Big Red is another popular slot game that comes to us from Aristocrat. This game is considered a “high volatility slot” so be prepared for quite a ride.
The game has a lot of entertainment value that allows players to enjoy free games to help them multiply their winnings.
Because of the degree of volatility in this game, you can expect to see heavy betting that can pay off with tons of cash but can also deplete your entire bankroll if you’re not careful.
The corporate headquarters of Aristocrat is in Australia and Big Red has become quite a hit in that country, as well as other countries.
This is probably due to its aggressive gameplay, the possibility of big wins and because the game is set in the outback, which can be quite amazing.
Big Red base game
The theme of Big Red portrays life in the Australian outback. The game is available online or as a land-based slot machine. The symbols are typical things that would be found in the Australian outback. You will see trees, kangaroos, eagles, dingoes, and boars to name a few.
Big Red is very appealing visually with vivid graphics and fantastic animations. The game has realistic sound effects that make the visuals come to life as soon as the reels begin to spin. Every time you win the tempo of the sound goes up and continues to increase as the game progresses.
Because the game moves along at a fast pace, you cannot afford to become distracted from watching your screen. You will be entertained by life in the outback, especially if you’ve always wanted to visit.
Don’t be surprised if you become addicted to Big Red because the payouts can keep you coming back for more.
Bonus game features in Big Red slots
Big Red offers wilds, scatters, and free spins. The Tree symbolizes the scatter and can pop up on any reel that is active. The Kangaroo represents the wild and only pops up on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels. The Kangaroo can substitute for any of the other symbols in the game, apart from the Tree scatters, and in doing so increases your odds of hitting winning combos.
You can trigger the free spins when 1 or more Kangaroos pop up on your winning paylines. When this happens you will win 5 free spins, which come with a 2X multiplier to double your winnings. You can reactivate the free spins if the scatters pop up during a re-spin. This has the potential of really big wins as this can be retriggered time and time again for a total of up to 255 free spins!
When a scatter pops up on your re-spins, 5 more games are added to your tally for free. The scatters on their own pay out credits X the line bet, but during the re-spins, the scatter proves to be very profitable indeed.
Big Red: our verdict
Big Red from Aristocrat is a very high variance slot that can give amazing payouts. That said, this slot only has 5 pay line and can get a bit monotonous if you don't get the feature fast. But when you do, it can both amaze you or severely disappoint you, depending on the outcome of said bonus round. For the reel thrill seeker!
