Slugger Time Review

Slugger Time kind of looks more threatening than it actually is, at least in terms of how graphic the visuals turned out to be after we’d finished admiring the splash screen. We wouldn’t wanna bump into these animal-masked street thugs on an abandoned subway station though, or anywhere else for that matter, but there is very little actual violence in this Quickspin follow-up to Cabin Crashers.

We might as well reveal it up front, so yes, Slugger Time is a pure reskin job, so there is nothing new to see here in terms of features. The math model is the same as well, and the base game is all about multiplier wilds. Wilds are sticky in either of the 4 bonus round options, and it’s all about racking up as many multiplier wilds as possible. The cartoonish style sort of takes the edge off, like in the original game, and it’s a fairly decent clone if nothing else.

Slugger Time Slot - Reels Screen

Slugger Time Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 5 and 40 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and wilds can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 in all stages of the game. The wilds step in for regular pay symbols to help complete wins, and they come with random multiplier values of x2, x3, x4 or x5 in the base game. If multiple wilds are part of the same win, the multiplier values are added together before the win is boosted.

The Chicken Siege Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 knuckle duster fist scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, and this takes you to the Fight Picker screen. You can choose from 4 bonus round options as follows:

• Fight 1 - awards 12 spins with multiplier wilds of x2 and x3 (5,111x potential in 100B spins).
• Fight 2 - awards 9 spins with multiplier wilds of x3 and x4 (6,843x potential in 100B spins).
• Fight 3 - awards 6 spins with multiplier wilds of x4 and x5 (9,822x potential in 100B spins).
• Fight 4 (randomized) - awards 6-20 spins with multiplier wilds up to x4-x5 (22,144x potential in 200B spins).

The big difference in the bonus round is that all multiplier wilds that appear become sticky on the grid. They will thus remain in place for the remainder of the feature. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may buy the bonus round for 75x the total stake. This gives you the same 4 options as already presented above. The RTP hovers around 96.50 % for all 4 bonus buy options.

The 200 Spins Slugger Time Slot Experience

You get to see quite a few multiplier wilds in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:41 into the 3:40-minute highlights video. We went with the randomized option, which gave us 6 free spins and x2-x3 multiplier wilds. Hit the play button below to see for yourself how we fared against the masked hooligan thugs.

Review Summary

The cartoonish visual style is very similar to Cabin Crashers, which we like, but we only wish Quickspin had put some effort into doing something new and exciting in the feature department also. There is no actual violence on display in this game, but it comes with a somewhat menacing atmosphere nonetheless. The game is fast-paced with the turbo switched on, and the multiplier wilds can do serious damage also in the base game.

Keep in mind that your bonus round choice has a massive impact on the potential, which ranges from 5,111x to 22,144x your stake, so choose your fight carefully. The fact that you can get all 4 options for the same moderate price of 75x does tell you something about expected average returns though. Overall, we prefer the original Cabin Crashers. Turning zombies into multiplier wilds goo via buckshots is just more satisfying than the baseball bat-wielding rabbit-ears hooligan you get in this game.

If you appreciate Slugger Time Slot you should also try:

Cabin Crashers - is Quickspin’s highly entertaining zombie-themed original release, and the shotgun-tooting cabin dwellers certainly know how to handle this horror show. The features and the math model are identical, so you’re looking at a 22,144x potential also in this game.

Eastern Emeralds - is a highly popular Quickspin release, at least it used to be, and you’ll benefit from multiplier wilds that can multiply up to x120 in the main game. The most volatile bonus round option comes with x8 multiplier wilds, and the FS potentials range between 2,294x and 16,003x your stake.

Hooligan Hustle - is a more realistic cartoon-style installment from Play’n Go, and you’ll see both riots and gang fights in this brutal game. The number of win ways can explode to 248,832 via the symbol split mechanic, and you get modifiers from a Rumble Row reel. You get 3 options when the bonus round triggers, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake.
