Surfs up Spinners! It’s time to catch some rays and win big prizes with Wipeout, Barcrest’s energetic surfing-themed slot machine, which really gets you into the summer spirit. This is one of Barcrest’s most popular online slots and that is of no surprise with it boasting bright, bold colours on very funky symbols, an incredible free spins mode, and it is available on mobile and tablet devices as well as desktop - enabling you to win big playing in the sun!
Set on the backdrop of a wave, Wipeout is a 5-reel, 10-payline slot machine which is a regular structure we have become accustomed to from Barcrest. The number of lines playable can be altered from 1 to 10, and the stake per line can be adjusted from as little as 2p up to £30. This means wallet watchers can play all paylines for just 20p while high-stakes slots players can risk a mammoth £300 per spin.
Bar-X-Bar 5 Slots. This is a typical 3-reel bar and noughts and crosses slots game made famous in UK penny arcades and fairgrounds. The game has all the features that you would expect from this sort of pub fruit machine, and can be played for free. It can be played completely free or if you feel lucky you can play online for real money, Play from as little as 1p per spin and win up to £250,000 (in any 24 hour period!!). If you're new to Sky Vegas you can take advantage of the £100 welcome bonus, which can be used on the Bar X Magic 7 slot or anything else in the online casino.
Casino of the year 2021Read Casino ReviewWipeout brings a unique theme to Barcrest’s range of games with its surfing theme, but it’s the symbols and sounds included that truly make it stand out and enjoyable to play. The symbols have a funky cartoon style with bright and bold colours used and those you will encounter on the reels include a Wild (the words Wild on a wave), Scatter (the Surfer riding a wave), a big wave, a Volkswagen camper van, sun with its tongue out, and standard Ace to Jack playing card symbols.
The high-tempo sounds used by Barcrest really enhance the gameplay of Wipeout, bringing a unique and energetic feel about the slot as you play. One that stood out to me was the Surfer saying ‘Radical Dude’ after I landed a big win, with background music playing as he drifted to the middle of the screen on a board celebrating my big win. Each and every win is also accompanied by the sound of a cashiers till ringing as your winnings are added to your balance – always a pleasant moment!
When you land three or more Scatter symbols (Surfer) you will initiate the exciting, and very lucrative, free spins bonus round. There are also instant wins multiplied by the line bet rewarded with the amount dependant on the number of Scatter symbols you landed to start the free spins feature - three earning you 5x, four earning you 25x, and five earning you a colossal 250x.
You begin with a total of 5 free spins and three lives, which are visible in a meter on screen, with two additional symbols to watch out for – the Surfer’s head which provides you with an extra life, and the Surfer falling off his board which takes a life away. Sadly the maximum number of lives you can have is three, but each time either of these symbols lands you receive a win worth 4x the bet.
Should you be lucky enough to last 25 free spins you are rewarded with a 20x bet bonus, while reaching 50 free spins will see the feature finish but reward you with a 200x bet bonus. While reviewing this slot I managed to make it to 21 free spins which highlights just how generous this slot plays – and the potential big wins up for grabs.
While it isn’t as extravagant as some of the more modern 3D slot machines, Wipeout is a winner in every way. It is the only surfing-themed slot from Barcrest therefore we have to look further afield for comparisons such as NetEnt's Wild Water and Microgaming's Surf Safari, and in my opinion, it blows them out of the water.
The vibrant colours used for the background and symbols, energetic sounds played throughout gameplay, exciting free spins mode that often reaps massive wins, and the vast betting options available enable players of all staking levels to enjoy Wipeout. It is no surprise that this is one of their most played online slot machines and I have no doubt you will be spinning the Wipeout reels in the sun all summer once you give it a go!
