Flodder: Slot Overview
If you're unfamiliar with Dutch cinema, it's unlikely Flodder
from Red Tiger will be immediately recognisable. Flodder is ♣️ a satirical film released
in 1986 about a family forced to leave their state-owned house after finding toxic
waste beneath ♣️ it. A social worker called Sjakie decides to move the Flodders to
'Zonnedael', the best part of Amsterdam, in the ♣️ hopes that the upper-class environment
will have a positive effect on the family. What ensues is hilarity as the two ♣️ social
classes clash before reconciling at the end in a big engagement party. Flodder received
mixed reviews when it was ♣️ first released but went on to attract a cult following and
was admitted to the Canon van de Nederlandse Film ♣️ in 2007. Following the original film
came Flodder in Amerika and Flodder 3, plus a TV series which aired from ♣️ 1993 to 1998.
Now, we have the online slot version.
Flodder the slot is played outside the family
home, in the ♣️ affluent part of town, with a big pink car parked in the drive. Red Tiger
has added several thoughtful touches ♣️ to emphasise the contrast between the suburban
paradise and Flodder's wilder nature, such as a banana peel on the pavement, ♣️ trash on
the front lawn, and undies draped on the letterbox. The visual style is quite unique,
too, and mixing ♣️ cartoon graphics with a more artistic flair helps reinforce the idea
that despite societal stratification, deep down we're not all ♣️ so different when we make
an effort to get along.
Hosted on a 5-reel, 3-row game grid, players make use of ♣️ 25
fixed paylines to hit winning combinations across. Flodder's numbers aren't bad, but
nothing hugely noteworthy either, starting with a ♣️ theoretical return value of 95.75%
and decent max win potential at 7,564x. The math model runs medium volatile, and while
♣️ there are quite a lot of moving parts in the game, the vast majority only appear during
the free spins ♣️ bonus round. Playable on any device, stake range is limited to 10 p/c
toR$/€10 per spin.
Landing at least three matching ♣️ symbols in adjacent reels from the
left-hand side triggers a win, and Flodder provides 10 pay symbols to work with. ♣️ This
includes 10-A card ranks on the low side, worth 2 to 6 times the stake for five of a
♣️ kind, and five characters as the high pays. These are the dog, son Kees, daughter Kees,
Johnnie, and Ma Flodder, ♣️ paying 8 to 50 times the stake for a winning line of five
matching symbols. Three types of wild symbols ♣️ land at various points, covered in the
features section, to substitute for all paying symbols.
Flodder: Slot
Features
Flodder's features are a ♣️ mix of family members and modifiers. At any time, a
Grandpa Flodder feature may join in, but the bulk of ♣️ the action is saved up and
unleashed when free spins are triggered.
Grandpa Flodder
In the base or bonus game,
Grandpa Flodder ♣️ may randomly cross the screen, waving his stick and dropping 2 to 12
wild symbols onto the reels in any ♣️ position.
Free Spins
Scatter symbols appear on any
reel, and landing 3 of them triggers 10 free spins with three picks from ♣️ the free spins
picker. Any additional scatter symbol in view awards an extra pick. Scatter symbols
only appear in the ♣️ base game, so the bonus round cannot be retriggered.
Free Spins
Picker
Before free spins begin, two lines of liquor bottles, 20 ♣️ in total, line the
screen. Players click them one by one until their allocated number of picks has been
used. ♣️ Here it is possible to win:
Bonus Spins – 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 extra free spins.
–
2, 3, 4, ♣️ 5, or 10 extra free spins. Wins multiplier – adds +1 or +2 to the win
multiplier.
– adds +1 or ♣️ +2 to the win multiplier. Sjakie Wild – adds a 1x3 Super wild
to the second and/or fourth reel.
– adds ♣️ a 1x3 Super wild to the second and/or fourth
reel. Wild Johnnie – upgrades the Johnnie symbols into a Wild ♣️ Johnnie symbol.
–
upgrades the Johnnie symbols into a Wild Johnnie symbol. Wild Ma Flodder - upgrades the
Ma Flodder symbols ♣️ into a Wild Ma Flodder symbol
If a win multiplier is awarded, all
wins during free spins are increased by the ♣️ applicable amount. The most the win
multiplier can be is x8. The other modifiers are pretty self-explanatory, mainly
consisting of ♣️ extra free spins, or sticky super wilds or Johnnie and Ma Flodder symbol
to wild upgrades.
Flodder: Slot Verdict
Most likely, there's ♣️ a regional focus like in
the case of Kulta Jaska Megaways which was exclusively launched for the Finnish market.
It's ♣️ not the first time Red Tiger has picked an unusual form of visual entertainment to
theme a slot either. That ♣️ honour went to Joe Exotic; another game rammed with
larger-than-life characters.
If you're unfamiliar with Flodder the film, the slot can
♣️ still be fun to play, but it might feel a bit left field. However, just by reading up
on the ♣️ film, Flodder's charm significantly increased, the characters became more
endearing, and it was hard not to root for the family. ♣️ No doubt these feel-good fuzzies
are how the movie gained such a cult following in the first place.
From a gaming
♣️ standpoint, nothing here is new per se, yet everything has been linked to the
characters and is neatly tied together. ♣️ Triggering free spins is when the Flodders and
their social worker get the chance to combine forces to do something ♣️ special. Well, it
might depend on which modifiers are awarded during the Golden Fish Tank-like pick
feature, of course. During ♣️ the review, full-stack wilds in conjunction with Wild
Johnnie or Wild Ma worked quite well, or full-stack wilds and multipliers. ♣️ Nothing
amazing, but Flodder can pay out as much as 7,564x the bet when the family pulls out
all the ♣️ stops.
Needless to say, players who got a chuckle out of the film will be right
at home in Flodder the ♣️ slot. Others who have no affinity to the Flodders whatsoever
could still get a kick out of the modifier pick ♣️ free spins bonus round and the
cartoonish antics, though the more you know about the family, the easier it is ♣️ to enjoy
the game.
