Thunderkick are up there with the best when it comes to quality design and Barber Shop Uncut is no exception. The reels include shaving brushes and foam and a cut-throat razor alongside 5 eccentric looking cartoon characters sporting a fine collection of facial fair. The top payer of the characters is the chap with the outlandish handlebar moustache rewarding you with 25 times your stake if you land 5 on a payline.
Every time you land a winner (or hit 3 bonus symbols), the successful symbols will be circled in shaving cream and held in position. You'll then be awarded a re-spin. As long as there's a new symbol added to the original combo the re-spins will keep on coming. A new payout consideration is made with all the extra symbols in place following a spin where no new winner is added. After the last spin, the winning symbols will all get brush up and shave! This is known as the Respin feature.
Keep a special eye out for the Bonus symbol - land 5 of them anywhere on the reels and you'll trigger the Bonus Game feature where you’ll be awarded 10 free spins. 5 may sound like a lot but remember symbols are frozen with re-spins to follow. 2 extra free spins are awarded for every extra bonus symbol that joins your cluster, up to a maximum of 30. You can boost your payouts during the feature via a multiplier that trebles all payouts.
Finally, the feature will always end with a winner thanks to the Inwinity Spin feature - if your final free spin is unsuccessful, you'll be awarded another until you do land a winner.
The visuals on display in Barber Shop Uncut are superb. Many a hipster would give their eye teeth for some of the displays of facial topiary on show from the cartoon characters spinning on the reels. The action plays out to a jaunty backing track that has just a hint of France about it. Gold stars for the Thunderkick design team.
Barber Shop Uncut offers more than just good lucks though. The frozen symbols with re-spins can deliver if you get on a roll, especially with the 3x multiplier during the free spins. With quality design and fine bonus offerings, Thunderkick has delivered another cracker here - I also recommend 1429 Uncharted Seas which looks incredible.
