Video slots inspired by TV shows and movies are common on the market, and as we expect, they attract fans to spin and try their luck with their favorite characters. IGT software provider designed and developed a video slot finding inspiration in the popular Netflix show about ladies behind bars in the women’s prison. “Orange is the New Black” is an attractive and engaging game that offers a bit unusual graphics and characters from the show as paying symbols.

Theme and Symbols

“Orange is the New Black”, an American comedy-drama TV show set in minimum-security federal women’s prison, is the theme of this game, and some of the main characters will appear on the reels as higher paying symbols. Piper Chapman, Alex Vause, Crazy Eyes, Georg Mendez, and Gloria Mendoza give attractive payouts, but ladies can also trigger some features. The game offers Wild and Scatter symbols with their common powers.

“Orange is the New Black” video slot is interestingly designed with characters that will attract fans. Also, short videos from the show will randomly be played while the original soundtrack follows the game.

Betting Options and Other Functions

The game is not complicated for playing and features standard five reels and three rows with 30 fixed paylines crossed over the screen. Three and more matching symbols, except Scatters, form winning landing on the paylines from left to right.

Players set the line bet, and each payout shown in the paytable will be multiplied by it when wins happen.

Even in this slot with symbols from the TV show, the lowest paying symbols stay the same as usual. Ten, Jack, Queen, and King pay 1x, 3x, and 5x, while Ace gives 3x, 5x, and 10x.

Higher paying icons are well-known to all fans of “Orange is the New Black” TV show. Gloria Mendoza pays 5x, 10x, and 20x, Georg Mendez, called Pornstache, gives 6x, 12x, and 25x, Crazy Eyes – 7x, 15x, and 35x, while Alex pays 8x, 20x, and 40x.

As we’ve expected, the main character offers the best deal, so Piper pays 15x, 35x, and 100x.

Special Features

The Title will appear as a Wild symbol that pays and substitutes for all regular symbols. Wilds pay more than regular symbols – 15x, 35x, and 100x.

Free Spins Bonus symbols, as it is obvious, can trigger some free rounds. When three of those icons appear scattered on reels 1, 2, and 3, independently of the paylines, the feature is triggered. Any three Free Spins Bonus symbols also pay 1x the total bet.

Before free rounds, two wheels appear on the screen. Players spin the wheels to get the number of Free Spins and the win multiplier that will be applied to all wins during the feature. Free Spins can start regularly, but also some features can be added. After wheels, four ladies can appear behind bars bringing different features. The random cell is opened, and one of four features is awarded:

Crazy Eyes feature – reels 1, 2, and 3 turn Wild increasing players’ chances for winning combinations to occur
Alex Vause feature – turns any symbol into multiple examples of a single type
Mendoza’s Double Game – any win during the Free Spins, multiplied by the multiplier won on the wheel, is doubled
Piper’s All in feature – activates the Crazy Eyes feature, Alex Vause, and Mendoza’s Double feature all at once, so players get stacked Wilds, more matching icons, and double payouts.

Players can also get the Transferring Wilds feature, where two sets of reels are activated. Prisoners can be transferred to new cells, leaving their positions for Wild symbols to appear. Any Wild on the one set of reels gets copied over to another, awarding extra chances to get longer winning combinations.

In a unique bonus round, the progressive jackpot can be won. The feature is placed in the prison toilet block where players are supposed to pick a stall from the five of them offered on the screen to trigger the jackpot wheel. The wheel can award Minor, Major, or Grand cash prizes.

Conclusion

Although it can not be found for free playing, “Orange is the New Black” is available to play in online casinos, as also in land-based ones around the world. This is a dynamic video slot with attractive symbols and payouts, especially for fans of the popular women’s prison-themed TV show. Wilds have the common role, but Free Spins this time come with multipliers and amazing features, which almost guarantee winning combinations. Still, it is tricky to trigger the feature, so be patient and spin again!
