The Big Boppers Lives Through RTG Online Slot

August 18, 2016

Branded online slots based on pop music seem to be the latest rage. Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix and Guns N’ Roses have been brought to the reels. But if you are from an older generation or are a big fan of Don McLean’s American Pie then you have to try The Big Bopper from Realtime Gaming. The Big Bopper was the alias of J. P. Richardson, Jr. It was him along with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens that McLean eulogised after their tragic death in a plane crash on February 3, 1959. The Big Bopper is live at all Realtime Gaming powered online casinos like Club World, High Noon and Silver Oak.

A theme like The Big Bopper requires a grand stage and Realtime Gaming provides it. It is an all pays slots game with six reels which gives 729 ways to win with six-of-a-kind combinations. The symbols on the reels recreate the era of the 1950s, which was when The Big Bopper ruled. The symbols include gold disc, juke box, microphone, record player, gramophone record, guitar, portable radio and two-piece telephone.

The Big Bopper takes the place of pride as an expanded wild symbol appearing on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. It triples payouts when substituting in winning combinations. The letters forming BOPPER are scatter symbols, with B appearing on the first reel, O on the second reel and so on. Three or more scatter symbols appearing from left to right or right to left trigger a re-spin feature. The reels containing the scatter symbols are held and the other reels spun again. If new scatters land on the reels then another re-spin is awarded. This process repeats till there are no new scatter symbols or till there are scatter symbols on each reel. Line payouts are awarded after each re-spin and scatter payouts are awarded at the end of the feature.

In order to reach the bonus stage you have to get all six scatter symbols on the reels through the re-spins. One of three bonus features is randomly triggered. In the Big Bopper Instant Win, Richardson sings his popular number, Chantilly Lace. Your bonus amount depends on how long the song plays. The Chantilly Lace feature is similar but much better. The Big Bopper again sings this song and this time you keep playing free spins till the song stops. The feature can award up to 45 free spins with an up to 10x multiplier. The White Lightnin’ feature similarly awards free spins to the White Lightnin’ hit number.
