Slot Dunk Slots

For a slot quite unlike any other in the Octopus Gaming catalogue, why not take to the courts in Slot Dunk – a basketball-themed game featuring a whole menagerie of colourful cartoon characters.

With 5 reels and 20 adjustable paylines, the game operates like most other video slots in the software company’s range, but the addition of a unique bonus round and a maximum jackpot of 13,000x your line bet certainly see it dunk on the competition in terms of the prizes up for grabs.

Hoop Dreams

As with the majority of Octopus Gaming’s video slots, both the paylines and the bet sizes in Slot Dunk are fully adjustable, meaning players can choose from 1-20 active lines and a total bet of anywhere between $0.20 and $100. This makes the game suitable for both beginners and those wanting to risk a bit more on their spins, but whatever your bankroll, we’d recommend playing with all 20 paylines.

This will make it far easier to hit winning combinations, especially as all four of the game’s unique symbols payout for just two-of-a-kind. These wins range from 2x to 13x your line bet and are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of prizes, with that huge jackpot of 13,000x obviously the main incentive.

Given the bonus round is not triggered by a scatter symbol and must instead be activated on a valid payline, you also stand a far better chance of hitting this feature with all 20 paylines enabled – and this is certainly not something to be sniffed at given it can award up to 17,400x your bet per line.

Nothing But Net

Visually-speaking, Slot Dunk looks like something of a cross between the Warner Brothers movie Space Jam and a Coco Pops advert. As the name would suggest, the game is played out to the background of a basketball court, but that’s about the only predictable thing in the slot’s design.

The unique symbols on the reels, for instance, feature an ape, crocodile, elephant and tiger – who is the game’s jackpot icon – all showing off their b-ball skills, while the wild icon is a team of lipstick-donning hippo cheerleaders. The scatter symbol, meanwhile, depicts two gormless-looking fans (a rhino and a giraffe, naturally), while a basketball bonus icon completes a thoroughly strange line-up.

Of course, it goes without saying that the game’s audio remains consistent with the basketball theme, with a selection of crowd noises providing the background ambience and all the horns, buzzers and electric organs you’d typically find at a game greeting the various winning combinations.

From Downtown

One of the most enjoyable additions to Slot Dunk is the bonus feature which, in the game’s own inimitable style, sees players have to perform a half-time trick shot to rescue one of the cheerleaders. Activated by matching three or more consecutive basketball symbols on a winning payline, this feature transports players to a separate screen where they have to make their shot.

During the bonus round, players must simply choose an arrow to determine which angle they’ll make their basket from, with the ball then bouncing off a trampoline and ricocheting off a number of items. Each item you hit reveals a prize payout, with more rebounds resulting in more points and a huge 17,400x top award available if you’re lucky enough to release the cheerleader from her cage.

This fun feature is also complimented by a free spins bonus game that is activated whenever three or more “fan” scatter symbols appear anywhere on the gameboard. Achieving this will instantly reward players with 13 bonus spins, which is usually more than enough to re-trigger the feature and gain further free games. Indeed, although no prize multiplier is present during free spins, you will usually remain in this mode for long enough to netsome significant prize payouts along the way.

Slam Dunk

With its unique, visually striking theme, a range of appropriate sound effects and a really imaginative bonus feature, there’s no doubt Slot Dunk offers enough to capture players’ imagination. Although the almost childish graphics won’t be to everyone’s taste, the maximum regular jackpot of 13,000x your line bet is something we can all get behind and should see plenty of new players take to the courts in the hope of sinking that lucrative trick-shot.
