Oily Business Slot Review

Oily Business is a slot machine that’s based on a very unusual theme – one that’s based on an oil rig out in the heart of the ocean. You and your crew and living aboard this floating metal structure and you all have one goal – to extract as much oil as possible to make the most money.

Oily Business is one of 10 slot machines from Play ‘n Go that offer liked progressive jackpots. The other titles that offer these three same progressive jackpot totals are; Monster Mash, Ring the Bells, Spin & Win, Cowboy Treasure, Jazz of New Orleans, Hunt for Gold, Gem Drop, Piggy Bank and Mr Toad. It’s hard to tell you the exact amount that can be won with these progressive jackpots but usually, the Tasty Jackpot offers roughly 40.00, the Luxury Jackpot offers in excess of 600.00 and the Dream Chance Jackpot offers over 100,000.

There are 5 reels and 5 fixed paylines to the Oily Business slot game and you can play from as little as 0.05 a spin or as much as 50.00 a spin – the more you stake, the more you can get your hands on.

Are you ready to try and negotiate a deal of a lifetime with oil companies across the globe? Your input could see your bankroll rewarded with some eye-watering amounts of cash.

Barrel of Fun

You can expect to find symbols such as barrels of oil and wads of cash flying around the reels in this slot game – thanks to its unusual theme. The reels of the game are based out in the open air on an oil rig, you can see additional oil rigs in the distance with blue skies for as far as the eye can reach. Your eyes may go a little funny with the various colour combinations on the reels – these are from the following symbols; oil rig, cargo ship, stock graph, helicopter, stacks of notes, oil barrels and card values 10, J, Q, K and A being displayed via different work colleagues and the oil rig.

Drilling for Jackpots

Progressive jackpots can be won by triggering the scatter bonus. The amount you can win corresponds with the wheel that you win on –but, more about this later in this review.

During the base game, the biggest wins come from five of a kind of the scatter symbols – this awards a 300-coin payout. Five of the oil rig symbols on your active payline will award you a 200-coin payout.

Stock Bonuses

To start with, the oil rig is your wild and as wilds do, it replaces other symbols (bar scatter and bonus) to help you form winning combinations. The bonus game is triggered when three or more wilds land in view – which is rather odd, as usually the bonus game is awarded when three or more symbols fall onto the reels. Anyway, during the bonus game, a map will fill your screen and you need to choose an area to start drilling. You can win up to 25 bonus games with five extra wilds.

Free spins are triggered via the bonus and the great news is you can re-trigger the free spins up to 200.

There are two scatters to this slot game; the cargo ship and the golden medal symbol. The cargo ship will award a multiplier value when they fall into view whilst the golden medal symbol will award the progressive jackpot bonus. Depending on the amount of golden medal symbols that fall on the reels, will determine which wheel you get to spin. Land on an arrow on the wheel to progress to the next, but if you land on the coloured section – you will win that corresponding progressive jackpot.

Gamble – double or triple any base game win with this feature. Pick from the symbols on the screen to try and get your hands on even more cash.

Official Outcome

We found the Oily Business slot machine to a medium to high variance slot. The bonus game is a tough one to trigger and it’s this that awards free spins. Big wins can be accumulated during these features, but bigger wins can fall when you hit those progressive jackpot wheels. The design is rather unique and offers some great gameplay with limited distractions.
