Save the Date: What to Expect from the Bridesmaids Online Slot

We’ve been looking forward to this ever since Microgaming announced back in January that it’s big slot release of 2015 would be a video slot based on the 2011 comedy film where everything that goes wrong… goes wrong.

Or at least, half of us have been looking forward to it. But we left those losers at home, and decided to write about this with all the excitement of a true film fan.

Because now that we know it will be out in the very first week of August, we’ve got even more information to give you.

Reason being, Microgaming have been good enough to give us a video and some snippets of extra information.

They have also directly confirmed that the Bridesmaids slot will be mobile.

Seeing as we are ‘Lucky Mobile Slots‘, you can imagine that that we are excited about this upcoming release.

We do love adding to our ever grown list of tablet and mobile slot games reviews. Not to mention playing new games.

We’d argue that even if you’re not a fan of the film, you need to see this. Because this. This is some classy shit.

Watch the Bridesmaids slot video and judge

Right, so what did you think? Personally it was a tad pink for our taste.

We know this is a wedding slot, and the bridesmaids are wearing pink. But pink reels, pink backgrounds, pink logo and purple buttons (which is just a dark pink, let’s be honest), is a little much.

If you’ve never seen the comedy film, think of it as a modern take on the romantic comedy chick flick.

By that, we mean, it’s kinda gross, kinda edgy, and even your boyfriend will enjoy it.

So to make it so very pink, kinda makes it lose it’s edge. We can’t see many guys jumping at the chance to play.

Which would actually be a shame as there’s some interesting game features and numbers here.

What we learnt from watching the video

Many things. But we are going to assume you didn’t watch as carefully, or watch it at all.

• 5×4 reels give you 40 paylines (not a 243 ways to win! yay!)
• Main character symbol come stacked by 2 high
• 5 of a kind wins give you movie clips cutscenes
• 3 or more cupcake scatter trigger the wheel bonus
• Win up to 4 bonus games features
• Win instant cash prizes in the wheel bonus
• Win a… wedding jackpot in the wheel bonus?

So all in all, this is actually pretty tame considering how bonus heavy the blockbuster Microgaming video slots can get.

Extra stuff we know because we are awesome

Hey, we’ve been in the casino industry a while. We know people, who know people, who know people. Who know a flight attendant call Stove.

• It has a high return to player rate of 96% to 97%
• It’s going to be a fairly well balanced game – so decent wins whilst not taking all your money at once
• It has a maximum win of 105,000 in cash at the max bet
• Min/max bet: 0.40 – 60
• That’s a 1,750 times your bet max win
• The Flying High Free Spins is where that’s hiding

Explain each of the four Bridesmaids bonus games please

1. Friendship Free Spins: You get 10 free spins and the reels pay left to right and right to left. Lillian (the bride and highest paying symbol) is stacked on reel 3 and is wild for both the Annie and Helen symbol. Annie symbol is stacked on reel 1 and 2, and Helen is stacked on reels 4 and 5.
2. Flying High Free Spins: You basically get cascading symbols (where winning symbols disappear and more come tumbling down), plus growing wilds stacks. These increase by 1 wild per spin to a maximum stack of 13.
3. Boutique Bonus: Match the bridesmaids to win cash prizes and bonus multipliers. Matching the bride will end the bonus, the longer that takes the bigger the multiplier.
4. Magic Moments Bonus: Select magic moments from the movie (and watch them) and you’ll get instant cash prizes, till the slot says no more.

Are we going to climb The Bridesmaids online slot like a tree?

We see many upsides and a few downsides to this new Microgaming slot game.

On the brightside, it’s nice to see a big game from this slots provider not being 243 ways to win. Not that we have anything against 243 ways to wins slots.

Some of our favourites, from the Twisted Circus to Fish Party, have 243 ways to win.

But, you know, sometimes it’s nice to have the choice of different paylines and reels. Microgaming have been very 243 ways to win heavy over the last few years.

And considering this is 5×4, and 40 paylines, it’s a bit different from their norm. Especially when you see the stacked symbols of the ladies, giving you a chance of getting some decent 5 of a kind wins.

Shame the bonus wheel is random

So on one hand, we are glad that there is, essentially, only one bonus – those three scatters triggering the wheel. So the game itself should flow easily.

On the other hand, it kinda mean teasing you with 4 types of bonus features, instant cash, and an in-game jackpot (amount unknown) that is triggered by blind luck.

If the scatters are hard to catch, this is going to suck. Can you imagine spinning 100 spins only to get 12 times your bet?

If, on the other hand, the scatters come easily enough, and you get that thrilling feeling every time you think you might get one of the four bonus game features, then Bridesmaids will become a firm favourite.

Where will you find this online slot machine?

Nowhere near a mobile or tablet, but most of the Microgaming casinos will release it before the 7th of August 2015.

If you’re thinking of reliving the big blockbuster movie moments, we highly recommend Psycho by NextGen, Aliens by NetEnt and Game of Thrones by Microgaming.

All of which can be found at Guts where you get an exclusive 10 free spins on Piggy Riches and £300/€$400 in bonus and 100 free spins after deposit.
