Big Show Slot Machine Overview
Atmosphere / Background
Big Show is set in a background that resembles a large stage production. The
game is designed to resemble that of the popular TV game shows. The stage is all
set up for your turn at the wheel. Behind the reels you get a glimpse of what
looks like a wheel spinning and below the reels you see an animated runway
that’s leading you to the game.
On both sides of the reels you have your assistants that are there to help
you win big. These two lovely ladies didn’t get any special treatment so they’re
not animated in anyway. They were however beautifully drawn so at least they
have that.
With all the elements of a large stage production the atmosphere of the game
makes you feel like you’re in the spot light trying for the big prize. Take a
deep breath and give it a shot, you just might win big.
Music and Sound Effects
Big Show doesn’t fail with the soundtrack option. The soundtrack is similar
to the intro to games like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and just adds to the
overall feel of the game. The track is made up of drum beats mixed in with a
little horn action.
The track is a repeating track and lags on restart once it has played through
completely. This isn’t really that noticeable when you’re playing because of the
reel spin and win notification sounds. The reel spin is similar to many other
games. The win notification reminds us of when you’re playing a video game and
collecting coins so that was a great match for the win notification.
Animations
For a game that’s emulating the games shows on TV this game is lacking when
it comes to animations. You’ll find some animations in the background in the
form of the spinning wheel behind the reels and the moving runway that you see
at the bottom of the screen.
The symbols also have animation attached to them but nothing like what we
expected when the game first loaded. The winning symbols activate the animation
and cause the symbols to disappear and reappear and the frame of the symbol
lights up and shimmers, but that’s the best it gets.
We were expecting the two assistants to have some animation during the game
but were disappointed. They could’ve been interacting with the game and cheered
when you win or something. The animations may be a little disappointing but I
don’t think this is that big of a deal.

Symbol Graphics
Big Show has great symbol design. The symbols are all theme oriented and
beautifully designed. The only thing we found that we didn’t like with the
symbols was that most of them seem to be drawn as if they’re far away.
The designers could have drawn them a little closer up so we got the feel for
the detail of the image. The bonus symbol is a great example; they chose to use
bikini wearing women for this symbol. We’re sure that most of the men who play
the game will be rather disappointed that they can barely even tell that they’re
missing most of their clothes.
Other than the distance in the symbols the graphics in the game are great and
make the game fun and entertaining which makes you want to keep playing.
Big Show Slot Extra Feature
777igt brings the special features to the game in many different ways. This
game has three jackpots that you have a chance at winning added to the normal
wilds, free spins, and bonus features you find in most games.
The jackpots come in three different sizes. You have the Mega jackpot as the
first one which is of course the biggest pay out possible in the game. To win
this jackpot you have to get five of the cruise ship symbols on the reels at the
same time.
The next jackpot you can win is the Minor jackpot. To trigger this win you
have to get five of the jet soaring through the sky. This jackpot won’t have as
big a payout as the Mega but it still is higher than any payout the game has to
offer.
The smallest of the three jackpots is aptly named the Mini jackpot. This
jackpot can be won when you get five of the orange sports cars on the reels at
the same time. Just like its name you win a smaller pay out if you win this
jackpot but who really cares as long as you win right?
The regular special features are also a big plus when playing the game. The
wild for this game is a VIP icon. It subs for all of the regular symbols in the
game. Just like most other wild symbols it won’t sub for the scatter, bonus,
free spin, or any of the jackpot symbols.
The free spins feature for this game is represented by a large roll of cash
waiting to be taken away on the money train. If you get three or more of these
symbols anywhere on the reels you trigger the free spins. You receive an
allotted amount of spins based on the number of symbols on the reels. You’ll be
awarded between 5 and 15 free spins.
The bonus game is another special feature that can be found in the game. When
you get three or more of the bonus symbols on the reels you trigger the bonus
game. The bonus game is a little on the confusing side but it still makes you a
winner so it can’t be that bad.
You’re taken to a new screen where you hit a play button and two spot lights
start lighting up the ladies on the stage. When you click the mouse the spot
light stops and once you’ve clicked it twice you’re awarded by the ladies.
With all these special features you’ll want to keep playing to see just how
many times you can trigger one of these great features.
Betting Options
Big Show offers you 100 pay lines. Since the pay lines are not fixed on this
game you can decide if you want to play all 100 or not. When you place your
wager it’s divided up to cover the selected amount of pay lines.
Like all other games that have unfixed pay lines we recommend you play all of
the available lines. Playing all of the pay lines only increases your chance at
getting a jackpot win or triggering a special feature. When you start lowering
the pay lines being played you take the chance of missing a big win because you
weren’t playing the line.
This game offers you the ability to change the value of your bet after each
spin. The range of betting is set from .01 to $1 per spin.
These betting options allow for anyone interested in playing the game to come
and take a spin in the high lie of game shows. Even the most conservative
gamblers should find this game to be just right for them.
Game Rules
Big Show game rules are in line with most other 5 reel slot machines. Below
are the main rules:

reel.
- If two or more wins are formed in the same line, only the highest payout

Conclusion
For those who love a big production this game is perfect. Even with the less
than inspiring animations 777igt did a great job bringing the game show to the
player.
The symbols for the game are well crafted and theme oriented. They have great
pay outs and with the sheer number of them you’ll find yourself making more
winning combinations the longer you play. The special features for this game are
great as well.
The scatter symbol gives free spins, and who doesn’t like free stuff? These
spins start automatically once they’re triggered and continue without you having
to press the spin button.
Then you have the wild and bonus which both have great features associated
with them. The wild subs for all symbols and replaces the highest paying symbol
any time it makes a winning combination. The bonus triggers its own game and can
really help add to your winnings.
The jackpots just keep adding to the excitement of the game. With this game
you don’t just get one jackpot, you get a chance at three different ones. All
three have great pay outs that just keep accumulating as you play.
Big Show is a game that you can’t go wrong with. It has everything you want
in a game and more. It works for all players from the conservative gambler to
the high roller. This game has something for everyone and should keep you coming
back for more.
