SYMBOL
A keyring, a suitcase, headphones, an umbrella, gloves and a travel mug are the title’s low-value symbols, offering between x0.2 and x1.5 the player’s bet depending on the combination of symbols present on the reels following a single spin.
Different passengers are the game’s high-value symbols, offering between x0.5 and x4 the player’s wager depending on the combination of symbols which land on the reels.
High-value symbols can also appear as three stacked symbols, but only on reels one, three or five. These symbols do not expand.
A bus is the title’s wild symbol, which offers between x0.8 and x4 the player’s stake depending on the combinations on the reels after a spin.
DETAILS
If the same stacked high symbol appears on the middle reel and on either reel one or five, the reel contraction feature is triggered, compressing the reels and deleting the reel between the stacked high symbols.
A global multiplier then appears and a respin is awarded. During the respin, a multiplier wild appears and adds a value between x1 and x10 to the global multiplier. Winning combinations retrigger respins.
Two contractions can appear at once. If this happens, the Bus Stop Challenge is triggered. Played on a 1×1 reel, the player will collect rewards until the exit symbol lands.
During the Bus Stop Challenge, the following symbols can land: a coin symbol with values between x2 and x10 the player’s bet, a multiplier with a value of x1 to x10, or the exit symbol, which ends the round.
Scatter symbols come in the form of a speech bubble. Landing three, four, or five scatters on the reels awards the player eight, 10 or 12 free spins. Only one scatter can land per reel.
Stacked high symbols can land on any reel during free spins. Free spins also include a global multiplier and multiplier wild symbols. Wild symbols substitute for all regular symbols except scatters.
A multiplier wild is added to the global multiplier when it lands. The global multiplier stays active throughout the free spins mode. If a wild is part of a winning combination during free spins, it becomes a walking wild and moves to another random position on the next free spin. If the wild is not part of a winning combination, it disappears at the beginning of the next spin.
A buy bonus is also available with eight or 12 free spins purchasable for x80 or x120 the player’s bet. The Bus Stop Challenge can also be purchased for x60 the player’s stake.
WHAT THEY SAY
Fish & Chips Games marketing team said: “Everyone knows the bus stop. Nobody has ever enjoyed one. We thought it was about time somebody paid people for standing there. The contracting reelset gives the game a rhythm you can feel; the board tightens, the multiplier climbs, and the tension builds without us having to shout about it.”
Tomasz Kowalik, Product Director of YGG Champions at Yggdrasil, added: “We are delighted to bring Bus Stop Bonanza to players worldwide in collaboration with the Fish & Chips team. The game combines recognisable British charm with engaging gameplay to create a product with broad international appeal. We are confident it will deliver an entertaining and memorable experience.”
