Plumbing is not the most obvious or even attractive theme for an online slot game. However, someone has come up with a slot based around that very theme. And guess what? We like it – a lot. We’re going to share our review with you here, so you can see if you like it as well. Are you ready to go Down the Drain?
Developer details
This is a tricky one. We played the game at Red Stag Casino and could not find it anywhere else. We also didn’t see any further info anywhere in the game regarding its developer. Don’t let that deter you though – this is an entertaining slot to try.
Does it include a demo version?
Yes, so you can see how everything works.
Is this built around a plumbing theme?
Yep, you’ll see plenty of pipework around those reels as the game gets underway.
The design will put a smile on your face!
The game has a plumber standing by, watching from the right side of the screen. There are lots of suitably amusing icons on the reels, with plumbing covered in spider webs in the background too.
Learn the basics of the Down the Drain online slot game
This is a great five-reel slot without any progressives to be won. It has the plumber appearing as the wild icon, with the word WILD looking rather soggy. The scatter is the plumber’s rear – complete with tattoo – as he peers inside a cupboard. This can show up on reels one, three, and five.
There is a respin scatter too – labeled with the word RESPIN and showing a mop, bucket, and caution sign. This is restricted to the third reel. A red wrench can also appear in the game on the odd-numbered reels and is labeled as a bonus symbol.
Paylines?
There are none, as this is an all ways pays game. That means there are potentially 243 ways to get some prizes.
Placing bets on the game
Your credit value is between a cent and five dollars. The minimum wager is 40x your coin value, so the minimum per spin is 40 cents.
Where is the paytable?
You’ll find it in the top right corner of the game.
Bonus feature
Three bonus icons appearing anywhere over the reels trigger the bonus round. You must repair broken pipes using the available wrenches. This leads to multiplier prizes that are calculated once the round is complete.
Find the plumber to get some free spins
That’s the plumber’s rear, which must appear three times to get eight freebies. Once in the free games feature, any extra free spin icon that appears adds a further freebie to your remaining total.
There is the respin scatter too, of course. Finding one of these on the third reel gives you a free respin. That’s easy to remember, huh?
RTP value for Down the Drain
This one comes in at 96% according to the paytable.
Our rating for Down the Drain
A plumbing theme could easily have gone down the drain. However, this game has got a bit of everything. We love it that much we are going to grant it a score of 9 out of 10. If it had 3D graphics, it would have been a 10 out of 10 for sure.
Winners could benefit from the leaking tap…
This icon delivers 1,000 credits if five appear over the five reels. There is also the potential to do well throughout the bonus round if you can get there.
