Sometimes you come across an online slot machine at one of your favourite casinos and there’s really nothing to dislike about the concept; Hells Grannies is one such game and it’s from the capable development studios of Microgaming. How can anyone not appreciate the idea of old age pensioners in some sort of Hells Angels motorcycle gang? Read on to find out if the game is as good as the concept.
This five reel and twenty five payline slot tells the story of three mean-looking elderly ladies who are all part of the Hells Grannies motorcycle gang; the reels are set inside some sort of garage and the three OAPs are the main symbols. Additional symbols are are the tattooed knuckles of one of the gang members plus 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.
Special symbols are a ‘Knit Fast Die Warm’ wild and a Hells Grannies logo scatter which activates the bonus feature.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
There’s only one bonus feature in this game and it’s a free spins round with a couple of different layers. You will need to land three or more of the Hells Grannies scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger it and the first part to play is the Spin It T0 Win Feature.
This is the starting point of the feature and you’ll be presented with a big wheel to spin; the wheel contains a number of options which are combinations of numbers of free spins and multipliers as follows:
- 5 spins with 2x multiplier
- 10 spins with 3x multiplier
- 15 spins with 3x multiplier
- 20 spins with 3x multiplier
- 20 spins with 5x multiplier
When the wheel stops you will know how many of each you’ve won and the free spins will begin. More spins can be won from within this bonus round.
Verdict
It’s a brilliant concept for a game and although we might like a bit more variety in the way of bonus features it’s good fun to play too. Turn the sound on and you’ll also be rewarded with a heavy metal soundtrack to accompany your gameplay.
