The Incredible Balloon Machine Demo by Crazy Tooth Studio
Holding the spin button in The Incredible Balloon Machine blows up a balloon, and the bigger it grows, the more it’s worth. A pop wipes that value out. Crazy Tooth Studio calls the system WiNCREASE, subtitled Inflate Your Win, and this slot has no reels or paylines behind it.
The game is set high up in the sky, and the machine of the title does the inflating. Crazy Tooth built it as a Microgaming exclusive, and it went live in January 2020.
Slot Bonus Features
Inflate Your Win
Each go is a hold. While the button stays down, the balloon keeps inflating and its value keeps climbing, and the point where the player stops decides what the round pays. A balloon can burst while it’s still growing, and a burst balloon pays nothing, so each extra moment of holding adds value and keeps that value exposed.
That puts the pace of play in the player’s hands. Expect free play in this demo to be less about watching results arrive and more about learning where you like to let go.
Light-Bulb Multipliers
A random multiplier can light up during a round, shown on bulbs, and it lifts the win by anything from 2x to 10x. It appears by chance, on top of whatever the balloon is already worth, so a long hold and a big multiplier may or may not arrive together.
The Golden Balloon
Golden balloons lead to the Pick Bonus. Blowing one up gives a chance to start the bonus, where the choice moves from how long to hold to which balloon to pick. Each pick reveals a credit prize or a multiplier, and the bonus goes on through further rounds of balloons.
The balloon puts a single decision in the player’s hands, and the multipliers and the golden balloon add chance on top of it. Crazy Tooth rates the game Medium, a fair label for rounds that can keep building or end with nothing.
How to Play
How a Balloon Pays
A round runs in one order. Set the stake, then hold the spin button and the balloon starts to fill, its value growing with its size. Stop, and the round pays what the balloon has reached. Let it pop, and the round pays nothing.
A bulb multiplier may light up along the way, and a golden balloon may appear, giving a chance at the Pick Bonus. Free spins and wilds aren’t part of the game, and with no symbols to line up, there’s no paytable either.
TaDa Gaming’s Cash Balloon also ends a round with a pop, but its balloon has a rising multiplier towards a 100x limit and a cash-out button. Here the balloon’s size is the prize, and the hold sets it.
The Incredible Balloon Machine RTP
Crazy Tooth puts the return at 96.75%, and stakes run from 0.20 to 40. The studio’s best result from its own testing was 3,082x, a figure from its modelling rather than a stop the game enforces. Golden Hook, a later WiNCREASE game from December 2021 that swaps the balloon for a fishing line, shares the same 96.75% return and the same 3,082x best result.
