The Smashing Biscuit Slot

Graphics

Pear Fiction Studios created this slot exclusively for Microgaming and we’re glad that it did. We get to see three brothers jamming in the garage.

Tiny, Crunchy and Soggy Biscuit (the less said about that name the better), look like characters we’d see on a Nickelodeon kids show. The game is set in their garage as they get our slots ready to rock with some jamming tunes to listen to on each spin.

The main symbols on the reels are made up of Tiny, Crunchy and Soggy Biscuit, along with their Dad. The low value symbols appear in the form of Jack, Queen, King and Ace, but each are depicted as guitars, which makes them look a lot more impressive compared to most other slots!

Gameplay

Set across five reels and 20 paylines, playing The Smashing Biscuit is an easy, enjoyable experience that benefits from random bonuses and a funky Free Spins round.

At random times, Dad can walk onto the screen and click his garage clicker (a Dad’s favourite tool – especially if he’s closing the garage door) and add to the Multiplier bar on the left. This increases for every win, leading to some generous payouts, especially if we get the maximum x11 Multiplier. Each of the main band members pay out for five on a payline, with Tiny Biscuit proving that big things come in small packages, giving us 25 times our stake.

The Scatter symbol is depicted as a Battle of the Bands logo – when we get three or more of these on reels one, three and five, we trigger the Free Spins. Our Biscuits get into a van and head to a new screen. The boys take to the stage on the right and we get a new reelcase on the left. The Biscuits now act as Wilds and there’s a Free Spins symbol which can retrigger more spins if it lands on the reels. This isn’t just the gig of a lifetime for the Biscuit boys, it is for us too as this is the chance to really rake in the wins.

Verdict

The brains behind NetEnt may have thought it had cornered the market with rock slots like the studios Guns n Roses, which won awards galore upon its release.

But as The Smashing Biscuit proves…it’s a serious contender for rock slot extraordinaire. Three young lads and their generous dad (hey, that rhymes!) are the next big band to watch out for. More importantly, it’s the next big slot to play.
