Review for Pelican Payday on hype.bet/johnessy

Pelican Payday Review:

Tonight i'll be giving a review on Pragmatic Pelican Payday on Demo Free play.

A slot thats been out for a month or so now but it's one i have not played as of yet, I think its just never popped up enough for me to see it to be played but after seeing Johnessy play it on hype.bet/johnessy

From someone calling it in his kick stream it got my attention some reason i do like the 3 reel slots with some providers then can really pop off when you least expect it, an they don't get much appriciation for it.

I'm going to be playing it on hype.bet/johnessy on demo free play at $3 spins, it doesn't have ante bet either, I believe with that some games can actually be more likely to give better bonuses or base hits randomly.

Looking into the game info, there's 3 lighthouse scatters for the bonus, A money barrel with different money values and a pelican collect symbol that only appears on reels 3 when it is landed it collects all the money values from the money barrel symbols that land.

In the bonus you get 8 free spins an you can land the collect symbol on reels 1 2 & 3 the pot then stays on screen till the end of the free spins, you can also land an additional 3 scatters during the bonus for an extra 8 spins.

The max win on Pelican Payday is a 5000x so if you're lucky enough to meet that 5000x before the end of your free spins they will stop at whatever spins you had left.

1st 100 spins at $3 bet size.

I hit the 1st bonus within 10 spins, during then i noticed if you land cash barrrel with the collect symbol it adds the money into 1 pot at at the top of the screen the more collects adds the total cash into that 1 barrel an collects that every time with a collect symbol. I think that's a great thing as if you land any of the jackpots it mean's you'll get that every @time you hit a collect symbol. potentail for good amount of money to be won each bonus.

Unfortunatly as i can't get replay's for demo play slots these to images are from 2 bonuses i hit early on both with 35 spins out of 100 spin's which i dont think is to bad to be honest, Out of the 1st 100 spins I had 4 bonuses these two where the highest paying an the other two was around $100-$150 mark.

2nd round of 100 spins at $3 bet size

I hit a bonus on the 2nd spin for a pop game Hype.bet this is a very good one for its quick bonuses, It was a very quick bonus indeed it hit with a minor jackpot of $150 with a collect symbol but thats all she wrote no more collect symbols or build up the cash for that bonus

The base hits can really pop off there's been a few hits of $100-$200 but this one did take me by surprise very good hit esspecially if this was being played in real mode at $3 no 1 would be grumbling at a $500 base hit win.

This can all be played at hype.bet/johnessy an more sites too if you follow johnessy slots which is where i use to sign up to casino's for great offers an enjoy either playing in real mode or even chilling playing in demo free play to get the feel iiof a slot.

3rd an final 100 spins at bet size $3

spun in a bonus at spin 25 but it onnly paid £67. for what it's paid out so far with all the other bonuses an its base hits i still don't mind that it's been a really good slot to test out on free demo play. Its something ill have to remember to go back an try again in real play.

1st bonus win
2nd bonus win
3rd bonus win
single base hit win

What I liked

  • * It's a pop slot
  • * It's a 3 reeler slot
  • * bonuses quickly
  • * good base hits

What I didn’t like

  • * Really wasn't anything i could find that i didn't enjoy about this slot

My verdict

Playing Pragmatics Pelican Payday at hype.bet/johnessy

Free demo mode play I think its a great slot for a balance builder or to even just chill an play in demo mode, I couldn't find any faults with it at all it paid ok in the bonuses an paid very well in base hits also. I rate this game a solid 8/10.
