Ballin is an engaging video slot game developed by Blueprint Gaming, offering a dynamic range of 200 to 30,375 potential winning combinations. This game operates on an intriguing 5-reel grid with an unusual row layout of 3-4-4-4-3. Moreover, "Ballin" is characterised by its medium volatility.
In "Ballin", winning sequences are generated when a minimum of three identical symbols align adjacently on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. Delving into the game's paytable, the lower-value symbols include the card royals (J to A), each stylized with a unique dollar bill font. These are followed by more premium symbols like gold watches, gold rings, and a quartet of feline characters, each exuding their own brand of baller lifestyle or representing members of their posh entourage. The payout for these symbols varies, with non-character icons offering rewards from 0.5 to 2.5 times the bet, while a line of the cat characters can pay between 5 and 25 times the stake.
To aid players in forming winning combinations, "Ballin" includes Star Wilds, which can land on reels 2, 3, and 4, substituting for all symbols except the scatter. Additionally, wild multipliers carrying values of x2 or x3 may appear on the middle three reels in both the base game and bonus rounds. A unique feature in the base game is the appearance of the Super Star Wild. When this symbol lands, it transforms itself and all symbols above it on the reel into wild multipliers. Should a wild already be present above a Super Star Wild, its multiplier is upgraded to x3, if it is not already at that level.
The game also features two distinct free spins rounds. Triggering the Big Balls Free Spins requires landing bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3, along with a Big Balls symbol on reel 5, resulting in 10 free spins. During this round, any wild multiplier that appears will stick to the reels for the remaining spins.
