Play Punk Penguin For Real Prizes
Punk Penguin Review
Print Studios slots are usually solid, and Punk Penguin is no exception. It takes place over a 5 x 5 grid game with 15 paylines, and the whole thing is themed on an island where the penguins are fully committed to punk music, with names like Johnny Rotten-Egg and Squid Icious. This gives the game enough personality that even quieter spins don’t feel completely dead. We see the return of SuperSpinners as well, sitting between reels and acting as multipliers when winning lines pass through them.
The three main features make for plenty of fun too: Stage Dive Wild, Mosh Pit, and Power Slide.
Stage Dive Wild sees a penguin pick a reel and drop down over 2-5 positions, turning the squares Wild while absorbing SuperSpinners to attach a multi. Mosh Pit throws down a giant symbol onto the grid with the possibility for up to 5 symbols within to form winning lines, and Power Slide is more dynamic again, with a penguin skating across the reels, picking up SuperSpinners and redistributing them around the board.
The base game can feel quiet at times, but the three features are often worth it whenever they hit, and the free spins are constant excitement and chaos. This game has a great soundtrack, and just a fun vibe overall.
Pros
- Unique theme and vibe
- Quirky bonus features bring a feeling of excitement
- SuperSpinners can multiply standard wins in the base game
Cons
- High volatility so can produce dry spells
- Limited bonus buy options
How To Play
- Choose your bet size and start spinning.
- Aim to land wins on the 15 paylines from left to right. If your win crosses any SuperSpinner values, those numbers are used as multipliers.
- The Stage Dive Wild can trigger randomly, covering 2-5 squares on a reel. This makes all covered spaces act like Wilds, plus a multiplier will be attached if there are any SuperSpinner values to absorb.
- The Mosh Pit feature can also trigger randomly, adding a 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, or 5 x 5 square to the grid. This square contains up to 5 symbols, opening up the possibility for winning lines with these symbols.
- Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters triggers 8, 10, or 12 free spins. Here, the above two special features can land, as well as Power Slide. This is where the Guitarist Penguin travels across the reels picking up the SuperSpinners and redistributing them.
- Apply an Adjustable Scatter Boost to increase the chances of spinning into the Free Spins. Buy the Free Spins outright for 94x your play amount.
Bonus Symbols
- Stage Dive Wild: A penguin randomly slides from the top row down, covering 2-5 squares on one reel. Each square functions as a Wild and any SuperSpinners are absorbed, applying a multiplier.
- Mosh Pit: A square of 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, or 5 x 5 containing up to 5 symbols lands randomly. Any of the contained symbols can be used to create wins over the spaces that the square covers.
Bonus Features
- Free spins round: Similar to the base game, but you pick from Stage Dive Wild, Mosh Pit, and Power Slide before the feature starts and your choice persists for the whole round.
- Ante bet: Turning this on increases your chances of spinning into the free spins. You can set likelihood/price using the sliding the scale.
- Buy the bonus: Purchase the free spins round for 94x your wager.
- Hit frequency: 1 in 4.46 spins.
- Max win: 20,000x.
SweepsPlays Verdict
- This is a really fun slot – that’s mainly down to the unique, colorful theme and the 3 bonus features: Stage Dive Wild, Mosh Pit, and Power Slide.
- However, it can feel a little dry at times in the base game. The RTP is middling at 96.31%.
- Still, the rewards are there to be had, especially in the bonus round, and the max win of 20,000x gives plenty to aim for.
