The Big Lebowski Introduction
Developed by 888 Games, the eponymous cult film from acclaimed directors the Coen Brothers is brought to life in The Big Lebowski. This game really stands out among the thousands of other free online pokies on offer - it’s packed with innovative features and video clips from the film, alongside progressive jackpots, bonus mini-games and huge payouts.
So come and join The Dude, Walter, Donny and all of your other favourite characters in The Big Lebowksi! Theme As the name suggests, this game is based around the Coen Brothers’ cult film of the same name. The spinning takes place in The Dude’s favourite hang-out - a bowling alley - and both he and Walter sit behind the wheels to offer encouragement and witty lines from the film.
The reels themselves take the form of a bowling computer, and the symbols feature icons and characters from the film. The reel-spinning action is backed up with an Americana soundtrack fit for any of The Dude’s adventures.
Set-up and Play
The Big Lebowski features 25 fixed paylines across five reels and three rows. Your bet per line can be set from as little as $0.01, all the way up to $10.00, giving you a huge potential maximum bet per spin of $250! As with many of these games, The Big Lebowski sports an autospin feature for players who would rather let the computer do the work - simply set your desired bet, click on the number of spins you’d like to automate, then sit back and watch the action unfold!
There’s also an innovative feature - in a continuation of the bowling theme, players are awarded an automatic free spin if you get a ‘spare’ and don’t win anything the first time around. We’re sure fans will agree that this is a very welcome and generous new feature!
Symbols
The lower valued symbols are the traditional playing card symbols, from 10 to Ace, only here they’re etched into bowling balls. Five 10s are worth 50x your line stake, whereas five Aces pay out 150x your bet per line - not bad! The five character symbols are where the real money lies, however. In ascending order, there’s Maude, Donny, Walter, Jesus and The Dude himself.
Five Dudes on an active payline nets you a cool 1000x your line wager! And with every winning spin, the character symbols come to life to congratulate you with a hilarious quote from the film.
Wilds and Scatters
The wild symbol, The Dude’s iconic ancient yellow car, substitutes for all other regular symbols. If you land a wild on the third reel, it’ll expand, bursting into a ball of flames which fills the entire reel and helps you create more winning combos. ‘Good Night, Sweet Prince’ Bonus In a nod to the film, the bonus symbol is the coffee tin filled with Donny’s ashes.
Land this symbol on reels one and five and you’ll trigger the bonus feature. You’ll be presented with five items - pick the right one and you could win an instant cash prize of up to 10x your stake!
