Review
Grab your tool and get ready for an underground brawl on the video slot from Quickspin. Slugger Time bashes multiplier wilds up to x5 and sticky multiplier wilds into a free spins bonus that lets you pick your volatility. Fight for unique sticky multiplier values and different numbers of free spins to emerge victoriously and claim wins of up to 22,144 times your stake.
Slot Details
Slugger Time is a video slot with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are paid for matching three or more symbols from left to right on adjacent reels along lines. Rumble in an underground jungle from 0.20 credits to 100 credits per spin. This game has a very high volatility rating (5/5) and an RTP of 96.18%, changing slightly for the third free spins option to 96.19%. You can also use the Bonus Buy for 75x your stake with RTP choices between 96.49% – 96.52%.
Slugger Time may have a fresh lick of paint, but the recognisable graphic-novel artwork coupled with a tell-tale memory-jolt courtesy of the music points towards Quickspins Cabin Crashers. The theme is a tongue-in-cheek one of underground mask-wearing brawls, with weapons for symbols and knockout images of killing-blows for big wins.
The pay symbols start at the low end with 10, J, Q, K and A, awarding up to 2.5x your bet for five of a kind. Next, nunchaku, a broken bottle and a knuckleduster award up to 8x your bet for five of a kind. Lastly, three clown, chicken and rabbit masks complete the mid-range pay symbols and pay up to 40x your bet for five of a kind.
Wilds are self-titled and feature on reels 1, 3 and 5 with multipliers up to x5 and substitute for all others except for the bonus scatter, a knuckledustered fist awarding a choice of four free spins rounds for landing all three.
Slugger Time Slot Features
So far, Slugger Time has been a constant reminder of the game studios 2021 release of a lone cabin-dweller fighting zombie hoards on Cabin Crashers. Let’s join the scuffle to better understand the rules of engagement for comparison.
During the base game and bonus, Multiplier Wilds feature on reels 2, 3 and 4. When part of a winning combination, they will multiply the win by their value. Should more than one multiplier wild feature, the values are added before applying to the win. During the base game, each has a random multiplier of x2, x3, x4 or x5. For the free spins bonus, the multiplier range is determined by your free spins choice.
Land three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 to gain entry to the Fight Picker. Before the free spins begin, you have a choice of four bonus rounds, progressively increasing in volatility, with option one being the lowest. Option three is the most volatile fixed choice with fewer spins to land higher valued multiplier wilds. Lastly, the mystery choice could get you 20 free spins with x5 multiplier wild which would be the most desirable combination but is in no way guaranteed.
Free Spins | Sticky Multiplier Wild Value | Bonus Buy RTP |
12 | x2, x3 | 96.49% |
9 | x3, x4 | 96.50% |
6 | x4, x5 | 96.52% |
Random 6 – 20 | Random or x5 only | 96.50% |
During the Chicken Siege Free Spins, all multiplier wild symbols are sticky. Upon landing, they lock in position and hold their chosen win multiplier for the remainder of the bonus round. Scatter symbols are removed from the reels for the free spins and no additional spins can be won. The fourth option of a random-pick bonus can award an x5 for all sticky multiplier wilds, along with 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 or a brawling 20 free spins.
Final Verdict
Apart from similar artwork, Slugger Time is a straight-up 100% copy of Cabin Crashers released less than 4 months ago by Quickspin that welcomed a multiplier wild gameplay focus in an edgy graphical-novel style. Slugger Time does no more than deliver the same, possibly to unsuspecting players who missed the first.
Clones of games are not unusual but rarely make for a good review and typically come with a touch more than just a change of graphics. Still, if you’re a fan of Cabin Crashers, particularly the music, and the game feels out-of-sorts, Slugger Time provides a no-nonsense alternative.
