Fluffy Favourites is a very popular Virtue Fusion design, widely available as an alternative gaming option on online bingo sites. It has recently been added to the list of promoted games on the Wheel of Slots network, giving its growing numbers of fans even more of a boost. The graphics are certainly on the basic side, while the theme is distinctly child-like for an over 18s only game, featuring a colourful soft toy theme. It certainly is old school: much more reminiscent of day on Morecambe Pier than a night in glamorous casino. But this is all part of the game’s real charm. The pastel coloured animals depicted on this five reel, three row, maximum 25 line game include a blue rhinoceros, a purple hippo, and a cerise dragon. At least the goldfish and panda are colour appropriate! Having said that, I’ve always been a bit of a fan of pink elephants myself.
Game Play
There are lots of gaming options on this title. You can vary your stake up to 50p, and the number of lines you can choose is from one up to a maximum of 25. The standard coin size is 1p, so it is possible to wager up to £12.50 per spin (50 x 25 x 1p). But this is not really a game for the big spenders, more one for the end of the pier fun seekers we were referring to earlier. You just need to choose a number of lines and level of wager that you are comfortable with.
The wild symbol on this game is the pink elephant, which can also act as a scatter. A further scatter option is provided by one of those seaside arcade grabbers where you put in your 50p into a machine full of soft toys and one really high value item, like a Sony Play Station. But it doesn’t matter what it is really, because no-one has ever won on those machines. Ever. Fortunately, this is not the case with Fluffy Favourites! In fact, in this game, the mechanical grabbers are especially useful: three or more on any of the three rows will give you a prize pick worth a maximum of 100 x your wager. If you are lucky enough to get all five claws grabbers, you get five picks! The gamble feature is the usual “double or quits” affair, with a massive maximum possible win. But one wrong call and you’ve lost the lot. The soundtrack is well done and unobtrusive, with a nicely triumphant theme when the regular wins come along. Mobile and tablet play is regularly available, and with this being such a simply rendered game, the conversion is an easy process. In fact, this game is a really good one to choose if you are playing on your handset, as it barely requires miniaturisation at all.
Bonus Games
Free spins are achieved by collecting pink elephants: again, they can be anywhere on your three reels. Three elephants earn you 15 free spins, four gains you 20, and all five will bring you 25 free spins. All wins achieved on your free spins are tripled, and you can win still further spins if you get more pink elephants.
Conclusion
For such a simple game, this one is strangely addictive. Definitely a good choice for mobile or tablet play.
