Tramp Day TRUEWAYS Slot Review

When I hear “rags-to-riches” stories, I often think about the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, where Will Smith is hustling for a better life with his kid. 🥲 Sure, it’s emotional, but it’s also very inspiring stuff.

But then I remember it’s Will Smith we’re talking about. The guy took the opposite route and went from riches to rags in public opinion the moment he smacked 👊 Chris Rock at the Oscars. I mean, wow did he take a nosedive.

BGAMING just dropped Tramp Day TRUEWAYS slot, which they’re pitching as a rags-to-riches story. No offense, but I hope the game doesn’t get nominated for any awards—I don’t want this guy turning into Prince of Bel-Air 2.0 and going around looking for people to slap. 🫣

Gameplay

Being a homeless person and forced to live on the street is a rough life. I’m clearly rushing to conclusions since I don’t even know if this guy is actually homeless. Just because he’s hanging out in a dark alley with his dog doesn’t necessarily mean I should assume anything.

Walls covered in graffiti, empty bottles on the ground and a small fire burning inside a wooden crate sets the vibe for a stereotypical rough inner-city area. If it wasn’t for the big 6-reel grid, we’d never know it’s a game.

The game uses the TRUEWAYS mechanics, meaning each reel can have between 2 to 8 symbols, resulting in a maximum of 262,144 ways to win.

A lot of the symbols represent items that can be easily found in an area like this. For example, the highest-paying are empty cans, donuts, booze bottles in a paper bag, and rolled up dollar bills.

There’s a man with a thick black beard on the left holding up a sign, offering both the Buy Bonus and Ante Bets. I’ll cover these a little later, but I do need to mention that the graphics look as if they were taken straight out of Clip Art. It’s a real cut-and-paste job.

Sitting above the reels are 3 Jackpots: the Mini pays 20x, the Major pays 100x, and the Mega pays 1,000x.

The game is built on the following stats: a 96.70% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., a very high volatility rate, and a 5,000x max multiplier. BGaming has offered up a $300,000 max win.

Features

FREE SPINS

Landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatters triggers 12, 15, or 20 Free Spins respectively. If you pull off the same feat during Free Spins, the award will be the same and you can scoop up as many as 20 additional spins.

Wild Symbols

The Wild symbol is the bearded guy with a Tramp Night sign, and it substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. You’ll only see it pop up on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. During Free Spins, the Wild carries a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x.

Any multiplier that lands during Free Spins will be added to your total multiplier, and won’t reset between spins.

COIN RE-SPINS

There are Coin symbols in play as well, and landing 6 or more of them triggers the Coin Re-spins feature, which plays just like a Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too).. You’ll start things off with 3 spins and when you land a new symbol, your count will reset.

The symbols in play during this feature are:

• Coins - Possible values are 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, or 100x.

• Mini Jackpot - 20x

• Major Jackpot - 100x

To win the 1,000x Mega Jackpot, you’ll have to fill the entire grid (48 positions).

Jar of Coins

The Jar of Coins symbol can appear in any cell during Coin Re-spins. The cell in which it appears lights up in green before being divided into 2 units:

• Big - Splits into two medium symbols

• Medium - Transforms into 2 small symbols

If the symbol happens to drop inside a small cell, one of the big or medium Jars is randomly selected and divided into two. If the split cell had a Coin in it, the Coin will appear in both new cells.

ANTE BET (CHANCE X2)

If you decide to activate the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature., your chances of triggering a bonus round will double. Keep in mind that your bet size will also be doubled.

BUY BONUS

Clicking on the Buy Bonus will give you two options, both available at 100x your bet. Pay the asking price and the feature will be triggered on your next spin.

• Free Spins
• Coin Re-spins

Performance

The game worked like a charm across multiple devices.

Max Win

The 5,000x max multiplier feels quite solid and if you can land it with a $60 bet, you’ll win the $300,000 max win. Any bets ranging from $0.10 to $60 are accepted.

Conclusion

If we look past the crappy graphics, the game isn’t a bad option. The TRUEWAYS mechanic with up to 262,144 ways delivers a decent base-game hit frequency around 30–35%. As always, most of them are of the smaller kind, as big wins are rare outside of the features.

Free Spins seem to trigger around once in 180–250 spins. However, by activating the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature., you’ll bring that number down to a much better 90–125 spins.

The feature itself isn’t overly exciting, but with the Wild multipliers that keep on stacking without resetting between spins, any wins can ramp up pretty quickly if you get on a roll.

Coin Re-Spins come around even less frequently than Free Spins (roughly 1 in 300–400 spins normally, dropping to 1 in 150–200 with the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature.), but offers the chance to hit those 20x, 100x, or fill the grid for the 1,000x Mega Jackpot.

I like the fact that both features can be bought for 100x your bet—very fair pricing for the potential on offer, especially given the game's 5,000x max multiplier and $300,000 top win.

Overall, Tramp Day TRUEWAYS is trashy in theme but surprisingly solid in mechanics, offering excellent feature variety, and a well-balanced set of Buy Bonus options. If you’re looking for a streetwise slot that doesn’t pull punches on volatility, BGaming has you covered.
