Wacky Races - partycasino

Slots fans of a certain age will instantly recognise Wacky Races, the hit cartoon that has been enjoyed across the world for decades. A Hanna Barbera production, Wacky Races is still played on dedicated cartoon-channels today, as well as being the inspiration behind extensive character-based merchandise – with everything from lunchboxes to plush toys, cars, and now – it would appear – slots games.

Wacky Races from Bally is a slots game based on the TV original, although it’s quite clearly not aimed at kids! It’s more for those who once upon a time were fans of the show, and perhaps remember the characters and their antics from their childhood. But there’s nothing childish about this game, which gives players the opportunity to play for real cash prizes.

Once you look beyond Dick Dastardly, Mutley and the host of other characters from the show, you’ll discover this is a fairly typical slots layout, with five reels across the board. These reels are all four positions high, which allows for 20 reel positions in view at any time – more than enough to get the full run of character symbols on the board, in addition to bonus symbols, high card symbols and other impressive features.

Coins range from £0.01 to £1.00, and players can adjust their line bets according to their budget and their aspirations. The maximum jackpot is just 5x, but when you consider there is scope to vary your stake, and players can also expect more frequent wins that with higher paying slots, this does balance out.

There’s also the small matter of the payout percentage, or RTP – this stands at 96.03%, which is comfortably in the top echelons of all slots by payout. Effectively, this is a house edge of under 4%, which translates into a pretty good deal for your slots play.

If you were a fan of Wacky Races back in the day, or even if you just fancy taking this slot for a spin to see what it’s like, Wacky Races from Bally has a lot to offer.

Feature Symbols

There are two separate wild symbols in Wacky Races – the Dick Dastardly symbol, and Dick Dastardly and Muttley. Dick Dastardly replaces all except Wacky Races, Wacky Races wild, Gruesome Twosome, Heart or the Dastardly & Muttley symbol. Similarly, Dastardly & Muttley replaces all, except Wacky Races and the Wacky Races wild.

Otherwise, these symbols work as normal wilds, completing combinations that run through them of any type.

The Wacky Races symbol is the bonus symbol, and you need to land three or more of these on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger the feature. This can present as one of a number of mini-games, with an optional selection of enhancements open to players choosing the ‘Better Bonuses’ feature. This adds 50% to your total stake per spin, but may be well worth it, in light of the extra bonus features available.

Bonuses & Jackpots

The bonus round starts with a race, to decide which of the bonus features you’re going to get. This can be as follows:

  • Creepy Coupe, 2-3 free spins (or up to 6 with the enhancement), plus up to 11 wilds.
  • Penelope Pitstop, 12 free spins with wild reels, triggered by collecting hearts
  • Mutley Wacky Scrapyard, pick-me bonuses with five levels of prizes to be won
  • Professor Pat Pending Wheel, wheel of fortune-style wheel spinning bonus
  • Peter Perfect Trophy, a pick-me bonus with instant cash prizes on offer

You can also benefit from a number of other bonus features at various stages of the game, including random wilds, wild reels, and mystery stacked reels, all of which help keep the gameplay action flowing at pace.

Play Wacky Races

True to the cartoon original, Wacky Races slot can sometimes feel a bit chaotic, with so many different features aside from the main base game, and so many different ways to win from each spin. This adds up to create a slots experience that is truly unforgettable, and unlike anything you’ve ever spun before.

If you have fond memories of Wacky Races, you’d probably enjoy giving this slot a try. With a bit of luck, you might even win something. It’s available here for your spinning pleasure, at our online casino website PartyCasino.
