The Boulder Bucks slot is a Barcrest slot machine themed around the prehistoric caveman period, with Flintstones-like characters; dino included. There are three versions of the free spins bonus you can choose from, and a unique feature of the Boulder Bucks slot is that after the free spins are done, you may just get a chance to reject the small win and try again!

As is frequently common in Barcrest games, other than the usual spins you’ll be given a chance to pay a fixed amount for a certain number of spins that have a special feature. In the case of Boulder Bucks, you can pay $/£20 for 5 spins with a Boulder Smash bonus, or $/£30 for 5 spins with a Mega Boulder Smash bonus. And this just means you’ll have a bigger chance of entering the free spins game, as you might be given a Pick Me symbol that can award free spins. Players in the bookies on the FOBT machines may be familiar with the concept of the Mega Games, the online versions are very similar, without the cap of the minimal £500 jackpot.

The player doesn’t actually lose anything by playing the fixed stake game, as the entire bet is still distributed over 10 paylines, it’s just that you’re forced to bet more than you might want to for a slightly increased RTP. The usual bet per spin can range from 0.10 to 500 in your casino currency, and if your stake is smaller than £2 you’ll play with a reduced paytable which will make the theoretical return 94.09%. With a stake £2 or higher, the theoretical return on Boulder Bucks is 96.13%, and the Big Game, with fixed stake per 5 spins, provides a theoretical return of 98.00%. What all this means is that ideally you want to play the Big Bet game, either for £20 or £30 per 5 spins, and if you don’t you’ll be playing with reduced payouts. These percentages relate to the online version of the Boulder Bucks slot, the FOBT version has lower RTP’s.

When you trigger the free spins bonus game on the Boulder Bucks slot you’ll get to choose between three possible scenarios: 20 free spins with expanding wilds, 10 free spins with side expanding wilds, or 6 free spins with persistent expanding wilds. Side expanding wilds mean a lot in this 10-payline setup so that’s probably the best choice. But, depending on how you triggered the free spins game, you might have an extra chance or even two, in which case you’ll get to play out one of the scenarios and then either keep the winnings or reject them and play a different scenario. Excellent, as it greatly reduces the variance of the free spins game, you can reject a small win and try again, however you won’t be able to go back to the previous offer, which may have been higher than your later choices.
As well as the free spins bonus from the three scatter symbols, picks may also be awarded via three eggs landing on the centre reels. These eggs will either award from one to three picks, or a credit multiplier.

Boulder Bucks is a very good slot, even on the fixed odds betting terminals (FOBT’s) where the percentages are renowned for being extremely low. The game doesn’t pay too often so you do need every edge you can get, otherwise Boulder Bucks will drain your bankroll. Fans of Barcrest games will be pleased with this one, and everyone else better be aware that Big Bet is the only proper way of playing this slot game. Boulder Bucks can be a profitable slot machine but it does require some skill on your end.
