Peek-a-Boo

Review

The Peek-a-Boo video slot is a wonderful game created with a creepy albeit caricatured theme of a young boy ghost hunting. This slot uses the same interface commonplace with most Microgaming designed slot machines yet with originality in abundance thanks to the far-fetched theme featuring in a majority of different aspects within this game. The first thing that strikes you about this slot is that is quite like a 'junior' Ghostbusters. do you remember those classic films and cartoons? The logo and icons are all reminiscent of the 1980s children's favourites. The sound too plays an important part in the experience you can have at this slot. Instead of the usual casino background noises you usually find in many Microgaming traditional slot machines, you hear an eerie emptiness of swirling winds, hooting owls and a collection of other sounds to keep you second-guessing! The icons available to spin range from the traditional BARs to the more relevant Ghostbusters-type symbol, the child ghost hunter, and the 'Boo!' sign. This 'Boo!' sign also happens to be the wild symbol that also drops you the top award. The reel animation is the typical engrossing yet effective type to really place you in a casino's atmosphere yet when coupled with such brilliant illustrations and sounds, you will definitely be under the spell of one of the better traditional slot machines.

Though the slot isn't too different from slots such as Belissimo or Flying Ace, its original theme portrayed through numerous different ways in highly engaging slot, combined with great prizes and numerous ways to drop them make Peek-a-Boo an alternative to the modern slot that relies mainly or effects and devices that often lose the essence of great slots play.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol is the 'Boo!' icon. Spin it onto the reels and whenever possible it will substitute itself with all other icons to help produce you winning combinations. It also happens to be the one symbol that can drop you the best prizes. Match this combination across the first, second, third, fourth or fifth payline (providing they have been activated from your bet) and you will drop 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 or 6,000 coins respectively.
