Game Description for Bonkers

The Bonkers online slots game hosts a classic slot fruit machine with a modern slots twist in a bonus round. Luckily this fusion doesn�t feel like a compromise. Instead, it is a situation where we get the best of both worlds.

With just three coin levels to play, this simple game has a top heavy paytable and the potential for a progressive. In addition, and unusually for a fruity, there's the chance at winning free spins. In our thorough testing of this online slot, however, we've found little that would justify its title, Bonkers.

Perhaps the team at Real Time Gaming need to get out a little more, or maybe they'd just run out of ideas. However, we found Bonkers to be quite a standard three reel game with its focus firmly on gambling. Whilst this is certainly no bad thing from our perspective, we just found the game's title puzzling.

As the Bonkers slot machine uses the classic 3-reel, single-payline layout, it is easy to read and you will have no doubt when you have won. This is made even easier by the simple, functional graphics. The symbols are classic images of sevens and bars, and the game's logo.

The Bonkers slot also takes a minimalist approach to the extra features, which classic slots fans will appreciate. Unfortunately, though, this means there's little to make this slot stand out. We've played better titles by RTG using a similar format. The fun Diamond Mine Deluxe, for example, offers higher payouts for the same betting structure, plus has wild symbols substitutions for more winning combos.

To play Bonkers, players can place one, two, or three coins per bet. With coin sizes including 0.05, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 3.00, and 5.00, your bets can be as low as 0.05 or as high as 15.00.

Since betting three coins is the only way to unlock the highest jackpot, the minimum intelligent bet is really 0.15. The top jackpot is, after all, a much better deal statistically than the single and double coin jackpots.

The top jackpot for three red sevens, is worth 1,200 x your coin value. Therefore, assuming a player plays the max bet, they win 6,000 coins. The second highest jackpot is 2,000 coins, earned by three Red Sevens again, but this time for only two coins, at 400x your coin value.

By reducing your bet by 33%, the highest possible jackpot�s value falls by 66%. This is why it is so important to play all three coins in Bonkers online slots, each and every time. Let's take a closer look at the paytable for more detail.

The main attraction of the Bonkers slot machine is the free spins bonus round. In this game, you receive free spins with guaranteed wins. During these bonus spins, the reels fly in different directions and the machine goes crazy, hence the name, Bonkers.

Free spins trigger by achieving multiple Bonkers symbols on the payline. Two symbols will unlock three free spins, while three Bonkers symbols makes your bonus round last for ten spins. While in the bonus mode, you cannot win extra free spins.

There's also a Bonkers progressive jackpot slots game. In this version, the progressive jackpot replaces the 1,200 coin jackpot on the paytable. Therefore, again, if you choose to play this game, making three-coin bets is absolutely required to have a chance at winning the progressive.

RTG games are licensed in Curacao, meaning there's limited access online. US players have free reign at RTG online casinos, but other regions will have less joy. Not mobile-optimised, but you can play on a smartphone through a web browser that supports flash.

There's a play for free option, but there are more exciting slots to play for free. Bonkers is a game best played to chase the progressive jackpot. Therefore, play for real money and play at max bets, if you want the best value return.
