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, in which 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 slot belongs to the following categories: medieval slots, music slots and video slots.
Synot Games focuses on a straightforward structure and bonus respins. There is no overloaded cascade system or complex multi-level bonus, but there are two different Respin Feature variants that add dynamics 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 users who choose slots with a humorous atmosphere, a medieval theme, music and respins instead of classic Free Spins.
The slot may appeal to those who want to test a story-driven game with characters and two Wild Respin variants rather than an ordinary fruit machine. An RTP of 96.05% in popular versions makes the maths clear, while the Gamble Feature adds a separate element of risk after a win.
