Puppet Show - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

It is all in the title in this online slot from game maker Kajot. The 5x3 reel set, which generates up to 234 bet ways paying left to right, are packed with marionettes telling their own mediaeval story.

The game has a special bet way feature, with 3 matching symbols paying across 81 win ways, 4 benefiting with 81 ways to win and finally 5 matching symbols can appear on 234 lines. Mystery and bonus symbols act as scatters and pay when they appear in any position.

When a winning line lands, the symbols forming the line disappear and new symbols fall from above to fill the spaces, meaning players can win multiple times on a single spin. This applies to all wins except those generated by the bonus symbol.

During this phase of the game an increasing multiplier will apply, reaching a potential maximum of x5. 

There is a mystery bonus game and free spins are awarded when the bonus symbol appears, and these can be re-triggered.

The wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the scatters, and if a win with 3, 4 or 5 wilds is lower than the win which would have been paid for just wilds, the player receives the higher win which the wilds would have produced.

In addition to wild, mystery and bonus, there are six other paying symbols. In order of value these are the King, Queen, Princess, Knight, Devil and Nix.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

Puppet Show takes us to a puppet theatre, where the show is telling a mediaeval story of Kings and Queens, a valiant Knight and Princess, and their travails with two evil characters. The reels sit on a stage, framed by rich ruby curtains tied with golden sashes. Lanterns gleam above the stage, and everything is set against a black backdrop. The figures are colourful cartoons that become animated when they form a winning line. An accordion plays in the background, to give the game a Mediterranean setting.

Puppet Show RTP and Variance

The RTP of Puppet Show is 95% and the variance is medium. There are potentially long periods with few rewards, but once a winning line lands there is potential for avalanche wins and multipliers begin to apply to help boost your bankroll.

Players who enjoy lots of win lines will enjoy Fluffy Favourites Megaways available to play in demo mode at Slots Temple. This game has an identical RTP and variance, but many more bet ways.

Puppet Show Review 

This is a fun game from Kajot, with engaging characters and enough features to keep the player engaged. The bonus game and free games take time to trigger, but once in them the rewards are potentially good, even though we found the RTP a little disappointing, given the designer is usually a little more generous. The avalanche feature, and the fact that any spin can land multiple winning lines, means that even in the base game there are chances of big wins.
