Bicicleta Slot Review 2023

The Bicicleta slot is a 5 reel, 25 payline game that’s been created by Yggdrasil Gaming. With a football theme, you can spin away from just 25p a spin across all devices. The Trophy Bonus feature can reward you with free spins, cash prizes and a wild reel (in the free spins). In the Free Spins feature, you can begin with up to 24 free spins as well as win cash prizes, a wild reel and plenty of addition sticky wilds. The RTP is a respectable 96.3%.

The Bicicleta slot is played with 5 reels, 4 rows and 25 paylines. Playable from just 25p per spin, it caters to high rollers as you can go as high as £100 per spin. All 25 paylines pay from left to right so you need to land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on successive reels to form a winning combination.

Next to the main spin button is the Autoplay button – you can choose from 10 to 1,000 spins or even click on the Infinity symbol for unlimited spins. If you click on the wheel icon, you can increase/decrease the volume as well as mute/unmute the sound effects and ambient sound. You can even determine the spin speed.

Furthermore, you can display your stakes in coins or actual money and uses the space bar (playing on a laptop or PC) to spin. You can also customise the Autoplay function by stopping it when you get a win of a certain amount if your balance increases or decreases by a chosen amount or if you trigger the Free Spins feature.

The Bicicleta variance is medium which means it’s a nicely balanced slot with a steady stream of smaller wins and a few bigger ones (mainly from the bonus features). With a hit frequency of 26.1% (meaning over 1 in 4 spins will result in a winner), the max payout per spin is 1,900 x your total stake.

The Bicicleta RTP is 96.3% which is about average for an online slot. You can play Bicicleta on desktop, mobile and tablet devices – that’s if your device uses iOS, Android or Windows operating systems.

The Bicicleta slot has a football theme as ‘bicicleta’ is the Spanish word for bicycle, meaning bicycle/overhead kick. With cartoon-style graphics, you are taken to a football stadium. The graphics are not as high definition as other online slots but are more than appropriate for a football-themed slot.

With an upbeat soundtrack which would be more suited to a nightclub than a footie stadium, symbols include football-themed diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts. The other 4 main symbols are represented by footballers – the Ronaldo inspired character is the most rewarding giving you 1.2, 4 or 10 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 across a payline. The wild symbol substitutes for all symbols bar the Free Spin scatter and Trophy symbol.

Bicicleta isn’t the best-designed slot you’ll come across – especially considering that Yggdrasil Gaming slots look fantastic in general.

Bicicleta comes with 3 bonus features altogether – you have the Trophy Bonus feature which is in play in the base game and Free Spins feature. It gives you cash prizes, free spins and a sticky wild reel. It’s all about the Free Spins feature where all wilds are sticky and the footballers try and score an overhead kick for extra sticky wild symbols.

Trophy Bonus feature

There’s a Trophy symbol which can land on reel 5 in the base game and Free Spins feature – when it lands, it will activate the Trophy Bonus feature. Up for grabs is a coin win, free spins and the Wild Reel feature:

Free Spins feature

The most important symbol in the Bicicleta slot game is the Free Spin symbol which is the scatter – 3 or more present anywhere on the reels will trigger the Free Spins feature:

• 3 Free Spin scatters = 8 free spins
• 4 Free Spin scatters = 16 free spins
• 5 Free Spin scatters = 24 free spins

During the free spins, all wild symbols are sticky for the duration of the feature – this means that wilds will remain fixed in position for all remaining free spins.

Keep an eye of the 4 footballer symbols as they will try and score a goal with a ‘bicicleta kick’ after each free spin. If they manage to hit the back of the net, they will transform into a sticky wild symbol for the rest of the feature. This can result in 4 extra sticky wilds on the reels.

Wild Reel feature

If you land a Trophy symbol on reel 5 in the Free Spins feature and it reveals the Wild Reel feature, all symbols on 1 randomly selected reel will become sticky wilds. This can occur on reels 1, 2, 3 or 4.

The Bicicleta slot isn’t the best-looking game you’ll play – saying that, it’s particularly impressive if you like sticky wilds and big potential payouts. Medium variance, you can win up to 1,900 x your total stake which is high for a football-themed slot. With an average win in over 1 in 4 slots, it’s perfect if you’re a footie fan.
