Black Friday Demo (Shady Lady) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Prepare to dive headfirst into chaos, because Shady Lady’s Black Friday slot takes you right into the madness of… consumerism! Inspired by America’s busiest shopping day, Black Friday pits you against some of the most determined discount shoppers in America, and you can win up to 20,000x!

Theme & Design

Shady Lady has built a reputation for poking fun at modern life, and some of their early releases, like Office Party and Devil’s Finger, have enjoyed phenomenal success. One of their latest releases, Black Friday, is no exception. The game is based around the craziness of shopping, and you’ll see crowds of customers, stampedes, and even flying cars… all in a way that’s funny and slightly disturbing!

The game itself plays out across a busy retail store backdrop, with shelves overflowing and shoppers ready to fight to the death for those prized bargains! The game uses a gritty-like design, and, like all Shady Lady releases, it looks superb.

You’ll find a variety of theme-specific symbols, including toilet rolls, gadgets, bullets, and four wild characters who, we think, are designed to represent the worst people in society!

Black Friday Gameplay & Features

Black Friday is played on a 5×4 grid, and the game has 30 fixed paylines. You can wager between €0.10 and €100 per spin, and, despite its high variance nature, it offers an above-average RTP of 96.35%.

There’s a pretty impressive rolodex of bonuses and promotions, and the first is the Road Rage Respins. When some of the character symbols land – the Cop, Protestor, and Politician – a corresponding car crashes onto the reels, turning them wild. The Cop creates two-symbols-high wilds, the Protestor creates a 3-symbols-high wild with a random multiplier, and the Politician creates a four-symbols-high wild with an increasing multiplier.

Each spin, these vehicles nudge down the reels, leaving blood trails of wilds behind them until the feature ends.

Next, there’s the Parking Lot Stampede feature. This random bonus clears all low-paying symbols from the reels, making space for premium symbols, and if you’re lucky, it can happen at the same time as the Road Rage feature!

Now, the slot’s main bonus game is triggered by landing three Black Friday symbols anywhere in view. The free spins bonus has no fixed number of free games. You simply keep spinning until one or more characters are pushed below the grid. During the bonus, character symbols move down the reels, and you get to collect coin values and multipliers along the way. You can also hit weapons like pistols, lasers, and nukes, which eliminate random symbols for cash rewards.

In keeping with most Shady Lady slots, there’s also a Super Bonus. This is triggered by landing four scatter symbols. In this upgraded version of the feature, blank spaces are removed entirely!

Bonus Buy & The Store

Like other Shady Lady releases, Black Friday includes a “Store” feature, where you pay to produce specific outcomes. You can, for example, buy Highlight Reels to instantly see the top three results from 100, 300, or 500 spins, and there are also the game developer’s signature Loot Boxes.

You can also buy direct entry into the bonus round for a cost between 85x and 1,596x your bet.
