The Flintstones Slot Machine
Classic TV cartoons have always proved popular ground for online casino developers. WMS's The Jetsons, an official tie-in with TV gods Hanna-Barbera, took the characters and feel of the original '60s show and gave nostalgic slots punters something to reminisce about.
In a similar vein, Playtech's The Flintstones video slot takes a world-famous sitcom/cartoon and gives it a slots makeover. The same great characters are here - working (cave)man Fred Flintstone, housewife Wilma, Fred's best pal Barney Rubble and his wife Betty - plus the original music and many of the wacky sound FX.
And as in many TV-themed slots online, the bonuses come thick and fast. But do they add up to the whole package or should it be sent hurtling back to the Stone Age? Read our review to find out.
Play 1024 Ways To Win For Real Cash
The Flintstones video slot is played on a set of 4x5 reels. The game is bet using 1024 ways to win. That means two things: wins can come just by matching two symbols on adjacent reels.
The total stake is set at 40x the coin value. Coins range from 0.01 up, so make sure your 0.40 basic spins fit in with your budget.
Stone Age-looking J, Q, K, and Ace symbols are the low limit payers, awarding 5 coins for 3-of-a-kind to 45 coins for 5OAK. The slab of ribs and telephone come next, with the female leads, Betty and Wilma, paying 80 and 100 coins respectively for 5OAK.
Barney Rubble bumps the payouts up a little, dishing out 200 coins for 5OAK, but Fred Flintstone is the best jackpot symbol, awarding 400 coins for 5OAK. In addition, both Barney and Fred will cover two spots on a vertical reel.

Enjoy A Rocky Ride For Bigger Base Game Wins
Like all high-volatility online slots, The Flintstones is all about nice extra bonuses. There's a randomly-triggered on in the base game: a 'Rocky Ride' where Fred and best pal Barney Rubble will race across the reels adding mystery icons and multipliers to boost your bankroll.
Look out for the Dino Wild too. This is played by Fred's over-sized prehistoric pet dinosaur, who substitutes for all regular icons other than the Scatters. He'll also pay 1000 coins for 5OAK.
Choose Your Free Spins Bonus Game
Three or more free games Scatters on Reels 2-4 will trigger a bonus with three choices. All rounds can be retriggered by landing further Scatter symbols:
- Dino Multiplier: Players receive 10 free spins with an increasing multiplier on wins. The Flintstones' pet dinosaur, Dino, will dig for bonus - and bigger wins.
- The Great Gazoo: Punters get 12 free spins with 'Snapping Extra Wilds' added to the reels. If you remember the friendly Martian who cropped up in many episodes of the show, you'll like this bonus game. Gazoo turns other symbols into Wilds.
- Wilma Wild Free Games: Punters get five free spins with an extra ultra spin added. Fred's wife Wilma will hoover up Wilds on the reels (how very gender-specific). Those Wilds will be added to the reels for one final 'Ultra Spin'.
