The Design

Telly Reels has a unique retro style. It is set on a purple-bluish background with lights radiating from the centre. A retro old TV set is the structure of the grid. The menu buttons are at the bottom and the controllers are to the right. On the dark blue reels can land oranges, lemons, grapes, cherries, bells.

There are blue single 7s, colourful single BARs, stars, scatters and wilds. The images are plain like those in land-based casinos. The soundtrack is jazzy, dynamic and very suitable for the theme. The free spins start with the spinning of a wheel and the TV set changes a bit. The soundtrack is jollier than in the base game.

Telly Reels Gameplay

The pay-table includes 5 fruit symbols at the low end, 3 premium ones, a scatter and a wild. The plum pays 0.20, 0..50 and 1x stake for 3, 4 and 5 symbols, the orange – 0.50, 1 and 1.50 times your stake. The lemon grants wins of 0.50, 1 and 2 times the stake for 3, 4 and 5 symbols on a pay-line. The grapes pay 0.50, 1.25 and 2.50x stake, the cherries – 0.75, 1.50 and 3 times your stake.

The premiums include a gold bell with a payout of 0.75, 2 and 4 times your stake. The blue seven pays 1, 2.50 and 5 times your stake. The BAR symbol is the most valuable of all standard symbols. Its payout is 1, 3 and 10 times your stake for 3, 4 and 5 BARs on a pay-line.

The wild is the icon with the gold inscription. It substitutes for all others except for the special symbols. Landing 3, 4 or 5 wilds on a line give you 2.50, 12.50 or 25 times your bet. The scatter is the wheel symbol with the green word itself. It triggers the free games and has a payout of its own too.

Telly Reels Features & Bonuses

There are 3 bonus games in the Telly Reels slot. When you land a star symbol on a reel, it activates its corresponding field on the bonus matrix table. When you fill the bonus matrix with star symbols, you trigger the Telly Bonus Spins. These are 10 paid spins and 5 wilds are blocked on the reels while they play. The exact position of the wilds matches the position of the sliders below the bonus matrix table. You will win from these features and all payouts accumulate and are paid at the end of the feature.

When all sliders from the bonus matrix table are in one position, you trigger the Mini Telly Bonus. The sliders are moved by the special symbols. This bonus gives you a random prize, which ranges from 2 to 10 times your stake.

Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters to win 10 Free Spins and 2, 5 or 10 times your stake respectively. The free games play at the bet size and volatility you activated them. In the beginning, you will spin a Wheel of Fortune, which give you additional prizes. There are 10 sections on the wheel. The one where the pointer stops will reveal your prize, which can be:

You can play a gamble after each win in the base game and try to double your payout. Click on the x2 button with the casino chips to participate in it. There are 2 gambling modes you have to choose in advance – a standard card, and an advanced unique one. The latter takes you on a TV screen with two buttons. You choose one of them and will either win and double your payout or lose it.

The card gamble gives you 1 face-down card and you have to guess its colour – black or red. After the winning gamble sessions, you can continue to put the prize at stake. Use the hand symbol with the dollar on it to collect your winnings at any time.
