Charlie Chance review

Theme and Storyline

This slot is themed around classic black and white animation.

Players will enter an underworld filled with mischievous devils and jagged stalactites. Treading carefully, players will help an ill-fated gent named Charlie navigate the hellish setting.

This is a fun slot for players who love whimsical animation, but also want a ghoulish vibe.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The cheerful classic soundtrack rollicks along adding a vintage mood. The reels spin and land with a satisfying click, and wins provoke a jingle of coins.

The animation style makes a successful attempt at imitating old- school cartoons of the 1930s. Though the setting is rendered in black and white, the symbols themselves are accented with colour. This ensures they stand out and look enticing.

The hapless Charlie character stands out on the reels, his brow dripping sweat. Players will see he clearly needs their help, especially after the grinning purple demons make an appearance.

A sultry yet devious-looking redhead also makes an appearance. She’s adorned with horns and flames hover in her hand, making it clear that she is the one in control.

The cavernous underworld setting effectively creates a sense of tension. The spooking walls come alive with shadows of demons, as well as spiderwebs. A playful sense of the macabre keeps it both creepy and fun.

The lower-paying symbols include card suits animated with thorny metal frames. They seem imprisoned in their reels.

Gameplay

Charlie Chance is a five reel, three row slot.

Players are awarded wins for landing matching symbols in adjacent reels, starting from left to right.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol.

When Wild symbols are part of a win, a multiplier will appear above the reel. That multiplier will be applied to any win on that reel. These multipliers may be x2, x3, and x5.

While players are in the base game, landing 2 Scatters will prompt a re-spin. The reels with Scatters will stay in place during this re-spin and any Scatters that land will trigger further re-spins. This will continue until no more Scatters land.

When players land 3 or more Scatter symbols, this will trigger the Free Spins feature. Depending on the number of Scatters landed, players will also be awarded an increasing number of multipliers.

During the Free Spins feature, a multiplier will appear over one reel and will be applied to any wins on that reel. These multipliers will increase in value should the Free Spins feature be prompted by a greater number of Scatter symbols.

During the Free Spins, any Wild symbols will stick to the reels, but change position for every spin.
