Balloonies Introduction
Balloonies offers hours of fun with its quirky balloon animals, great bonuses and light, entertaining graphics. It's an online free pokies game made by IGT and is definitely as much fun as it looks! Unlike some games which can seem a little flat and uninspiring, Balloonies offers a 3D feel with its characters and symbols (elephants, giraffes, balloon monkeys and high card letters) rising from the bottom of your screen before disappearing off into the blue sky above.
And, if that wasn't enough when appearing in one of the 15 lines, these icons burst and are replaced with more, giving you the free chance to win. It's almost like tumbling reels, but backwards, and with a lot more fun, long-lasting entertainment.
The characters
Meet Mia the monkey; she helps you to win those must-have prices and is helped along the way by Ernie the Elephant. Then we have the baby giraffe, Gerry. He'll help you to get head and shoulders above the rest! And finally, Henry the Hedgehog, who isn't as cute as he may seem and you'll have to watch out for his prickles around those balloons!
Free spins
In this game, you can achieve good wins in one of two ways. Firstly, you have free spins. You'll get to choose from one of three balloons that you can pop, and depending which one you choose you could get around 6 to 8 free spins, or, if you're really lucky, you might get 12. Secondly, in these free spin games, you'll find some multipliers and these are the key to big win success.
The multipliers
These can happen at any given time, so always be prepared for them as they'll appear during your free spins, or at the base of the game. The star symbol - when this appears you'll find a random multiplier is given - 2x, 3x or 5x and this will be applied on your next go. If you get three of these stars, these multiples will then multiply one another, giving you the potential for a 30x multiplier.
You'll have to cross your fingers that one of the Balloonies animals lines up right for you because when incorporated into a 5 line win, you could hit the jackpot. Floating reels - when the symbols win, they'll explode and move upwards before being replaced by ones from below, giving you another go at a free win.
Pop me - If you get three balloons on your reels, you'll get a chance to click one of them, which will then pop that balloon to provide you with 6, 8 or 12 free spins.
Hours of fun
You may not have thought that balloon animals could have provided you with this much entertainment, but Balloonies will definitely do that. It's available on your computer and mobile device too, so you can play it wherever you go, providing you with a wildly entertaining game with lots of thrills. It's really easy to play and the tumbling feature is undoubtedly the highlight of this game - any game with one of those is not something to be missed.
