Bubble Bubble 2 - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Bubble Bubble 2 review: introduction

Bubble Bubble 2 brings all the frights you would expect from a slots game with a Halloween theme. The standard paytable shows some deliciously gothic symbols, including a rat, bat, owl, witch’s hat and mouse. These pay the most, but Double Bubble 2's paytable is huge and there are also cauldrons, skulls, dolls, spellbooks, candles and potions.

One wild is usually cause for celebration, but Bubble Bubble 2 has two in the base game! The witches (Winni and Wanda) are special and can award up to 9x whenever they appear. A spectral sword is Bubble Bubble 2’s scatter, and Realtime Gaming has even included 50 paylines.

The features don’t end there. Bubble Bubble 2 comes loaded with three bonus games, all of which award free spins. Greater Ghosts, Wilder Witches and Ultra Bewitched are triggered by landing enough sword scatters, so a round can transform at any moment.

Bubble Bubble 2 is available as a Realtime Gaming free slot right here at Slots Temple.

Theme, graphics & design

Bubble Bubble 2’s graveyard setting could easily have been dour, but Realtime Gaming has wisely opted for a cartoonish and even comic approach to the horror genre. A giant full moon illuminates the scene and bats flit this way and that across a purple sky. Even the Bubble Bubble 2 logo simmers noxious green and emits toxic bubbles.

The setting is extremely impressive and detailed. Small additions, such as a crow with glowing eyes and a giant luminescent spider, bring it to life; in addition, a pair of demonic red eyes will occasionally wink from the trees. The symbol design is similarly well-rendered. The witches are the main characters and, rather than old crones, Realtime Gaming has transformed them into stylish seductresses.

Owls, bats and rats are all wonderfully anthropomorphised, and even the inanimate skull and book symbols arrive in a brilliant splash of colour. It is a bit disappointing - and strange - that Realtime didn’t include a soundtrack with Bubble Bubble 2, as some creepy music would have worked wonders for the atmosphere.

Bubble Bubble 2 RTP and variance

Bubble Bubble 2 is slightly more reliable with its medium volatility, but the slot's RTP hasn’t been made public yet. The top prize of 15,000x will entice a lot of players, but any top payout will always be hard to come by.

How to play Bubble Bubble 2

Bubble Bubble 2 might be full of monsters, but it is not scarily difficult:

1. Give ‘help and rules’ a tap to launch an abbreviated explanation of the game. This includes the paylines, paytable and bonuses, so it is essential reading.
2. Everything else you need is illuminated in green beneath the reels. Adjust your stake using the up/down arrows.
3. Press ‘speed’ to enable turbo spin.
4. Autoplay gives you the choice of up to 100 spins; alternatively, you can opt to make the reels spin until you hit a bonus.
5. It is important to enjoy Bubble Bubble 2 responsibly, so set a budget.
6. Press the fluorescent spin button to start.

Bet & win sizes

Bubble Bubble 2 offers a minimum stake of 0.50 and a top one of 12.50. If you want the maximum single line win of 1,000x, you will have to land five black rat symbols. If this proves too difficult, the payouts for five matching symbols are as follows:

- Rat = 1,000x
- Bat = 1,000x
- Owl = 300x
- Hat = 200x
- Mouse = 200x
- Cauldron = 75x
- Skull = 75x
- Doll = 75x
- Book = 60x
- Candle = 60x
- Potion = 60x

Bubble Bubble 2’s paylines can’t be adjusted from 50, but this is more than enough to form some great combinations. The most you can win on this slot is 15,000x.

Bubble Bubble 2 bonus features

Bubble Bubble 2 comes with three distinct bonus games, which are its best features. They bring real variety to the slot and - if you are lucky! - some great wins:

- Wild Witches

Winni and Wanda appear during the base game. If either land in a winning combination, the subsequent payout will be multiplied by 3x. If you are lucky enough to land both, the multiplier climbs to 9x.

- Greater Ghosts

Land three+ sword scatters and you will be awarded either the Great Ghosts, Wilder Witches or Ultra Bewitched feature. Greater Ghosts triggers an amazing 20 free spins and adds the special ghost wild to the reels for the duration.

- Wilder Witches

This gives you nine free games, but there is potential for much more. If Winni or Wanda appear, they will cast a spell and either transform a reel into identical witch symbols or award 33 extra spins!

- Ultra Bewitched

Players receive seven free spins and an additional wild. More importantly, a full reel will be covered by either Winni or Wanda. Winni covers the first reel and Wanda fills the fifth.

Concluding thoughts

Bubble Bubble 2 captivates with its wonderfully creepy Halloween theme. The graveyard setting, with its cast of Gothic characters, manages to retain a light-hearted feel due to some fantastic cartoon visuals and a gorgeous colour scheme.

It is the three bonus features that make Bubble Bubble 2 a must-play. All the features are quality, so it is impossible to pick a favourite. You are assured of a great time whenever the scatter symbols line up and, as there are additional wilds and a massive 33 free spins to be won, big wins are a real possibility.

Whether you come away with Greater Ghosts, Wilder Witches or Ultra Bewitched, one thing is certain: Bubble Bubble 2 is an unforgettable experience.

The original Bubble Bubble slot is also available here at Slots Temple and is undeniably a classic.
