Bling Bling Penguin Slot Review
Lady Gaga has been on PETA’s (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) hit list for quite some time.
She pissed them off in 2010 by wearing a meat dress to the MTV Video Music Awards. 😱 Then, in 2012, the singer adorned herself with a fox head scarf when she went to Cologne, Germany.
In 2014 Lady Gaga posted pictures of her French Bulldog, Asia, looking disconsolate and miserable after the eccentric weirdo draped jewelry – in the form of a headpiece and earnings – on the critter.
Some animals like a bit of the shiny stuff, though; just ask the hero of our next game, Bling Bling Penguin slot from Quickfire. 🐧
Gameplay
Who knew you could find such cool characters under the sea? We have gold-chain-wearing squid and fish, goofy-looking fish wearing bandanas, and deep-sea lanternfish as our high-paying symbols.
The Bonus symbol is what you’ll need to trigger the Link&Win feature and it's fashioned in the form of a gold Coin. The Multiplier Upgrade symbol can increase all Bonus symbols’ cash values by up to 10x.
The Jackpot Upgrade symbol is a purple arrow pointing upwards. When it lands, it will push the value of all Jackpots up by one tier. Multiplier Upgrade and Jackpot Upgrade symbols don’t stick to the reels.
The Free Spin symbol is our Penguin homie.
The 5x4-reel grid is small on a desktop device and you’ll notice a Bonus Wheel spinning behind it. To the left of the reels are the static Jackpots which are adjusted based on your bet – which could be from €0.20 to €10.
To the right of the reels is the Buy Bonus but I’ll dig into the details of all the things I’ve mentioned in the Features section below.
Bling Bling Penguin slot looks pretty sweet in portrait mode on a mobile phone but not so much in landscape mode. The Jackpots are distributed above the Bonus Wheel and the grid almost stretches from one side of the screen to the other.
And now it’s stats-o’-clock. Check it out:
- PaylinesPaylines are preset lines that run across the reels, and when you land matching symbols on them, that will result in a payout. The more paylines, the more ways you can win, but also the higher your bet per spin.: Up to 1,024 ways to win
-

- Max Win: €135,000
- Volatility rate: High
- Accepted currency: Fiat only but no Japanese yen
- Hit rate: 31.34%
Features
LINK&WIN:
Six gold Coins or more will trigger this feature. You’ll only see gold Coins or blank positions during the round and the triggering symbols will become sticky.
You’ll get 3 re-spins initially but you can reset the counter each time you land an additional gold Coin (which will also stick to the reels). Symbols can also nudge down to fill a position.
You’ll be paid out the cash value of all the landed Bonus symbols at the end of the round. If you manage to get a Bonus symbol on all of the empty spots, that’s when you’ll be awarded the max multiplier of 13,500x.
As for the value of the Jackpots, it works out like this:
- Mini Jackpot = 50x
- Minor Jackpot = 100x
- Major Jackpot = 250x
- Grand Jackpot = 1,000x
- Epic Jackpot = 5,000x
Land 3 or more Free Spin Penguins on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger this round. You’ll be whisked away to a screen where our gold-bedecked Penguin is standing on a slippery piece of ice with flags planted behind him.
Each flag represents 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 spins. The Penguin slides down the slope and wherever he lands up is how many spins you’ll start the feature with.
If you’re unhappy with the number of spins you end up with, you can hit the GAMBLE button to try again, but you run the risk of ending up with fewer spins or even no spins at all. You can Gamble multiple times, by the way. Or you can play it safe and take what you’ve been given.
It’s also possible to re-trigger the Free Spins round by landing additional FS Penguins. If you trigger the Link&Win feature during the Free Spins round, you’ll play that feature and then come back to complete the spins you have left.
BONUS WHEEL:
Each landed Bonus symbol increases where you’re at on the Progress Bar – and this includes those that land during the Link&Win feature. Once you reach the furthest position to the right, this will initiate the Bonus Wheel.
The Bonus Wheel can award Jackpots, instant cash prizes, or Free Spins.
BUY BONUS:
You can pay 55.02x to enter the Free Spins round, or 33.24x to get to the Bonus Wheel. Weird that they haven’t rounded off the numbers…
Performance
Quickfire uses HTML5 technology, so their games play on all devices and browsers. And I can attest to the fact that there were no glitches or loading snafus while I was giving Bling Bling Penguin slot the old shakedown.
Maximum Win
A highly volatile game usually offers around €200 to €250k but unfortunately, Bling Bling Penguin slot has a top prize of just €135,000. 😭
The largest multiplier you can hope to clinch is 13,500x and the betting ranges from €0.20 to €10.
Conclusion
I thoroughly enjoyed playing Bling Bling Penguin slot on all my devices. It looks amazeballs and the animations take it over the top. I’m also a big fan of the Free Spins, Jackpots, Buy Bonus, Link&Win, and Bonus Wheel combo.
And the Buy Bonus fees are super low compared with most games. Paying 55.02x for access to the Free Spins round where you can gamble and possibly score up to 30 spins is a no-brainer. And triggering the Bonus Wheel for 33.24x is cheap as chips!
The only letdown is the max win because it’s low for the volatility rate but at least the max multiplier is generous so you can still make bank with this game.
