Play The Gambling Bug for Free

In similar style to movies such as Bugs Life or Honey I shrunk the Kids, the theme of this slot is ground level, with grass as high as houses and the blue-sky what seems to be millions of galaxies away. A small wooden structure surrounds the 5x3 grid of symbols and it’s on those reels that all the antics take place. A jolly, light-hearted tune plays out constantly from the slot machine, it’s pleasant enough, so no need to reach for the mute button.

A yellow bug dealer, toadstool casino, spider, slug, lady beetle, caterpillar, fly and card values of 9 to A (made from lettuce), are the symbols of this game. As with all Spin Games online casino slots, the control panel allows you to adjust your bets, monitor your wins and bankroll plus view the pay table of payouts.

The casino dealer is the symbol that you have to be on the look out for, because 5 of a kind will award the top prize of 10,000 coins – what this will be worth in real cash, will be determined by the value of your stake. The dealer not only awards the highest cash prize, but when he completes a 5 of a kind combination, he will double the value of it, an example of this is five of a kind of the spiders will award 5,000 coins, but when the dealer falls as part of that combination, the value will double to 10,000 coins. Another medium value symbol is the slug, which awards 2,500 coins for a win line full of symbols, but if the dealer is part of that payout, the value is doubled to 5,000 coins.

The gambling bug (dealer) is a wild symbol and appears on reel 3, substituting for all other symbols bar scatter, to help create wins and when he does form a win, that value is doubled. The dealer will only appear on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 during the bonus game. To get your hands on the bonus feature, you will need at least three of the toadstool symbols (scatter), to fall into view.

Each of the casino symbols can reveal up to 10 free spins (total of 50 free games) and when the gambling bug appears on reel 3 during your free games, he will replace any spiders, slugs or lady beetle symbols on the screen, before awarding a win. Free spins can be retriggered.

The Gambling Bug is one of our favourites to come from the Spin Games catalogue of slots, because it’s vivid, bold and full of different winning combinations. The wins don’t wait a lifetime to show up, they’re frequently falling in this medium variance slot, meaning you don’t have to spend a lot to get your hands on a win.

Despite the wins being regular, they are small in value, so to get the most out of your cash, you will have to trigger the free games as often as possible – but this is quite a task. It took us over 75 minutes to get the free games but when we did, we were rewarded for our efforts, because our 500.00 stake, resulted in us winning over 4,550 in real cash. The Gambling Bug is fun-filled, animated and exciting to play, something that will appeal to many a slots player.
