Funk Master Slot Machine

Funk Master is a brand new slot machine from NetEnt set in a 70s disco. Among red, yellow, green and iridescent strobe lights alternating on the reels, players can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the era to the rhythm of great danceable funk music while trying to win the richest prize possible offered by the game. On a game grid composed of 8 horizontal reels that can expand up to 12 and 8 vertical reels, one of the first novelties is that there are no paylines, but clusters or groups of symbols that allow wins when aggregated in combinations of minimum 6 icons forward. Funk Master's RTP is calculated at 96.04% and volatility is high.
 

Funk Master slot: general information

The atmosphere in the Funk Master slot is that of the first discos of the 70s, full of colored lights and strobe effects, closely reminiscent of the famous film "Saturday Night Fever". The background music initially consists of funk rhythm songs that are perfectly in tune with the theme, and so are the graphic effects that animate alternating blue backgrounds with purple backgrounds. So all that's left is to let yourself be carried away by the rhythm and place your bets.

The game dynamics offer wins when 6 or more icons aggregate in groups on the reels. The winning symbols are composed of strobe spheres of different colors, and therefore you will see: the orange sphere that offers wins up to 25x, the yellow, green and pink spheres that pay up to 10x, the light blue, purple and blue ones offer prizes up to 5x on the initial bet.

There is also the rainbow sphere that acts as a Wild symbol and some fun red bombs with superscript numbers that work as win multipliers. The minimum base bet amount is €0.20, while the maximum is €200 and the highest win obtainable in a single spin corresponds to 3,337x.

Extra features of the Funk Master slot

Wild: the Wild symbol is represented by the rainbow strobe ball. When it appears in a winning combination, it doesn't disappear from the game grid and moves randomly horizontally, vertically or diagonally relative to the symbols near it. As soon as the Wild symbol moves, the Avalanche feature activates which locks it in its last position. The Wild symbol also functions as a Scatter.

Scatter: When three Wild symbols appear on the main game grid, they function as scatters and reward with 6 free spins.

Free Spins: In addition to being obtained thanks to the presence of 3 Wild symbols, free spins can be bought through the Buy button at a price equivalent to 125 times your base bet. During free spins, Wild icons that activated the feature remain locked in place until they become part of a winning group of symbols. The grid size during free spins changes from 9 horizontal lines to 12 horizontal lines, while vertical reels remain 8.

Dancing Wilds Hotspot: at the beginning of each round, a hotspot is randomly positioned on the reels, highlighting a 3x3 square area. This position remains unchanged on the game grid until it becomes part of a winning combination. If during a round all hotspot positions are locked, a Wild symbol is earned that appears randomly in one of the still mobile positions.

Avalanche: symbols that form a winning combination explode and disappear making room for other possible combinations. This effect continues until there are no more winning groups on the grid.

Multiplier: these are symbols represented by a red bomb each bearing its numerical value starting from x2 up to x10. When two or more multipliers appear in the same round the total win corresponds to the sum of their value.

Increasing Reel Area: during free spins, by unlocking all hotspot positions the horizontal reels expand by one row up to a maximum of 12 additional rows.
