Scary Friends

Scary Friends has a touch of Monsters Inc. about it, the smash-hit children’s animated film of 2001. While the two aren’t related, you’ll see what I mean as soon as you meet the game’s central characters. The idea is that you’re completing combinations of furry monsters across the reels, with the help of your so-called Scary Friend – a fluffy but friendly monster propping up the reels.

The cute factor is definitely part of what this game is all about, and the graphics make for a fun twist on the usual concepts you see underpinning online slots games.

Developed by Rabcat, a games development partner of Microgaming who also created Game of Thrones and Mega Moolah, this is a 5-reel, 25 payline slot, with payouts of up to 2,000x available in the base game for the luckiest of spinners. With bets available from 0.01 right up to 50.00 a spin, it can be a medium variance slot at times, so it pays to have your wits about you. However, with Free Spins, the Scary Friends bonus, and the ever-appealing Gamble function thrown into the mix, this is one game any slots fan should consider taking for a spin.

Free Spin Bonus

The furry monster behind the Free Spins icon is the chap you need to look out for. When you see three or more of these appearing on your reels, you’re in line for the Free Spins bonus. The number of free spins awarded is dependent on the number of times the creature to the side of the reels bounces – expect anywhere between 3 free spins and 14, depending on how bouncy he’s feeling. These free spins are obviously risk-free for you, and anything you win in the Free Spin bonus is added to your bankroll.

Scary Friends Bonus

There’s also another bonus to watch out for. When you line up three or more of the Scary Friends bonus symbols, you trigger another bonus game. Four monsters are sat on a wheel that’s about to start spinning – all you have to do is choose who you think will cling on the longest. The more time your monster clings on for, the more chance your bonus will have to grow and grow. It’s a fun break away from the main reels, and a good chance to add a decent bonus into the mix whenever this round is triggered.

To Gamble or Not To Gamble?

Scary Friends also benefits from the Gamble feature at the end of every successful spin. Essentially, if gives you the chance to double or quits on the draw of a card – a simple Red or Black style game where you’re calling out the colour of the next card in a sequence. This is an elective feature so you don’t have to gamble. But for some, it might prove difficult to resist the temptation to go all in, especially with larger wins, in the hope of doubling up for an even more significant contribution to your bankroll.
