Big Bucks Blitz Bonus Pot Slot Review

We’ve opened this review with how Big Bucks Blitz Bonus Pot is set in a safe, as that’s exactly what the background of this game is about. Among the countless drawers and stacks of cash you’ll find the reels, which are dark purple and bordered in understated gold. Tense music plays as you spin, with sound effects celebrating your wins. It all makes for a very solid audio visual experience, especially when paired with the subtle animations displayed by some of the symbols. 

Since we’ve mentioned the symbols we might as well point them all out. There are 5 high pays, which are the classic diamond, sevens, Bars, bell, and cherries. The A, K, Q, J, and 10, meanwhile, make the low pays. The golden wild can substitute for all of these paying symbols in order to form more wins. Reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 hold instant prize symbols that can land in 2x2 and 3x3 size as well as regular. These hold cash values that can be collected by the Collect briefcases found on reels 1 and 6. Last but not least is the bonus scatter, which is found on all reels and will trigger the free spins if you land 3 or more. 

Here are the values of the paying symbols: 

• Diamond: 6 - 5x / 5 - 2.5x / 4 - 2x / 3 - 1.5x / 2 - 0.5x
• Sevens: 6 - 3x / 5 - 2.5x / 4 - 1.5x / 3 - 1x
• Bars: 6 - 2.5x / 5 - 1.2x / 4 - 0.9x / 3 - 0.6x
• Bells, Cherries: 6 - 2x  / 5 - 1x / 4 - 0.7x / 3 - 0.5x
• A: 6 - 1.2x / 5 - 0.6x / 4 - 0.4x / 3 - 0.3x
• K, Q: 6 - 1x / 5 - 0.5x / 4 - 0.3x / 3 - 0.2x
• J, 10: 6 - 0.8x / 5 - 0.4x / 4 - 0.2x / 3 - 0.1x

There are two main bonus features in Big Bucks Blitz Bonus Pot - cash collection and free spins. Let’s break them both down. 

Cash Collection 

On reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 you’ll find the instant prize symbols that hold cash values. These come in different sizes, with the regular symbols including the Mini prize worth 10x. Instant prize symbols that are 2x2 in size can contain Mini (10x) and Minor (50x) prizes, and the 3x3 symbols can include Minor (50x) and Major (500x) symbols. Last but not least is the 4x4 symbol that holds the Mega prize worth 5,000x the stake. 

These instant prize symbols are collected by the Collect symbol found on reels 1 and 6. if a Collect lands on both reels and 6 then each one will collect the values of any instant prizes in view. 

Free Spins

Land 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters to get 8, 12, 16, or 20 free spins. During these the values of any instant prize symbols that hit are collected in a Bonus Pot. This Bonus Pot starts with a value of 5x your bet, and you can win its current value by landing a Collect or reel 1 or 6. You get one more chance to win the Bonus Pot on the final spin, which is when a 4x4 Mega Instant Prize symbol can land on reels 2-5.

While in no way revolutionary, Big Bucks Blitz Bonus Pot should bring a solid slot experience for players of all levels. The 6-reel format means plenty of paylines, the 96.17% RTP is decent, and the promise of wins reaching up to 10,000x can excite many. That said such win potential is only attainable during the free spins round, since in our experience any payouts won during regular wins were on the small side despite the promise of volatile gameplay. Then again there are instant prize symbols lurking on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, so maybe we’ll manage to get one of the big ones one of these days…
