Piranha Pays

Alright, adventurous gamblers, gear up for a dip into the murky waters of South America with Play’n GO’s Piranha Pays. These infamous, toothy fish might usually scare off most explorers, but here they’re all about leading you to fortune from the safety of your screen. With a setup inspired by a cozy living room and a dash of ‘Up,’ the ambiance is top-notch—a warm and whimsical escape with catchy tunes, bikkies on the table, and an adorable old chap snoring away in his armchair. But make no mistake, these piranhas are more than capable of delivering a biting win!

Gameplay and Features That Snap

The game grid is like a fish tank in an old-school living room, featuring 5 reels and 4 rows with 30 paylines in the base game. When those free spins kick in, this fish tank gets bigger than the London Aquarium, expanding up to 8 rows and 50 paylines, thanks to a leveling-up system. It’s unpredictable and volatile with a rating of 10 out of 10, making each spin as tense as bait on the hook.

High-paying symbols include tasty snacks like pies, cakes, and slabs of meat. Low pays are classic J-A card royals. The piranha symbol acts as both a wild and a scatter, bringing extra teeth to the reels as it substitutes for all regular symbols. All bets range from 10c up to $/€50 per spin, and the theoretical RTP swims around 96.2%.

Bonus Features

• Win Multiplier: Adds a multiplier of up to x10 on any spin, boosting your line wins both in the base game and during free spins.
• Mystery Instant Win: With scatters on reels 1 and 3, a random win may land on the third reel, giving a bonus worth up to 20x your bet.
• Free Spins: Triggered by landing 3 scatters, providing 10 free spins and a trail where collecting cans upgrades the grid size and grows the piranha wild. Each level-up nets an additional 5 spins, with the chance to win up to 5,000x your bet.

Verdict

Play’n GO has reeled in a quirky, charming winner with Piranha Pays. The game stands out with its playful setting, unique leveling system, and those menacing piranhas that keep you on your toes. It takes some inspiration from the likes of ‘Fat’ slots or Royal Potato, but its expanding grid ensures the action stays unpredictable. While it can be challenging due to its high volatility, it’s a deep dive worth taking. When luck smiles your way, you’ll be swimming in big wins in no time!
