Babushkas

Babushkas is a brand new video pokie game, that has a very interesting design and visual details. The game theme comes from the Russian Matryoshka dolls, which are also known as nesting dolls. We’re certain that everyone knows what they look like and have seen some videos or pictures of a Babushka doll somewhere online.

These dolls have the outer appearance of an older Russian woman wearing traditional clothing. The trick with these dolls is that each one is hollow inside and has a set of many smaller Babushka dolls, which are revealed as each outer layer is opened.

This game has symbols only with Babushka dolls, each one in different sizes and colors. The animations are decent, with a cartoon tone added to the symbols. This way Babushkas provides a fun game play, making you spin the reels for very long sessions.

The Babushka Doll symbols on the reels are divided in levels; the highest paying one is the oldest and wisest on level 0, while the lowest paying is the Baby Babushka on level 6. You will need to land only one starting win on a pay line with higher ranking Babushka symbols to start the Symbol Upgrade feature.

The symbols will strip down to the lowest level and highest paying symbols, for as long as a new and longer win is achieved with each new strip. This feature is connected to the next one which is triggered when a full screen of the highest paying symbols is formed and is called a Wipe Win. This win awards a maximum payout of 100 x total bet.

As you spin the reels you may want to keep an eye out on reel 3, as this is where the Wild Bear Babushka can land. Once it does and a Star symbol is revealed it can award one of the 3 Bear Mystery features. If the Scare Bear Wild is triggered it will make all of the Babushka symbols on the reels strip 1, 2 or 3 times, depending on the size of the Scare Bear Wild. If the Charm Bear Wild is revealed it will make all symbols strip down for 1 level.

If the Dance Bear Wild is reveal it will award 7 free spins, with a guaranteed Wild on the reels in each spin. The Wild can award any of the Mystery features, including the Dance Bear, which will award a re-trigger with another 7 free spins.
