Oink Oink Oink Pinatas: What Will the Special Pig Pinatas Reveal?

Oink Oink Oink Pinatas is an online slot from Rare Stone with a Mexican theme. Its focus is three pinatas that are in the shape of pigs, each of which is a different color and can trigger a different bonus.

The slot looks good enough and is themed quite well, though its soundtrack could be a bit more upbeat to tie it in with the theme better.

Having said that, I still enjoyed playing Oink Oink Oink Pinatas and thought it was a decent slot. I liked the fact that the all-ways-win system was used, giving the 5x3 grid a total of 243 ways to win on every spin.

During the base game, I won once in a while, though my wins weren’t particularly big. I thought I would have landed a few big payouts, especially since there were so many ways to win and there was a wild involved.

Landing at least three golden hammer symbols triggered one of the pinata pig effects at random. There was one spin where I landed four hammers, and as well as winning 10x, I got to play the green pig’s bonus, which was a free spins round.

It started with a random number of spins and four or five rows. I earned eight spins with four rows and 1,024 ways to win. In the end, I won 19x my bet, which wasn’t too bad.

The other two bonuses were a pick-me game with four jackpot prizes to be won, and a wheel that awarded cash prizes or one of the other two bonuses. I didn’t get to experience either of these during my playthrough, but triggering just one was enough.

Would I recommend playing Oink Oink Oink Pinatas? Yes, I’d suggest giving the slot a go. It’s nicely presented and has a diverse selection of bonus features. The only thing to bear in mind is that those large payouts can be hard to come by, even with more rows in the free spins round.

PROS

• 243 ways to win
• Free spins with more ways to win
• Pick-me game with jackpot prizes

CONS

• Hard to land big wins

Ocean Frenzy: Dive Deep and Discover This Slot's Potentially Rewarding Free Spins Round

When I started playing Ocean Frenzy, in all honesty I wasn’t expecting much. There are loads of online slots themed to fishing and the ocean, but this one didn’t strike me as particularly well-themed. This was purely because it looked quite plain compared to similar slots, thanks to its static background image that showed some water and its straightforward symbol design.

Having said that, the design wasn’t exactly off-putting so I was happy to play the slot and see what it was like. During the base game, I landed a few wins here and there, but nothing spectacular. It was the free spins round that proved to be the most lucrative part of the slot for me.

Believe it or not, I won a massive 214x my bet. This mostly came from two huge wins: a spin where two fishermen appeared and collected prizes worth 54x each, for a total of 108x; then there was Trawler Spins at the end where I won 105x. To explain, all fish symbol values that weren’t collected by fishermen were added to random reels. After free spins, the reels were emptied and then spun one at a time. The first to land a trawler symbol paid the fish symbol values it had.

I was obviously very lucky to win two such huge prizes from the free spins round. Even just one of them would have helped me make a profit. If you decide to give this slot a spin, which I think you should, hopefully the feature will be just as rewarding for you as it was for me!

PROS

• Free spins can be very rewarding
• Extra chance to earn cash prizes after free spins

CONS

• None

81 Joker Hot Reels: Offers Multiplier Wilds That Can Boost Payouts

Lots of providers create slots that are inspired by classic games. They tend to have few special features, if any, and offer simple, uncomplicated gameplay. Playtech’s 81 Joker Hot Reels is a great example. It’s a straightforward slot whose theme mixes classic slot symbols with a fiery background.

While lots of classic slots have a 3x3 grid with a small number of paylines, 81 Joker Hot Reels bucks the trend by using a 4x3 grid with all paylines active. This means that it has 81 ways to win on all spins, hence its name.

When playing 81 Joker Hot Reels, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it too much since it didn’t have any bonus rounds; there were no free spins, respin or pick-me features. In other words, it was just the base game. What was good was that the wild applied a 2x multiplier to wins it helped to create. With four symbols in a row, it was possible to win with three wilds on a payline. In this case, their multipliers would multiply together, boosting any wins by 8x. This didn’t happen, though I did have a few wins where there was a single multiplier that doubled my payout.

Speaking of wins, I managed to score a few payouts during my playthrough of 81 Joker Hot Reels. Most of them were fairly small, though there were a few decent ones of 12x and 10x. Overall, while there were some things about the slot that I liked, I thought it could have benefitted from even just one bonus round of some kind. It might satisfy those who prefer more casual slots.

PROS

• All 81 paylines active
• Wild doubles all wins it helps to create
• Up to three wilds can multiply together

CONS

• No bonus rounds
• Repetitive gameplay
