La Furgo Hippy Slots
Hit the open road and live the easy life with La Furgo Hippy, a groovy slot machine which promises lots of exciting AWP style bonus action.
Designed by Grupo MGA – a Spanish software company that has a knack for creating great little 3-reel slots with a novelty twist – this game is sure to attract punters who like their games to be a little bit silly when it comes to the theme. With a standard jackpot prize of 3 coins, high rollers might be slightly underwhelmed by the prize range of the game but there is a progressive jackpot on offer for punters who are lucky enough to make the right spin at the right time.
Be Happy, Be a Hippy!
The hippy movement is synonymous with peace, counter-culture and sticking it to the man. So, it might seem a bit incongruous for a game that is about winning money to take on a groovy sixties theme. Then again, we're pretty sure that even the most radical of flower-power practitioners had a bit of cash in their pockets – how else could they afford those cool VW camper vans?
“Furgo” is the Spanish word for “van”, so it is no surprise that the iconic hippy vehicles drive the theme of this slot machine. The reels themselves are even set within a decorated van that is cruising along a beautiful seaside scene.
The symbols on those reels are taken straight from the handbook of retro slot machines, presenting a range of fruit icons such as oranges, plums, lemons, and strawberries. There are also some colorful gems just to give the game a bit of glitz and glam to counteract the chill grooviness.
3-Reel Hippy Van Action
It's not often that we say this, but this 3-reel slot machine is not the easiest game to play. The reason for this is thanks to the fact that the game takes after a typical AWP style slot machine – the kind that you would find in a traditional British pub or arcade room. With this in mind, the game play has a bit more to it than simple spinning action.
In its simplest form, La Furgo Hippy is a 3-reel slot machine with 1 pay line and players simply have to decide whether to place 5, 10 or 15 coins on each spin (those coins are worth 0.20 each). All of the possible winning combinations are listed on the main game screen, with the relevant prizes highlighted according to the chosen wager. So, if you were to play with 5 coins, you will be able to win up to 1,000 coins, while players who place 10 coins could win 2,000 coins and punters who go all out with 15 credits will be able to find wins worth 3,000 credits.
Admittedly, these aren't the biggest returns in the business. But the slot machine promises plenty of extra chances to win with a couple of special symbols beginning with a wild “Make Love Not War” icon that will replace all other icons on the reels.
There is also a hand peace sign that will activate a simple pick 'em style bonus game for additional chances to boost your betting balance. This AWP style game will also hold and nudge the reels to hopefully turn a non-winning spin into a prize paying combination of symbols.
Up Your Game
There is plenty groovier bonus action to get stuck into with this slot machine. In fact, there is a whole other set of reels which will up the ante with extra winning chances and new bonus game possibilities. These “upper reels” can only be accessed if players have collected some bonus points, either by finding the bonus peace symbols or risking their base game wins for bonus points.
Upon entering this new set of reels, spinners will notice that there are 5 pay lines and some new icons to line up for more wins worth up to 3,000 credits. Some of the icons on these reels will give players the chance to win prizes through some fun and simple side games:
Bonus ships: three ship icons across a pay line on the upper reels will trigger a wheel of fortune bonus game.
Bonus guitars: this musical side game allows players to groove out to potential wins of 1,000 credits.
Bonus houses: find three house icons on a pay line and you will be taken to a camper van racing side game.
You may be thinking that this classic slot couldn't offer anything else, but you would be wrong. That is because La Furgo Hippy has a very radical progressive jackpot that will be awarded at random during any base game or upper reels spin.
A Classic With a Twist
La Furgo Hippy is not your average 3-reel classic. The slot machine is colorfully designed and filled with plenty of typical fruit symbols, but the game play promises a lot more than some straightforward spins, with four different bonus games and an upper set of reels for extra winning opportunities. Plus, with a progressive jackpot on offer, there is every chance that lucky punters could afford their very own VW camper van!
