Along with other sectors, the gambling industry has been revolutionized by technological advancements making a wide range of slot games that were once only accessible at brick-and-mortar venues now available via virtual casinos. These advances are being used by industry-leading providers of game content, such as NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Microgaming, Play’n GO, and others, to develop state-of-the-art online slots. Some providers release as many as eight new titles a month; one such company is Pragmatic Play.
The B2B provider of digital casino games was founded in 2015 and since then has grown to become one of the most respected and highly regarded providers in the industry, with a presence in over 80 countries worldwide, and certified and licensed in more than 20 jurisdictions. The provider’s multi-product portfolio comprises award-winning slots, live casino, scratch cards, virtual sports, sportsbook, and more, all available via mobile and desktop and in 33 languages and all currencies.
Slot Features
Online slots developed by Pragmatic Play can be found at licensed and regulated virtual casinos. As a matter of fact, the premier software provider has just launched its latest title, Country Farming. The 5-reel, 3-row high volatility game plays like a classic slot and has 20 paylines. The return to player (RTP) is 96.7 percent (when playing in regular mode), along with Mystery symbols, Fixed Jackpots, free spins, and a top prize of 10,000x the bet.
Players will find that life in this rural setting is represented well here, with a bale of hay, scarecrow, redwood barn, tractor, and all the critters you would typically find on a farm, such as the regular paying symbols, which, in ascending order are, a carrot, corn, pumpkin, turkey, duck, chicken, pig, sheep, and cow. They pay 1.5 to 50x the bet for a five-of-a-kind winning line, when like symbols land from the far left side over consecutive reels. Meanwhile, a happy pooch serves as the wild symbol, and is present on all reels. Fido replaces all regular pay symbols and pays up to 100x the bet when you land a five-of-a-kind winning line.
Instant Money Bonus Award
When the reels stop spinning at the end of each spin, every Mystery symbol in view transforms into one of the nine regular pay symbols. This is done randomly. Another exciting feature of Country Farming, Jackpot symbols can appear on all reels. If you manage to land five or more of them, you will trigger an instant money bonus award. That is, landing 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 jackpot symbols awards 10x, 60x, 250x, 1,000x, or 10,000x the bet, respectively.
Lastly, appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4, the grey-haired farmer serves as the scatter symbol and landing at least three of them unlocks the bonus and awards 10 free spins. During the bonus round, if a Jackpot Wild symbol appears it can be used to replace any regular pay symbol. You can also use it in combination with any Jackpot or Jackpot Wild symbol for a chance to land one of the fixed jackpots – Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand. Hitting three scatters in the feature awards an extra 10 free spins!
Joining the farm-themed slot are other recent releases Sticky Bees and Sugar Twist, each of which are part of the software provider‘s 300-plus HTML online casino games portfolio.
