B.C. Bonus Slot Machine
Spin your way back into prehistoric times, where you will discover all sorts of weird and wonderful beasts, and hopefully a few cash prizes too. B.C. Bonus is a 5-reel game by Parlay Games (Concept Gaming) which has the potential to play 20 paylines, upon which spinners can line up a variety of primordial icons to win the game's 5,000x line bet jackpot.
Players can also enjoy some primeval spinning adventures with a number of special features including free spins, wild wins and a pick 'em bonus game.
Back to the Beginning of Time
The internet is full of slot machines which take players deep into the annals of history, but few of those games will take you back as far as B.C. Bonus does. Because instead of revealing an ancient civilisation such as the Romans, Mayans or Egyptians, this game will reveal the beginning of civilisation itself.
As the title of game would suggest, the reels are set way before the B.C. mark in the timeline of world history, revealing a prehistoric set of symbols within a hot, arid and harsh rocky landscape. Those icons include some prehistoric beasts such as the sabre-toothed cat, the woolly mammoth, the flying pterodactyl and a big old tyrannosaurus rex. And sharing the habitat with such fierce creature are a cave man and a cave woman who have crafted and discovered a series of tools to help them survive in such tough conditions with symbols that depict fire, bows and arrows, a lobster claw spanner and a car made from rocks.
Ok, so, this slot machine maybe isn't a very accurate representation of what life was like back in the day, and it's pretty common knowledge that dinosaurs and humans never shared the same environment. But that is all part of this game's novelty charm. In fact, it wouldn't be amiss to say that this is the Flintstones of the slot machine world with its cartoon aesthetic and wacky humour.
Slim Spinnings
B.C. Bonus by Parlay Games will pay out prizes whenever players line up matching icons upon active paylines. Punters can choose to play with as many as 20 paylines, or any lower quantity down to the minimum of 1 single paylines. As for the wagering options, players can choose three small coin values to place as a stake on each active line, they are: 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03.
However, it is possible to place anywhere between 1 and 5 coins on a line, making the maximum potential line bet worth 0.15. That would mean that the biggest possible total bet will be 3.00 credits with all 20 paylines in play. You can see just how much you can expect to win for each combination of icons in the line bet multiplier table below:
Bonusaurus Rex
Living up to its name, B.C. Bonus gives spinners a few special icons to help them on their prehistoric spinning journey. The first of these is a standard wild symbol – the T-rex – which will substitute for all of the symbols above which pay line bet multiplier prizes.
There is also a scatter icon, depicted by the Cave Man who will award total bet multiplier prizes of 10x, 50x and 1,000x when three, four and five appear in any reel position respectively. Plus, three or more of these scatters will trigger 13 free spins to give players a chance to find more winning sequences without having to place a penny in stakes. And as if that's not enough, all of wins from these free spins will be multiplied by 3x.
Finally, there is a Cave Woman “Bonus” icon, which also acts as a scatter but will activate a special pick 'em bonus game when three or more appear in any position on the reel. In fact, spinners will receive three, four, or five picks in direct accordance to how many bonus symbols appear, giving them a chance to reveal special bonus prizes.
Prehistoric Spins
B.C. Bonus is a solid video slot machine by Parlay Games which puts a novelty spin on the prehistoric genre with its two dimensional cartoon characters. The game also provides some fairly feature-rich gameplay with wild wins and two bonus games which are triggered by scattered icons. However, the game is somewhat let down by a scarce range of wagering options, limiting players to a maximum line bet of 0.15 credits. Therefore, the biggest win on offer is a paltry 750 credits – times were definitely tough in the prehistoric era!
