Online pokies are looking more and more like social and arcade games. Over the course of the past year, we have seen plenty of new titles that have been designed to look nothing like your average poker machine. IGT’s latest game, Bubble Craze, is certainly in line with this trend and offers up a completely new gaming experience.
Bubble Craze features a set of 19 bubbles of various colours in the shape of a pentagon. When you hit the ‘spin’ button, the bubbles pop and new bubbles appear. Players accumulate wins when four or more bubbles of the game colour appear together. The more bubbles in the group, the bigger the prize. If you are lucky enough to have 19 silver bubbles in a spin, you win a 10 000-coin prize.
19 red bubbles award 5000 coins while the top prize for the remaining colours ranges from 1000 coins to 2000 coins. There are several special feature bubbles that help to boost your winnings. Transform bubbles turn all of the bubbles around it into the same colour while multiplier bubbles offer up a 2x or 5x multiplier whenever they are involved in a winning combination.
Players can also trigger free spins with bonus bubbles. As each of these symbols appear in the game, a small message pops up to let you know exactly what their purpose is. There are plenty of arcade game slots out there, but none that are laid out like this – and, we are very intrigued by the format. We hope that IGT starts a new trend for online pokies with the release of Bubble Craze.
It is a certainly a fun new game with an interesting format that will entertain for hours.
