Funky Buddha Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits
The Funky Buddha slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols appearing from left to right, beginning from reel 1 and across any payline, will result in a winning combination. It’s as simple as online slots come.
In terms of bet options, you can play Funky Buddha from 10p to £100 per spin. The max bet of £100 may vary at different sites with online slots. To change your stake, click/press the ‘Coins’ button under the reels. This brings up all options.
Located outside the UK? There is an Autoplay function where you select 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100 auto spins. Additionally, there are Turbo and Hyper Modes for quicker spins (again, not available in the UK).
The Funky Buddha RTP rate is 95% which is just lower than the online slots average of 96%. This is the standard rate for Blueprint Gaming slots these days by the way. Medium volatility, there is no hit frequency rate information at the time of writing.
Lastly, the Funky Buddha slot comes with 50,000 x bet max wins. This is the top number advertised for Blueprint Gaming slots but the actual max payout won’t likely reach this level.
Theme: sample chillout tunes at this classy beach club
With a Beach Club theme, the Funky Buddha slot takes you to a swanky beach club where you sample chillout tunes. Ironically, there is a beach club in Marbella (Spain) that has the same name but this seems to be a coincidence. It’s also ironic that I’m writing this review just outside Marbella.
With palm trees, sun loungers, the sea, luxury yachts and the sun in the backdrop, the setting takes you behind a DJ’s decks complete with speakers and cocktails on either side. It’s accompanied by a chilled Ibiza-style soundtrack which is normally played in the afternoon after having a mad one the night before.
On the reels, you will see neon-style A, K, Q and J royals. Higher-value symbols include cocktails, sunglasses, headphones and champagne. The champagne symbol is the best-paying awarding 1, 5 or 100 x bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. A screen full of champagne symbols will result in a 1,000 x bet payout.
Then there is a Gold Turntable Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. Other symbols include the Party Bonus Scatter and Gold Vinyl Disc Cash symbols. Importantly, there are 4 Buddha Collect symbols, each with their own unique vibe/look.
| Symbol | Payouts/Info |
|---|---|
 J | 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 1 or 5 x bet |
 Q | 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 1 or 5 x bet |
 K | 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2 or 7.5 x bet |
 A | 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2 or 7.5 x bet |
 Cocktail | 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 3 or 10 x bet |
 Sunglasses | 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 3 or 10 x bet |
 Headphones | 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 4 or 20 x bet |
 Champagne | 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 5 or 100 x bet |
 Gold Turntable Wild | Substitutes for all symbols above |
 Gold Vinyl Disc Cash | Prizes are collected when Buddha Collect symbol lands on reel 5 |
 Party Bonus Scatter | 3 on 3 middle reels triggers Funky Free Spins feature |
Funky Buddha Mobile
Created using HTML5 technology, Funky Buddha is compatible with laptop, PC, tablet and mobile devices. If you play at mobile casino sites like many of us, you’ll be glad to learn it’s available to play on iOS, Android and Windows-powered smartphones.
Funky Buddha Bonus Features
With 3 bonus features, the Funky Buddha slot comes with Cash symbols that are collected when a Buddha Collect symbol appears on reel 5. Collecting the cash prizes, the Buddhas can award respins, cash boosts and 10 x collections. There are also jackpots up to 2,000 x bet up for grabs. In the Funky Free Spins feature, collecting Buddha Collect symbols will award extra free spins and apply multipliers of up to 10x to Cash symbols collected.
Cash Collect feature
When you begin playing, you will notice that are 4 Buddha Cash Collect symbols. The Buddha Collect symbol is active initially which appears on reel 5 (the rightmost reel). If 1 or more Cash symbols appear on reels 1, 2, 3 and/or 4, alongside the Buddha Collect symbol, the Cash Collect feature will be triggered.
The Buddha Collect symbol expands to cover reel 5 entirely and collects the cash values displayed on the Cash symbols. Once this occurs, a new Buddha Collect symbol will be unlocked. Once all 4 of them are unlocked, they are active in the base game and free spins. Here is what each of the Buddha Collect symbols do:
| Buddha | Description |
|---|---|
 Buddha Collect | Collects Cash symbols on reels 1-4 when appearing on reel 5 |
 Buddha Respin Collect | Same as above + respins the first 4 reels for another chance to collect Cash symbols |
 Buddha Boost Collect | Same as above + awards a cash boost to the final amount collected |
 Buddha Super Collect | Same as above but collects any symbols up to 10 times |
Jackpot feature
As well as Cash symbols, there are 4 silver Vinyl Record Jackpot symbols that can appear on the reels. They will award fixed jackpots up to 2,000 x your total bet when appearing on reels 1-4 and any Buddha Collect symbol on reel 5:
| Jackpot | Prize |
|---|---|
 Mega | 2,000 x bet |
 Major | 100 x bet |
 Minor | 25 x bet |
 Mini | 10 x bet |
Funky Free Spins feature
The Funky Buddha slot also benefits from the Funky Free Spins feature. This is triggered by landing 3 Party Bonus Scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same base game spin. 10 free spins are then awarded.
During the feature, any unlocked Buddha Collect symbols remain active. They operate like in the base game collecting Cash symbols. Buddha Collect symbols are collected which can result in additional free spins and Cash Collect multipliers:
| Buddha Collect Symbols | Cash Collect Multiplier | Extra Free Spins |
| 3 | 2x | +5 |
| 6 | 3x | +5 |
| 9 | 5x | +5 |
| 12 | 10x | +5 |
Finally, collecting 12 Buddha Collect symbols will result in 20 additional free spins and a Cash Collect multiplier of 10x for all collected Cash symbols.
Funky Buddha Review Summary: rehashes bonus features from other Blueprint Gaming slots
Visiting a beach club at a hot destination is meant to be fun, chilled out and a place to be free and yourself. The Funky Buddha slot offers this visually and it will instantly make you want to don your favourite twin set, order over-priced drinks and dance the night away, albeit for a few hours.
However, the gameplay is as recycled as the music the DJs play at these kinds of places. Blueprint Gaming’s previous release, The Goonies Hey You Guys slot, offers pretty much the same bonus features. There are fixed jackpots (up to 2,000 x bet) and the Cash Collect feature.
Even the Super Sloth Free Spins feature is identical to the Funky Free Spins feature in Funky Buddha. The only difference is that the 80s movie-themed slot comes with 4 randomly triggered One-Eyed Will Riches features.
Overall, the Funky Buddha slot may look the part but the gameplay is as original as the Rolex watches you’ll come across at these beach clubs, unfortunately. That said, it does offer 50,000 x bet max wins which is impressive. Just hope you collect plenty of Buddha Collect symbols in the free spins in order to get Cash symbol multipliers.
If you want something more original, both The Rave and DJ Psycho slots by Nolimit City offer a hard-hitting experience. With more upbeat music and unique bonus features, they offer 41,500 and 25,420 x bet max wins respectively.
