I can’t tell you how many times I have imagined being among the richest people in the world. Spending days on expensive yachts, sipping cocktails on some exotic destination is the dream, eh?
Thanks to Playtech and Big Shots, I had a glimpse of the good life while testing the game. I found myself at some luxurious summer destination that reminded me of the French Riviera. I imagine that all famous people spend their summers there.
The reels overlook a breathtaking bay packed with expensive boats and yachts. The background reminds me of a lovely postcard. As I played the game, I enjoyed the sounds of the sea and seagulls.
It is no wonder that Playtech named the 2019 release Big Shots. All the leaders of every industry can be found on the reels. What I reckon to be the 5 richest people in the world act as high-paying symbols.
Card suits made from precious gemstones are the low-value icons. The diamond is the Wild that appears on every reel and substitutes for every symbol but the Scatter. The Scatter appears on the 4 central reels and triggers free spins.
What I understood over time is that the richest people are usually the simplest people in the world. Everything is straightforward with them. Playtech is aware of that fact, thus creating a pokie machine that is simple to use.
Big Shots is played on a 6×4 grid, offering 4,096 Ways to Win. The slot pays left to right, beginning from the far-left reel. You need matching symbols on at least 3 successive reels to win a payout. Set the bet somewhere between $0.20 and $160, and you are ready to go.
The 2019 release is of high variance and offers a max win of 15,360x the bet. The RTP of the pokie is 96.10%.
Playtech decided to keep it simple with the extras, too. The only two additional features that you will come across are Colossal Symbols, or Big Symbols, and the Free Spins feature.
Every icon on the grid can appear as a Colossal Symbol, up to 4×4 in size. The Scatter needs to appear in full size to trigger free spins.
Colossal Symbols, or Big Symbols, appear everywhere on the reels. During the base game, every symbol can appear in different shapes and sizes. They can cover up to 4 reels at once.
I had so much fun with Colossal Symbols. They brought me loads of delicious payouts while I was waiting for the Scatter to appear.
The Wild symbol landed often, helping me form winning combos on a regular basis. My biggest win in the base game was 1,500x the bet. Not bad for a single-spin win, eh?
The Scatter is actually a photo of all high-paying regular symbols, aka Big Shots that spend time in this amazing tropical destination. Once the Scatter covers reels 2-5 entirely, you will trigger the Free Spins feature.
You get 5 free spins during which low-paying icons do not appear. This gives you a chance to pocket huge wins. The feature can be retriggered more than once. All you need to do is land a new Scatter.
That is easier said than done. It took me around 150 spins to trigger my first Free Spins feature. It was worth my time and money because I won almost 3,000x from freebies.
In total, I triggered the Free Spins feature 3 times while I tested the games, and each time my total win was not lower than 1,800x.
Another important thing that I learned about rich people is that you need to be very careful around them. While some of them are kind and willing to help, some of them will take all your money just for fun. They aren’t so rich without a reason, eh?
The same thing goes for Big Shots. It was extremely generous to me while I tested the pokie. Nevertheless, some of you will not have so much luck with the Playtech title. I enjoyed playing the 2019 release, especially because I won a lot. Also, I enjoyed the game because of the features.
Note that it will take you time to trigger free spins. Colossal Symbols will appear regularly, providing you with possibilities for decent wins.
The visuals are far from top-notch but are crisp and clear. The soundtrack fits the theme perfectly. Taking everything under consideration, I rate Big Shots 8.3.
