going underground slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Famous for being the world's first underground railway, the tube in London opened way back in January 1863 between Paddington and Farringdon. In more recent times, we saw the use of the subway in the hit movie The Darkest Hour, where prime minister Winston Churchill rides the tube to get the thoughts of the British public before then delivering his famous speech to parliament as Britain decided to stand up to Adolf Hitler in WW2, rather than to seek a truce. The underground scene was, in fact, romanticised by the filmmakers and likely didn't happen. Still, Churchill was known to disappear for days and reappear at random locations chatting with the public to gauge opinion. So yes, the director may have used a bit of poetic license in that scene, but oh, it makes me proud to be British; I think I'm going to have to put the kettle on and have a cup of tea and a piece of cake.

Right, after that short historical interlude, back to Pragmatic Play's slot, Going Underground. The graphics as the game makes its way to our screens are top notch, it has to be said, and we actually find ourselves taken back in time to around the 1960s in London with the game set at Acton Town underground station on the Piccadilly line. The soundtrack is very good throughout the whole slot and captures, in my opinion, the essence of British music up until around the 80s. It's well worth cranking the volume up, let's put it that way, and you also get to enjoy the daily sounds of trains coming and going and the commuters having a bit of a chinwag as they wait.

The first stop on our journey on Going Underground is the paytable. As we take a closer inspection, we find the lower pays come in the form of the royal symbols J, Q, K, and Ace. There has been a bit of thought from Pragmatic Play when deciding upon the premium paying symbols in the slot, which are made up of famous British historical characters. So we have Sir Issac Newton, Florence Nightingale, William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, and Henry VIII, with a 5 of a kind win paying you 10x, 10x, 12.5x, 12.5x, and 25x, respectively. A newspaper represents the wild and pays 25x for hitting 5 of these across an active payline; it also substitutes for all regular game symbols.

Boarding the tube and playing this slot for real money costs from €0.20 a spin, with a good range of bet sizes, then following before reaching the maximum stake of €100. Just before you do set the reels spinning on Going Underground, make sure that you check the return to player percentage value in the information section. This can be as high as 96.51% or as low as 94.50%. 

base game & MODIFIERS

Pragmatic Play has armed Going Underground with a 5x3 reel format that contains 20 fixed paylines. You'll be awarded a win when connecting a minimum of 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. Several base game modifiers can also randomly trigger on any spin. These are as follows:

• Tunnel Vision: Mystery symbols are added to the screen, revealing the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable.
• The Big Smoke: A 3x3 colossal paying symbol or bonus symbol is added to reels 1, 2, 3, or 4.
• Wild Strike: Wild symbols are added to random positions on the reels.
• Shifting Stack: If a shifting wild stack hits, it will nudge to cover the entirety of the reel. These can contain multipliers of x2 or x3.
• Bonus Blitz: This can randomly trigger the bonus round.

The bonus round section of the slot is triggered when 3 or more of the scatter symbols land anywhere in view. This will initially take you to the feature wheel, where you will be awarded 1 of 5 possible bonuses. Unless you hit the top feature from the wheel, you will be given a chance to gamble for the next bonus up on the ladder. Just be aware that if you lose the gamble, you will return to the base game with a win of between 4x - 24x your bet.

All of the bonuses are quite fun in their own right and they are all capable of paying you a reasonable win. Check what these are, and how they work below.
