The main feature is linked to the Bloopers characters, which can trigger different mini-features. The game includes Expanding Wilds, falling symbols, random Wilds, additional Free Spins and symbol shuffling.

Bonus features

The Free Spins bonus is activated by special movie-star symbols. During the free spins, the male or female character may become a Sticky Wild on the three middle reels. These Wilds remain in place and help gradually strengthen the bonus round.

The game also includes the random Sountech feature. It may add Sticky Wilds and Respins, creating further chances for winning combinations. Thanks to the mix of Respins, Sticky Wilds and Bloopers mini-features, gameplay feels more dynamic than a simple classic pokie.

Theme and style

Bloopers uses a Hollywood comedy theme. Its presentation resembles the backstage area of a film, with actors, a clapperboard, film reels, the crew and card symbols appearing on the reels. The pokie falls into the following categories: Hollywood pokies, comedy pokies and video pokies.

The visual style is light and cartoon-like. ELK Studios focuses not only on win features but also on the atmosphere of filming chaos, where each character may unexpectedly interfere with a spin.

Popularity among players

Bloopers is popular among players from the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and New Zealand. The game suits users who prefer unusual video pokies with humour, high volatility and bonus features.

The pokie may appeal to players who enjoy 243 ways to win, Sticky Wilds, Respins and bonuses that gradually strengthen the grid. High volatility means the gameplay may be less even, but potentially more eventful during bonus rounds.
