Big Bang Spin slot review

Big Pot Gaming slots come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but very few look like Big Bang Spin. After all, how many slots take you back to the beginning of the universe and on a journey through the cosmos between? Our Big Bang Spin Slot review will explain all the details, but five reels floating in space and 20 paylines capable of turning into extended wilds during the free spins round make for a special experience.

The beginning of the universe

If you remember your physics classes at school, you will know that the big bang is widely agreed by scientists to be the origin point of pretty much everything and the reason the universe continues to expand today. A small point, incredibly hot and incredibly dense, exploded outwards, becoming larger and cooler and bringing with it the laws of physics. We have seen slots about outer space before, but never quite like this.

All the stars and planets

The Big Bang Spin slot might take an unusual angle; however, like other slots with a cosmological theme, it is set against a background of a starry expanse of space, this time brushed with shades of blue and purple. The reels are framed like a viewing screen, as if you are in a spaceship bobbing up and down watching the outside, which explains the constant movement.

There are planets in this slot, both in the background and as symbols on the reels, but only in part. We see close-ups of their curving edges, which is just enough to imply their full size and majesty. The music has an epic sweep on top of a decidedly sci-fi tone. This is a video slot far beyond normal human scales.

Big Bang Spin RTP and variance

When weighing modern slots against each other, the RTP is normally one of the first things to check. This is an average return over millions of spins rather than a promise that your session will be successful, but it is a good starting point when assessing the payout potential. The Big Bang Spin slot has a higher-than-average 96.49 per cent RTP.

Then we have the variance. Like many popular slots, Big Bang Spin is at a nicely balanced medium. Wins should be both reasonably sized and reasonably paced, but the demo play offered by most casinos will remove any risk.

How to play Big Bang Spin

It is time to venture into the cosmos:

1. Fly to the bottom corner first, to the menu. This will open a settings page with a quick spin control, with links to your game history and the game rules. Mute is on the main screen.
2. Next to the menu is the info button for the paytable, which applies the win multiplier to every combination of winning symbols. There are also details about the bonuses.
3. Move to the stack of coins for the important task of setting your bet. It is good practice to be responsible with wagering and budgeting, even in demo mode.
4. Another part of budgeting is setting win and loss limits. Take regular breaks, keep your head clear, and stay in control. Timeout and self-exclusion functions are available. 

How to win at Big Bang Spin

Normally, the alignment of the planets is the province of astrologers; in the Big Bang Spin slot, it is part of winning. Any combination of regular matching symbols, as long as they are across one of the 20 paylines, will pay out. There are five reels, so the biggest possible combination is five. Three or four winning symbols are also possible.

Top symbols

The five card symbols are equal in value, as are the four smallest planets. At the top of the paytable is the sun, burning with a win multiplier of 1,600x your bet. This is the max win.

Bet range

A minimum bet of 0.20 and a maximum bet of 200 in the Big Bang Spin slot makes for a pretty good range. 

Big Bang Spin bonuses

Two Big Bang Spin bonus features are available in this slot: free spins and extended wilds. They both add something special that takes it beyond the base game:

Free spins

It is the scatter symbol that triggers the free spins bonus round - unless you buy them. Find the scatter symbol three times on the first, third and fifth reels and five free spins will be triggered. This doesn’t have the complexity of the free spins in the Eye of Horus slot, but sometimes it is nice to have a feature that is relatively straightforward.

Extended wild

The free spins come with one other feature. This time, you need the mega scatter to trigger it. Other symbols in a line with the mega scatter - so going horizontally - turn into wilds capable of substituting for other symbols. Most slots with this kind of feature have wilds that expand from top to bottom rather than left to right, so this is an interesting and potentially valuable variation. Extended wilds remain in place throughout the free spins.

Max-win 1,600x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 96.49%

Big Bang Spin review: our verdict

Some people just love anything that can transport them into outer space to see the stars and planets up close. For them, the Big Bang Spin slot is pretty much a guaranteed winner regardless of the gameplay. If you need a little more, the free spins and extended wilds certainly help. This is a solid slot, although it doesn’t always live up to the scale of its theme.
