Scatters

come in plural as there are two – one of them is little Mini, which will bark your way from any position on the reels to 10 free spins, in which the prizes are doubled. Sadly, Mini has no payouts during the free games, and the feature cannot be retriggered, but even without this, it offers plenty of chances to get a balance boost.Apart from Mini, there’s also a knock-knock scatter, which pays left to right and triggers a knock-knock bonus, where you are awarded with multipliers.

But this is not all; there’s also a random Grab&Gift Bonus round, which will put you before a little test – you’ll need to stop and grab the gift you want. But no worries if you don’t, because other gifts also award superb prizes, each family member’s containing a different prize pool.

In the end, you may wonder what would be the best way to describe this slot. Frankly, I’m not sure. Is it possible to describe “The Osbournes” at all? I believe not. But I bet you’re going to have a great time with them.
