John Daly: Spin It and Win It slot design

Also known as “Long John”, John Daly is a popular golf player who has an exceptional long backswing and inconsistency but great performances. A PGA Tour winner, John Daly also became known for breaking the old school country-club ethics with his wild image and colorful clothes. His image reflects on the reels with a colorful and relaxing look while a steady beat plays.

John Daly fills the reels with low-paying Royals like Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. It also has high-paying symbols like Golf Buggy, Four-Pack Beer Soda, Lion Cover, and John Daly himself. There is also a Golf Ball Wild, and Golf Trophy Bonus symbol. Lastly, there are other special symbols like Walking Wilds and various types of Golf Balls with different functions.

John Daly: Spin It and Win It features

John Daly has 5 reels and 3 to 4 rows that unlock multiple features from base game modifiers to different bonus features below:

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol can appear on any position on the reels while you play the base game. It functions as a replacement for any regular-paying symbol except for Bonus symbols. This wild symbol appears as a white Golf Ball with a capital red W.

Bonus Symbol

The Bonus Scatter can only appear on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th reels. Whenever this Bonus Scatter lands on the mentioned reels, you can have a chance to trigger the Bonus feature. You can spot this as the Gold Trophy symbol with a BONUS text on its red ribbon.

Base Game Modifiers

The basic spin is played with at least 2 or more paying symbols connected to form winning combinations. But to make the game more fun, 1 to 3 random modifiers can also join the regular symbols on the reels. These game modifiers don’t guarantee an instant win on a triggering spin but they can make a difference to replace dull spins. Also, the Bonus symbols can’t land whenever these game modifiers are active.

• Random Wilds = this shows John Daly hitting balls to add randomly 1 to 5 Wild symbols on the existing panel. Then, the final panel is evaluated and paid.
• Expanding Win = this locks all winning symbols on their positions and triggers a Respin. If a new win occurred in the Respin, the new winning symbols are locked and a new Respin is triggered. Thus, this feature keeps the sequence running until there are no more winning combinations left.
• Walking Wild = this modifier appears as a Tornado with a WILD logo that lands on one of the 5 reels, unlike the regular Wild. The Walking Wild can appear in 1, 2, or 3 clusters during the sequence until the panel is evaluated and paid after the Respins. Since it is a Walking Wild, it can move 1 position to the left or right.

But once after 7 spins, the Walking Wild can move to a single direction only which is either left or right. All new wins are paid and the sequence of Respins ends once the Walking Wild is out of the panel.

Bonus Game

The Bonus feature is triggered after landing 3 Bonus Scatters on the same spin. This will welcome you with one of the 3 random bonus features below that you can choose from. But first, you have to decide whether to accept the selected feature or gamble it to play a different feature. Once you rejected the feature, it can’t be randomly selected again so a Mystery Prize will replace its position.

If the game randomly selects the Mystery Prize, you can’t gamble your prize anymore. Regardless, you will get the Mystery Prize in return.

• John Daly’s Big Swing

Accepting this feature allows John Daly to hit a ball into the sky. A Win Multiplier will appear upwards that increase as the ball flies higher up in the air. This ball can either continue flying until the maximum Multiplier value is reached or collides with an object. The final Win Multiplier determines the total win.

• Free for All (Bonus Spins)

This feature is played with 8 initial Bonus Spins. However, a one-time retrigger is possible to get extra 5 Bonus Spins if you land 3 Bonus Scatters again. The Bonus Spins round features the regular and Sticky Wilds. The Sticky Wilds remain locked in their positions throughout the spin sequence.

Both types of Wilds can randomly come with a Win Multiplier that worth is either 2x or 3x. This value is applied to the total win if at least 1 Wild is included in the winning cluster. The total Win Multipliers are added and applied to the wins and paid.

• Sticky Balls

The reels expand with 5 reels and 4 rows in this feature where each symbol is drawn individually. A Multiplier Meter is displayed and 10 initial Bonus Spins are given. Also, only blank symbols and the different types of balls can land and remain sticky throughout the spins. If one of these symbols didn’t show up, the position remains vacant.

Golden Balls increase the overall Win Multiplier by 1 while the Multi-colored Balls give 2 to 5 additional Bonus Spins. The sequence ends once all 20 positions contain cash prizes.

Mystery Prize

The Mystery Prize gives a random Multiplier that ranges between 20x to 200x and is paid after the bonus round ends.

Buy Bonus

Players in selected territories can purchase the bonus features using the Special Bets button. You can buy the base game modifiers for a cost of 12x to 23x or the bonus features for 86x to 90x your bet.
