Venus, Big Ben and Feathered Frenzy – Analytical Review of Videoslots

Various preferences in types of entertainment encourage videoslots’ developers to pay more attention to various themes. In our regular review, we are talking about Venus, England and sweet birds from Novomatic, Aristocrat and BTG correspondingly.

Venus by Novomatic – characteristics and access restriction

The Garden of Venus became the main topic of this videoslot where the developer provided 50 lines and five reels in four rows for players to form accumulations.

Judging from the presentational video on the developer’s website, the simulator has free games, which can be received if to collect the necessary number of images of swans, white hares, mysterious potion, magic mirrors or Venus.

The Wild symbol in the videoslot is presented in the form of a closed shell with a pearl. It replaces everything except Scatter. Three and more Scatters on the screen start twelve free spins with one randomly chosen Xtra Stax symbol. Free spins bring the winning on the current bet. Besides, the developer offers to regulate its amount on the panel to the right of the reels. In fact, the number of lines players choose by themselves as well – in the left part of the screen on the corresponding scale.

Other control buttons are located at the bottom of the screen under the reels.

The video simulator has been developed on the NovoLine platform and presented on the market of videoslots in October 2017. At the same time, the developer provides no information about the RTP rate or other special features of the game.

In terms of its adaptation to different devices, the slot can be launched on mobile gadgets. According to some open sources, it can be adapted to smartphones, others provide totally controversial data.

It is also worth mentioning that not all online casinos have this slot game in their portfolio.

Big Ben by Aristocrat: on the slot’s theme and additional features

This videoslot is available in those casinos that work with Aristocrat. The developer’s main specialization is offline betting terminals but it has recently come up with games for online casinos.

Judging from the title, the videogame is dedicated to the United Kingdom. Except for the image of Big Ben, when the reels are spinning players can see a lot of British outstanding features: royal crown, red phone booth, double-decker, honor guard near the Buckingham Palace, national flag, lantern as well as alphanumerical designations of playing cards.

The game implies 25 paylines, the slot’s mechanics is presented in a standard variant: five reels in three rows. The developer offers players interesting opportunities to activate the bonus game, which is the simulator’s main special feature on the market. Here they are:

  • Big Ben is on the first and fifth reel – clock starts making the sound, each bang (from 1 to 12 times) adds bonuses. The maximum figure here is x500 (12 bangs);
  • Three and more Big Bens in any part of the reels provide from 15 to 25 free spins (depending on the number of Big Bens) and during free spins all the winnings double.

There is one more special feature of this videoslot – the Gamble button (which is located under the scoreboard with the winning amount). This function is not obligatory and becomes relevant only when the player has the winning combination. Gamble is a separate round, which offers to guess the card’s color. If the player’s assumption is right, their accumulations are doubled or even quadrupled, and when they make a mistake – all the winnings made during the game are lost. In order to exit from the game, one has to press the Take the Money button. The number of such additional games is limited by five attempts.

According to the open sources the RTP rate is 95,6% and the slot game is not adapted to mobile devices.

Feathered Frenzy from Big Time Gaming (BTG)

Sweet birds located on five reels in three rows are the main characters during the reels spinning. 20 lines can form good accumulations since the RTP rate, as the open sources claim, is 96,3%. Despite the fact that the developer presented its videoslot back in June 2014, it has been standing out in the line of similar products due to its bonus functions. Namely, three and more Scatter symbols start bonus functions: 15 free reel spins and three times more the amount that the player will receive. A combination of even 2 scatters in any part of the reels increases one’s accumulations. Besides, there is a Wild symbol in the game too.

The developer offers to choose the lines that will take part in the game as well as correct the size of bets.

High-quality graphics, animation, simplicity, user-friendliness and the possibility to be downloaded on all devices make this videoslot stand out in a positive way, however, this cannot be said about the variety of its bonus games.
