Iggy Racing Slot Review

Some of us are built for strength, some of us are built for speed. Personally, I’m built for rotting on the couch day in and day out, but that’s a discussion for another time.

It’s a similar situation with animals. Take the humble Italian Greyhound for example: they’re extremely thin, with long spindly legs, and a tendency towards pissing themselves at the first sign of confrontation – of course they should compete in dog racing events!

And since game providers have largely exhausted every possible thematic avenue, it only makes sense that they’ve decided to branch out into new territory – starting with Iggy Racing slot from Onlyplay.

Gameplay

I think everyone is probably familiar with the sound of little dog claws clickety-clacking over hardwood floors – it’s quite grating – and exceedingly similar (at least in experience) to the sound effects present in this game.

I hit the mute button immediately, which is my general preference, and then I was good to go. Iggy Racing slot has super colorful graphics, with various Italian Greyhounds populating the reels (alongside other, more familiar, symbols such as royal values).

The game is great on a mobile phone, specifically in portrait mode. I tested it out on my iPhone 13 and found the controls to be super responsive, and the overall gameplay experience on par with the desktop version.

Unfortunately, Iggy Racing slot isn’t going to win any awards for generosity of spirit. The maximum win clocks in at a low €30,000, which you’ll score if you land the 1,000x multiplier.

The RTP is equally underwhelming, sitting at just 95.32%. And Iggy Racing slot has a medium volatility rate, so average wins, at average intervals – got it?

Features

RANDOM WILDS

Racing dog symbols (you’ll know them when you see them) will run out onto the reels, awarding random Wilds. The Wild pays on any payline.

FREE SPINS

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins round. You can win 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, depending on the number of Scatters that are present on the reels.

During Free Spins, the three central reels will be occupied by a giant Iggy symbol, which locks in place for the duration of the round.

BUY BONUS

Can’t wait for the Free Spins round to trigger on its own? Click the button at the top of the reels to buy it for 65x your bet, and activate the feature immediately.

Performance

I tested Iggy Racing slot out on my mobile phone and desktop, and I was pleased with how it performed. It didn’t time out, even after minutes of inactivity (while I pondered what to write about it), and operated on Google Chrome and Safari with no glitches or buffering issues.

Maximum Win

Oof. I haven’t seen a maximum win this low in a while – €30,000 is pretty grim, especially considering what’s at stake here (the reputation of Italian Greyhound racing on a global scale).

Conclusion

I feel like more could have been done with Iggy Racing slot. It has very basic features, which don’t really add much to the overall game experience, and a low maximum win that simply won’t cut it for most players.

It’s a little disappointing, particularly because I really liked the theme. It’s light-hearted and a little silly, and a nice departure from the usual Ancient Egypt/Fruit slot business.

But if you’re looking for something simple with solid gameplay, this slot could work for you.
