Like many of Aristocrat’s slot games, the Big Ben online slot is well designed with great graphics and engaging background music. The reels look as if they are on top of the narrow London streets, and you can clearly see all the old brick buildings. There are also many of London’s well known landmarks that appear as the symbols in the game, like the Big Ben clock Tower, the Guards, the old Tavern and the red double decker Buses. Other symbols in this Aristocrat classic include the standard playing cards, from nine and ten through to the Ace.
The Wild in Big Ben is the Queen’s Guard, and as such can replace all other symbols in a winning combination, except for the Scatter. The Wild is also a Wild multiplier, and every winning combination that he forms a part of is automatically doubled in value. The Big Ben Tower is the Scatter. This 5 reel game with its 25 paylines is well-produced showcase of London’s international tourist attractions and the reasons that this city is so highly targeted by visitors.
As is the case with most of the top slot machines available for direct, and instant online play, Big Ben is fully compatible with the main mobile operating systems, Android, iOS or Windows.
Plenty of Bonus Features
The Big Ben slot machine offers players a wide array of bonus features, something that has become a feature of Aristocrat games. The Big Ben Scatter symbol is, in fact also an accumulative multiplier. Should two or more of these symbols appear anywhere on the reels, players will find multipliers given that escalate quite dramatically, multiplying the initial stake by a minimum of 2x all the way up to a monster 1000x.
There is another interesting and special bonus round triggered when the Big Ben Scatter appears on reels 1 and 5. Using some well-recognised sound effects to herald the winning event at this game, players of online slot machines will be delighted to hear the famous clock tower chime out triumphantly in direct proportion to the size of the win. These sounds have been shown psychologically to be encouraging indeed.
Free Spins Bonus Round
The financial and game objective of Big Ben slots is to activate the Free Spins Round. This supplementary, and lucrative bonus game is triggered when three or more Scatter symbols arrive on the reels. Up to 20 free spins can be won. During the Free Spins bonus round, all winnings achieved will be doubled. During the Free Spins Bonus game, the betting stake is carried over from the previous spin, which is really just another argument for always playing at the maximum stake levels.
Big Ben also Offers a Gamble Feature
Aristocrat Gaming regularly provide players at their slot machines with the highly popular Gamble game to try and increase their pay outs. This feature becomes available each time the player achieves a win. During this gamble round, the player is asked to choose a colour and suit of a random playing card. If the player chooses the correct colour his wager amount will be doubled, and if he chooses the correct suit, the wins will be quadrupled. Players can use this gamble offer up to five times.
