Slot Summary

In 2022, BGaming released Penny Pelican as a Sea-themed treasure hunt whose central character lives beside a fishing village. Its 5x3 base uses 20 paylines, but the sharper idea arrives through Wild Multipliers on the middle reels. Free Spins make those Wilds sticky, shifting the round from ordinary line evaluation toward accumulating valuable positions.
MechanicsWild Multipliers become sticky during Free Spins

How It Plays

Ordinary spins resolve across 20 paylines, with Wild symbols limited to the 3 middle reels. Their substitution role is strengthened by an attached random multiplier.

When several multiplying Wilds contribute to the same winning line, their values are added rather than applied separately. This makes overlapping Wild participation the key base-game interaction.

Theme & Atmosphere

Penny Pelican places its Cartoon Animal hero in a harbor beside a fishing village, tying the Sea and Fish themes to a small-scale Treasure search.

The coastal setting gives the slot a lighter storybook character. Its Treasure imagery supports the bonus premise without displacing Penny Pelican as the recognizable subject.

Features & Win Potential

Random multiplier values of x2 or x3 attach to Wild symbols on the middle reels. More than one participating Wild produces an additive result for that payline.

Sticky Wilds change the same symbols during Free Spins. Once present, their positions remain occupied until the round ends, preserving both substitution and Free Spins Multiplier value.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins begin after 3 Bonus symbols land on the required reels. The game randomly awards between 9 and 18 spins, and the round cannot retrigger.

The Bonus Buy provides direct access at the displayed cost. During the purchased or naturally triggered round, qualifying Wild Multipliers remain Sticky through the final spin.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.98%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
