First, let’s start walking you through the looks of The Big Deal Deluxe slot. We still get the same Vegas casino vibe as in the original game and see the same symbols on the reels, but everything looks extremely polished now. The slot has sharp cartoonish graphics with high attention to detail, and there are plenty of smooth animations that add a touch of life to the scenery. The musical aspect is also on spot, as an upbeat jazz soundtrack really fits the gameplay perfectly.

The Big Deal Deluxe Slot - Reel Screen

The backdrop showcases a posh Vegas gambling house, and in the center is sitting a standard 5x3 reel layout with 25 fixed win lines, made up of 10 regular symbols. They start at the lower end with rings, cocktails, cufflinks, watches, chips, and banknotes, paying from 4x to 6x the bet for five-of-a-kind wins. The higher lot, in turn, consists of sports cars, male and female gamblers, and the casino building, worth from 20x to 200x the bet for combinations of five.

The Big Deal Deluxe slot comes with a betting range of €0.25 to €5,000 per spin, so both lower-stake punters and the riskiest of high-rollers would find suitable options here. The volatility is high, and there are four different RTP values available, with 98.40% being the highest, though, 96.85% is considered the default one. Yet, you can come across lower-than-average values, namely 94.26% or even 92.05%, so be sure to read the rules carefully before making a deposit. The maximum win capability is what’s most impressive here since payouts up to 30,000x the stake are possible.

The Big Deal Deluxe Slot Features

Look out for poker dealer symbols, which act as Wild, substituting for any of the regular symbols in winning combos. They always appear stacked on the reels, and if a stack lands partially visible, it nudges up or down to cover that reel entirely.

The Big Deal Deluxe Slot - Wild Win

Wild symbols are available only on the three middle reels. When a Wild takes part in a winning combination, that win gets multiplied by 2x. However, if multiple Wilds participate in a win, their multipliers do not sum up. Yet, bigger multipliers are still possible in the free games feature, covered below.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols simultaneously anywhere in view awards 5, 10, or 20 Free Spins respectively. Plus, retriggers are possible by landing 3+ Scatters during the feature.

Each win you achieve during the bonus game is doubled, and winning combinations with Wild symbols are multiplied by 6x. Additionally, Wild symbols can appear on all reels during the free spins.

Finally, there’s a Super Bet feature, which increases the odds of triggering the free games in return for a 2x increased bet. More than that, when the feature is enabled, Wild symbols appear more frequently in the bonus.

Review Summary

Well, The Big Deal Deluxe is an entertaining slot, with a great theme and rewarding features. Yet, when compared to the original game, there’s something missing. And that something is the progressive jackpot, which has always been the key to its ongoing popularity and the main reason why players kept spinning the reels on it. Habanero decided to omit the jackpot in the Deluxe edition, however, which is definitely a major drawback, and thus it will hardly repeat the success of its predecessor.
