This is one apt title for this online slots game.
For the most part I like the online slots games that Rival produces. Typically they pay pretty well and are enjoyable while playing, especially the iSlots. But this one? I have to say that it is my least favorite online slots game by Rival. But then it is an older iSlot.
Fixer Upper is a five reel iSlot with twenty paylines featuring a couple who have bought a house and are now in the process of fixing it up. Naturally the symbols include a Staple Gun, Saw, Drill, Tape Measure and more.
Like any other iSlot this one does have something of a storyline. Actually it is more of a list of things to work through rather than an actual storyline.
In this iSlot players must trigger the bonus game and complete it. They then move on to the next round of spinning trying to trigger the next bonus game.
The first bonus game players must complete is the plumbing game. Three Wrenches must be landed at which point players are taken to a second screen where they replace rusted pipes with new pipes. The bonus prize then increases the value of your ‘house,’ better known as your bankroll.
Once the game is completed players are returned to the reels to spin for the next bonus round. This time they are trying to land Paint Cans. I am not sure what the second bonus game is like as I was not able to trigger it—which is unusual for a Rival online slots game.
Players do have the chance of triggering fifteen free spins though. The Handywoman is the Scatter and landing at least three of her will trigger the free spins. Three of her will trigger fifteen free spins, four will trigger twenty and five will trigger twenty five. Unfortunately there is no multiplier attached to these free spins.
However the Wild is there to step in. It will expand during free spins, and for every Wild that helps to complete a winning combination, the payout is multiplied by the number of Wilds. And the Wilds land fairly often.
Between the poor payouts and the nearly untriggerable bonus games, this is one online slots game I will not be back to visit. That and, personally, the smiles of the handyman and handywoman are just frightening. This is an online slots game that should be played for fun and not for real money.
