Welcome to Fat Frankies, one of Play’n GO's newest online slot games and one that's got enough clout to serve you with a chance of winning cash prizes. While not a title with an overly complicated setup, consisting of 243 paylines, you’ll find that triggering bonus play comes with a surprise. Players will be randomly awarded 1 of 4 bonus features, with one of those features being a free spins feature. Needless to say, Fat Frankies is quite interactive and gives players a game with some visual entertainment on top of the chances to win cash. You feeling hungry? Time to see what Fat Frankies has for you to feast on.
Fat Frankies sounds like it could centre around a driver in the Italian mafia. Rather, Fat Frankie is the owner of a food truck serving all your American-style favourites; burgers, hotdogs, fries, tacos etc. There hasn’t been a massive push for ground-breaking graphics with Fat Frankies, using the style of animation found in Family Guy and American Dad (inspiration), but it works pretty well on the 5 reels and 243 paylines. Play’n GO is the casino software studio that created this release and follows a flurry of online casino games coming out of this stable recently. It also makes a nice change from Play’n GO’s usual style of slots online, such as Ghost of Dead or Secret of Dead. As you can see, for a change there isn't the dark Egyptian theme that's been overused for going on three decades now.
One of the aspects that a high percentage of players will like about Fat Frankies is that this is one of a few online slot machines you'll find these days with medium volatility. This means that possible wins are quicker to land, but come with slightly lower values than higher volatility casino games. This is fine if you aren't playing to win huge but rather rake in lower, consistent wins. The lowest you'll be able to stake is 0.10, while the highest is 100.00 for those wanting to take thrills to the next level. Just to reiterate, the most you can possibly win, regardless of what you've chosen to wager is 6,000x your stake. Needless to say, the higher you wager, the bigger your potential win returns will be.
This is the area of the slot where the theme is quite apparent, as most of what Fat Frankie is serving gets served up as a symbol. In a little stroke of creativity, you'll find the lower paying symbols as soda cups, each with a playing card suit icon stuck on the front. The symbols that make higher value wins for 3, 4 and 5 of a kind combinations are the different meal options, being fries, tacos, hotdogs and burgers.
The wild in Fat Frankies is a pile of cash notes, and will substitute all regular symbols to possibly help form part of a winning combination. The only symbols the wild can’t act as is the Bonus and the star symbol.
This is an area where the slot really comes alive. Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols, which are traditionally known as scatter symbols, will trigger Frankie's Special. This is a sequence that sees 1 of 4 bonus features selected for you at random.
There's Burger Bonanza, where the grid will see only burger icons spinning. You get one spin, and each burger that lands adds another spin. Burgers stick to the reels, and at the end of it, all the values of the burgers are added together.
Flip the Tip is an interactive feature where you flip coins into Frankie’s tip jar, where the objective is to climb the prize ladder. The ultimate prize here is a possible 2,500x your stake.
Greasy Wilds sees the chef spilling grease on the reels to potentially cover 1 – 5 reels with wilds.
The last of the features you can receive is the 5 Star Spins, where players are awarded ten free spins. Star symbols fall here to add multipliers, while they also add extra spins to the round.
You'll definitely find Fat Frankie entertaining, especially once you get into the bonus features. If iGaming on slot machines for relaxation and light entertainment is your thing, then this could be the title for you. If going big and vying for potentially high volatility wins is more appealing, then we've also got other releases you may be interested in.
