Barkin Mad Slot
Woof, woof! A group of dogs have escaped from the local kennels and you’ve been tasked with the responsibility of tracking them down and bringing them back to their sanctuary for big rewards. The canines that have escaped include Bulldogs, Sausage Dogs, Bassett Hound and Chihuahuas, and should you fear getting a bite when petting them to get close enough to get a lead on them, don’t worry – their barks are much worse than their bite!
Barcrest Slot Software Review. This slot manufacturer has a long history – going all the way back to 1968 in the UK. At one point almost all of the slots in British pubs and casinos were Barcrest creations. With its heyday in the 1970’s through to the 1990’s, before the internet brought a new medium for slot gaming. Barkin' Mad is a 5 reel, 10 payline video slot that has a theme set on man's best friend, and sees players trying to line up as many similar dog symbols as they can on each spin.
Big Dog Bets
The Barkin’ Mad slot machine has been developed by Barcrest, consisting of 5 reels and 10 fixed paylines. The rewards on offer for catching the pooches varies depending on the stakes that you use with bets of less than £2 bring an RTP of 94%, those greater than £2 boosting the RTP to 95%, and this is also another Barcrest slot that offers Big Bet mode (just like the Boulder Bucks slot machine and the Monopoly Big Event slot machine) with the RTP being 96% should you wish to stake like a big dog.
You’d definitely be barking mad not to spin these reels as there is a free spins feature featuring Sticky Wilds that will make you woof, a Showtime Bonus offering cash prizes or free spins, plus a Wild Dog multiplier bonus that randomly occurs on non-winning spins and sees one of the canine’s strut onto the reels – he must have been longing to be found!

Listen for the Barks
You’ll need to listen carefully for the barks of the dogs in order to get on their trail and track them down, and for the dog lovers amongst you you’ll recognise the different breeds you’ve been tasked with locating from the pesky little whining of Chihuahuas that bark too much to the louder and dominant woofs of a Bulldog.
The Wild symbol is represented by a cartoon style cloud which we presume represents dogs involved in a fiery tear-up and this can substitute for all other symbols aside from the Scatter symbols which are represented by the Barkin’ Mad logo.
The amount you’ll win varies depending on how much you stake but the most valuable dog you’ll want to retrieve is the vicious Bulldog which keeps a bone in its mouth, although two of it’s razor sharp teeth are fully on display to put you off petting it. There are also cute Sausage Dogs, Bassett Hound and Chihuahuas for you to fetch – fortunately the bark on these is much worse than their bite!
Free Spins to Make You Woof
Three or more Barkin’ Mad Scatter symbols on the reels at once will see you let out a few woofs of your own in excitement as this activates a free spins feature which never fails to bring big rewards.
You will receive 10 free spins for three Scatters, 12 for four, or a maximum of 14 for five of them, and while there are no multipliers applied to your wins, they come with the added ingredient of Sticky Wilds which see the Wild symbols that land remain on the reels until the rest of your spins have been played.
Showtime Bonus
Whenever you’re betting big dog stakes by utilising the Big Bet feature, you could find yourself enjoying the Showtime Bonus game which is triggered completely at random. You’ll then see a bonus wheel, which has been designed in the style of a ribbon that dog showers receive at showing competitions, which will have multiplier values of between 1x and 5x your stake on it, along with the offering of either 10, 12 or 14 free spins, with whichever position the arrow lands being what you’ve won.

It’s a dog’s life…eating, sleeping, running around and not really having any responsibilities. Wouldn’t we all just love to experience such in our adult lives? Well, while it’s not really possible, Barkin’ Mad from Barcrest will give you a little bit of an insight into that kind of life. The game contains some wonderful graphics, giving a 3D look to the icons and interface. There’s also a comical sounding piece of music existing within the game as well. So, every time you spin its reels, you’ll be expecting something insane or quirky to happen. It may even make you barkin’ mad when you play it – but in the nicest possible way, of course! So, let’s see what kind of game you’ll be playing, shall we?
As far as the overall layout of this game goes, it provides a very standard video slot layout. This consists of five reels and three rows in total. And alongside this, the developer has made sure to add a total of 10 different pay lines to it. Customisations of these lines is not something that you’re able to do. However, all players have the option of changing their wager by using the relevant plus and minus buttons. Doing so will allow you to switch from its minimum level of $0.01 per line up to a maximum of $40. This means that an overall maximum bet of $400 per spin is possible. You’ll also notice that the bottom of the reels contain an additional button. This is the ‘Big Bet’ button, but we’ll get to that one a little bit later.When you load up the game, you’ll find intriguing visuals. This relates very nicely to its overall design and its various symbols. In the background of the game, you’ll find lush, green grass and a dog kennel. The icons in the game exist in the form of the regularly seen A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 to begin with. However, following on from this, you’ll find the remaining icons are very canine indeed. There are two small dogs who have found their way into the backyard and are looking for some food. The third picture icon is that of a smiling, white dog. This can provide up to 300 times your wager. Finally, the bulldog clutching on to a bone provides the game with its final icon. This one is able to give you the maximum pay out of 500 times the bet you have in play.
While this game has superior graphics and gameplay in comparison to a lot of others, what about its specialities? Does it include anything ultra special? Well, to start off with, there’s the addition of a wild icon. This one will stand in for all other icons on the reels in order to form a winning combination. The only exception to this rule is the game’s scatter symbol. One additional perk to the wild icon is that is may hold in place over to the next spin. This is only true if there aren’t any wins formed in the first instance.As we said, there’s the addition of a scatter symbol in this game. This exists in the form of the game’s own logo. As a scatter icon, it will provide a pay out wherever it shows up on the reels. Not only that, but if you bring three or more of them into view in any location, the Barkin’ Mad Free Spins round begins. You’ll receive a minimum of 10 freespins. However, during this round, if a scatter icon comes into view, it will reward you with two additional freespins. And further to this, any wild icon which appears during this round will lock in place. These will then stay in place for the entirety of the freespins round.

You’ll also find that the game contains a Wild Dog Multiplier Bonus. This can randomly trigger after any losing spin. If it does come into play, one of the symbols on the reels will turn into a wild. Not only that, but it will then reveal a multiplier value. This is then applied to all win lines which include that symbol.
Now, as we also said earlier on, players have the option of using the ‘Big Bet’ button. This one allows you to play a set of five linked spins for any chosen stake. The game also includes a Showtime Bonus, which is only available in the Big Bet game. If this randomly triggers, you’ll see a red badge with multiple different rewards on it. These exist in either multiplier values or freespin prizes.
Finally, the last bonus feature is the Barkin’ Mad Bonus. Any stake above $2.00 per line or in Big Bet mode allows you the chance to trigger this. If two or more of the scatter logos come into view, there is a chance that one of the remaining icons will convert into another of the same. This will guarantee you entry into the feature round or will improve an existing feature entry.
