Description
Medium-variance Bingo Billions from operator NextGen is a video slot with 25 Paylines offering free spins, Wilds and Scatters, in a five-reel, three-row format. And, as the name suggests, it takes a bingo theme.
Expect a fairly basic, if clean, design, with the reels floating against a background of twinkling stars on a spot-lit stage. Meanwhile, the game’s buttons become bingo balls, so you’ll be feeling in the mood to play when the callers shout “Eyes down!”
How to play
Adjust your bets before spinning the reels. Choose how many Paylines you want to play, from 1 to 25, hitting Max Lines if you want to select all of them. Coin arrows can be used to alter coin size, from 0.01 to 2. (And these low stakes mean slot players of all budgets and styles are catered for.)
You’ll also find the standard Max Bet, Spin and Autoplay controls here. The maximum bet is 50 coins per spin.
Just match up between three and five of the bingo-themed symbols for a win, including balls, bingo cards, gold bars and bundles of cash; for the latter, you’ll get 1,500 coins if you find five on an active Payline.
Six numbered bingo balls – bearing numbers between 16 and 88 – are the lower-paying icons.
Special features
Special symbols
The Winner icon serves as the Wild card, while the game logo is the Scatter icon. Land five Wilds on an active Payline to bag a jackpot of 5,000 coins. As ever, the Wild replaces all icons bar the Scatter.
Bonus games
Free spins
This is the main (and indeed only) event when it comes to Bingo Billions bonus features, and you’ll need to land at least three Scatters to launch it. Bag three of the logo icons to enjoy 10 free whirls, four to get 15 freebies and five to play 20. During this round, a multiplier trebles all wins. What’s more, you can trigger more free spins in this feature if you land more of the Scatters while playing it.
Gamble feature
Following any win, you can click on Gamble in a bid to boost your winnings. Hit the ‘Hearts/Clubs’ button below the reels to play a card game. Guess the right colour of the next card to double the sum you’ve won. Get the suit right and you’ll quadruple your winnings.
However, get it wrong and the feature ends. The ‘Take Win’ option allows you to save the amount won. You’ll only be able to enjoy five correct wins – and, be warned, this is a game for those with a high tolerance of risk!
Return to Player (RTP)
The RTP or Return to Player with Bingo Billions is 95.04%, so it’s fairly standard, or perhaps slightly below average, for a slot game.
Verdict
Give Bingo Billions a go for free before playing for real money in any NextGen casino. This is certainly a smooth game to play, with some crisp graphics, and it also supplies a lot of energy and fun. You’ll also enjoy its take on bingo if you’re a fan of the game. However, it may be a little basic for some tastes.
