Theme, Graphics & Sounds in Charlie's Angels 

This game has a solid theme built around the TV and movie franchise of Charlie’s Angels. The graphics land on a stylised '80s look, while the sounds hark back to the '70s.

Game theme in Charlie's Angels slot

This game is based on the famous Charlie’s Angels, a popular 1970s TV show that enjoyed a well-received movie reboot in the noughties. Whether the concept of three sexualised female ‘angels’ working for a male boss would go down as well with today’s audience is questionable, but the theme lends itself perfectly to the slot format. 

Graphics in Charlie's Angels slot

The TV show started in the 1970s but continued into the early '80s, and it is a 1980s aesthetic that Light & Wonder have decided to go with here. The neon background is meant to emulate Las Vegas with its diamond-shaped game logo and palm-lined streets. The main colour theme is pink and blue, and many of the symbols feature neon colours. The high winning symbols are the Angels themselves, as well as a radio, a target and Charlie, the boss. The lower-paying winning symbols include the playing card digits J to A.

Sounds in Charlie's Angels slot

The game starts with Charlie’s voice, with his famous catchphrase, ‘Good morning Angels!’ The soundtrack has a funky '70s action vibe.

Charlie's Angels Bonuses 

The slot game has multiple bonuses in the base game, along with an exciting free spins feature.

Wild 

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols apart from the jackpot scatter symbol. When it can, it will help form a payline win.

Expanding Wilds

Each time a wild appears on a reel, an arrow will light up above the reel. If all three arrows light up over one reel, the triggering wild will expand to cover the entire reel. The expanded wild will remain in place until it helps form a win. If the player changes the bet size, the reel arrow meters will reset.

Free Spins

Any Angel-based payline win will be added to the bonus bar. If the bonus bar fills by the end of a round (including all cascade wins), the free spins feature will be activated. Players can choose their free spins feature from the following options:

• 4 Free Spins with x7 starting win multiplier
• 7 Free Spins with x4 starting win multiplier
• 10 Free Spins with x1 starting win multiplier
• Random: One of the above combinations will be randomly chosen

During free spins, the multiplier will increase during each cascade from the starting multiplier. Wilds expand every time they land during this bonus feature. It is also possible to fill the bonus bar and retrigger free spins. Unusually, if, at the end of the feature, the player has not achieved a total win of more than x10 their total bet, three additional free spins will be awarded. The Jackpot Scatter is only in play in free spins (see below).

Jackpot Scatter Symbol

The jackpot scatter is the key to the jackpot amounts displayed to the left of the reels. The max jackpot is x1000 the total bet and is awarded when players land six jackpot scatters in one spin.
