Play Cocktails Time for Free

Join in the game by taking a seat at the elegant bar, and ordering a drink. There’s plenty to choose from in this virtual bar with lots of bottles lined up on the shelves.

With a foaming beer on the counter, plus sparkling wine and cocktails too, there’s no shortage of choice when it comes to choosing your poison.

So take a moment to relax, and then it’s swiftly onwards to start playing the game…

After too many drinks you might feel like the room is whirling around but don’t worry, the reels really do move in this slot. But you’ll need to set them in motion yourself if you want to stand a chance of winning some serious cash.

There are 5 reels to play on and these are set in the middle of a sophisticated bar area. The design works well and the reels look perfectly in place of the usual optics but the only slight problem is the size. Although in proportion to the game, the reels are slightly on the small side. This isn’t an issue on a full size screen but on a smaller screen it can make it quite tricky to see exactly what symbols you’ve spun.

Included on the slot are 35 paylines; having this many can be a real advantage as it provides the chance of winning more cash. However, if you’re on a tight budget having lots of paylines can be a problem as it ups the stake. You can get around this by choosing to play on fewer paylines; you can alter these by using the plus and minus keys at the bottom of the screen.

However, reducing the number of paylines will also drop your chances of a win. An alternate strategy would be to keep the number of paylines unchanged but to reduce your stake per line. This means that if you do win, the prize will be lower but you’ll have a better chance of winning more frequently! The coin value can also be set at the bottom of the screen in the control panel.

Ultimately the strategy you use is up to you but don’t forget you can alter it as often as you want so don’t be afraid to change your tactics depending on how the game is going.

Alcohol is notorious for making folk feel warm and fuzzy inside so you won’t be surprised to discover that there’s a few little extras on the reels to help you notch up a win.

The wild is a huge help, standing in for other symbols to make it easier to match up a winning combination. However, in this game you’ll receive an extra wild, meaning there are two wilds on the reels! And that’s not all, you’ll also get a handy multiplier if you use a wild to make a match which means that your prize is boosted much higher than it would be normally.

There are also free spins and a bonus game, although you won’t be taken to a side feature to play this out. In Cocktails Time, the bonus is played out on the main reels which lacks a little bit of creativity compared to other slots.

Nevertheless during the bonus phase you’ll have the added advantage of playing with sticky wilds. These retain all the functions of a regular wild, but are also sticky. This means that when the reels are respun they will remain in position and won’t shift. The sticky wilds will stay firmly stuck until you’ve won a prize, so during this bonus you’ll be guaranteed of a win of some kind!
