The history of recording music is not very old if you think about it. The rock n roll sensation only appeared as recently as the 1940s and 1950s, because we had only then recently developed the technology of both radios, vinyl, and more.
The Big Bopper is a slot dedicated to the early days of rock n roll. This slot name comes from a fella known as Jiles Perry Richardson Jr, who was a musician, songwriter, and disc jockey! Fittingly, this slot is all about the beginning of rock n roll. It offers classic 50s musical aesthetics to transport you to a time when music was young, and the only available ways to listen to music were vinyl and radio. This five-by-three slot even comes with classical guitar music, guitar resembling Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, and other classic artists of the time who likely would have been played by this disc jockey.
Layout, Design and Use
The design layout of this game is simple and easy to use. The grid is formatted on a background that includes an empty stage with red curtains, lights shining, and seating for an audience. This venue is a big-time venue, and they aren't playing around with authenticity in this theme. Down on the corner of the screen is a place to adjust your speed, on the left side near the speed button is the autoplay button. The purpose of both of these buttons is for those who want to spin faster, and observe. I would recommend this for experienced slot players. Your bet is displayed on the right side and has small red arrows to adjust the size of your bet. Finally in the furthermost right corner of the screen is a place that displays how much you've won. This game includes many music-related playing symbols, notably a vinyl record, an acoustic guitar, an old-fashioned microphone, a jukebox, an old-fashioned telephone, a music note, a gold record.
The Wild Symbol
The wild in this game is The Big Bopper himself, so look for a 50s man! He only lands on reels 2, 3, and 5. He replaces all symbols to form a winning combination. All Big Booper wins are tripled. The scatter symbol is the "bopper" and it appears on all reels. The scatter wins are added to All Ways Pays wins and are multiplied by your total bet.
The Re-Spin Feature
When you trigger the re-spin feature, you do so by landing 3, 4, or 5 identical bopper symbols. The reels triggered are held in this position, while other reels are respun. If during the re-spin, you're lucky enough to land another bopper, you'll receive an extra re-spin. The re-spins will continue and can be endless, should you keep landing a bopper combination or 6 scatters appear. The scatter wins are added to your winnings at the end of the re-spin cycle.
The White Lighting Free Games Feature
This glorious feature is triggered, and you'll win free games as long as The Big Bopper keeps singing his song. These free games are awarded when The Big Bopper starts in on one of his hits, White Lightening. When that song ends, the free games cease. While playing this feature, the top-paying White Lightning symbol substitutes the bopper on the reels.
The Chantilly Lace Free Games
When you trigger this feature, you'll be awarded free games as long as the Big Bopper continues his song, and you could win potentially a total of 45 free games up to 10x the bet placed.
