Trigger Happy Slot Review

In the early days of dating, my lady and I took a drive down the coast for a little fun in the sand on some obscure, out-of-the way beach 🏖️that had a castle🏰 on a cliff looking out to sea. I had never been there before, so she took the wheel🚗.

We were on a highway with the windows down, cruising along, until a cop suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind us, blue lights flashing🚔. So my wife pulled over, but I could tell she was ready for a fight.

The cop got to the window and told her she was speeding. She looked him dead in the eyes and said, “How do you know? Where is your radar gun?”

The cop, clearly unprepared for questioning, stammered😶.

He then claimed he could tell she was speeding just by seeing👀 her drive past him. She looked in her side rearview mirror and challenged him, saying, "Look, see that car coming behind us; how fast is it going exactly?"

At this point😓, I thought she was going to be arrested😬.

The cop looked back, looked at my girl, looked back at the car, looked back at her, and, defeated, said she could just go.

That police officer made a hasty decision, mistakenly believing he could fulfill his speeding ticket obligation. But my lady stumped him. It’s also why I never bother arguing with her😁.

Speaking of jumping guns, check out Evolution's Trigger Happy slot.

Gameplay

Trigger Happy slot attempts to recreate the nostalgic days of visiting an arcade and playing one of those virtual shooter games. You know the ones with the pink and blue pistols that used lasers to shoot enemies on screen? Even the background looks like an old arcade.

You don’t have to have impeccable aim for this game, though. The game takes place on a 5x5 grid, featuring a separate reel to the left and a horizontal reel spinning from right to left beneath the standard reels. These 2 Bonus Reels are how you trigger the Reel Modifiers.

Every spin or symbol drop causes a target to move around the 5 reels, settle on one of the fuzzy monster symbols, and transform it into a Wild symbol. The Wild is another furry monster, but with horns and rainbow fur that substitutes for all symbols.

This is a cluster pay game, so you need 5 or more matching symbols to land vertically, horizontally, or diagonally adjacent to create a win.

The betting range is quite narrow, starting at $0.20 and only going up to $5. But there is an incredibly high multiplier, 50,000x, which can win you the prize limit of $250,000.

The 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. is 96.58%, and this game is rated as having very high volatility. All currencies are welcome, except the Australian dollar and the king of meme coins, Dogecoin.

Features

REEL MODIFIERS

On every spin and symbol drop, the 2 Bonus reels spin and reveal Multipliers, Bombs, and Trigger Coins.

When Multipliers (2x or 3x) in either Bonus Reel align with a target, the Wild symbol on the grid receives the multiplier value. If a Multiplier on both Bonus reels aligns with the target, then the multipliers are added together.

If a Bomb symbol appears, it removes all the symbols on the row or reel it lines up with and randomly adds up to 4 Wilds symbols to that reel or row.

When a Trigger Coin on both Bonus Reels aligns with the target, you’re awarded 8 Free Spins.

FREE SPINS

Free Spins are played on the same set of reels, but there are now two targets that place Wild symbols in different positions. The possible Multipliers have also increased to 4x and 5x.

If two Trigger Coins appear on both Bonus Reels and align with either target, you will receive 3 additional Free Spins.

BUY BONUS

You can trigger a round of Free Spins for 100x your total bet.

WIN EXCHANGE

Whenever you win 100x your bet, the game gives you the option to exchange your win for 8 Free Spins.

And whenever you win 25x to 100x your bet, you can choose to gamble your winnings for 8 Free Spins. You’ll have to spin a wheel with alternating green and red segments. The green segments grant Free Spins, and the red segments award nothing.

Performance

Unfortunately, I got a timeout error at the end of my Free Spins because I sat back to watch the action and didn't press or tap anything. Otherwise there were no issues.

Maximum Win

These are some great numbers, folks. You can win $250,000 for $5 per spin if you land the game’s top multiplier of 50,000x your bet. The betting range starts at $0.20, and there are plenty of betting options above that.

Conclusion

I really liked playing this slot. It's bright and colorful, and the animated symbols are funny. It feels like a unique game, even if it isn’t.

Although the Bonus Reels are not new, the target mechanic makes them feel new and exciting.

Triggering Free Spins takes a long time in a very high-volatility game, so you'll have to watch your balance closely to avoid getting swept away by all the flashing lights and cute monster symbols.

The Buy Bonus is rather expensive, and making back your money plus profit is risky. Having said that, I don't think the Win Exchange is worth it.

It takes some luck to win 100x or even 25x your bet, and the risk of potentially winning bigger during Free Spins is not worth considering.

Despite all I’ve just said, the game is seriously fun. And I can see it being a real win for Big Time Gaming, I’m just not sure how many winning players it will produce.
