The Big Bopper

By Becky M. | Updated 13 November 2024

The Big Bopper is a 6-reel, 3-row video slot from RTG. It operates on an All Ways Pay basis, which effectively delivers the equivalent of 729 pay lines. This music-themed slot is based on 3 legends of the 1950s – Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper J P Richardson, and is so packed with features you won’t have time to get bored.

Games

Spin the reels on the slot and you are presented with stunning graphics in the form of 50s-style microphones, record players, telephones, transistor radios, LPs, juke boxes, music notes and gold records. There are bonus rounds, Free Spins, Wilds and Scatters, along with a respin feature too. Keep your wits about you in this busy slot and you could take home some very tidy payouts indeed. The Big Bopper is available to play across all types of device, and offers a massive jackpot of up to 30,000x your bet per way.

Design

The 1950s generated so much iconic imagery that the designers at RTG must have been rubbing their hands in glee. They have squeezed as much as possible into the visuals, from the 50s font for the header to the stage backdrop to the gold-rimmed reels complete with star lights for the main characters, and everything in between.

Bonuses and Features

Wild – represented by the Big Bopper himself, and appearing on reels 2, 3 and 5. Will substitute all symbols. Wild wins receive a 3x Multiplier

Scatter – represented by the BOPPER symbol, and forms a winning AllWays combo when it appears on adjacent reels from L-R and R-L

Respin Feature – triggered when 3, 4, or 5 Scatters land adjacently L-R or R-L on the reels. Reels with Scatters are held, while the others repsin. Land another Scatter and the process is repeated

The Game also offers 3 Additional Features:

Big Bopper Instant Win – The Big Bopper launches into a rendition of Chantilly Lace and a jackpot of up to 20x your bet is awarded – if he carries on crooning you could also win up to 50x, 100x or 250x your bet

Chantilly Lace Free Games Feature – Free Games are awarded as long as the Big Bopper keeps singing, up to a total of 45 Free Spins with a possible Multiplier of up to 10x on offer too

White Lightening Free Games Feature – The Big Bopper starts singing White Lightening and the Free Spins continue for as long as he does – the White Lightening symbol replaces the BOPPER scatter during this Feature
