The Big Deal

If you enjoy watching The Weal of Fortune and similar TV game shows, you will probably become a fan of The Big Deal slot machine.

Its theme is inspired by a popular quiz program where the big rewards expect the luckiest contesters. Accordingly, the winning potential of this game is at a high level. 

With 4 bonus games, wilds stacking up on the reels and 30 paylines going in all directions...
... this game is really worthy of your time. 

Revolver Gaming is the developer behind this release and it has made a true homage to the TV game show.

Theme 

Big Deal was aired on FOX Network in 1996, as the sequel of Let's Make a Deal quiz. The show wasn’t a huge success, but it did leave its mark in television history.
Due to very interesting gameplay, it’s no wonder the developer chose it as the theme of this slot.

Although it’s an animated version…
… the grid closely resembles the original set.

A charming host and its blond co-host are there to welcome the players and guide them through all stages of the game. They are also appearing on the reels along with other symbols. 

Speaking of symbols…
…the high paying ones come with animation, while the regular cards are embellished with quite interesting designs. In fact, the overall visual presentation is very easy on the eyes and corresponds with the engaging gameplay.

Both graphics and animations are excellent, and theme executed to perfection.
Better yet, the game keeps its top-notch quality on all devices, since it’s completely mobile friendly. 

Betting options

The grid features a 4x5 reel setup, with 30 pay-lines. Lines are fixed, meaning that choosing how many pay-lines you want to bet on isn’t an option.
A betting range is set from minimum €0.30 to maximum €300.

While overall RTP is 95.9%...
…in the main game it is at 70%, and even lower in the bonus round at only 25.9%. 

Combined with medium volatility, the reals might be more interesting to casual punters practicing for slot tournaments rather than high risk-takers.

The Big Deal Slot Features

All the excitement of this release lays in its features.
At first glance…
…it seems like there isn’t a lot of them, but when you play for a while, you’ll see there are several minigames within the main features themselves. 

Special symbols

• Wild – appears stacked on the reels and substitutes for all other symbols, except the bonus card; 
• Big Spin card – This bonus symbol serves as a trigger for the most massive feature of this game - whenever three or more of these cards land in any position on reels 2, 3 and 4, The Big Spin Bonus feature will activate. 

The Big Spin Bonus wheel

Many other releases by this developer have an abundance of features. Here, there is only one, but with many mini-features included.
This wheel brings many options for scoring big winnings and comes with numerous prizes.

The bonus wheel can award any of the following:

• Lo Move up – A number from 1 to 10 is presented at the start of the round. Players decide if the next plaque’s number will be higher or lower. Players move when guessing correctly, and to the right if guessing incorrectly. No moves if the numbers match. When players land on a prize, the game ends and that prize is awarded. Awards are multiplied by total bet.
• Kaplinko! – The game begins with three balls. On each turn, players must drop one of the green balls from the top board. Prizes are awarded based on the bin values displayed to the side of the board. 
• N.Match – Players must select squares until 3 matching pairs are revealed. Values are either coins or multipliers. The final award is the sum of coin matches times the sum of multiplier matches awarded. If no multipliers are revealed, then the final award is the sum of the coin matches. Final awards are multiplied by total bet.
• New spins – If 3 bonus symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, then additional spins equal to the number of initiating spins will be awarded. A player can get up to 15 complimentary spins, with different multipliers. 

Our Take

Lovers of the classic slots with fruit themes won’t be impressed with this release, but the ones who prefer extra options should really try it out. 

However...
...while it is a very entertaining game, it is greatly dependent on special features, but they are highly rewarding.

The superb graphics, elaborate story and thrilling gameplay are the main characteristics of The Big Deal slot. If this piques your interest, play the demo version first, and then give the real deal a go.
