As the title suggests, the plot of this slot revolves around a legendary hit single, The Final Countdown, created and released by Swedish rock band Europe in 1986. The 2019 BTG release represents a sequel to BTG's hit, the Danger High Voltage slot, their second rock music-themed slot, and features six reels, four rows and a whopping 4,096 ways to win! The Final Countdown includes Cloning Reels, Cloning Wilds that can extend up to 44 symbols, and two types of free spins: Countdown Free Spins with Roaming Wilds and Heading for Venus Free Spins with Velocity Wilds. When the hook is a crowd-pleasing rock hymn from the 1980s that everyone, deep down, adores, this slot becomes a No. 1 hit. How do you do justice to such a massive rock song while keeping the slot community buzzing and allowing rock fans to keep moshing? Big Time Gaming approached The Final Countdown slot in two ways. The first section is based on a real countdown to a space rocket launch, while the second is based on a rock concert stage. The main image in The Final Countdown slot is a rocket launch pad with a colourful city skyline to the left of the game window and a rocket ready for takeoff. It transforms into a spectacular space shuttle setting in red or purple during the free spins rounds, with Europe's big hit blasting from the speakers.
The Final Countdown has a stunning retro-futuristic aesthetic, emphasized by the title track, and is set against a neon-lit city skyline with the reels surrounded by a lighting setup and flanked by a spaceship. Low-value A through 9 royals, as well as green, blue, red, and purple gems, will be found in the traditional BTG fashion. As is customary, the purple gem is the most rewarding of all basic symbols, paying out 25 times the wager when six appear on a pay line. A golden bonus scatter sign and a base game wild symbol depicting a female crew member are the other special symbols. If the Female Astronaut Wild appears on the cloned reels during the base game, it will expand and cover 2 to 4 reels, with a multiplier of 4x, 27x, or 256x based on the number of reels covered. When three or more Scatters appear on the reels, the Free Spins bonus is triggered. If you get all six of them on the reels, you'll win 1,000 times your bet. In this game, players can choose between two Free Spins bonuses. If you use the Countdown Free Spins feature, you will receive 8 free spins with a Roaming Wild. Land the Countdown Scatter to begin the countdown at ten and retrigger the function when it reaches zero. Using the Countdown Scatter, you can reduce the countdown by up to three times. The Roaming Wild will begin as a 22 Wild with a 4x multiplier. With each retrigger of the feature, the Roaming Wild expands, reaching a maximum size of 44 and a 256x multiplier. The Heading for Venus Free Spins bonus gives you 15 free spins, each with a Reel Clone. The Male Astronaut appears as a Velocity Wild, which can randomly expand from 4x to 888x on a Reel Clone. Land three or more Scatters to retrigger the feature. This is yet another blockbuster title to be added to Big Time Gaming's already impressive slot library. The combination of classic features – multipliers, wilds, free spins, and clones – is designed in such a way that the bonus rounds are filled with anticipation and excitement. Of course, beware because you'll love it and hate it in equal measure – or perhaps not equally because for every sky-high epic triumph, you'll have to contend with quite a few pointless spins. So, as always, proceed with caution, set a reasonable stake, and have fun!
