The Fat Ladies Sing and How

0 Comments   Email   Print

Fat Lady Sings is one of the new online slot games just released by Microgaming. It is an audio visual delight. In fact it will be a great ambassador for online slots because it asserts that the primary function of slot games is to entertain.

Fat Lady Sings is a 5 reel 25 paylines video slot. The coin denomination range varies from $0.01 to $0.25. Players can wager up to 5 coins per line. This leads to a max line bet of $1.25 and a max total bet of $31.25, which is great for low rollers. The music is compelling and it would be foolish to play Fat Lady Sings with the sounds turned off. The reels are set in an ornate frame befitting the opera theme of the slot. Three fat ladies take center stage on the reels. They are the Viking Fat Lady, the Asian Fat Lady and the Fat Lady. They have been styled to perfection with details like hair dos, costumes and accessories executed realistically. The high card values are also as fat and stylized as the ladies themselves. The Fat Lady Sings logo is the wild symbol and the Masks symbol is the scatter symbol.

The largest line payout occurs when five Fat Lady Sings logos line up in an enabled payline. The payout is 3,000 coins, which amounts to $3,750 at max bet. Five scatter symbols anywhere on the reels have a scatter payout of 100 coins. At max bet this amounts to $3,125. If you give Fat Lady Sings a miss because of the low payouts the loss will be yours. The audio visual treat that accompanies the payouts is worth more than the payouts. When the payouts involve only the high card values they are greeted with the thunderous applause reserved for opera divas. But when the fat ladies are involved in the payouts the audio effects and animations are mind blowing. The fat ladies break out of their frame into a real backdrop and with suitable animation break into a high octave. For instance the Fat Lady is depicted in a verdant outdoor background with the sun shining brightly behind her. She takes in a deep breath, expands her chest, spreads her arms, tilts her head back and renders some notes of glass shattering pitch. The animations for the Viking Fat Lady and the Asian Fat Lady are equally thrilling.

Glass shattering is the theme of the free spins bonus round. Three or more scatter symbols trigger this round. Three scatter symbols offers between 5 and 15 free spins, at a multiplier between 1 and 5 and also offer a bonus between 5 and 30 coins. Four scatter symbols offers between 5 and 20 free spins, at a multiplier between 1 and 5 and also offer a bonus between 20 and 70 coins. Five scatter symbols offers between 9 and 30 free spins, at a multiplier between 1 and 5 and also offer a bonus between 70 and 120 coins. The exact numbers are decided by a bonus game. One of the fat ladies introduces the bonus game. Then a screen with a selection of wine glasses is displayed. Players have to pick either a high, medium or low pitch. The Fat Lady breaks a number of glasses with her singing. The number of glasses broken reveals the number of free spins. On the second screen the Asian Fat Lady similarly breaks a number of Japanese ceramic wine jugs to reveal the multiplier and on the third screen the Viking Fat lady shatters beer glasses to reveal the bonus credits.

Fat Lady Sings is a Microgaming slot and can be played at all Microgaming online casinos. CasinoAdvisor recommends Platinum Play, Roxy Palace and All Slots.
