The Flintstones Summer BBQ (WMS, release date ?)
Review by: C. M0use
After some poking around online I’m not sure if this “Summer BBQ” variant of the Flintstones slot is exclusively a “fun money” version available for assorted apps and on Facebook – places like Quick Hit, Jackpot Party and Gold Fish are the only ones I see advertising it. But if the “live casino” versions of the Flintstones are anything like it, they’re definitely worth checking out.
The game is centered on three bonus features that can potentially spring up with every spin – no need for scatter symbols or whatever, they might just kick off as soon as you press the spin button. Each are accompanied by animation clips from the cartoon: one simply scatters at least a few wilds onto the playfield, another is the “Yabba Dabba Doo” mode which is a random string of these clips that can add a ton of wilds plus multipliers and also split or stretch the screen, and then there’s a bonus wheel spin that can pop a few different things (the most valuable seeming to be Dino licking you some random amount of times for potentially big money).
The game thus feels more wild and anarchic than slots usually do, as you can potentially launch right into a wild sequence of wins with any given press of the button. You might see the playfield split into two or three separate reels, then stretch vertically multiple times, and have a long sequence of wilds and multipliers being thrown in to boot. This seeming generosity may be a function of it being only a “for fun” game on mobile apps and Facebook; I haven’t played any real money Flintstones games and would have to compare them. But the big win sequences are also counterbalanced by seemingly a lot of dead spins and tiny line wins, so it’s a fairly volatile game at the very least.
Setting aside its potential for wins, the effort on the art, animation and sound is top tier for a slot title. Between that and the possibility of any spin turning into a long wild run of bonuses, fans of the show should get a kick out of it.
