in view trigger the Money Spins.
Another Scatter becomes active during the bonus. This is an oval-framed Frenzy Spins symbol, and just one in a few will trigger a Frenzy Spin, which I'll explain below.
The base game has one random bonus. This is a golden dollar sign mystery symbol that can land stacked up to three high on more than one reel at once, before transforming to reveal one randomly chosen symbol, including the Money Symbol Scatter.
When the Money Spins kick in, the triggering symbols stick in place, and three respins are awarded. During these, only Money Symbols and blanks land, with each new symbol also sticking and resetting the counter to three. When the counter runs down or all positions are full, all the cash values are collected and awarded to the player, and the round ends.
If a Frenzy Spin symbol lands during this bonus, Frenzy Spins are triggered after Money Spins end. During these, the cash values of all the symbols on the grid are collected and awarded to the player on every spin, and every Frenzy Spin symbol that lands awards one more spin.
I love the way the design of this game manages to be basic and over-the-top at the same time. And you can say the same about the gameplay; nothing new in the way of features, but great fun all the same. The medium to high volatility provides a nice combination of potential wins, but it's still a gambling game, so remember to set a loss limit before playing. Bluepring Gaming have brought us many other great slot games like Winstar and Big Money Slingo. Try them out at Gala Bingo. Good Luck!
