Bollywood Story Slot review

A slot machine that appears to be dedicated to the Indian market, Bollywood Story will appeal to anyone that enjoys the movies released there as well.

Bollywood Story comes from NetEnt and it’s a game that will offer a story that’s inspired by the sort of thing you’d see in a Bollywood movie. The Indian version of Hollywood produces a huge number of movies each year, and they have a certain style, quite different from what you’d see in the west. The story that they’re telling here seems to be one of romance, with the parents of the girl not agreeing to her love for a boy (or the other way around). The images start off with the logo of Bollywood Story, continue with the girl and the boy, and then with her angry parents. It ends with several playing cards, each one in its own color and an Indian inspired design. The cartoon style graphics are to be appreciated in this case, the slot machine looks impressive.

Though it might not look like it, this is a simpler game layout wise, with 9 lines added to the 5 reels used. You get Floating Wild symbols as features, along with scatters or free spins, and that’s about it for the extras. Wins of $10,000 may come your way via the game’s individual combinations.

You might not have the option to pick how many lines are in play, so you’re forced to wager on all 9, but at least there is plenty of variety in the line bet’s range. It starts off at the minimum level of $0.01 and can go up to $10. Since 9 lines are in play, the total range will be $0.09 to $90.

A defining feature for Bollywood Story is the Floating Wild. The symbol is added to the reels each round, covering 2 to 4 random positions each time. These are guaranteed wilds basically, which you may use to replace any type of symbol, as long as it’s for a regular combo (scatters don’t count).

The Sapphire Stones scatters are triggers that you use to get inside the free spins. Their number depends on how many symbols got them to start up, so 3 to 5 scatters gets you 10 to 30 free spins. Between 3 and 6 Floating Wilds are used at this point, making the free spins more profitable than the base game.

Despite the unique feature that is the Floating Wild, the slot doesn’t feel too complex and with its RTP of 96.1% and Bollywood theme it will give enough players a good reason to check it out.
