Fixer Upper Slot
If you've always fancied building your fortune by fixing-up an old house – then why not try a bit of online slot game DIY in Rival Gaming’s Fixer Upper!
However, even if there's not a bone on your bone in your body that ever wants to do a spot of DIY, this game is still worth playing – because you might just win enough money to pay somebody else to do all those jobs your spouse keeps nagging you to do.
There's also lots of ways to win that sort of money, with a special Bonus Round, Handywoman Free Spins, Wild Ladders, and lots of themed prize Symbols.
Just one word of caution – turn the music off! Because, if you don't, you're going to feel like hammering a nail straight through your head after about 30 seconds. But, once you've got past the music, this is a really fun game to play.
All In A Day's Work
Spinning-in 3 or more Red Wrench Icons is the way to trigger the potentially big-money Bonus Round, and you'll need all of your DIY skills to complete a series of tasks to win the money. You may have to paint some walls, do some building work, or show your skills as a plumber, or you may even have to rid your new property of Gophers – but, hey, that's all in a day's work.
Wild Ladders will also help you climb-up the prize pay table, and hitting 4 on a pay-line will win you 888 coins, whilst hitting all 5 on a pay-line will win you a terrific 8,888 coins. Wild ladders can also substitute for other symbols to make more prizes, and each wild that appears in the win-line acts as a multiplier – so 2 will double your prize, and so on.
However, during a Free Spin Bonus, wild prizes are at least tripled, but each additional wild still increases the prize x1, so 2 wilds will multiply the prize x4. Free Spin Bonuses are triggered by the appearance of 3 or more handywoman Icons, with 3 triggering 10 free spins, 4 triggering 20 free spins, and 5 triggering a serious 50 free spins.
Tool Kit
Prizes that you can win in both normal and free spins are mainly tools, and the top prizes you can win for lining-up 5 symbols are 60x your line-bet for hammers, nails and saws, 75x for drills, 100 for tape measures, 125x for nail guns, 200x for paint brushes, 300x for paint, and 400x for shovels. There's also a prize of 500x your line-bet for lining-up 5 handymen, and lots of smaller prizes for lining-up 3 or 4 symbols of any of the prize icons increasing your winning odds.
There's lots of nice graphic touches incorporated into the game including the copper-pipe framework that houses the reels, and the tool-box spin button, whist some of the winning animations the winning symbols perform (such as the hammer hammering a nail) add an extra fun element to celebrations.
The staking is also pretty simple and suits low limit players, and you just have to combine 1-20 lines, 1 to 10 coins, and coin-values of 0.01 to 0.25 to make your perfect total-bet.
Just like when you buy any old house, you have to invest some time and money in it to reap the rewards, and with a hardworking Bonus Round, Wild Ladders, and Handywoman Free Spins to look forward – hopefully your investment will pay-off!
