Boulder Bucks Slots Review

Did stone age dwellers of the Earth use any sort of currency? Did they coexist with dinosaurs? Put all those awkward questions to one side for the moment so you can enjoy this colourful online slot from Barcrest. It’s called Boulder Bucks and it includes several extra features as well as Barcrest’s Big Bet option – read the full review below for all the essential information.

Boulder Bucks is a five reel slot with three rows and ten fixed paylines; the game is set in some sunny prehistoric location where the main characters live in the shade of the palm trees alongside a pink dinosaur.

The three main symbols are in fact the make and female characters along with that dinosaur; lower values are represented by the ‘boulderised’ 10, J, Q, K and A.

The wild is a big wild boulder which appears only on reels two, three and four and it will substitute for all others except the bonus symbols – the Boulder Bucks logo and the dinosaur egg.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three of the Boulder Bucks logos anywhere on reels one, three and five; the symbol on reel five will then determine how many picks you get (1-3) of the following three choices:

• Mammoth Spins – 20 free spins with expanding wilds on reels two, three and four.
• Pterodactyl Spins – 10 free spins with wilds on reels two, three and four which expand to the left.
• Sabre-Toothed Tiger Spins – 6 free spins with expanding wilds on reels two, three and four – these remain in place for the duration of the spins.

Egg Hunt Pick Me

Trigger this by landing three of the dinosaur eggs anywhere on reels two, three and four; just pick one of these eggs for a multiplier prize or entry into the free spins round.

Big Bet

This is an optional special bet which will cost 20 or 30 coins depending on your choice:

• 20 Coins – buys five spins and if two Boulder Bucks symbols appear on reels one and three you will be offered a ‘pick me’ option on reel five to try and find the third one to trigger the free spins.
• 30 Coins – buys five spins and if two Boulder Bucks symbols appear on reels one, three or five you will be offered a ‘pick me’ option to try and find the third one to trigger the free spins.

Verdict

Boulder Bucks is a colourful and enjoyable slot with several easily-triggered bonus features and that extra option to buy yourselves some enhanced spins. It’s a game we would certainly recommend.
