Billy's Game Slot Review
When I go visit my niece and nephew, I've got one trick up my sleeve that keeps me as the favorite uncle: Ventriloquism. Now I'm terrible at it, but I'm just good enough (and they're young enough) for me to convince them that their dog talks when I come and visit!
They're always giddy with excitement at the prospect of Snoopy (yes I know – lovely, original name) having a long conversation with me about how the kids have been treating him.
The appeal of an animal personified doesn't stop at childhood – we all seem to enjoy entertainment with characters that have animals bodies, but are basically human otherwise (Zootopia is a case in point). Somehow it seems to bridge the gap between them and us, but most of all, it's just damn funny.
Tapping into this appeal is Amatic's video slot Billys Game. While the game is loading, you will be thinking “What the heck kinda animal is Billy?”
Well, I'm not here to answer your question because I'm not a friggin' vet. (Maybe he's a dog? Or a small bear? ) I'm not quite sure – he doesn't seem to urinate in the game, and that leg lifting would definitely pin down his identity as a canine.
Now you've got me sidetracked! Anyway. Billy's Game is designed to let you wonder about his species on P.C, mobile device or tablet. Its got a classic feel to it...initially. After a while though, you realize this is brighter, bolder and glitzier than most traditional based slots though.
Gameplay
Billy's Game is a 3 reel, 27 payline slot which makes it a medium volatility offering. Billy serves as the wild and can replace any of the other symbols, which are: 7's, bell, bar symbols and assorted fruit.
The controls are simple and neat, with your paytable info located above the reels while underneath are: Total Coins, Autostart, Exit, Gamble, Bet and Start.
There are no Turbospin or advanced Autospin options.
Features
Despite being a traditional type slot, having a wild spices things up considerably. There's also a Gamble function after each winning bet in regular play. Here you get to wager your entire profits or half on either a double or nothing bet on card color, or a 4x bet on color and suit.
Unique Features
A nice bonus on payouts is that if you have a win with 9 of the same symbols, that win is doubled!
Performance
All slots are limited in this genre, but they've Billy's Game has been given a little bit of glitz and glamour on winning spins. The sound effects are instantly recognizable as Amatic while the music is fun and upbeat (maybe a bit too techno for me tho). As far as actual performance – Billy's Game glided through all tests impeccably.
Conclusion
I've written before about how there's a market for classic slots with a twist and Billy's Game definitely falls into that category. If you don't want a brain strain trying to understand complicated features and just want to “Spin to Win”, then this slot is one of the best around.
