Basic Instinct Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Do you have the instinct to win?

As you’d expect from the title, iSoftbet's Basic Instinct is based on the movie starring Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas, and includes themes from the film in its symbols. The game opens against a black backdrop in which we see Sharon Stone’s face. The playing cards feature high-rise buildings against a steel grey background, with other symbols instantly recognisable from the film, including the ice pick, handcuffs and a revolver.

The soundtrack features excerpts of music from the film, which rises to a crescendo when certain features are triggered, and when you access the help screens, denoted by an ‘i’ symbol to the bottom right-hand side of the console.

How to play

Basic Instinct is a standard five-reel, three-row slots game, but there are no paylines to worry about here. Instead there are 243 ways to win, as three or more matching symbols appearing on the reels from left to right, starting on the left-hand reel, trigger a win. Ideally, you want to see the ice pick and the police badge appearing on the reels in winning positions, as they offer the greatest virtual financial rewards. They also pay out for just two matching symbols, unlike the other icons in the game.

Unlike most other slots games of this type, there are none of the usual standard wilds or scatters to maximise your chances of winning big. Instead, there are three Sharon Stone stacked symbols, all oversized, covering three rows of play at a time. As wilds, they can represent any other symbol on the grid apart from the other stacked wilds.

First, we encounter the bonus wild, in which Sharon Stone appears in the iconic white outfit she wore for the infamous interrogation scene with Michael Douglas. When this icon appears completely across the visible three rows, the bonus feature is activated. If only part of the icon appears, the symbols turn wild, giving you more chances to win.

The next wild is the free spin symbol, in which Sharon Stone is pictured with the black Lotus Esprit which appears in the film. If the icon covers all three visible rows in the playing area, then the free spin round is automatically triggered. If not all of the icon is visible, the symbols become wilds.

The third bonus wild is the wild drop feature, with Sharon Stone now appearing in a red, backless dress, looking every inch the vamp. When it appears in full across the three visible rows of play, the wild drop feature is activated. As the other reels resume their spinning, this wild drops down by one position, changing to wilds in the process. A bonus round lets you choose from 12 boxes to win a mystery award, adding to the excitement. Our catalogue of thrilling slots is packed with similar games.
