Good Girl/Bad Girl slot review

Good Girl/Bad Girl brings the classic conflict between good and bad girls to a head in a slot that makes the player actively pick between two, do you want the sweet angel or the devilish succubus? Either way, you will get to deal with wilds, a bonus wheel and 2 progressive jackpots.

This slot was developed by Betsoft and released in 2014, which considering the 3D graphics means that the game will look somewhat outdated compared to newer games. There is still a lot of detail to be found and the game also uses some interesting backgrounds and animations, but overall I found the game to really look old.

When it comes to the gameplay, it’s kept up with developments a lot better. The 5-reel, 3-row playing field still offers a reasonable opportunity at getting some bigger wins even with Medium Volatility. I was also quite surprised by the number of times I managed to activate any of the many special bonus features the game has. Getting a win on one of the 15 paylines doesn’t guarantee a big increase in your funds but it will definitely help.

Players who are eager to explore the slot and want to spend some time playing it can augment their bets according to their available funds. The game lets you choose a bet between £0.02 and £150 per spin, while there is a potential jackpot of max. 1,170,000x your bet. Considering this is the theoretical limit of a progressive jackpot, it’s not what will actually be available as a win.

Symbols

Good Girl/Bad Girl makes use of some standard tropes when it comes to showing off the theme and setting of the game. One of the ways it does this is by using symbols related to either the angelic or the demonic character. There are symbols that look clean and light, while others look dirty and scary.

The two characters themselves don’t play a big role in the gameplay, meaning that their symbols are regular ones that aren’t counted as bonus or scatter symbols. For that, the game uses different symbols like the good and bad Wilds.

The features in the game include:

• Pitchfork (Wild): Max. 1,000x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Halo (Wild): Max. 500x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Good Girl: Max. 360x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Bad Girl: Max. 360x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Good Cat: Max. 180x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Bad Cat: Max. 180x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Ace: Max. 90x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• King: Max. 90x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Queen: Max. 45x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• Jack: Max. 45x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.
• 10: Max. 45x your bet with five-of-a-kind on a win line.

Players have different options when it comes to their playstyle, with the game offering the opportunity to pick a good, bad or even style. The good style will grant lower volatility but with lower wins, while the bad style will do the opposite. This makes wins less likely but they will also be bigger. The third option is to have both of them enabled at the same time but this will cost double per spin.

Features

Good Girl/Bad Girl has a large number of different features, most of them translating into different special modes in the game. Players are likely to trigger them rather easily as it doesn’t require a lot. At the same time, this does mean that the rewards are usually not very big to compensate.

The features you’ll find in the game include:

• Mode Selection: Players can choose Good Mode, Bad More or Both Modes. The Good Move offers low volatility but frequent wins while the Bad Move offers the opposite. Both Modes enables both for double the cost per spin.
• Wilds: Wilds substitute regular symbols in the game.
• Progressive Jackpots: The game offers separate progressive jackpots, both a Good Girl and a Bad Girl jackpot.
• Bonus Wheel: Get 3 Money Wheel symbols on the screen to activate the Bonus Wheel. This wheel holds either coin wins, the jackpot win or activates the free spins mode.
• Bonus Game: When the Pitchfork and Halo symbols are on the screen at the same time the Pick Me Bonus Game is activated. The player will get to choose 1 of 4 boxes that hold a coin win. Each player gets 4 picks.
• Free Spins: The free spins mode is activated when it lands on them during the bonus wheel.

Playing the game, I would trigger a special mode of bonus game pretty often. The easiest way was getting Wilds on the screen, which would often include 2 or more. Wilds also have a random multiplier associated with them. Unfortunately, I found that they were only rarely part of a win and didn’t help in getting anything.

If a Pitchfork and a Halo appear on the screen at the same time it will activate the bonus wheel. This bonus wheel holds a number of different awards, including coin wins, the free spins mode and the progressive jackpot. Players who pick playing either the good or bad mode will only play their wheel. If you chose to play both modes you will get to choose your wheel before it starts.

The bonus game has 4 times 4 chests with either a low, medium or high win and Collect. Picking Collect will immediately end the round. Picking a win will end the round after 4 times automatically.

In Conclusion

Good Girl/Bad Girl is an outdated slot both in graphics and theme. The idea feels quite derogatory by how it displays women but it doesn’t linger on it too much either. I thought the graphics looked quite old but I do appreciate the amount of detail put into all of them.

The features that are available make the gameplay a lot better than it looks, with the bonus game, the bonus wheel and the free spins all likely to give players a significant win. They also trigger regularly enough to make them feel like part of a game.

If you want to play a standard slot but with a lot of features and some important choices to make regarding the volatility, I think this game is a good choice. Those who are only looking for the very best when it comes to graphics will likely want to keep searching.
