Big Ben is a slot machine game from Aristocrat Leisure that has quite a lot going for it. Not only does it have some bonus features and a gameplay design that can help keep you interested for a long time, but it also has a gamble option which can add a great deal of excitement to the game.
Theme
As the title may suggest, this game has a distinct British feel to it. Big Ben itself is visible in the background, along with cobbled streets and old Victorian lamp posts you would probably associate with things like Sherlock Holmes. The higher value symbols of course have plenty of British connotations, including a red telephone box, the Union Jack, and a gas lamp.This game has five reels and three rows with 20 paylines. The wild symbol is a Beefeater and can be worth an impressive 30,000x the stake on your line. This symbol can also double the wins in which it plays a part. Big Ben also acts as the scatter symbol.
Gamble Bonus
You can gamble your winnings by playing a mini-game where you have to guess the suit of the next card drawn. This has the ability to double or even quadruple your winnings, while also creating the risk of losing what you’ve won.
Big Ben Scatter Bonus
This bonus comes into effect when Big Ben appears on either reel one or reel five. When it does, Big Ben will start to chime. The number of chimes that are heard indicate the size of the multiplier you are given. Big Ben can chime a maximum of 10 times, which is worth a 500x multiplier.
Free Spins
When you have three or more of the Big Ben symbols in view, you will gain free spins. Three symbols gets you 15 free spins, while four symbols gets you 20 free spins and five symbols gets you 25 free spins. All the wins that you get during your free spins are doubled and there is always the chance you will get three or more scatter symbols again.
