How to Play the Balloonies Slot
Once you’ve got the Balloonies slot loaded, all you’ve got to do is choose a line bet value. The options for this range from X to X. The value you choose is multiplied by 20 (the number of paylines the slot has) to get your total bet value per spin. You’re able to bet with between X and X for every spin. Hit the large orange balloon beneath the central reel to play. Hit the smaller button with two arrows surrounding a plus sign to turn on the slot’s autoplay feature. This spins the reels automatically a set number of times for you. Before the spins start, you get to set up some limits so you don’t end up blowing through your balance. The slot has quite a low volatility, so as you play you can expect fairly regular payouts of a smaller size.
Balloonies Slot Features
- Balloon Animals Theme. The slot’s themed after balloon animals, with several of them appearing as symbols on the slot’s reels. The reels are transparent and the backdrop is the bright blue sky with a few wispy white clouds floating about. Most of the slot’s controls and displays, such as your balance, line bet value, and total bet, are presented on clouds.
- 20 Paylines. There are 20 paylines in total that you’re able to form winning combinations on. As usual, they run from left to right. Landing three of the same symbol on a payline gives you a win so long as the symbols are on adjacent reels and the first one is on the far left reel.
- Symbols. Most of the slot’s symbols are designed to look like balloons in different shapes. There are seven standard symbols altogether: three of them are card ranks (A, K and Q), while four are balloon animals (a giraffe, an elephant, a monkey and what looks to be a blue alien of some sort. The alien is the most rewarding standard symbol, giving you a payout worth 1,000x your line bet value for five on a payline.
- Bonus Symbols. The three bonus symbols are the hedgehog wild, which substitutes for all standard symbols, the red balloon bonus symbol, and the yellow star bonus symbol. Landing three red balloons gives you a payout worth 2x your total bet; each yellow star gives you a payout worth 2x your line bet.
- Floating Reels. Unlike most online slots, the reels don’t spin. Instead, whenever you ‘spin’, the symbols currently on the reels float up and away, and new symbols float up from beneath the grid. Whenever you win, all winning symbols burst and the empty gaps they leave behind are filled by symbols floating up from below. This feature lets you win more than once from a single ‘spin’. There’s no upper limit to how many consecutive wins you can land.
Balloonies Bonus Features
- Star Multiplier. Whenever you land a yellow star symbol, as well as giving you a payout worth x2 your line bet, you receive an x2, x3 or x5 multiplier for your next win. If two stars appear on the same ‘spin’, the value of the multipliers is added, so you could end up earning an x10 multiplier for your next win.
- Free Spins. To trigger the slot’s free spins feature, you need to have three red balloon bonus symbols land anywhere on the grid. Pop one of three balloons to receive a number of free spins to use - you can be awarded up to 12 in total.
