Ballonies

Theme of The Game

Ballonies has the kind of theme that I for one haven’t seen before, which makes it a rarity these days, with so many other slots released by dozens of different developers. It’s based on balloons, the kind that people would make balloon animals out of, and then give them to kids to entertain them.

That’s exactly what you see on the reels of Ballonies, various jungle animals made out of balloons and poker card letters. It’s not the most impressive theme choice, or at least I wasn’t very happy with the outcome, but at least it is original.

Developer

IGT, as one of the largest developers of slot machines, both online and offline, has a lot of experience at creating games that attract players, and then keep them glued to their chairs. They do great feature wise in many of their games, and they allow high rollers to spend as much as they like, but they don’t always get the design right.

Ballonies is a title that was well made, but another one that they recently released, Stinkin Rich, is not as impressive. It can be a mixed bag, but there is no question that you will be happy with the other areas of the game, the features and the payouts.

How To Play It

To play the game, you decide how much your line bet should be, starting at $1 and going up from there. Since the number of paylines is at 20 all the time, you will have to spend at least $20 per spin to be able to play this slot machine.

The upper limit I’m not as clear on, as IGT seems to go well over $3,000 there, and I wasn’t able to see how high it goes. That should be good news for high rollers, which the game is clearly destined for, at least going by the minimum wager of $20.

I have no doubt that you will probably like the way the game was made, but you might not appreciate the fact that it looks like it was created with children in mind. It’s a bit childish looking, but the quality is still there. The options are all at the bottom, so you don’t have to go chasing after them.

Special Features

Among the features which you will discover in Ballonies there is one called Floating Reels. It’s quite normal in games these days, and it gives you additional wins during the rounds which already pay you something. New symbols are basically added to the reels, in the spots where other combinations formed that round.

The game has a wild symbol, in the form of a Hedgehog, which as usual will be useful if it lands in a position where it can act as a substitute. It doesn’t do it for the bonus or golden star symbols.

The free spins can be activated if you get the Balloon Bonus symbol, on the first three reels at the same time. You can’t retrigger this feature.

The best feature offered in Ballonies seems to be the Golden Star and its multiplier. It’s enough if you have this symbol somewhere on the first three reels, and all wins that round will benefit from its multiplier. It can be at 5x, 3x or 2x. If you have multiple Golden Stars, you get the multipliers from all of them to add up.

Maximum Payouts

Given the top payout of 1,000x, you shouldn’t expect much from the regular combinations of Ballonies. It might be able to go up to 15,000x, but only if you get all three Golden Star symbols to apply multipliers of 5x.

Summary

The features of Ballonies are quite a bit of fun, and I don’t doubt that you will appreciate those high multipliers, if they do come around. The biggest downside would be the presence of the childlike design.
