Slot Review: Travel Bug

We’ve heard some of our globe-trotting fans say that they had caught “the travel bug” as a cute way of expressing their penchant for sightseeing all over the world. Lesser-known internet casino software firm Rival has turned that saying right on its head, however, with an excellent online slot game that explores a tongue-in-cheek concept… traveling bugs! (Literally – as in “insects!”) Travel Bug is a slot machine title featuring a bevy of creepy, crawling creatures exploring the world’s wonders. We think that you will get a kick out of the whimsical illustrations and clever theming of this title.

Travel Bug is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot. Coin values range from one cent to twenty-five cents, with the option to bet as many as ten coins. That means that, at max, you are only risking two dollars and fifty cents a spin on this punter. Not everyone prefers to gamble their life savings on one spin of the reels, so this is a definitely-welcome departure from all the high rollers’ delights on the market today! The jackpot is an itty-bitty twelve hundred fifty dollars (five thousand coins), but keep in mind that this small prize means that the machine will hit very, very often. There’s nothing like the thrill of a slot game jackpot win, and you will rarely have a better chance at this moment than you will playing Travel Bug!

On the reels, you will see a group of winged, tentacle-d, crawling creepies, all decked out in their finest clothes and toting luggage. Bug Wild is the wild symbol of this game, and can stand in for any other image in a winning combination. The suitcase bug is the scatter symbol. There is a bonus game that is quite fun, as well as a “Can’t Lose” free spins feature that is among the best we’ve played.
