Buster’s Bones™ Review
Buster's Bones™ is the latest offering from master games makers, NetEnt. Featuring a bunch of dynamic mechanics, such as Cluster Pays™ and Avalanche™ falling symbols. It offers a fun, cheerful gaming session with the chance to win up to 973x your stake.
Design
As you'd expect from one of the biggest names in software development, Buster's Bones™ by NetEnt is beautifully animated and strongly resembles a big production Disney or Pixar movie.
The stars of the show are definitely Buster and his cute canine friends. Each one is silly, fun and truly distinctive, making this game a very light-hearted affair.
The background is a typical Wild West landscape, with the game board placed inside a large canyon and when you enter the free spins round, the inside of a smoky saloon bar appears to add to the Western theme of this game.
Dogs, cowboys and Sheriffs are an odd mix, but somehow it all works in this daft and whimsical title.
Game Play
We had high hopes for Buster's Bones™. However, while the base game is made more interesting with the addition of Cluster Pays™ and Avalanche™ falling symbols, there’s really not much else going on.
Buster and his bones are the focus of the game, and that seems to be where NetEnt stopped coming up with ideas.
There is only one bonus round in the form of the Free Spins game, and the whole thing left us with a slight sense of lacking.
It seems that NetEnt concentrated more on the high-end graphics and an upbeat soundtrack than on the actual mechanics of the game.
Win Potential
With medium-high volatility and a very average RTP of 96.07%, Buster's Bones™ should pay out some pretty decent wins from time to time.
The maximum jackpot is 973x your stake, which is by no means the top payout we've seen, but given that the maximum bet amount is 200, there is still a fair jackpot up for grabs.
Our Verdict
If you're after a chilled-out gaming session, Buster's Bones™ might just hit the spot. It’s got some cool features, and it certainly doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Buster and his friends are all brilliantly animated, and they do well to hold your attention throughout a generally jolly slot experience.
While not the most dynamic of slot titles, this game certainly offers a fun session filled with silly characters and the chance to land some decent wins.
Paul spent plenty of time in arcades up and down the UK discovering all of the best fruit machines and watching them grow into the incredible online slots we see today. He still loves the basic format but also has a soft spot for games with big bonus rounds that progress as you play. Immortal Romance is one of his favourite slots of all time.
