Spike, the British Bulldog, wants a night out on the town with his doggy pals. Spike’s Nite Out shows their exploits in the form of a five reel video slot created by Microgaming. There are scatter wins and the chance to play in a bonus game which pays homage to the famous Dogs Playing Poker by C. M. Coolidge.

Spikes Nite Out Slot Theme

A dimly lit backbar plays host to Spike and his canine cohort as they settle in for a night of poker. The reels are surrounded by wooden panels to imitate an upper class gentleman’s establishment, but in this case it’s for pooches only.

Icon designs include spikes nite out logos, six different pooches, poker champ collars, doggy time neon signs, all in dog bowl, stacks of chips and bonus icons. Each of these icons provides an insight into the nights events. There’s a jumping stack, tied up kitty, revolving collar and beer chugging Alsatians.

The visual elements are accompanied by various sound effects. A jazz tune plays in the background whilst each spin is marked by a piano tune. There’s also plenty of barking, slobbering and moaning at key points during the normal game and bonus round.

Betting Options and More Functions

Wagers are varied and start from 1 penny. There are many other options which increase steadily to the £/$/€30 maximum. Players can choose to spin the reels manually or use automatic plays (switch to expert mode for this).

Spikes Nite Out Slot Features

Spikes Nite Out logos are wild which means they can fill in for any other single icon to create a winning payout. The only exception here is the doggy time scatter.

Doggy Time scatters award coin prizes when two or more appear on the reels. Three or more will unlock the Bonus Time game. You must pick from six dogs who then reveal a bonus amount. The number of picks received depends on the number of triggering icons. All winnings are added up and transferred to your account at the end of the round.

Our Take on Spikes Nite out

Dogs Playing Poker remains to this day one of the most famous paintings around, especially in gambling circles. This slot combines modern elements with that initial theme with entertaining results.
