Slots Review: Hurdy Gurdy

We think it’s probably safe to say that most people have not ever in their lives heard of a hurdy gurdy. This rounded wooden fiddle with an attached keyboard (which is actually more like a mechanical violin) is an old folk instrument that has fallen out of fashion everywhere but at certain festivals in Europe. PartyGaming tries nobly to resurrect the heyday of the hurdy gurdy with its eponymous online slot game title. Hurdy Gurdy has a cute pastoral farm with a cheese farm as its background. Big money win opportunities and merry gameplay are two strong reasons to play this internet pokey, even if you remain disinterested in the uncommon musical instrument after which it is named.

Hurdy Gurdy is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine title. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to twenty dollars, with max coins set at a value of twenty (one per payline). That makes the highest per-spin wager one of four hundred dollars. The jackpot is a weighty seven thousand coins. Do the math on that – that’s ONE HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS on a loaded spin! With that kind of moolah, you can probably track down your own hurdy gurdy if you suddenly get a wild hair to learn how to play.

Wheels of cheese, cows, and windmills contribute to the rustic feel of this online slot. The hurdy gurdy symbol is wild, and the milk pail is the scatter symbol. There are two bonuses in this online slot game. The first is a free spin bonus of fifteen free spins at a triple multiplier. The second is a bonus game in which you choose which milk pails a cow will kick over to see if there is a prize underneath!
