Theme & Graphics
Bone Appétit takes place in a cartoon pet restaurant where playful dogs and cat chefs prepare their favourite dishes. The visuals are lively and colourful, dominated by shades of gold, cream, and pastel blue.
Symbols include biscuits, bones, and animated characters that bring personality to each spin. Above the reels sits a “biscuit pile” that gradually fills as bonus symbols land, adding a sense of progress between rounds.
RTP & Volatility
Operators can select from two RTP configurations: 94.5%. Bone Appétit is a medium-to-high volatility slot, designed to deliver frequent small wins punctuated by the occasional feature burst. The hit potential is capped at 2500x.
How To Play
- Choose your stake using the + and – buttons (starting at 10p)
- Press Spin to play one round.
- Wins form when three or more matching symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right.
- 243 ways to win apply on every spin, with all wins added together.
How To Win
All symbol combinations pay left to right across adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Wild dog symbols can substitute for any regular symbol to help create winning ways. Matching symbols multiply across reels to form up to 243 possible combinations per spin.
Bonus Features
A wide range of bonus features are available in this Inspired slot:
Wild Symbol
The dog acts as the wild symbol, substituting for all icons except the glowing bone (bonus) and chefs’ hat (scatter). Wilds can appear during the base game, Fortune Spins, Fortune Bet, and Free Spins rounds.
Progressive Biscuit Pile
Every bonus symbol that lands adds a biscuit to the pile above the reels. As the pile grows, it can randomly increase in size or trigger the Wheel Bonus. This pseudo-progressive element gives each spin a sense of continuity, rewarding persistence over time.
Dog Modifiers
During any spin in the base game, Fortune Spins, or Fortune Bet mode, a dog’s tail may appear across the bottom of the screen. When it does, the dog pops up and triggers one of three instant outcomes: Big Win, Free Spins, or Wheel Bonus. These quick bonuses add surprise momentum between main features.
Wheel Bonus
Landing three or more bonus symbols triggers the Wheel Bonus. Each additional symbol upgrades the wheel by removing lower-tier pots for a better average reward:
- 3 bonus symbols – Standard Wheel (all prizes active)
- 4 bonus symbols – Upgraded Wheel (Mini pot removed)
- 5 bonus symbols – Super Wheel (Mini and Minor pots removed)
The wheel can award fixed pots or one of three special features: Go Large, Rollin’ Bones, or High Steaks. Each feature transforms the reels before triggering six free spins with upgraded frame levels or expanded symbols for increased potential.
Free Spins
Free Spins are activated when six or more scatter symbols land anywhere in view. Players receive six free spins with 243 ways to win still active. Scatters create “frames” that level up as more land:
- Level 1 frames form when scatters appear on empty positions.
- Landing a scatter in an existing frame upgrades it to Level 2, then Level 3.
- If a Level 3 frame is hit again, the scatter moves to the nearest lower frame and upgrades that instead.
Three or more scatters during the feature add an extra free spin. If all positions reach Level 3 frames, a 10x total stake prize is awarded immediately.
Bowl Collections
When the Free Spins round ends, all remaining frames convert into food bowls. The dogs appear at the top of the screen and lick each row of bowls, revealing cash prizes. Higher-level bowls yield bigger rewards:
- Level 1 Bowls – 0.5x to 1.5x stake
- Level 2 Bowls – 2x to 8x stake, plus Mini or Minor Pots
- Level 3 Bowls – 10x to 250x stake, or any Prize Pot
Fortune Bet
Fortune Bet raises the stake by 1.5x and enhances the chance of triggering main features. With this mode active, a respin is awarded whenever two bonus symbols land. Reels with bonus symbols lock while the others respin, giving another opportunity to land a third bonus or additional scatters. Free Spins can also trigger with just five scatter symbols instead of six.
Fortune Spins
Players can switch to Fortune Spins for a focused version of the base game that uses a specialised reel set containing only bonus symbols, scatter symbols, cats, and wilds. This trimmed configuration increases the frequency of feature hits while maintaining the 5x3 layout.
Gamble Feature
Any win of 5x stake or more can trigger the gamble screen (depending on operator settings). Two wheels appear—one for cash prizes and one for bonus rounds. The cash wheel offers one-third, double, or triple multipliers, while the bonus wheel lets you gamble for Standard, Super, or Mega Bonus rounds. Players can adjust the risk using the +/- arrows to modify win/loss segments, or collect their winnings at any time.
