It’s common enough to find variations on a dancing theme in the world of slot games. But what about a burlesque dancing theme? This isn’t as common – in fact, it might be a first. Moreover, we’re sure the famous dancer Dita von Teese hasn’t appeared in a slot game before.
So, it’s time to find out whether the theme and the star play nicely together in this sensational slot release, and our review to accompany it.
Who developed this game?
Microgaming is the name you’ll recognize, but you may not have heard of Aurum Signature Studios. Microgaming has linked with that outfit to produce this game. This is a process they’ve taken with other slots as well.
Demo action available
You can load the practice version of this slot game to see what you think of it before deciding whether to try Burlesque by Dita for real.
No surprises with the theme
Burlesque dancing is certainly a niche attraction, perhaps best known in America. Dita von Teese certainly is, so she brings a bigger star factor to this dancing-themed slot game with a twist.
Do they score highly for the design?
We think so, as the game displays a stage setting for the dancers to display their skills. The colors are impressive, and there is a lot of detail here, with photographic-style dancers including Dita herself appearing in action.
Are you ready to play this slot game?
Expect five reels to load when you begin. We found no progressive jackpots in play, but there is a giant fixed jackpot involved, which we’ll mention later in our review.
There are two important symbols to look for, and these are labeled as wild and scatter symbols. The wild shows a woman in a large cocktail glass… yes, she is sitting in it! If you scoop a prize involving one of these, you’ll get double the usual p
rize.
The scatter shows another woman, this time standing in a birdcage. We guess these are props for the burlesque show. This scatter symbol awards scatter prizes and could be useful in another way, as you’ll soon find out.
How many paylines are there?
None here, as Microgaming has added the way win mechanic instead, offering all 243 ways to find prizes over the 5 x 3 set of reels.
Play within a wide range of bets
With 10 cents coming in as the smallest bet and $20 as the biggest, most players should find something reasonable to pick before playing the spins.
Paytable access
The controls for the game are over to the right as you view the game, so you’ve got an easy way to access it to read everything about the game. Even though we’re describing everything here, we think you’ll find it useful to look at the table as well.
Bonus features in Burlesque by Dita
The game offers one random bonus, which means you never can tell when it might crop up. This is the Wild Pleasure feature, and if it does occur, you’ll see anything from one to five of the available reels going wild in all positions.
What about some free spins?
Yes, you’ve got a chance to find some scatters to unlock this picking feature, because you can choose how you want to play it. You need at least three scatters to reveal the options.
If you go for the minimum 10 free games, you’ll get a 5x multiplier whenever you receive a prize. Next up there is the chance to choose 15 spins. If you go for this option, you’ll see multipliers worth 2x or 3x in action. The best part of this is that two or more of those multiply with each other.
The third choice sees you collect 20 free spins with Rolling Reels involved. If you’ve played other Microgaming slots, you’ll be familiar with these. You can find multipliers in those games too, reaching as high as 5x. Finally, you might choose 25 free games, and in this case, the Moulin Rich feature might appear. This means you could get additional free spins and some more wilds as well.
A varying RTP for this game
We understand that the game has been released with three return to player percentages. The idea is that the casino offering the game can choose which one to go with. The lowest is 92.08%, with 94.03% coming next and finally the top percentage is 96.8%.
How much do we like Burlesque by Dita slots?
We liked the game a lot when we tried it, but the chance for a casino to choose a far lower RTP takes it down a notch, in our opinion. With that in mind we wouldn’t go higher than 8/10 for this one.
Score up to 12,000x your bet
This is the jackpot you’d receive if you managed to find wilds to fill all the reels, which we guess might occur if you reached the random Wild Pleasure feature.
Demo activity is the best way to begin
The game has a practice version, as we know, and this is the perfect way to introduce yourself to Dita and her burlesque dancing slot game.
Find it at a decent casino to play for real
We say a decent casino because we hope one or more will choose the highest RTP to appeal to more players.
Mobile availability
You can play Burlesque by Dita across all devices on iOS and Android as well.
