Bollywood Movies

We have now given the Bollywood story slot machine a spin. This one is really well made, and it offers a new take on the beloved theme, which feels fresh. I like the larger-than-life character of the slot machine, which doesn't take itself too seriously. The machine understands that money is at stake, but it makes the whole thing feel fun, and that's what these slot machines are there for.

About The Slot Machine

Bollywood Story is a vibrant 5-reel slot by NetEnt with 3 rows and 9 paylines. The theme of the slot—with the title, you can already guess it—Bollywood, and the classic love story. A young couple desperately trying to be together, even though they're not even close in class. Here, the girl's parents oppose the marriage. They think he's not good enough for their daughter. They also oppose it on grounds of class. They don't think it can work because this young man is from a different social class.

This theme has appeared in numerous Bollywood films throughout history; we can only hope that NetEnt will give players an ending as satisfying as the ones in those aforementioned films. Input sound and music that fits the Indian theme perfectly have also been provided. Moreover, all the characters from the saga serve as symbols in this slot.

Bets & Winnings

As always, before you start playing, it is important to set your bet per spin. In Bollywood Story, the player chooses both the betting level, which ranges from 1 to 10, and the coin value, which ranges from 0.01 to 1.00.

Because the slot machine has only 9 active paylines, the phrases you can bet on range from 9 coins to less than $1 per spin, if you're being really careful. To optimize your winning potential, bet as if you've reached the limit level of 10; this and maxing out your coin value pushes you to a wild $900 per spin. Everything in between is a safe bet for any level of player.

Should you wish to have the slot machine do the work of spinning a specified number of times all by itself, NetEnt has added that capability, too. You can also have the reels stop just when you want for a spin that has just started, which many players tend to do instead of starting and stopping the game for themselves. That or NetEnt is just very polite to trigger-happy players.

Functions

Bonus features can differ greatly from slot to slot, and Netent seldom opts to debut new slots that are lacking in either the potential for bonuses or the other features that make slots interesting. However, this must be tempered, so as not to make landing any feature round too much of a gimme, with the result being that a slot increasingly functions as an advertisement for certain forms of entertainment. On the Bollywood Story slot machine, you can run into free spins and Wilds.

Free spins

One feature that is continually appreciated by online slot players is the coveted characteristic that signals the onset of a bonus round of Free spins. To activate these, help can not only be enlisted from the game's bonus symbol, the Scatter, but also from the kind of Scatter that makes its home in Bollywood Story. For this slot, it just so happens that the exact positioning of the Scatter symbols is not at all important. What is important is that players manage to get 3 or more Scatters to signal the Free spins portion of the game.

The activation of various amounts of free spins is contingent upon the number of scatter symbols that appear on the playing field. It becomes even more delightful when we can also trigger more free spins through the appearance of 3 or more Scatters while already in the state of enjoying their free spins.

• 3 Scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 Scatters = 20 free spins
• 5 Scatters = 30 Free spins

Symbols

Icons in the Bollywood Story slot machine embody the typical scenario of a loving pair whose parental units have resisted their union. There's no shortage of these plots in Bollywood films, thanks to the medium's near-infinite runtime. Like any good pair of star-crossed lovers, the couple in the game is pursued by both male and female parental types. Gamers, like moviegoers, get to see the chase from both sides.

Strong symbols

In the game, with the exception of the two bonus symbols, the strong symbols are mainly the game's main characters. The 'Bollywood story' sign is the strongest symbol and can generate 1,000 coins for a combination of 5. The girl has the second highest value and generates 750 coins for the same combination, followed by her dearest who can give away a win of 500 coins. The girl's parents have the lowest values of the strong symbols and give winnings of 400 and 300 coins each for a combination of 5.

Weak symbols

The game has some rather classic card symbols that are sometimes used to represent low-value wins in a few online slot machines. Although the letters A, K, Q, J, and the number 10 may appear somewhat muddied by the retro art of this slot, they shine as icons for possible wins of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 50, and 100 coins.

Floating Wild

These jokers work pretty much like usual Wilds in online slot machines. They can show up in both the game's main round and a bonus round with free spins. When they land, they turn regular symbols into Wilds. Obviously, that significantly boosts the chance of winning because Wilds can substitute for just about any other symbol except Scatters, which in Bollywood Story is another bonus triggering symbol.

One prominent aspect of this type of Wilds is that there will consistently be anywhere from 2 to 4 floating Wilds during each spin in the main game round. When you have worked your magic to activate the bonus round with free spins, there will invariably be 3 to 6 floating Wilds, which bumps up the winning odds even higher!

Summary

There are cloud slots in Bollywood, and for several reasons, it is an appreciated slot from slot provider Netent. There is much to love about this game, and why is that? The first aspect I want to analyze is the target group. I think all types of players can really enjoy this game. It is a game that has, as I said, so many very favorable components that if you are a player who plays high stakes, I think you can also really enjoy it, and for players that play a little calmer, I think it can also really give you what you want, because it definitely offers a lot of features that can give you as a player some nice, insane wins when you're playing the game, to either set off something that kind of sort of looks like a soundtrack to the game, or looking at the visual components. Free spins, for instance, are very much liked by all online slot players, and the fact that you can activate up to 60 free spins in a row goes in very few video slots!
