Singles Day Slots
Singles Day is celebrated across China on November 11th by people who are happy to be un-attached, but thanks to the Singles Day video slot machine from Booongo, they could also be celebrating the regular payouts, extra wins from wild symbols and the bonus spins available when the right symbols stop across any of 50 paylines.
Based in the Ukraine, Booongo are an expanding company that’s making a name for slot machines that have sharp graphics, smooth animations and unique bonus features. While Singles Day may be one of the more basic-looking games from Booongo, it’s got enough of a theme and features to make it well worth a peek, and who knows, maybe players will find the slot game of their dreams.
The romance begins in a nightclub that surrounds the reels with glitter balls, dancing guests and flashing lights, while the pumping soundtrack brings the party to life. Drinks, glowsticks, piles of cash and a couple dancing are the main picture symbols, along with a high-paying pair of cartoon foxes. What these have to do with Singles Day is a bit of a mystery to us, but they pay out some of the top prizes, so why complain?
Playing Singles Day
Before taking these reels for a spin around the dancefloor, players may want to practice free Singles Day video slots rounds. All 50 paylines are active at all times, so the low limit is a comparatively steep 0.50 per spin, while a maximum of 150.00 should be plenty for most bankrolls. Matching symbols across any line, in an unbroken row from the left side is all that’s needed to get a win and the smallest of these are going to be paid when the colourful disco-styled 9 or 10 appear.
Each of these will pay out the equivalent of 10x the amount staked per line when they stop on reels 1, 2 and 3, while 4 on a line will be worth 20x and landing either right across the 5 reels will see wins of 200x paid. The Q and J are both valued at 10x, 30x and 200x, while the K and A symbols pay 20x. 50x or 400x the line stake.
The unique picture symbols return wins starting with 20x, 100x or 400x for a pint of beer, or the piles of cash. The blue and pink glowsticks, and the dancers viewed through blue and pink bottles are each worth 4x when landing on reels 1 and 2 only, while full runs of 5 will see wins of 500x. The best awards come from the foxes, and when this unlikely couple appear, punters are paid from 10x their line stake to 2000x.
Bonuses to Make You Want to Dance
The sign above the nightclub entrance is a welcoming symbol in more ways than one, as it’s able to act as any other, apart from the scatter symbol, and complete winlines. This wild symbol can plug any gaps in a continuous run of another if it’s in the right position and also turn winning combinations into higher-paying lines of 4 or 5 across the right-side reels.
A dancing couple are the scatter symbol, paying out bonus wins and triggering free games whenever the land in any 3 or more places in a single spin. An initial payout equal to 4x the total stake is claimed, after which 10 free spins will begin, and during this mode an extra wild symbol will be added to each of the reels, apart from the first reel on the left.
Should players land 3 more scatters in a free spin, once the current games have finished, another 5 bonus games will be added on to the end.
Worth Making a Date?
The Singles Day online slot will appeal to anyone who likes nightclubbing, but beyond this, it’s a fairly standard game, certainly in the way it looks. The animations are reasonable enough and if the style and theme suits, the gameplay is actually quite good. While wild substitutions are a good way to land some extra winning combinations, it’s the free spins bonus round that’s the main feature here.
By having additional wilds on the reels, players stand a better chance of getting coin-winning spins, and it comes with a declared return to player percentage of over 95%, so even in the base game, there should be lots of payouts.
It’s been developed in HTML5, which makes it a mobile-optimised game, ideal for those who like a few spins when they are away from a desktop PC.
