The Buzz Introduction
The first thing you notice about this GW Games pokie is the way the title stands out. ‘The Buzz’ is written on a cassette tape followed by words written in the same style as the Sex Pistols album cover. The BuzzSlots is an obvious nod to punk band The Buzzcocks, so the alternative music theme is confirmed.
The reels are set against a brick wall covered in graffiti and the symbols display music genres, mainly from the 1970s. Icons synonymous with punk, ska, mods and anarchy are shown, whilst a guitar riffs in the background music. If the tunes get a bit too much for you, they can easily be muted at the touch of a button.
Gaining admission
Getting started is easy, with the starting buttons located on the right side of the reels. The information button lets you know the importance of each symbol along with the paylines. Underneath is the autoplay button, which enables you to set the reels to spin between 5 and 100 times or until you hit a loss or single win limit. You can choose to change your bet amount, between 0.20 and 400 credits, then click the spin button once you are happy with your selection.
All mod cons
The red, white and blue circle that symbolises the mod era acts as the wild and is the symbol that you want to find on the reels. Not only will it substitute for other symbols but also it helps to trigger the big win features. You may notice some faded wild symbols along the bottom of the reels that will light up when they appear on the reels.
If you find three or more wilds, you will trigger the free spins feature, with the amount you receive depending on how many wilds you have collected. Each time a wild appears, you will gain an extra life. Look out for the show cancelled ticket on reel five, which will end the feature. The Buzz has two other features to keep you entertained. When you win, the reels will lock and trigger the Reel Jam, which will allow big wins.
The vinyl Multiplier Wheel is another feature to increase your winnings, randomly appearing to spin you a multiplier of two, three, five or ten times your prize.
