Backyard Grill Demo (BGaming) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

They say that Americans do everything bigger, and if you’ve ever seen them host a BBQ on TV or in movies, then I think that is one area you’d have to concede that they do put the rest of us to shame. Evidence of this can be seen in the Backyard Grill slot from developer BGaming, where you’ll experience cascading reels, multipliers, free spins, and a max win that reaches 5,000x the bet.

Theme & Design

Unsurprisingly, the location chosen for BGaming’s Backyard Grill slot is, well, someone’s backyard. The setting looks to be relatively quiet, with this BBQ currently not having too many guests, which will probably suit those already there as the reels are stacked with steaks, chicken and tasty-looking burgers. Damn BGaming, where was my invite?

The food slot niche is one that continues to grow, and you can head on over to our dedicated food-themed slots page to find more games or to play. If, however, you want a couple of off-the-cuff suggestions, I’d suggest Culinary Clash from Bullshark Games or, if you want some insane volatility, Nolimit City’s Gluttony.

Backyard Grill Gameplay & Features

The Backyard Grill slot game is played over a 6-reel, 5-row configuration operating on the scatter pays mechanic, with wins awarded if a minimum of 8 matching symbols land anywhere within the playfield. Players can choose to place bets from a minimum of €0.20 to a maximum of €50, whilst benefiting from a high RTP of 97.17%.

As with most scatter pays slots, Backyard Grill uses the cascading reels engine, which activates when winning combos are formed within the playfield. This will then remove all winning symbols from the reels before replacing them with new ones, giving you more chances to win. This can prove to be lucrative if the special multiplier symbols also appear in view, as they have values of up to 500x, and all instances of these will be applied to your win when all cascades have ended.

There’s a main bonus round to trigger, too, which comes in the form of a free spins round. This will be activated when 4 or more scatters land in view, with 15 spins being awarded for the start of the feature. During this bonus, all multipliers that land are stored in a global meter, with any new multipliers that hit thereafter being added to this total, which is then applied to the series of wins for that spin. Players should note this value does not reset between losing spins.

Bonus Buy

BGaming has added enhanced betting and a bonus buy option for those wanting to play with more risk. The options are:

• Chance x2: Double the chance of triggering the bonus at a cost of 25% on top of the normal stake.
• Bonus Buy: Trigger the free spins at the cost of 100x the current bet.
