Why, if you’ve never heard of Final Countdown you are most likely living under a rock or born to a generation that should definitely not be gambling!
The game is constructed around this Europe hit, though of course, the theme is mostly from the imagination of the developers. The first impression is definitely a good one, and the features and reels look both interesting and intriguing.
But…
…does this Big Time Gaming slot deliver a good gaming experience? Read below to find out.
Theme
The music is something you don’t want to miss. It’s right in there with all those NetEnt music slots. As a matter of fact, it is even better. Besides this, the sci-fi themed slot is superb quality, and even though not fully animated the background has enough action to bring another level of immersion in the slot.
The only thing that could have used a bit more attention is the symbols, but perhaps that is just because I am a bit tired of seeing the playing card ranks still being used.
Betting Options and Functions
The game comes with six times four grid of symbols. There are ten basic symbols, of which four are considered high-paying. This slot uses the adjacent pay system, which means that together with the increased reels and symbols you have 4096 ways to win on each spin. Possible bets run from 0.20 to 20 coins per spin.
The RTP is above 96%, which is always good news. As you can expect from a game with so many ways to win the volatility is a bit high and the wins, in general, are quite low. The low end starts from 0.1 times your stake and goes all the way into 25 times your stake for a six-symbol combination. Special features bring forth the big win,
Features
Each spin in this Big Time Gaming release has a random chance to clone between two and four individual reels, namely reels two through five. As you can imagine, this adds a whole new level of big wins when the luck is on your side.
Both scatters and wilds can be cloned in the way mentioned above. However, when wilds are on the screen not only are they cloned, but they end up covering the whole reel.
Not only this:
But they are added as extra symbols, meaning that you can get up to 256 wilds on the screen in the form of a super-big symbol.
Three scatters launch the bonus games, and you get to choose between two options here: The Countdown and Heading for Venus bonus games. The countdown awards eight bonus games, and naturally comes with the countdown feature. Each scatter reduces the countdown, and once it reaches zero the feature is re-triggered!
The re-trigger also grows the roaming wild that might end up filling the whole reel. The Venus bonus games come with automatic reel clones, which likewise add extra wilds and multipliers on the reels
Our Take
When you are scoring 20 times your stake in 4096 different ways to win the wins end up growing quite big, even if the starting point is a bit disappointing. This is a slot that you don’t want to miss, for any reason. Just try it in demo mode and you’ll end up choosing one of our suggested casinos to play in no time.
