How To Play Sparky & Shortz Mobile Slot
Sparky & Shortz is a 5-reel video slot machine with 10 fixed paylines, stacked symbols, and increasing multipliers on every stack of symbols.
This Sparky and Shortz slot has two friendly robots, who with a little bit of help, might be able to pay out as much as 10,000x your bet.
Shortz is the massive white robot, who opens up on screen to reveal 5 reels and 3 rows of low-paying crystal symbols, and high-paying aliens capture in jars.
Sparky, on the other hand, is the cute little purple robot by the side of the reels who is constantly trying to give you value for money by boosting the multipliers on the reels.
The Sparky & Shortz slot gives you up to a 15x multiplier on any spin
We love video slots like the Gonzo’s Guest Megaways slot or the Eclipse of the Sun God review, where every spin gives you potential multipliers.
It’s no different in this Sparky & Shortz mobile slot, but how you get the multipliers are different. For one, you just need to land a full stack of any symbol to cover a reel, and the multiplier goes up by one.
So if you land all 5 reels with the same symbol, it automatically increases the paytable value by 5x. But it’s Sparky that takes all the glory as he can randomly boost the in-game multiplier by +2x up to +10x on any spin, giving you a little bit more value for money.
Even bigger multipliers in the free spins
Sparky & Shortz is a mid to high variance slot machine, so you have to accept that as fun as the graphics are in the base game, they will only get you so far.
But when you trigger the free spins using 3 scatters, you catch 10 free spins where the multipliers don’t reset.
So each time you land an alien that covers the whole reel, or 3 crystal, the multiplier increases and stays up until the very end of the Sparky & Shortz bonus.
It’s these simple mechanics and quirky animations, that make this Play’n GO slot fun to play and easy to pick up and go.
