Penny Pelican Slot Review

Penny Pelican Slot Overview

Penny Pelican from BGaming takes me straight to a harbour on the seashore near a fishermen’s village, with a cartoonish marine world wrapped around a simple 5x3 slot. The main hero Penny the Pelican keeps things light, yet the game hides serious potential under that friendly look. Gameplay stays straightforward, with classic line wins and a focus on Wild multipliers and a free spins bonus round that can deliver hefty hits.

I like how the soundtrack and bright colours match the easy-going beach setting, while the mechanics stay tight and focused. There is no clutter of small features firing all the time. Instead, the slot leans on a single main bonus game, supported by powerful Sticky Wild multipliers. That mix of relaxed presentation and high stakes action sums up the Penny Pelican experience for me.

Slot Review and Free Demo Game Penny Pelican

I always give a new BGaming release a run in demo mode first, and Penny Pelican fits that routine nicely. The free version lets me feel the very high volatility, see how often the Wild multipliers land, and get a sense of the free spins hit rate before risking cash. The layout and controls work well on both desktop and mobile, so testing different bet levels feels quick and painless.

Penny Pelican Slot Information

Penny Pelican runs on a 5 reel, 3 row layout with 20 fixed paylines and bets from 0.20 to 50 per spin, which suits most bankrolls I use. Volatility is high, even described as very high in one spec sheet, so I expect swingy sessions with dry patches followed by sudden spikes. RTP hovers around the industry average, with versions listed at 95.98%, 94.98%, and one rounding it to 96%.

On the payout side, published figures quote a max win starting around 3,525x the bet and stretching up to about 5,000x or even 5,042x in some descriptions. That range tells me different configurations might be in circulation, but all sit in a respectable zone for a high variance 20 line slot. The hit rate around 29.17% and free spins frequency of roughly 1 in 177 spins line up with how the game feels in practice.

When I plan a session on Penny Pelican, I treat it as a volatile beach hunt rather than a slow grind. I pick a bet where 200 or more spins feel realistic and allow the math to play out. The slot can chew through credits when the multipliers stay quiet, but a single free spins round with a couple of Sticky Wilds on the middle reels can swing the balance sharply in my favour.

Penny Pelican Slot - Reel Screen

The Penny Pelican reel screen keeps things clean, with a 5x3 grid packed with 13 colourful marine themed symbols. At the lower end, A to J royals cover the small wins, followed by an anchor and a starfish as mid value icons. Premium symbols bring shells, treasure chests, crabs, and fish. Standard wins pay from left to right, needing at least three of a kind on a line to get paid.

Five of a kind wins on the better symbols can reach up to 37.5x the stake, while the weakest sets sit around 1.25x for a full line. Penny the Pelican himself works as the Wild symbol on reels two, three, and four, standing in for regular icons. The lighthouse acts as the Scatter or Bonus symbol on reels one, three, and five, and landing three of those is my ticket to the free spins game.

Penny Pelican Slot Features

The Wild symbol in Penny Pelican is where the base game comes alive for me. Each Wild that lands on reels two to four can carry a random x2 or x3 multiplier, and that value applies to every win line it helps complete. If more than one Wild joins the same winning combination, their multipliers are summed, so lining up two or three in the centre can turn a modest spin into a serious payout.

Three lighthouse Bonus symbols on reels one, three, and five trigger the Free Spins feature. Before the round starts, a Fortune Wheel spins to award between 9 and 18 free games. During these spins, all Wild symbols that appear on the middle reels become Sticky and stay locked in place with their x2 or x3 multipliers until the feature ends. There is also a Buy Bonus option, priced at about 75x the bet, which lets me skip straight to the free spins when I feel like chasing the sticky setup.

Review Summary for Penny Pelican

From my time with Penny Pelican, BGaming has produced a slot that looks light and cheerful yet hits with real force when the multipliers line up. The harbour setting, bright graphics, and jolly soundtrack keep spins pleasant, while the high volatility and Sticky Wild free spins hold enough punch for seasoned slot players. It does not try to reinvent anything, but as a fresh, cute, and capable marine themed game, it earns a spot in my rotation.
