Bob’s Coffee Shop

Bob runs your typical hometown coffee shop, but it is not typical in any way, shape or form. Sure, it is a place to unwind and take some time off for yourself, but in a different way. Bongs, marijuana cigarettes, and lions with dreadlocked manes tell you what kind of coffee shop you’ll be having your evening tea at.

If Bob’s Rasta-color hat does not say it all, then this is a slot that reimagines the famous Reggae singer as a simple local businessman, but in Amsterdam, serving weed-laced treats.

How to Work the Controls on Bob’s Coffee Shop

With this game, you have a button panel at the bottom that lets you control all the settings you need to get the game going. Right in the middle of the bottom panel is the green spin button with the emblematic peace sign on it. Press this to start the game, but first, set your bet by choosing the bet value and number of lines you wish to play.

The game is played with a minimum purchase of 0.1 Sweepstakes Coins, with the max bet set at 10 SC. As you might have noticed, the game gives room for players betting on a budget but does not do much for the high rollers. Find the auto-spin button next to the spin button, which keeps the reels spinning up to 1,000 times.

Atop the game screen, the hamburger menu takes you to the game’s controls. In this section, you can choose the number of animations you wish to have on the reels. This section also tells you about different symbols and how much they pay out.

You also learn about the bonus game and how it works. Besides are the volume settings and a button with a badge that shows previous wins. The whole setup is well-designed and never eats away at the game screen.

Symbols and Paylines

Symbol Payouts – Bob’s Coffee Shop Slot

Bob’s Coffee Shop keeps a minimum amount of symbols which is good for players since they have more chances of hitting a winning combination when they spin the reels. Bob’s portrait is the highest-paying symbol with a payout of 500x your bet when you hit a match of 5.

The dreadlocked lion is the second-highest-paying symbol with a payout of 200x your bet. You also have a bong among the symbols with a payout of 100x for a match of 5. There are 4 high-paying symbols; the last one is the lips holding a marijuana cigarette with a payout of 100x your wager.

After these are the regular face card symbols. The first two, A and K, have a payout of 20x your wager. The other three are Q, J, and 10, each with a payout of 10x your wager. These may land more often than the high-paying symbols, but you sure do gain lots of cash when you hit the right combinations.

Bonus Features and Special Symbols

The base game on Bob’s Coffee Shop is great, the wins come often, and you have decent payouts on regular symbols. It gets even better when you land enough scatters for the bonus round.

Cross your fingers and hope you land the scatter, the signboard to the shop. Enter free spins mode by landing 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels.

Free Spins with Expanding Symbols

Bonus Round Bob’s Coffee Shop 

Free spins mode starts with 10 free spins. Before the game starts, a random symbol becomes a special symbol and expands to increase your winnings.

In addition to the expanding symbol, the signboard is also wild and substitutes all other symbols except the scatter and the special symbol to give you more wins. In addition to giving you more winning combinations, the symbol also pays out 1500x your bet.

Design and Graphics

Go on a journey to Amsterdam with BGaming’s Bob’s Coffee Shop. Set in Amsterdam’s streets, the game has the reels in a plume of smoke. This is just one of the features of the game’s graphics that will get a chuckle out of you. Bob stands alongside the reels with a bright smile and a marijuana cigarette between his fingers.

It’s the subtle animation features that will get you with the game. For instance, Bob’s marijuana cigarette stays smoking as you play. The symbols have animations for when you strike a win, like the lips blow smoke when you match a winning combination.

The soundtrack to back up the visuals is a reggae beat reminiscent of classic roots reggae. The chilled-out theme of the game instantly gets you in the mood to play. That you never have to wager big sums means that you are really always chilled as you spin the reels.

Conclusion

Bob’s Coffee Shop is a fun slot that takes on a theme most slots would rather leave untouched. BGaming delivers on all fronts with clean graphics and a soundtrack that is not repetitive. The software provider also gives players a huge max win with high payouts on the symbols for both Gold Coins and Sweepstakes Coins. This means you always collect a decent win whenever you match the high-paying symbols.

With more slots coming out with similar-looking themes, Bob’s Coffee Shop seems to have a longer shelf life than most. With medium to high volatility, the slot switches from small but consistent wins to big but patchy ones. This switch is sure to keep players hooked.

While we liked a lot of features about the slot, we noticed that there is no room for high rollers. The betting limits are quite low, and it’s hard to hit big sweepstakes wins on the base game. You would need to get to the free spins round, where expanding symbols considerably increases your winnings.

You also have the gamble and bonus buy features missing which would give you more control over your wagers. However, the software provider makes up for this with high payouts for symbols on the base game. Overall the slot plays well, with some laughs and giggles as you get acquainted with the full range of graphics and animation features.
