Restaurant Craze Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Restaurant Craze

Arrive at the front door with coach lamps to either side and a menu board outside the door, and you are ready to step inside and become part of the Restaurant Craze.

This 5x4-reel online slot from PG Soft offers the player 30 fixed paylines and 10 paying symbols, including the wild, which expands and is the highest-value tile substituting for all others.

Favourite dishes and playing cards are the other symbols. In order of value, they are the gourmet crab, salmon en croute, a luxury burger, a salad and a soup. The cards are Ace, King, Queen and Jack.

This is the hot spot in town thanks to some great reviews by our resident food critic, so you will find the regulars seated at the bar above the reels. Your aim is to match one of their orders to trigger the expanding wilds.

Fans of this designer will find other examples of their work in demo mode at PG Soft free play slot here at Slots Temple.

If you are a foodie and are looking for a similar slot to enjoy, why not try an Italian one such as the Mamma Mia online slot also found at Slots Temple. Alternatively, look here for other food-themed slots.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the key aspects of Restaurant Craze.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

Located in a downtown street in the city, this restaurant is the foodie’s best-kept secret, and the slot contains all the aspects you might expect from a food-themed slot. A range of dishes are available, and it all comes down to the customers’ choices.

The cartoon graphics on the reels are easy to understand, but the fun comes from the hipsters, or maybe secret critics, who sit above the reels randomly trying the meals on offer on the menu, or ordering drinks.

These animated customers call out their orders and spring into life when the player matches their order.

The base soundtrack is the piped background music you might expect in Restaurant Craze with its cool vibe. This transforms into a funky track when the wilds are released.

It all makes up a cool environment, as you might expect from this designer.

Restaurant Craze RTP and volatility

This slot has an RTP of 97.45%, which is enough to attract most players to the table. You will find that it operates at medium variance, offering a steady stream of winning lines.

How to play Restaurant Craze

For those who like to share, Restaurant Craze is the perfect slot. The concept is pretty straightforward: match symbols across the 30 fixed win lines that pay left to right, and match orders with the other customers above the reels to trigger the expanding wilds.

Let’s get started!

1.    Once the game loads, you are standing outside the door, so go in to take your seat.
2.    Check the dashboard below the reels and click on the three bars to the right and a new dash will open.
3.    Click on the notebook in the centre to open the rules of the game. Here you will find information on betting.
4.    Return to the dashboard to check out the paytable.
5.    You can also choose to mute the soundtrack and check the history of your session.
6.    Click "close" to go back to the game. Here you can set the speed of the spins, engage auto spin and customise it to stop on the size of winnings.
7.    You now need to select your bet size and bet level on the fixed 30 win lines, or select maximum bet.
8.    The spinning plate in the centre of the main dash is your spin button.
9.    Hit this to start the game, wait for winning lines, or for a food plate to match that chosen at random by the guests above the reels to trigger the expanding wilds for bigger wins. You could potentially land five wild reels!

You are now all set to go, but remember to set yourself a budget for your session and to play responsibly.

Restaurant Craze bonus features

The only bonus feature in Restaurant Craze is the expanding wilds feature, which triggers when a dish on the reels matches that chosen by one of the characters directly above it. The customers above the reels randomly select dishes and either just one, or potentially all five, can place an order during a spin, creating one or five expanded wilds.

Our verdict

Restaurant Craze is a fun slot that is simple to play and provides regular small wins to keep the player interested. The design of the slot, featuring the five animated characters above the reels, keeps the player engaged and entertained, as does the expanded wild feature released by matching the critic's choice above the reel.

What lets it down is the absence of a genuine bonus game or a free spins trigger. This means the game can be a little repetitive, and the player is ultimately dependent on wilds appearing and potentially expanding to garner bigger wins.

To conclude, this critic’s jury is out on Restaurant Craze, despite the rave reviews the venue has garnered from the characters seated above the reels.
