Bob’s Bowling Bonanza is played for real money, although players often opt to play the free trial version before playing the real money version. In this way, they are able to understand the game better before they make a deposit. Players who wish to play the real money version purchase coins using their casino account. These coins are available for a number of different values, ranging from as low as $0.01 and with a maximum value of $0.25. Players can wager up to 20 coins on a single payline, with the maximum wager being 600 coins, which at maximum coin denomination is worth $150. Both the high rollers and the low rollers therefore can play this game.
The additional features in Bob’s Bowling Bonanza are a scatter symbol, a wild symbol and a bonus feature on the second screen. The wild symbol is the Strike symbol, which only appears on the fifth, the third and the first reel. This symbol acts as a substitute for missing symbols in a winning combination. When the Strike wild symbol appears thrice on a single activated payline, then it triggers the Perfect Game bonus feature. In this bonus round, the player participates in a bowling game, where he/she knocks down Bowling Pins in order to uncover a random prize.
The scatter symbol is the Bowling Ball symbol. This symbol behaves differently from all the other symbols, since it can appear anywhere on the reels to reward the player with a payout when it appears 2 or more times. When the player completes a scatter winning combination, he/she is awarded a 1x, 5x, 20x or 200x multiplier which is applied to the initial triggering amount. The jackpot amount of 5000 coins is awarded to the player when there are five Bob symbols on any one activated payline.
