Georgie Porgie Slots
The Georgie Porgie video slot is casino developer Microgaming’s unique take on the famous nursery rhyme. Consequently, you can expect to meet dorky Georgie, kissable girls and a whole whole of other characters who – cards on the table – don’t really have a lot to do with the original rhyme. But hey, this is a game, not a faithful adaptation of a beloved Tolstoy novel.
Georgie Porgie is a 5-reel, 15-payline slot whose bets open at a refreshingly affordable 0.01 per pay-line (making this one of the best low limit slots) and goes all the way up to 0.10. You can also increase your bet to 10 coins per spin of the reel, which means the maximum bet is set at 15 per spin. As such, the game should suit a large swathe of gamers. While there is no progressive jackpot offered, gamers can take a shot at winning as many as 375,000 coins in the bonus round.
Rhyming Reels
Georgie Porgie is one of Microgaming’s Rhyming Reels slots. Other titles under this umbrella include Jack and Jill, Old King Cole, Queen of Hearts and Hearts & Tarts. If you’re intent on playing a game that speaks to your 5-year-old self, Georgie Porgie might well be the one to rekindle those early memories.
You don’t have to be familiar with the nursery rhyme to play Georgie Porgie: a basic comprehension of how games like this work will suffice.
George P In The 21st Century
As stated, Microgaming have taken a bit of a liberty with the original text. Georgie is now a 21st-century nerd, complete with buck teeth, oversized spectacles and a shaggy ginger demi-fro. He’s not a million miles away from Napoleon Dynamite, come to think of it. The action plays out on an American high school campus, with Georgie trying to do as nerds do and survive another day without having his head forcibly rammed down the U-bend by a cadre of damned jocks. He also wants to kiss the girls, who are – of course – gorgeous cheerleaders in thrall to the buffed-out jocks. Nice guys finish last, huh?
The symbols in the game include a close-up of our eponymous dweeb, a pair of sobbing girls, a pair of brawny jocks, between which lurk two smitten cheerleaders, an image of Georgie (wearing an unflattering orange T-shirt with the message “I HEART PUDDING” emblazoned on the front) planting a smacker on the cheek of the soon-to-be-sobbing girl, a fresh mint breath spray, a Georgie Porgie logo, an image of Georgie fleeing across the garden of – who knows, a frat house? – while being pursued by the jocks, and the typical playing card symbols, from 10 through to Ace. Deep breath: that’s a whole lotta symbols. You’ll soon get used to them, though.
The close-up of Georgie is the highest-paying of the regular symbols, yielding 15,000 for 5 in a line. Five of Georgie kissing the girl entitles you to 12,500, while five of the crying girls grants 10,000. All wins pay left-to-right except the scatter, which pays wherever it is.
The all-important mint spray is the scatter icon. Land three or more and you’ll earn between 15 and 25 free spins. While you’re enjoying free spins, you’ll also be treated to a 5x slots multiplieron all winning combinations. Each mint spray logo that appears on the reels during free spins entitles you to one additional free spin. What’s more, the icon pays 2x the total bet.
If you think the free spins round is the key to big wins on Georgie Porgie, you’d be right. But wait, there’s more. During free spins, all wins featuring a winning combo of Georgie Porgie logos – which also act as the game’s wild – pay a whopping 25x. Considering five GP logos in a line already pays 75,000, you can make some serious moolah during this phase!
Even if you just use one GP logo to replace another in forming a winning line, your win will be gilded with a 5x multiplier. Needless to say, the Georgie Porgie wild substitutes for all symbols except the mint spray scatter.
Better Than Georgie
Georgie Porgie ain’t a loser; he’s just misunderstood. That’s the premise of Microgaming’s Rhyming Reels video slot, where you can win big while our hard-luck hero makes a fool of himself. While an extra bonus round would be nice, the game’s free spins round is one of the best we’ve come across, replete with multipliers. There’s even a double-or-nothing gamble feature. Give this one a try; maybe it’ll treat you better than life has poor Georgie.
