Friends

About a year ago and almost 10 years after the show aired its last episode, WMS has obtained the rights to transform the famous series into a fun and popular slot machine. For this new appearance of our favorite New Yorkers, the company used their best cabinet and most imaginative features to make the game as attractive as possible for TV show fans and all other players alike. Next to locking Wilds, multipliers and Free Spins, Friends also rely on four themed bonus games and multi-level progressive jackpot to make hunting for prizes a dynamic and exciting experience.

Friends Slot Characteristics

As with any good licensed game, there are lots of funny and legendary scenes from the show played in between the spins on curved 55 inch HD screens. Rachel, Ross, Joey, Phoebe, Chandler and Monica are there to deliver iconic one liners and give the gameplay a comical note in the spirit of the series. Not only them, but you will also find the Chick and the Duck, coffee cups, guitars and other items from the show included as one of the slot's high paying symbols. Bally's prized Alpha Pro 2 cabinet uses a surround sound system which makes the Friends theme song even catchier than we remember it to be, and Pro Sound chair aimed at making extended play sessions more comfortable.

In addition to multiple denominations, players can also choose pay-line configuration from a total of 40 ways to win over 5 vibrant reels. Bets go as high as 300 credits, with three wide-area progressive jackpots available only on max bet, and three smaller progressive prizes that can be won at any bet. These prizes can be accessed via Bally's trademark features like the U-Spin mechanic with virtual wheel and the Game-in Game bonus.

Friends Slot Features

Which of the features you get to play is determined by the Wheel Bonus. When three bonus symbols land on reels 2, 3 and 4, the virtual wheel starts spinning to reveal one of the following options: Thanksgiving bonus, Wedding bonus, Party bonus, Bamboozled bonus and various credit prizes.

Each of the bonuses has its own set of symbols which are just slightly different variants of the main game images. Depending on the bonus, you can get win 10 free spins with benefits such as locking and walking Wilds, Mystery stacks or Mega stacks, a x3 multiplier or a picking game with three lesser progressive prizes - Hungry Monkey, Golden Mud-Hut and Paradise Pond.

Large progressive prizes can be won separately from the wheel bonus - you will need a full stack of the Friends symbol appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4 while betting max to score a corresponding jackpot.

Conclusion

Friends can be lots of fun, especially for fans of the hit series. There is plenty of bonuses to keep the gameplay interesting and diverse, although they do play similar to each other and sometimes you can't tell the difference. With a big prize pool and decent frequency of wins you can hope to get quite a few good hits on this branded Bally offering.
