Slingo Rakin’ Bacon

Rakin’ Bacon Review

Some developers have become well-known for creating online bingo games, consistently releasing new content for fans. Rakin’ Bacon offers another familiar experience, especially if you've played similar bingo games before. The setup remains 5x5, offering potential for substantial wins.

The game features a piggy bank theme, with an animated piggy bank constantly displayed beside the playing field. While visually appealing, the game's interface feels somewhat dated. Although functional, an updated interface would be beneficial.

Rakin’ Bacon is a highly volatile game, with potential wins of up to 10,000x in a single round. Bets range from £0.20 to £200 per game. The theoretical RTP is 95.69% with optimal strategy, which is below average.

Rakin’ Bacon Gameplay and Features

The gameplay in Rakin’ Bacon is straightforward and familiar to bingo fans. After selecting your stake and starting a new game round, the goal is to achieve as many bingos – called Slingos – as possible. This will move you up the pay ladder, and you're initially given 10 spins to get the numbers needed.

Occasionally, you'll encounter Piggy Bank Wilds, enabling you to mark any number within the corresponding column. These can also randomly trigger the Jackpot Game. The Jackpot Game involves matching gems to win 4 fixed jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, worth 10x, 25x, 800x, and 10,000x your bet, respectively.

You can also land Free Spins symbols, adding free spins to your count. However, there are also Blocker symbols, which have no effect.

Reaching 9, 10, or 12 Slingos activates the Free Spins feature, awarding 15 free spins. This takes you to a separate slot game, offering 243, 1,024, or 3,125 ways to win, based on the number of Slingos that triggered the feature. The slot game includes Wilds and Scatters, with 3 adjacent Scatters awarding an additional 15 free spins.

Lastly, you can utilize Extra Spins after your initial bingo spins conclude, potentially improving your rewards by buying more spins. However, aiming for larger wins can become expensive, so be mindful of that.

Review Summary

With limited competition within the bingo game category, games like Rakin’ Bacon have an advantage. The combination of basic bingo gameplay with slot game rewards and the potential to win 4 fixed jackpots is appealing. However, higher RTPs and enhanced user interfaces would be a welcome improvement.
