Starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy and Chris O'Dowd, Bridesmaids followed the misadventures of an unlucky maid of honour charged with getting her best friend to her dream wedding on time and in one piece. The film proved to be a massive box office hit when it hit the big screen in 2011. Does the slot version match up?
First impressions are good - the visuals are top quality and include a selection of photo style images of the main characters from the reels. They can appear as stacked symbols offering even more chances to win. The Bridesmaids logo is the wild. It substitutes for everything apart from the cupcake and can appear as stacked.
3 cupcake symbols trigger the bonus feature - here you'll be presented with a 'Wheel of Fortune' style wheel offering a variety of payouts and bonus offerings. First pick a cupcake to reveal a multiplier. The wheel will spin to reveal the feature.
If you find the multiplier it will multiply your total bet by the amount shown - the more cupcakes that triggered the feature, the bigger the potential multipliers. Land in the jackpot segment and you'll be awarded that amount as a cash bonus.
Find the Friendship Free Spins feature and you'll be awarded 10 free spins with stacked symbols. Annie is stacked on reels 1 and 2, Lillian on 3 and Helen on 4 and 5. More free spins can be triggered if you hit 3 more cupcake symbols. Payouts in this round are made from both left to right and right to left.
The second potential free spins offering is the Flying High Free Spins feature. Once again you'll be awarded 10 free spins but this time the round is boosted by Rolling Reels where winning symbols are zapped and replaced by the symbols above for another spin.
The extra spins keep on coming as long as there's a winning combination on the reels. This round also features growing wilds where the Bridesmaids symbol grows by one on each spin. This can happen on multiple reels and reach up to 13 symbols, greatly improving your chances of a winner.
In the Boutique Bonus feature you have to find matches from the 12 boxes shown. Two of the same will award a prize. Carry on picking until you find two bridesmaids symbols which brings the feature to a close. Finally there's the Magic Moments Bonus feature which is a classic pick me round. 10 photos will be shown, behind which are a selection of bonus prizes. Carry on picking until you find the I'm Sorry symbol which ends the feature.
The bonus wheel doesn't appear all that often but it can offer some very impressive results when it does hit. The overall variance is in the medium range. Bridesmaids is aimed primarily at slots players who enjoyed the film - even if you are unfamiliar with the source material, the bonus features offer plenty of entertainment.
With maximum payouts of up to 1,750 times your stake, this comedy-themed title can certainly have you smiling. If you like branded slots, Microgaming also offers you Jurassic Park which is a bit more male-friendly.
