With a 70s disco theme, the Funk Master slot is sure to make you catch disco fever. Set in a 70s dance party, it’s like you’ve been thrown into the Saturday Night Fever film. With a colourful background and groovy soundtrack, the visuals are bright and energetic. It has a retro feel naturally with colourful animated disco lights shining as you play the game.

Funk Master Mobile

Despite taking its inspiration from the 70s, Funk Master was created using HTML5 technology. This means you play the slot on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. The 8×8 grid works well on mobiles (including iOS and Android) but is better suited to laptops and PCs for more clarity.

Funk Master Bonus Features

The Funk Master slot comes with 5 bonus features. With avalanches, look out for Dancing Wilds which move to random positions awarding an avalanche. Unlocking all Dancing Wild Hotspots will give you a Dancing Wild. Then you have multiplier symbols which come with multipliers up to 10x. Multiple multipliers see their values added together. This all applies in the free spins but the Dancing Wild Hotspot is bigger in size. You’ll also play on a grid that can reach 9×12 in size.

Avalanche feature

When you land a winning cluster, the Avalanche feature is triggered. The winning cluster is removed from the reels with new symbols filling the empty positions on the grid. This allows for the possibility of successive wins. The avalanches keep on coming until no more new wins are formed. This feature has been used in other NetEnt slots with Gonzo’s Quest the first to deploy it.

Dancing Wild feature

Look out for the dancing wild on the grid. When part of a win, the Dancing Wild feature is triggered. The dancing wild boogies over to an empty position that is adjacent in any direction. Once this happens, an avalanche occurs.

At the start of each base game spin, a Dancing Wild Hotspot that is 2×2 in size is randomly placed on the grid. When symbols in this square is part of a winning cluster, the positions unlock. If all positions are unlocked, 1 Dancing Wild symbol appears in 1 of the empty Dancing Wilds Hotspot positions.

Multiplier feature

Look out for lit fuse-bomb multiplier symbols which can appear anywhere on the grid in the base game and free spins. Not part of winning clusters, multiplier values are 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x which apply to any wins on the grid. This is known as the Multiplier feature. If 2 or more multiplier symbols appear on the reels at the same time, the total win from that spin is multiplied by the sum of the multipliers (i.e. 10x + 10x = 20x multiplier).

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is activated by collecting 3 or more dancing wild symbols. With 6 free spins awarded, the triggering Dancing wilds stay in position for the duration of the feature.

Played on a 9×8 grid, the Dancing Wilds Hotspot is 3×3 in size. If you unlock all Dancing Wilds Hotspot positions, 2 Dancing wilds will be added to the grid. As in the base game, the Dancing Wilds appear on a random empty position within the Dancing Wilds Hotspot. Furthermore, 1 more row is added. The maximum number of rows can grow to 12.

From non-UK players, there’s a Buy feature option. You can trigger the Free Spins feature for a cost of 125 x your total stake. As with the normal method, 6 free spins are awarded.

Funk Master Review Summary – tear up the dance floor

An explosion of groovy colour is guaranteed in the Funk Master slot. With superb graphics and a great soundtrack, it looks a lot like Push Gaming’s Jammin’ Jars. NetEnt must have surely take inspiration of the most popular grid slot around.

In terms of the gameplay, Funk Master has more similarities to other grid slots such as Sweet Bonanza (Pragmatic Play) and Cyberslot Megaclusters (Big Time Gaming). The downside is that the aforementioned games offer much bigger win potential.

Whilst NetEnt’s previous Cluster Pays game, Gonzo’s Gold, only had 1 bonus feature and simpler gameplay, it offers 6,500 x stake max wins. In relation to Funk Master, the 3,337 x stake max win is a little underwhelming truth be told. Saying that, the bigger wins will come from the multiplier symbol, especially if more than 1 appear on the grid.

In summary, Funk Master is sure to make you get your groove on but the max win potential and rather simple bonus features won’t appeal to hardcore grid slot players. If you’re new to this type of game and love 70s disco, it’s worth playing for sure.
