Tailgating

Tailgating is a Booming Games slot built around the pre-game party of American football, with barbecues, beer cans, foam fingers and painted fans on five reels and 15 paylines. Three football symbols switch on a two-way pay mode for 10 spins, which extends when more balls land, and three or more scatters award 10 retriggerable free spins. The fan wild is the top symbol, paying up to 30,000 coins. The RTP is 95.94 % with medium volatility. Stakes run from 0.15 € to 450 €, and the top win is 345000 €. It is a natural fit for sports-minded players and for operators running promotions around the football season.

The setting is a football stadium. The pitch fills the background, the stands on both sides are packed with spectators, and the card ranks are decorated with the American flag. The colours are bold, and a soundtrack plays throughout, changing tune whenever a winning combination lands. Players who know American football will feel at home straight away.

Tailgating runs in the browser with no download and plays on mobile devices as well as desktop computers. Medium volatility gives regular payouts between spins, with the larger wins coming from the wild, the two-way mode and the free spins.

For a casino with a sportsbook, it is an easy cross-sell title that speaks the same language as the betting side of the site.

Players set their wager by choosing the number of paylines, from 1 to 15, and the bet per line, from 0.03 to 3. Total stakes run from 0.15 € to 450 € per spin.

The paytable has three groups:

• Tailgate symbols: barbecues, beer cans and foam fingers, paying from 6 coins for two up to 3,000 coins for five.
• Card ranks: A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9, paying from 30 coins for three up to 450 coins for five.
• Fan symbols: spectators with "wild" or "free spins" painted on their bodies, paying from 30 coins for three up to 30,000 coins for five.

Autoplay is available for players who want to set a run of spins.

Tailgating offers 15 adjustable paylines. High-paying symbols need only two of a kind on a line, while the card ranks need at least three.

The wild is the most valuable symbol in the game: five on a payline award up to 30,000 coins. When the two-way pay mode is active, every line is read from both ends, which makes these spins the best time to land the premium symbols.

The bonus features are built around the game-day theme:

• Wild: the fan with "wild" painted on him substitutes for all symbols except the scatter.
• Two-way pay mode: the football is a special symbol. Landing three of them activates a pays-both-ways system for the next 10 spins, and landing more during the mode adds another 10.
• Free spins: three or more scatters award 10 free spins, and further scatter combinations retrigger the round.

Because both features can extend themselves, a strong run can keep the bonus modes going for a long time, much like overtime in a close game.
