Bully4U Slots
Bully4U is a super simple 3-reel, 5-line archery-themed video slot. Released in 2011 by Realistic Games, the non-progressive slot is available to play on a range of devices, including iPad, iPhone, PC and Android, hence these slots perfect for the best mobile casino slots. Like all 3-reelers, the title awards wins for matching combinations of three consecutive symbols, from left to right, on any active payline.
You don’t need to be an archery expert to play Bully4U; indeed, I doubt it will even remotely improve your chances of forming wins. The title, which takes place on a standard 3x3 grid, is a throwback to an earlier era of casino slots, characterised by fruit, bells and BARs. In fact, the game doesn’t even have any music – the only sound is the clicking of reels as they come to a stop. Nevertheless, this is a slot from which it’s possible to extract a fair bit of fun.
Set-up and Win Lines
The win lines in Bully4U are fixed, meaning five are in play at all times. The pay-lines are easy to follow: win lines form diagonally, starting in the upper or lower left corners, and horizontally on all three lines. The maximum pay-out during any one game is 500x the stake, and the expected return for the game is 95.20%. Needless to say, the actual return to a player during any given session can vary widely in either direction.
Bully4U is perfect for both beginners and seasoned veterans. Stakes can be as low as 0.25 or as high as 25, and numerous coin values are supported. Regulate your bet by clicking on the up and down arrows in the old-fashioned machine housing at the bottom of the screen. An AutoPlay function is also available, allowing you to play 10, 25, 50, 100 or 500 automatic spins. You can choose to halt the AutoPlay mode when any win reaches 125, 250, 500, 1,250 or 2,500 credits.
The 3x3 reel grid appears against an archery board backdrop, with concentric circles in various colours and three arrows embedded in the board. The attention to detail is noteworthy here, as there are realistic pockmarks studded in the board, as though it has been in use for some time.
Because Bully4U is a Real 2 Reel slot, you can zoom out of the game whenever you like. By doing this, you get to see a full view of the land-based casino, where various other games can also be found. Zooming out will also give you a full view of the different pay-outs available in the slot. Neat!
Look Out for the Lucky 7
The lucky 7 is the highest-paying symbol in the game, with three-of-a-kind combinations awarding you 100x your stake amount. Three BAR symbols on an active line awards 40x, while three melon icons pays 30x. A trio of bell symbols rewards you with 20x, and three grapes pays 10x. Blueberries and oranges pay 5x your stake. Finally, a winning combination of three cherries or three lemons furnishes you with 3x your stake.
Bully4U Bonus
Although there is no wild symbol (or scatter, or free spins) in the Bully4U slot, there is a bonus…
The Bully4U Bonus is triggered when any symbol is entirely surrounded by another symbol. In other words, if an icon on the central reel is surrounded by one and the same symbol on all sides. Should this happen, you’ll be awarded a Full House. In other words, all eight other symbols will transform to match the one located in the middle. Needless to say, this triggers a hefty pay-out, as you’ll win on all five paylines at once. The pay-out could be as high as 500x (providing the lucky 7 symbol is the one stuck in the middle). However, one wonders how often this feature triggers…
The game 4 u?
Bully4U isn’t for everyone. Given how congested the gaming market is, with new video slots appearing on an almost daily basis, it’s tough for a game to stand out. Bully4U is a solid 3-reeler with a nice bonus feature, but it’s hard to overlook the lack of wild and scatter symbols (and the attendant free spins the latter usually provides). If you’re especially fond of 3-reelers, and are touched by the old-school symbols, give it a go; otherwise, you might be better looking elsewhere.
