Georgie Porgie Slot Review

For those of you who aren’t aware of it, Georgie Porgie is a popular English nursery rhyme, and its roots go right back to the 1840s. The most common lyrics of the rhyme tells the tale of a boy who kissed girls, but wouldn’t play with the other boys. It goes, “Georgie Porgie, Puddin’ and Pie, kissed the girls and made them cry. When the boys came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away”. The character of Georgie has been linked to various historical figures, including George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, Charles II and George I, however, this is merely speculation. However, it could also be about the Great Fire of London, which started in Pudding Lane and reportedly finished at Pye Corner. With this in mind, ‘the boys’ may refer to the firefighters, while Georgie could be the arsonist running away. However, Microgaming have created a slot game which takes the schoolboy version of the nursery rhyme and presents it in a cartoon-like form. Each of the icons and the general design of the game is quite visually pleasing, and it presents you with an intriguing representation of this classic tale.

High School Kisses

As far as this game goes, you’ll find that it features a very general video slot layout, including five reels and three rows. It’s upon these reels that you’ll be able to see the various different symbols, which begin with the A, J, K, Q and 10 icons regularly found in such products. Joining these are other icons which relate more closely to the nursery rhyme of Georgie Porgie. So, you’ll first of all see an icon of Georgie himself, who has been designed as a buck-toothed, wavy haired, glasses-wearing nerd of a boy. Two girls make up another icon, one of whom is in tears after having possibly been kissed by the titular character. Another one is that of the boys ‘coming out to play’, and these are designed in the form of butch football guys. You’ll also find a shot of Georgie running away from the high school boys, and there’s the addition of a tube of breath freshener.

Alongside these reels, rows and icons, you’ll find that a total of 15 different pay lines have also been added by Microgaming, and these are all fixed in the same position. Therefore, you’re not able to customise the lines in any sort of way. What you do have the chance to customise though, is the amount of the bet you’re able to place per spin. This is able to be altered by using the arrow buttons on either side of the ‘Bet’ box, and this provides you with a range of between $0.15 and $150 per round. Additionally, you can make use of the ‘Auto Play’ button, and this will allow you to spin the reels several consecutive times at the same wager level.

Nursery Rhyme Specials

As far as the special features of this game go, its logo acts as a wild symbol. In doing so, it will substitute for all other icons on the reels in order to form a winning combination. The only exception to this rule is the scatter symbol. However, it also features another perk, because any win which includes the wild symbol will also provide a pay out multiplied by five. However, if it appears during the freespins round of the game, it will provide a 25 times multiplier. On top of all that, if you manage to spin five of the wild icons on to a winning pay line, you’ll receive a maximum pay out of 75,000 coins, depending upon the wager you have placed.

The tube of breath freshener is what represents this game’s scatter symbol, so you should definitely keep an eye out for it. You’ll need to spin three or more of these on to the reels in order to trigger its special feature, and you’ll be given between 15 and 25 freespins altogether. And furthermore, you’ll be given a multiplier of your bet placed. If you manage to spin three or more scatters again during the freespins round of the game, you will be rewarded with an extra two times multiplier spin.

Rhyming Nursery Song

It can be difficult to aptly present a game based on certain themes, and Georgie Porgie is hardly one of the longest childrens’ nursery rhymes in existence. However, Microgaming have managed to construct an entertaining enough game for all players.
