Andy Capp Slot

If you’re not instantly familiar with Andy Capp, he’s the hapless hero of a long-running comic in the Daily Mirror. First appearing in 1957, he’s the creation of cartoonist Reg Smythe. Bringing a daily chuckle for over 60 years, he’s something of a national institution. So it makes sense then that Andy Capp has finally been adapted into slot form, with Andy Capp slot from Blueprint Gaming.

This is a progressive jackpot slot, modelled on the cartoon character and his somewhat dysfunctional life – he’s jobless, feckless, and enjoys a drink. So expect to find the reels, graphics and bonuses themed around Andy, his life and his exploits. The result is an online slot that’s enjoyable to play, coupled with as many as five different bonus games to keep the action flowing.

Just like their Ted slot game, the graphics are fairly simplistic, and mimic the style of Andy Capp cartoons well. This is a five reel slot, with a standard reel construction that is 3 positions high. Across the reels there are variable paylines ranging from 20/40, depending on the stage of the game you’re playing. Payouts are awarded in the usual way, with players rewarded for lining up matching combinations of symbols on any of the recognised paylines. You can find full details of the different paying combinations at any time from the game’s paytable – you’ll find it by clicking the menu button in the bottom left.

Players can choose how much they want to be, ranging from just £0.20 per spin. For those with a higher per spin budget, there’s as much as £400.00 maximum stake spins available. When you consider that the base game jackpots runs to 500x, and there’s also a shot at the progressive with every lucky spin, it’s easy to see how a few spins on Andy Capp can add up.

The RTP of Andy Capp stands at 92.70%, which is below what you’d expect from a regular video slot. By comparison, these average around 95%, which means they notionally payout at a higher percentage than Andy Capp.

However, the lower RTP here takes into account the effect of the progressive jackpot, which links up across a number of other Blueprint Gaming titles. Players have the chance to spin a wheel in order to see whether they win a progressive prize, which can mean an instant win of a significant amount of money.

Feature Symbols

There are two feature symbols in Andy Capp – the wild symbol and the Andy Capp bonus symbol. The wild symbol is a cartoon purple and red, lifted straight from the Andy Capp colour pallette. This replaces any and all other symbols you need it to, to deliver or enhance combination wins as you spin through the game.

The bonus symbol shows a hiccupping Andy Capp inside a target symbol. Three or more of these anywhere on the reels triggers the bonus feature, where players have the chance to take part in one of five different mini features.

There are also reel modifiers that can appear at random during the base game – including Dream Women, Colossal Ale and Andy’s Wild Dream. These will add additional wilds to the game, or upgrade a random symbol in the case of the Dream Women feature.

Bonuses and Jackpots

The bonus feature is split into five different rounds, each offering their own combination of free spins, multipliers and enhancers.

The Jolly Riveter Super Bonus offers free spins as well as a multiplier, which increases for every additional Andy symbol collected. The beer taps at the end of the round can restart the feature, or allow you to bank your winnings and return to the main game.

The Boozer Free Spins round gives 10 free spins, with all wilds landed during the round coming back for one final super spin at the end of the feature. Beer taps are also in play at the end of this round, so you can on occasion get multiple shots at boosting your bankroll.

On Me ‘Ead sees Andy trying his level best to score goals, as you play through unlimited spins with added sticky wilds. The round finishes up when Andy finally receives the red card.

The Bookies Bonus gives players the chance to pick, for both the volatility and the multiplier to be in place during the feature. There’s also the chance for a big win here if you land the three trophies during the round.

Finally, the Let’s Play Darts bonus allows Andy a three-dart shot at delivering a multiplier for your game, up to a maximum of 180x for the duration of the round.

The progressive jackpot comes with a spin of the wheel to determine whether or not you’re a winner, and which of the available jackpots you’re able to win. Even if you fall short of the big prize, you’ll still likely have secured some decent wins along the way.
