The Flintstones by Playtech: Slot Review - "Yabba Dabba Do" with Fred and the gang!

Take a trip back in time to the Stone Age and hang out with the Flintstones!

This game is based on the popular cartoon show The Flintstones. I remember watching this show as a kid growing up so I was intrigued to see how Fred and the gang would fare in a slot game. For those that do not know The Flintstones then all you need to know is that they are a family living in tandem with Dinosaurs during the Stone Age period. The cartoon centres on two families, The Flintstones and the Rubbles and the show follows their daily escapades as they try to live a normal life but nothing is normal when you are living in Stone Age times!

This game has 5 reels with 1,024 ways to win and it includes a Free Games mode, Bedrock Bowling, and a Flintstones Rocky Ride feature.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that are up to 1,024 ways to win on each spin! This is quite impressive when you compare it to other slots as most of them usually range from 5 to 200.

The Wild symbol is illustrated by an image of Dino who is a purple dinosaur that is also the Flintstones cute pet. It substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus and Free Games symbols. It is the highest paying symbol in the game and if you land 5 of these symbols then you will be rewarded with a wonderful 1,000X times your line bet.

The Bonus symbol is depicted by a black bowling ball with three pins. If you land 3 of these symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 then you will trigger the Bedrock Bowling Bonus. This is a really fun game where you get to bowl with Fred and the more pins you knock down, the greater the prizes become. If you score a strike then you will get an extra throw and if you score a strike on a free throw then you will get a free throw and a nice multiplier.

The Free Games symbol is illustrated by the Flintstones house. If you get 3 of these symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 then you will activate the Free Games Feature. This will take you to a screen where you choose from one of the following Free Spins modes:

Dino Multiplier Free Games Feature – You will be given 10 Free Spins and Dino will dig for bones on every free spin. Each time he finds a bone then the Multiplier increases.

Great Gazoo Free Games Feature – You will be given 12 Free Spins and the strange alien known as the Great Gazoo will randomly transform other symbols into Wilds. The Great Gazzoo will also act as a Wild symbol in this feature.

Wilma Wild Free Games Feature – You will be given 5 Free Spins and Wilma will vacuum up any Wild symbols that appear on the reels after every free spin. All Wilds that are collected are then added to the reels for the final Ultra Spin.

A cool thing about all of these Free Games is that they can all be retriggered.

The last feature to mention is The Flintstones Rocky Ride. In this feature, Fred and Barney will pop up randomly in the main game and will rumble up some mystery symbols and win multipliers. A wheel will appear at the top of the reels and it will reveal a win multiplier that is awarded at the end of this feature. Fred and Barney will throw some mystery symbols on the reels with all mystery symbols turning into the same symbol to create wins. These wins are then multiplied by the wheel multiplier to give out a decent payout.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game is simply stunning to look at and to play. Hats off to Playtech for recreating this famous cartoon superbly. The whole experience feels like you are watching an episode of the show and it is a real pleasure to play. The symbols are beautifully designed and run along the wheels nice and smoothly.

The animations are great as symbols spring to life when a winning combination is formed. The music is excellent as the theme song of the cartoon plays in the background and it really transported me back in time to when I was a kid. You will also hear Fred and Barney speak sometimes, especially when you land a big win!

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has a massive 1,024 ways to win, an alright RTP of 95.45%, and a maximum payout worth 1,000X your stake.
