Arcade-Style Wackiness in Trigger Happy Slot
Ah, the invention of the arcade machine—a pivotal moment in history when engineers decided that the best use of their genius was to create a box that ate quarters. The year was 1971, and a group of tech wizards, probably fueled by a mix of caffeine and sheer nerdiness, gave birth to the first arcade machine. And since they were nerds, of course, it was set in space!
Relive the glory days of the arcade, which is, of course, the 80s, with the brand-new release from Big Time Gaming, Trigger Happy slot. It’s like Duck Hunt meets Gremlins.
Flex those fingers, and let’s GO!
The base Trigger Happy slot mechanics employ cascading cluster wins. The cascading part removes symbols involved in winning combinations, allowing new symbols to fall into the empty spots. The cluster part refers to how wins are created with combinations of five or more symbols connected either horizontally or vertically, triggering a win.
At the beginning of every spin, the slot will target one spot on the reels to transform into a multicolored wild symbol. Following each cascade, another wild will be added to the reels.
Bonus panels are on the left of the reels and below the reels. The space targeted to be transformed into a wild will also trigger any special features in the bonus panel directly below it and directly to the left of it. Bonus features include multipliers and free spins. Bomb symbols that appear in the bonus panels will explode regardless of whether they are targeted. The entire row of symbols will be removed either above it or to the right of it, and the symbols will be replaced with up to four wilds.
A round of the slot’s free spins adds an additional targeting feature to the reels. In addition to triggering a round of free spins in the old-fashioned way, you can also select to utilize the slot’s Buy Bonus feature to purchase a round.
Is Trigger Happy slot a crazy good time?
The 80s are back, and shrinkflation is gone, with Trigger Happy slot offering a HUGE 50,000x max multiplier. This gives you a shot at winning up to $250,000 betting at just $5 a spin. There is a caveat, though. With huge multipliers comes great volatility, and Trigger Happy has very high volatility. So, you can kiss small, consistent wins goodbye when you choose to start playing this latest Big Time Gaming release. The slot offers an RTP of 96.58%.
The best way to describe the Trigger Happy slot is as frenetic—both in its gameplay mechanics and its animation. It feels as though there isn’t a second where there isn’t something happening, even when you’re not winning. It’s a quality that not many slots get right. I do want to and will play this one again. I give Trigger Happy slot the coveted ten out of ten.
If you’re looking for a few other hot slots from Big Time Gaming, I recommend trying out Rasputin Megaways, which is one of the quirkiest slots I have ever played, and Max Megaways 2.
