Review

The What’s Cooking video slot machine is a truly spectacular game. Although not as technically superior in terms of devices used (the animations are fairly simple compared to the likes of Microgaming’s Hitman) What’s Cooking surely makes up for any of its short comings with its wonderful interface and appealing game qualities. A large coin value range from 0.01 to 5.00, where up to ten coins can be placed upon each of the 30 lines allows you access to one of the most extensive betting ranges available. The usability of this slot is even more apparent through the selection of up to 30 lines across the reels. Coupled with the smooth, rapid reel spins and entertaining animations, not to mention the numerous prizes on offer, What’s Cooking is a brilliant way to while away some spare time.

There are three main icons you will want to spin across the reels, the Chef (the scatter), the Oven (the wild) and the Cook-Book (the bonus round trigger). The Chef icon can win you up to 50 times your total bet (which is a huge prize sum of 75,000.00 from a max bet when coins are worth 5.00). The wild icon is more traditional but can still drop you a line prize of a 10,000 times line multiplier. Reveal the bonus icon on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously and you could drop many more prizes through the bonus feature.

The numerous ways of winning through this slot are so wide in number that they can at times feel endless! Any gamer who likes to be entertained whilst spinning to win, should seriously consider ‘What’s Cooking’. The background radio music (as if you were actually in the chef’s kitchen), sounds that are a mixture between the usual casino bleeps, and the more relative kitchen noises, the humorous icon animation, and the brilliant extras to help you win, all contribute to a wonderful slots experience.

Progressive Jackpots

Like many games before it, What’s Cooking includes the now legendary, Playtech progressive jackpot called the Dollar Ball lottery. Before you spin for the slots prizes you can choose to activate this side lottery game for 1.00 per spin. You choose five numbers from 1- 49 (or hit the random pick button) and as you conduct your game spin, the lottery happens simultaneously. If you get 1, 2 or 3 numbers correct you will win 1.00, 2.00 or 25.00 respectively. Get four and you will win 1% of the jackpot whereas all five will drop you the whole jackpot yourself.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol is the kitchen Oven. Spin 2, 3, 4 or 5 across a line and win a 10, 100, 1,000, or 10,000 times line multiplier, respectfully. Alternatively use the wild symbols special powers to substitute itself wherever possible to create more winning combinations from seemingly empty spins.

Scatter Symbol

The Chef is the scatter symbol. Reveal 3, 4 or 5 of his icon across the reels after a spin and you will multiply your full wagered bet (from that spin) by 5, 10 or 50 times respectfully.

Bonus Round

To reach the bonus round you will have to spin the Cook-Book icon onto reels 1 and 5 at the same time. You will then be taken to a kitchen where you are given ingredients to make yourself a marvellous sandwich! You can be as fancy and pretentious as you like (octopus and pesto…yuck!) or as simple and tasty as you want (bacon and ketchup…hmmmmm).

The meat decides how many free spins you shall get, whereas the topping/sauce, determines the multiply attached with the free spins. Either way, getting into the kitchen and making a sandwich which will always guarantee you free spins must be a welcome break!

Free Spins

To gain free spins, read above to get to the bonus round. The results from the bonus round determine the amount of free spins you will be allocated, and the multiplier your prizes will subject to. Remember the meats determine the amount of spins whereas the sauce decides the multiplier.

(Handy Hint: We chose the Pig, and Ketchup for a delightful bacon sandwich! However we only got 3 free-spins with a double multiplier. It may always be random, but why not try a more adventurous topping to see what you can achieve)
