Conclusion
Bugs Tale appears on the surface to do everything you might expect from a standard slots game. All the boxes get themselves a tick; wilds, free spins and bonus features are all there. But the truth is, they tick those boxes by the skin of their teeth. Just and no more. What I mean by that is there are no interesting features within them. Wilds are just wilds. The bonus is a tile flipper and no more. The Free Spins are just that, but with a multiplier. They can’t be re-triggered and they don’t offer anything else beyond the basics. The game also looks OK. It’s not breath-taking but it is far from awful too. There are some bright and colourful symbols but having the gold versions, does cut down on the variety on offer from the standard symbols. The game does come with a very respectable house edge, sitting at just under what we consider to be average, so there is some value on offer here. It is just difficult to imagine anyone sticking around long enough to reap the rewards that come with slightly better than average house edge.
