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.

the final countdown slot personally is not one of the slots i would play somewhere. it does not appeal to me, which it may to some other people. the rtp during my experience was extremely low. i did not get to play any of the features though. if i had my rating may have been higher.

Amazing! Simply the best music game! Sometimes with tears in my eyes I must say goodbye to this game when it's cold as ice and I am afraid to lose my balance but when it's normal or hot so oh,baby... Base game is fun as well but bonus is a cherry on cake :) But it is not easy to hit it. But it pays at least not bad. For...

Base game is fun as well but bonus is a cherry on cake :) But it is not easy to hit it. But it pays at least not bad. For the moment I had better luck with heading for venus bonus but I love cloning reels as well. And of course that song during the bonus game is like another reward with bonus :)

At first look at this game, I was so surprised. I think that nobody would have expected that slot game can be created with such an old hit pop. I loved this song when I was a kid, too.

Who wouldn't like this song. Compared with NetEnt and other software, they are making games with legendary bands or singers, Like Gun N'Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Satan, Annihilator, etc, probably giving much license fees. But, I think that this game should be the most popular among the games themed with musicians for the last 3~5 years. Great game.

One of my favorite slots from BTG even I love almost all of them , but in this slot I love free spins. In free spins you have amazing potential to win huge.

Last week i saw at Twitch where some streamer won 20 000 $ from 5 $ bet. This slot can pay you huge with that big wild with multiplier 256x what you can get in free spins . Imagine if that big wild stays on first reel. I never got that big 256x multiplier wild, but don't stop believe to self.

Well, the soundtrack is awesome. But it won't really start until the bonus is triggered. Otherwise it just repeats, taunting you to keep spinning. High volatility slot with focus on the bonus feats. Regular play won't keep you afloat, as the line wins are too low. Even a bonus round is no guarantee for big wins. But they...

As it's a slot from BTG it has really big potential but overal the base game pay very little and the bonuses also very often pay little. It's a slot that give poor return in exchange of great potential. The music is great for nostalgic people of my age or more.

The Final Countdown or (DHV2 if you like) is a slot inspired by Europes hit single The Final Countdown BTG have designed and astronaut/rocket ship themed game with 4096 ways. You don't need the bonus round as this slot is capable of a massive 256x multiplier in the base game! Should you get the bonus though you have a choice of either countdown spins(greatly reliant on re-triggers) or multiplier spins that increases when you see the multiplier wild on the screen. This game can do huge wins there's just one thing that really irritates me during spinning it does a Queen of Riches style synced spin and it's the main reason I don't play it. Final conclusion: Very good game but also very volatile. It's not as good as Bonanza. Bigdk1888
