Time to hit the limelight and go centre stage, as you hit bonus after bonus in this Stage 888 mobile slot.
Red Tiger Gaming slots can be a little hit or miss, but we have to say that they are the first to make a decent Karaoke slot game.
Which considering that that extensive list includes the Microgaming Karaoke Party game, it’s not exactly got big competition.
Still, as you are greeted on a red and pink stage, full of Microphones, 888 symbols and four special singing contestants.
The Stage 888 slot keeps things interesting by rarely letting you stop and enjoy getting any of the line wins.
But that’s ok as over 20 paylines, unless you get a couple of of good 5 of a kind wins with the two high paying symbols, there’s not much to look forward to.
Instead, this is all about catching the right bonus slot feature; from the stacked wilds, to the nudge feature that gives you a win each time.
Although the best feature is the Mega Tiles, which cover 3×3 normal symbols and, in our opinion, doesn’t come often enough.
But then we can get mega symbols in other slots like Luchadora and Spinata Grande by NetEnt as standard.
The Magic Reels is also fun, giving you a whole screen of the two best symbols, but is less reliable.
And you know what? We didn’t even realise till we came to write the review and had to look through all the bonus features we’d gone through.
Why? Because on top of all the base game features you’ve got 3 click me bonuses that give you instant cash.
The best of which is the Stage Bonus where, much like in the original and best of the Rainbow Riches slots, you tap to move up a ladder full of multipliers.
The top multiplier has 1,000x your bet, which is more than tempting; though we’re generally happy if we get to 20x or 30x.
And that’s the things about this Stage 888 slot machine; without realising you are constantly compromising.
You don’t mind that you don’t get big wins in the base game, because you have lots of features to entertain.
And you don’t mind you don’t have free spins, or never reach wins more than 50x your bet, because you’ve got three instant win bonuses to distract you.
The Stage 888 slot game is great for beginners who love the idea of lots of bonus features and a little practice.
But anyone with a little experience will probably swiftly move on after a few spins to harder hitting slots with bonus games like Robocop from Playtech.

Nudge: Randomly, this feature will move the reels for you to help create a win. Not always big, but always a little something.
Stacked Wilds: The four main contestants, 1 girl and 3 boys, are wild symbols and come stacked 3 high. They land to cover the whole reel more often than not, but don't tend to show up as often as you'd think considering there's four of them.
Stage Light: Not technically a feature, but when the lights starts flashing mid-spin, you know you are about to get something really good. They put it down as a bonus, but it's really just a nice way to let you anticipate a win.
Magic Reels: Randomly triggered, you get one spin where only the two top high paying Stage 888 slot symbols appear on the reels.
Mega Tiles: One symbol will be randomly chosen to become a Mega Tile – which covers 3x3 spaces of the reel. If it lands, and with a little luck, you can get a nice big win.
Mike Bonus: A simple click me bonus where you click on the golden mike and get instant cash rewards - triggered by finding 3 golden mike symbols on screen.
Instant Win: Again, a click me bonus where you pick between golden notes on your screen and a cash prize is then awarded. You trigger by finding three notes symbols on screen.
Stage Bonus: Get 3 red button symbols and you'll trigger the best bonus of all. That's because you now have to get your hands on the massive 1000x Jackpot. It's a multiplier trail; so you click a button and move forward spaces, gaining multipliers along the way until you hit 'collect'. Similar to the Red Riding Hood bonus slot feature.
This Stage 888 slot on mobile has more bonus features than most, meaning you rarely feel cheated by the fact that you get no free spins, and rarely wins more than about 50x your bet.
But that's ok. With lots of action and plenty of wins, you can spin for a fairly decent amount, all the while hoping to catch that big 1,000 times your bet win in the bonus games.
Not as effective as the Hansel and Gretel Fairytale Legends bonuses, but with a decent theme, this still has plenty of entertainment value.
