The theme of Blue Moon is less about Earth’s satellite, and more about the tropical location from where the said Moon is viewed and the various flowers and creatures which live there. It’s a popular theme, so you’re not going to find inside something that will wow you, but WMS did a good job creating this slot machine, and I believe you will find it a game that you will not regret giving a chance to.
The nature focus that this game has is visible on its 30 paylines. WMS used inside a random symbol feature, free spins and scatters which also act as wilds. The best prize mentioned is at $5,000.
Features of Blue Moon
The two wild symbols used in Blue Moon are going to function as scatters as well, bringing you free spins and multipliers. A random symbol feature is also present inside.
In the roles of the scatter/wilds, we have the Blue Moon in two circumstances. The first symbol has the Blue Moon visible during daytime, while the second one shows it at night. Both wild symbols can create combinations by themselves, and they pay the same amount, up to 1,000x, when five matching icons are part of a payline. They can also create combinations with mixed wilds, both types participating, but also paying less in that case (up to 500x). As wild symbols, they can replace any other icons, with no exceptions.
Free Games Feature
The slot’s wilds are also the scatter symbols, and they are able to trigger the free spins of Blue Moon. The requirement is for two or more Blue Moon scatter/wild symbols to appear, going from left to right, on adjacent reels. You get 5 to 50 free spins this way, depending on the number of symbols, plus prizes of 2x to 50x the bet.
You will win double the usual prizes when the free spins are in use, but that multiplier doesn’t work on the top jackpot offered by the wild symbols forming combinations of five icons. You can get extra free spins with the help of 2+ scattered Blue Moon symbols.
Random Symbols
If you happen to get a Blue Moon Logo on the 2nd reel, the only one where it can appear, you will notice how that symbol turns into another random symbol when it appears. I’m not exactly sure what good does that do, or where is the advantage for you.
Betting options and jackpots
Since 30 bet lines are used, you naturally have to use a similar number of coins. The 30 coins can each have values of up to $5, allowing for the maximum bet to reach $150.
Getting the top jackpot means being offered a 1,000 coins prize, with a top value of $5,000.
Design and symbols
The design is one of the best things about this slot machine from WMS. You can see the Blue Moon in the distance, behind the reels, with the jungle plants on both sides. The reels are filled with flowers, fruits, birds and marine creatures. There are no useless symbols here, only themed ones, and they’re all very well done.
Symbols: Daylight Full Moon (wild, 1,000 coins), Nighttime Full Moon (wild, 1,000 coins), Blue Moon Logo (bonus), Mixed Full Moons (500 coins), Orca (300 coins), Turtle (200 coins), Pelican (200 coins), Chameleon (150 coins), Pineapple (125 coins), Coconut (125 coins), Bananas (100 coins), Red Flower (100 coins), White Flower (100 coins) and Orange Flower (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
The game looks good for the most part, but the low paying jackpot makes me recommend that you find another slot to play.
You will find Blue Moon at any online casino which chooses to use software from WMS, playable either for free or for real money.
