Chavin it Large

This online fruit machine is clearly one very specifically aimed at UK players since we very much doubt anyone outside Britain will have the foggiest what this machine's title is all about. Keeping up a tradition of terrible puns for its fruit machines, Microgaming have blessed this three-reel, single payline game with the name 'Chavin' it Large' and a theme based on Chav culture (if you can call it that...). For the uninitiated a brief description of a 'chav' culled from the numerous definitions on the Web is 'a young person, often without a high level of education, who follows a particular fashion; Chavs usually wear designer labels including the chav favourite 'Burberry', and if they're girls, very short skirts, large hoop earrings and stilettos' - so now you know, and hopefully the Reebok trainer, Burberry baseball cap and sovereign ring symbols that adorn the 'Chavin' it Large' reels make perfect sense now.

Perhaps the notion that yer average chav is without 'a high level of education' has influenced this online fruit machine's programmers to make it as simple as possible. Just three reels, one win line and three symbols makes 'Chavin' It Large' very easy to understand - get any three-of-a-kind on the win line and you'll collect an award of a multiplier times your stake on that spin. Speaking of stakes you can adjust your bet from between 10p and £10 in seven steps to give you flexibility between spins to throttle back or ramp up your bets depending on how lucky you've been so far, or think you'll be in the future! Reel features to look out for on this fruit machine are hold and nudge options. The latter can trigger up to four nudges and you can 'nudge peek' any reels to preview what the next two symbols on them are before committing to nudge that reel. You may also trigger the Nudge Gamble feature which gives you an opportunity to skill stop the nudge award between two flashing numbers to build up to a maximum of four nudges. Useful, and handy skill stop training in case you trigger this online fruit machine's 'Chavistocracy' bonus round...

The bonus game triggers if you manage three trainer wins in a row, activating a new screen where a cash ladder style game awaits. The steps of this ladder, laid out along the roof of a cartoon stretch limo, flash in sequence and a player must use their skill to stop the sequence on the highest multiplier they can. Be lucky and you may then get a repeat gamble feature, where skill stopping the lights on the 'Yes' column of the mansion gates on the screen gives you another crack at the Chavistocracy ladder.

Chavin' It Large's simplicity marks it out as a very good choice for anyone new to playing UK pub slots, as it has all the core features of any good fruit machine game. However, if you particularly like to have a crack at a fruit machine's bonus game now and again you may find Chavin' It Large a little frustrating in this respect. We've played this game for quite a while and have never once triggered the Chavistocracy round, so we'd assess the frequency of the bonus round coming up as very low. That said, this bling fruit machine's core game is plenty of fun to play and when it come to fruit machine essentials it's definitely keepin' it reel, you get me?
