The Weather Man

Where would we be without the weather men and women, tirelessly and consistently presenting on screen to keep us dry and dressed in a seasonable fashion. Maybe, we’d just get a little wet, or otherwise grow accustomed to the fact that is rains here for over 106 days each year…yet for our in-house developers, the idea of the much-loved weather presented has spawned the theme for this excellent big money slot.

Just like Melon Madness Deluxe and Resident Evil Slot, The Weather Man slot is one of our own jackpot slots creations, and so you won’t find it available everywhere online. Instead, this 9 payline, 5 reel modern day classic is best enjoyed right here at PartyCasino, where you can take advantage of the huge progressive jackpots on offer.

The reels are made up of weather-appropriate symbols, and there’s plenty of icons you’ll recognise from your daily weather update. Whether it’s sunny, rainy, snowing, thunder and lightning, cloudy or windy, there will be symbols appearing on the reels to match. Line them up in winning combinations of three or more across any of the paylines, and you’ll stand to win something that should keep those weather blues at bay.

Behind the scenes, the payout percentage is at 95.00%, which represents just a 5% house edge as you spin. That puts this game into the top tier of all slots, and significantly higher in RTP terms than what you’d expect to find on the floor of your local casino.

The icing on the cake here, and perhaps the main reason this game proves so popular with repeat players, is the progressive jackpot setup – known, of course, as The Big One. The Big One is actually comprised of a number of individual progressive jackpots, forever increasing in value and just waiting to be won. With life-changing sums of money around the corner, plus the chance for decent wins of up to 1000x in the main game itself, there are plenty of reasons to take The Weather Man for a spin.

Feature Symbols

There are two wild symbols that can come into play as you spin through The Weather Man, and these have the effect of replacing any symbols that are otherwise missing from successful paylines. So if you’re one away from a winning line and a wild slots into place, congratulations – it’s time for a payout.

The first wild is the pot of gold, and two or more of these symbols appearing on the reels also adds an additional win to your balance – from 5 for 2x the symbol, up to 1000, the game’s highest win, for lining up 5 wilds across the reels. The wild is also a scatter symbol, and will also pay a scatter bonus where it’s not making up a payline – that runs from 4x to 100x wins, as well as triggering the bonus game.

During the bonus game, there’s another symbol that comes into play – the replicated wild, which is of course a picture of a cheery weather man. This symbol doesn’t attract any wild or scatter bonuses, but it behaves in the usual way by acting as a wildcard to help you make up those nearly-winning lines. This is especially useful during the bonus round, because you’re spinning for free, thus every time he appears, the titular weather man is helping make life easier for you by boosting your possible winnings from this round.

Bonuses & Jackpots

Three or more of the scatter/wild symbols in the main game triggers a free spins bonus, where you have the chance to collect any winnings from the free spins allocated. Of course, these are risk free, so anything you win in this round is added to your balance.

The main win available in the game comes from landing the 5 wilds on a payline, which stands to net you 1000x, although in practice, most of the time the best wins are to be had in the free spins bonus round.
