The main mechanic is linked to two types of respins. When Gertha appears on her reel, the symbol can shift and fill the reel, activating Sticky Wild Respins. Lucretia triggers another version of the feature, Wandering Wild Respins, where the Wild mechanic moves more freely and can create additional winning opportunities.
Theme and style
Ballad of Bardolomew uses a medieval music theme. The visual style resembles a humorous ballad about a travelling bard, combining a tavern, music, colourful characters and a light adventure atmosphere. The pokie belongs to the following categories: medieval pokies, music pokies, video pokies.
Synot Games focuses on a clear structure and bonus respins. There is no overloaded cascade system or complicated multi-level bonus, but there are two different Respin Feature variants that add movement to the base spins.
Popularity among players
Ballad of Bardolomew by Synot Games may interest players from Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Finland, Sweden and New Zealand. The game suits players who choose pokies with a humorous atmosphere, a medieval theme, music and respins instead of classic Free Spins.
The pokie may appeal to those who want to test a story-driven game with characters and two Wild Respin variants rather than an ordinary fruit pokie. A 96.05% RTP in popular versions makes the mathematics clear, while the Gamble Feature adds a separate element of risk after a win.
