Fizzy Pennyslot is the next game in Big Time Gaming’s lineup. It’s scheduled to be released across most BTG-subscribed online casinos no later than the 26th of June. We have given it our best shot already, in a demo, and we can tell you it’s unlike anything Nik Robinson and his team have published so far. While it may put off some of their fans, we actually really enjoyed it. So let’s show you the way it plays and what you need to pay attention to.
Unique Betting Structure
Fizzy Pennyslot is being released after Big Time Gaming’s newest slot, Trigger Happy, which came out yesterday. Although the latter is a cluster pays slot they have a common feature in the form of a bonus reel, which we’ll get to in a bit. Before that, we need to address a couple of important facts.
Firstly, Fizzy Pennyslot, as the name suggests, is to our knowledge, the first BTG slot that can be played with a penny (0.01 credits). Usually, it’s 0.20 credits per spin across most of their games.
Secondly, the Fizzy slot has only 4 pay-lines. This is not a typo, there are four win-lines that go across four rows and four reels. Technically, there are five reels, but the last one’s special. Not only that, but the only way to win is to hit a 4-of-a-kind. There are 8 different symbols, including Wild, which is also the highest-paying. For four of those in a straight line, you’ll win 10x your bet. Unless you also strike a multiplier on that special fifth reel!
Bonus Reel Mechanics
Special extra reels are in BTG’s DNA and Fizzy Pennyslot is not an exception. It contains only win multipliers and Trigger Coins (see below), which go as high as x200 in the base game, and x500 in the bonus. The feature is self-explanatory: if you trigger a winning line and get a multiplier at the end of it, the prize will be magnified accordingly.
Free Spins Feature
To trigger a Free Spins bonus naturally, you only need one Trigger Coin anywhere on reel 5. You’ll win 6 Free Spins, where every spin will remove the lowest Bonus Reel multiplier. Additional Trigger Coins award +1 freebie and the maximum multiplier in this main Fizzy Pennyslot bonus is x500. The maximum win potential is 10,170x the bet, which is of the lowest in the studio's mix, but one that's highly likely to be triggered way more often.
Bonus Buy Option
The quicker way of getting into the best part of the fizzy slot is to buy the bonus for 65x your bet. Yes, sixty five times and not 100x like with Fire Works Megaways or the vast majority of their games.
Win Exchange Feature
Win Exchange is another recurring feature in BTG slots. It lets you gamble a win that’s 20x or above for a chance to win the Free Spins bonus. For instance, if you win 30x and decide to gamble, you’ll see a wheel of fortune with roughly 50:50 chances of winning the feature.
Conclusion
This outlier of a slot addresses many wishes that have come from players for whom BTG slots have been out of reach, so to speak, mainly in terms of volatility. This rare release answers the prayers by adjusting to a gameplay flow suitable to a broader group of players, while ticking the right boxes when it comes to making it replayable—think frequent bonuses, many wilds and regular free spin triggers. That said, Fizzy Pennyslot is one of the best slots to take on if you’re new to BTG’s smashing library.
