Bubble Craze from the developers at IGT, is an innovative slot-style offering that taps into the current trend for puzzle games such as Candy Crush. Similarly compulsive, easy to play, and with the added bonus of money to be won, Bubble Craze is definitely worth a look. It also contains plenty of arcade slot features to keep die-hard reel fans happy.
Games
Essentially a novelty slot, Bubble Craze cleverly delivers arcade fun in the form of a Smartphone-style puzzle game. The basic aim is to ‘spin’ 4+ bubbles of the same colour in a group to win a cash prize. Each play releases bubbles to drift up into position from the bottom of the screen. Prizes vary depending on the colour of the bubble group you create – 4x browns win you 10x your stake; the holy grail of 19x silvers will net you 10,000x your stake.Although the design differs from standard reels, Bubble Craze effectively offers 9 reels and 50 paylines. Players can bet from 1p up to 50p per payline – a max bet of £25 per spin. This slot is fairly low risk as wins are regular.
Design
The game is played on a hexagonal grid that is home to 19 bubbles and is optimised for vertical play. Bright and colourful, the grid is nicely contrasted against a dark backdrop of faint floating bubbles. Info-boxes are minimal and provide all essential data on your bets, while leaving the screen uncluttered and pleasing on the eye. Dreamy aquatic music and soft bubble popping sounds provide a soothing atmosphere.
