Little Britain, the slot machine, gets an obvious theme, if you know anything about British TV shows. The similarly named TV series aired between 2003 and 2006, as a sketch show that was character-based. The slot machine came years later, and it was Ash Gaming that acquired the rights to it, while at the same time being allowed to use actual photos of the comedians playing in it.
Ash Gaming came up with a 5 reels/30 lines slot machine, where you could win 1000x the bet ($750,000), or get access to features such as wilds, scatters, several bonus games and free spins. It looks like an impressive game already, but let’s dive in and see more details.
Betting
A wager system that uses 30 lines, it will allow the player to pick a value for the coins which are going to be used. The smallest one is $0.01, while the highest value can reach $25. With that in mind, we’re looking at a betting range of $0.30 to $750 for a single spin of Little Britain. Luckily, the range is huge and it should allow everyone to participate.
Little Britain Jackpot
Several types of rewards can be obtained by players spinning the reels of Little Britain. Regular combinations may form, and each one can pay 1,000x the line bet, which could mean $25,000 cash. There are bonus features as well though, and their promises of up to 1000x the bet will give you as much as $750,000.
Despite the many features involved in the game, the long-term Return to Player percentage is at a stingy 94%, not the best figure around unfortunately.
Special Features
Like other Ash Gaming slot machines, Little Britain excels when it comes to features, providing you with several options, usually one or two for each category. Wilds, scatters, free spins and bonus games are all used.
Wild Symbols
Sporting an image of the Little Britain Wild logo, this symbol is usually reserved for the substitute’s role. You get it next to regular symbols on active lines, to form combinations that way. The ideal situation is when up to five Wild Logos form their own combo, with a 1,000x reward coming your way then. It’s one of only two symbols that can pay that much.
Little Britain Bonus
There are five different bonus games to play here, one for each of the five main characters that the slot’s action revolves around. Getting to this point requires that you land Wheel Bonus icons, which needs to happen simultaneously on the three reels where they’re allowed (1, 3 and 5). Once you spin the wheel, you get the feature that will be triggered.
Vicky Pollard’s ASBO: a bonus feature with up to 750x the bet in rewards, allows you to pick an activity for her to do, and the longer she takes to decide, the bigger the reward.
Lou and Andy’s Love It Bonus: a feature with an even bigger top reward, of 1,000x the bet, lets you once again make picks in order to boost the multiplier for the prize.
Marjorie Dawes’ Fat Fighters: for this bonus feature, you have to pick from the shown silver trays, to find food and prizes underneath them. 500X the bet is the ultimate reward.
Dafydd’s Big Gay Bonus: you have three shuffles of clothing for the character, getting a cash prize for each complete costume that is formed.
Emily Howard’s Lady Things: it’s yet another picking feature, where you have to select objects found in Emily’s room.
Free Spins
The LB logo is the one providing you with access to 10 free spins, provided that you’ve got it in a single round three times and on just as many reels. The free spins come with stacked wilds which use special characters for this role. Each fully visible stack brings a reward, one as high as 100x the bet.
Anne’s Wild
In addition to all the other cool features you can get in this game, there is a random one as well, one which involves a character that will throw objects towards symbols, to turn them into wilds.
Design
As a branded slot machine, it’s normal for it to be using photos of the actors and comedians playing in the original show. It does it both during paid spins since it has them as regular symbols, but also includes them in the various features which are built around them.
All the regular characters of the Little Britain show are here, including Vicky Pollard, Dafydd, Andy, Lou, Marjorie and Anne. For other symbols, they’ve gone with logos or Royals.
Summary
The game offers a lot, mainly for the fans of the original show and those that like having lots of features to explore. It doesn’t do as well RTP wise, with the percentage of 94% being lower than that of a lot of other similarly entertaining slots.
