Showcase Slot Machine
If you’re a fan of a, good cheesy tv quiz show, you’re going to absolutely love this slot from Arrow’s Edge. This could be a theme we haven’t seen before and we can tell you that’s a rare thing!
Of the hundreds of slot games out there, finding an original theme is a tricky thing for game developers to do but we think they might actually have managed here,bar a couple of specifically branded competitors. This is just the sort of fun, snazzy game we’d expect from Arrow’s Edge, with other offerings including Chef Wars, Shopping in the Hills and Drab to Fab.
If you’d like to play on something a bit lighthearted and cheesy for the same stress-free thrills you’d enjoy when watching a real tv quiz show then here’s the slot for you. With 5 reels, 20 paylines and a top prize of 5000 coins, on top of the chance to win a linked jackpot, there’s plenty to play for here.
Fingers on Buzzers
If there’s one thing you expect from a tv quiz show, it’s a brightly coloured snazzy looking set, and Showcase does not disappoint. A combination of bright blues, pinks and yellows this is every inch the classic quiz show set captured in the design.
The other thing you’d anticipate is a grey haired chap in a suit, playing the role of presenter and quiz master. Again, Showcase doesn’t disappoint with a fellow in a blue suit, holding a microphone. The symbols here are our presenter, quiz show contestants, the regular symbols and a suitcase, a car and a house which represent typical major quiz show prizes. You can tell this is a Saturday night prime time quiz show, not a daytime budget one! This is classic quiz show territory.
We are a little confused by the music, which sounds more like something from a children’s TV show, but otherwise decent execution of the quiz show theme.
The Technical Stuff
This is a 5 reel, 20 payline game, with a minimum line bet of 0.01 and a maximum of 12.00, or 240.00 if using all the paylines. The maximum prize here is 5000 coins and you could also be in with the chance of winning the linked progressive jackpot. The Wild symbol here is one of the contestants you can choose to play with, Tim, who offers a 2x multiplier and the Scatter is Carol, the other contestant.
When opening the game you’re asked to select which contestant to play with, but don’t worry this doesn’t have any bearing on the game or the prizes. The Tim Wild symbol is also the one which can award the top prize when landed on all 5 reels. Three of the Carol Scatter symbols will award players with 15 free spins when landed anywhere on the reels and the spins will each be given a 3x multiplier on payouts.
The bonus game is triggered when bonus wheel symbols are landed on reels 2 and 5 of an active payline. For full details of the prizes associated with each symbol see the pay table below.
Wheel of Fortune
The bonus features here are a mini bonus wheel game, just like a real quiz show and a Free Spins round triggered by the Carol Scatter symbol; landing 3 on any of the reels will trigger this feature. The Bonus Wheel game is a little more tricky to activate, you must land the bonus wheel symbol on reels 2 and 5 of any active payline.
If you do get lucky enough to play, then you’ll be able to spin the wheel and be offered a cash prize. You even have the choice to reject your first cash prize and spin again for the chance of a bigger win. Totally game show. For extra cash, if your bonus wheel symbols appeared on separate paylines then your final prize is multiplied by the number of paylines.
If you get your 3 Carol Scatter symbols then the free spins feature awards you 15 free spins, which includes your payout being tripled. Two very nice added features, just as you’d expect from a real quiz show.
Sit in the Hot Seat and See What You Can Win
We love the cheesy game show theme of this slot from Arrow’s Edge, which along with some great bonus and free spin features offers a fun, lighthearted play experience from 0.01 to 12.00 per line bet and the chance of winning not only 5,000 coins, but also a progressive jackpot to boot. We can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t enjoy a spin on this fun filled game.
