Sizzling Bells Review

We’ve already seen numerous Hold the Jackpot slots from Wazdan, but Sizzling Bells™ sticks out in a positive way. The fruit machine inspired theme might come across as too generic and standard for some players, but we recommend looking past the surface here. Underneath it all you’ll find a pretty entertaining release, with the usual flexibility when it comes to pace and volatility.

With Wild symbols and an exciting Gamble feature, you can rack up riches in the base game, but most wins come from the Hold the Jackpot feature. Wazdan has upped their game significantly compared to previous installments, and the 15,000x Super Grand Jackpot is bound to raise some eyebrows. Even the 2,500x Grand Jackpot is not shabby, at least not compared to many similar releases.

Sizzling Bells™ Slot Features

The wild symbol steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you complete winning combinations, but it does not hold any value of its own. There is also a blue star scatter symbol that pays when 3 to 5 of it lands anywhere in view. This awards 2, 10 or 50 x your stake, respectively, while the regular fruit symbols pay between 0.6 to 2 x your stake for 5-oak.

The Bell Bonus symbols land with multiplier values up to 15x, and some of them come with a countdown number of 5. These remain frozen in place for 5 spins, and thereby increasing your chances of triggering the Hold the Jackpot feature.

You need at least 6 bonus symbols in view to trigger the Hold the Jackpot bonus round, and the triggering bonus/cash symbols become sticky on the lower half of the 6x5 grid with 30 positions. Only regular cash symbols will land on the lower half, and each new non-blank symbol becomes sticky while resetting the respins tally to 3 again.

All cash symbols that land on the bottom half unlock the corresponding positions on the upper half of the grid, and this makes room for the Special Bell/bonus symbols to appear. These come with cash/multiplier values of 25, 50, 150 and 250 x your stake, and multiple special bell symbols of the same type can land.

If you manage to fill the bottom half of the grid with bonus/cash symbols, you win the Grand Jackpot worth 2,500x your stake. Fill the top half of the grid, and you win the Super Grand Jackpot worth 15,000x your stake, but only one jackpot can be won during the feature.

As usual with Wazdan, you can choose between 3 Volatility Levels in the base game, and the game speed also comes with 3 choices. Non-UK players can purchase the Hold the Jackpot feature from the in-game menu, and it will cost you 50, 100 or 300 x your stake for the low, standard or high volatility version, respectively.

The 200 Spins Sizzling Bells™ Slot Experience

You get to see a couple of smaller wins in the base game, before we purchase the most volatile Hold the Jackpot feature around 0:50 into the 4:39-minute highlights video. It plays out for a good while, but we’re not gonna give away up front whether or not we managed to fill one of the grids. See it all for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We see plenty of hold-and-win style titles every single month, but there are a couple of things that make this rather generic-looking fruit slot-inspired installment from Wazdan worthwhile. First of all, we really like how you can customize your own gaming experience by choosing both volatility and game pace. With the turbo maxed out, you can plow through tons of spins in a very short amount of time, while the lowest setting is for those who want to savor each spin.

The base game is mostly a grind, but the countdown bonus symbols can be helpful in triggering the Hold the Jackpot feature. Unlocking positions that can land more lucrative symbols adds a bit of excitement, and the 15,000x jackpot is certainly more attractive than what you get in many similar releases. The 2,500x might feel like a consolation prize in comparison, but it’s still decent enough to raise your pulse when you close in on it.

Pros

• Choose volatility and game speed
• Sticky countdown bonus/cash symbols
• Hold the Jackpot feature w/ double grid
• High-value cash symbols on upper grid
• Fill grids to win jackpots of 2,500x or 15,000x

Cons

• Generic fruit theme
