Fatz’s Diner Slot Review

Fatz’s Diner Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Fatz’s Diner slot is played on 5 reels, 5 rows and 40 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed when identical symbols land on 3 or more reels beginning from the leftmost reel (i.e. reel 1). To help you achieve wins, there are GigaBlox symbols (more details on this below).

When it comes to betting options, you can play Fatz’s Diner from 20p to £40 per spin. In both the desktop and mobile versions, there is a Cash Bet section below the reels. Click/press it and all stake/bet options appear on a screen.

Non-UK players can opt for Autoplay where you can choose infinite auto spins with single-win, win and loss limits. There’s also a Turbo Mode for quicker spin speed.

The Fatz’s Diner RTP rate is 96% which is the same as the online slots average. At the time of writing, we don’t know if there are other RTP versions but you should expect there will be. The lower RTP versions are normally used at new online slot sites. Unfortunately, there is no frequency rate information available either.

High volatility, the Fatz’s Diner slot comes with 9,000 x bet max wins. With 160 x bet max wins in the base game, the Fatz/Hippo multiplier in the free spins is the key to winning big.

Theme: turn on the jukebox and order up

With a 50s/diner theme, the Fatz’s Diner slot sees you step inside a classic diner. Featuring a jukebox in the corner, you’ll see burgers, fries and milkshakes in the backdrop. If you’ve seen the 1978 Grease film, you can clearly see the inspiration.

Well designed, the soundtrack is classic rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a colourful game which is fun and features exotic animals as the main characters. By the way, Fatz is the hippo who is the diner’s host/owner.

On the reels, the lower-value symbols include bananas, blueberries, salad and ham joints. Higher value symbols are represented by a Gangster Crocodile, Nerd Monkey, Pink Lady Gazelle, Greaser Lion and Fatz (the hippo). Fatz is the best-paying symbol with 0.6, 1.5 or 4 x bet awarded if you land 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Then you have the Vinyl Record Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. Look out for the Expand & Respin symbol which gives you respins and expands the current Gigareel. Additionally, there is a Bonus Scatter which is key to triggering the Free Spins feature.

Fatz’s Diner Mobile

Released by Yggdrasil Gaming on the 5^th of October 2023, Fatz’s Diner can be enjoyed on mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices. Using HTML5 technology, it’s compatible with iOS, Android and/or Windows smartphones. For the best visual experience, I would always recommend a desktop device.

Fatz’s Diner Bonus Features

With 4 bonus features, the Fatz’s Diner slot comes with colossal GigaBlox symbols, respins and expanding Gigareels and free spins. In the latter, collect Expand & Respin symbols to increase the Gigareel for the remainder of the feature as well as add a multiplier to the Fatz/Hippo symbol.

GigaBlox feature

Like with other GigaBlox slots, such as 4ThePlayer’s 10000 BC DoubleMax, Fatz’s Diner uses the GigaBlox mechanic/feature. On each spin, between 2 and 5 reels can merge to form a GigaBlox reel. These consist of oversized/colossal symbols that are 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 in size. Acting like individual symbols, they dramatically increase your chances of landing a winning combination.

Expand & Respin feature

On the reels, and Expand & Respin symbol can land. When it does, the Expand & Respin feature is in play. A free respin is awarded with the current Gigareel expanding by 1 position towards the triggering symbol. Multiple Expand & Respin symbols can also land meaning extra respins and more expansions. They, however, can only land on single reels.

Free Spins feature

The Fatz’s Diner slot focuses on the Free Spins feature. It’s triggered by landing 5 or more Bonus Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The number of free spins won will be 5 plus the number of Bonus Scatters.

If you triggered with 5 Bonus Scatters, you’d begin with 10 free spins for example. This means you can begin with a possible 30 free spins.

Every 3 Expand & Respin symbols collected during the free spins will see the minimum Gigareel size increase for the remainder of the feature. Furthermore, a multiplier will be applied to the best-paying symbol (Fatz the Hippo). It begins at 3x and increases by 3 every time a win involving a Hippo occurs. Lastly, when Bonus Scatters land, additional free spins are won (with no limits).

Buy Bonus feature

Non-UK players have the option of the Buy Bonus feature. You have 2 options to buy your way into the Free Spins feature ranging from 100 to 600 x your total bet:

Fatz’s Diner Review Summary: Hippo key to fat wins

Visually superb, the Fatz’s Diner slot is not your usual diner/50s style game. Yes, the setting is familiar but the exotic animals add an element of fun to the mix. Looks-wise, it does resemble the Grease movie with the Greaser Lion bearing quite a lot of similarities to John Travolta/Danny Zuko.

The GigaBlox mechanic has been seen many times before but Yggdrasil Gaming has managed to give it a new lease of life with the Expand & Respin feature. It allows Gigareels to grow in size as well as awarding respins. That said, a screen full of the Fatz/Hippo symbol will result in a 160 x bet payout.

The real potential is in the Free Spins feature. Collecting Expand & Respin symbols will see the Gigareels increase in size for the remainder of the feature. More importantly, the Fatz/Hippo symbol will receive a 3x multiplier. Every time you get a win with Fatz/Hippo, the multiplier increases by 3.

This does also mean that big wins are only available with wins involving Fatz/Hippo. With 9,000 x bet max wins available, the Fatz’s Diner slot is also about Fatz/Hippo. Other wins/features don’t really touch the sides, unfortunately.

Still hungry for more greasy food? You can build your own burger in the Royale with Cheese Megaways slot by iSoftBet. You pick ingredients for the free spins including extra free spins, a higher starting multiplier, minimum Megaways and symbol removals. It also comes with 50,000 x bet max wins.
