How Beat The Bobbies plays
Wins count along adjacent reels from the left in any position, so there are no paylines to follow. Jewels such as a crown, a ring and a pink diamond share the reels with the characters in the chase. Two symbols do the special work:
- Bobby wild: the police officer symbol substitutes for every symbol except Penny, and it appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.
- Penny scatter: pays from anywhere in view, 5x the total stake for three, 10x for four and 50x for five, and three or more start the free spins.
The base game stays simple, and the decisions come in the free spins.
Choosing your free spins
Three or more Penny scatters open a menu of five free spins options:
- 20 free spins at 2x
- 15 free spins at 3x
- 10 free spins at 4x
- 8 free spins at 5x
- 5 free spins at 10x
Eyecon calls this choosing the volatility of your free spins, a feature it first used in Stampede. The longer options give more spins at a lower multiplier, while the shorter ones give fewer spins at a higher one. The round can be retriggered up to 15 times.
