Funk Master Bonus Features
Dancing Wild Symbol
Instead of disappearing off the reels before an Avalanche, Dancing Wild symbols that are part of a winning cluster will randomly shift to one of the unoccupied spots next to them on the reels, whether they be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The Avalanche bonus round begins whenever the Dancing Wild symbol shifts position. Dancing Wild symbols stay in their locations and do not slide down along with other symbols during the Avalanche feature. Dancing wild symbols replace all symbols except multipliers.
Dancing Wild Hotspot
Every time you spin the reels in the main game, a Dancing Wilds Hotspot will appear anywhere on the screen. This hotspot will be a 2x2 square. A Dancing Wilds Hotspot, a 3x3 square region on the reels highlighted by extra wilds, appears at random at the start of the bonus round. Until they're part of a winning cluster, the Dancing Wild Hotspot segments won't be unlocked. Unlocking all of the Dancing Wilds Hotspots in a single round is the only way to earn one Dancing Wild symbol to use in the main game.
Multiplier Symbols
Any win during the main game or Free Spins that involves a Multiplier symbol will have that win multiplied by the Multiplier's value (x2, x3, x5, or x10). If any Multiplier symbols show up on the reels during the main game or bonus rounds, the final prize is raised by the total of their individual values. Winning clusters do not include multiplier symbols.
Free Spins
If you get 3 or more Dancing Wild symbols on the reels during the main game, you'll trigger 6 Bonus Rounds following the Avalanche feature. In the game round that triggered the Free Spins, Dancing Wilds will stay.on the reels at the start of the Bonus Rounds and will remain there until they are part of a winning cluster. The Bonus Rounds start with 9 rows and 8 reels.
Increasing Reel Area
During the Bonus Rounds, if you unlock all Dancing Wild Hotspot positions, the reels will grow by one additional row. The maximum number of rows possible is 12. When the bonus round's reels have been enlarged to their maximum of 12 rows, the Dancing Wilds Hotspots will not reappear until the free spins have concluded.
Buy Feature
To begin the Bonus Rounds, just choose the Buy Option. To use it, you must pay 125 times the initial wager. With this perk, you get one bonus spin in the main game that is guaranteed to trigger 6 Bonus Rounds.
Our Experience Playing Funk Master
When you first start the game, you'll see a field filled with flashing disco balls and hear groovy music that'll make you want to dance. Let's undertake a 300-spin test run to see how it compares to other slots that are comparable. We put in 400 Euros, decided to wager 2 Euros for every spin, and started the first 100 auto spins. We won 114.40 Euros in the Free Spin Bonus Round that we triggered on the very last spin, during which the soundtrack changed and the Dancing Wild symbols started to appear on all of the reels. The total of our account was 100 EUR in the positive. Given the significant volatility of this slot machine, we experimented with decreasing our bet amount to 1. We lost 48 EUR since the payout from 100 spins wasn't enough to cover the expense. To save time, we set our bet to 2 EUR and used the Buy Feature option to trigger the Bonus Games Rounds immediately. It only paid us 160 EUR, so we were still down a total of 40 EUR. We resorted to the same strategy with the expectation of a higher return. For this run, it paid out $235, which is almost enough to recoup the feature's initial investment. We lost 50 EUR from our starting balance. This time, we decided to try a different approach. We started another 100 spins because we felt like it. Even though this attempt resulted in a huge victory of 74 EUR, we were still 70 EUR in the red. We persisted and won 346 EUR in the Bonus Round, increasing our initial balance to 547. One hour later, we were 146 EUR ahead and satisfied with our experience with this slot machine. Play this slot machine without spending any money on the extra feature and aim to win it while playing the main game instead. If you're looking to make some money, this is the game to play.
