Slot Review: Dad’s Day In

We will hope for the sake of Cryptologic that there aren’t too many stay-at-home Dads among their player base. Dad’s Day In was undoubtedly supposed to be a cute and irreverent bit of fluff, a retro sitcom for the online casino crowd. We thought that it was actually pretty offensive to the hard-working men out there who are the primary caregivers for their children. But enough with the political correctness. Dad’s Day In is mostly a slick, lucrative slot machine title that offers enough perks to keep players’ minds off the concept (Mom is called away unexpectedly, leaving Dad in charge of the kids and household for the day!)

Dad’s Day In is a five-reel, thirty-payline online slot. Coin values range from one cent to a whopping twenty dollars, and max coins is set at thirty. That’s no joke… you could actually bet six hundred dollars a spin on this punter! The jackpot is six thousand coins, or one hundred twenty thousand dollars.

The reels are situated on what looks like an old-fashioned tube TV set, with retro-cool, avocado-colored wallpaper in the background. The images on the reels are pastel depictions of rubber ducks, pacifiers, and teddy bears – the kinds of things that kids drag around. A vacuum cleaner, a pot boiling over, a malfunctioning washer machine, and a phone ringing off the hook represent the troubles Dad faces during what will probably be the longest day of this life. This game features wild, scatter, bonus, and multiplier symbols. Hopefully you’ll win enough money to keep a bit in reserve for a babysitter.
