Introduction to Last Call
Last Call is a casino slot from Wicked Games, inviting you to a rural watering hole, where the usual clientele passes time by consuming endless amounts of liquor. It's the type of place that welcomes any unfamiliar face with a cannonade of suspicious looks, and today, you get to be that face! So tread lightly not to cross anyone, and slowly approach the 4x4 grid, where you can place your orders and benefit from specials in the form of features. Still, whatever you do, when the last call approaches and the regulars are not ready to leave, all hell breaks loose, and you'll have to pick a team during the ultimate bar fight. Choose wisely, as the right team may help you leave with a win of up to 10,000x the bet, while the wrong one may bring a headache much worse than the next day's hangover.
If you don't feel like engaging in the drunken shenanigans just yet, you can sit quietly in the corner and watch the action unfold in the risk-free demo mode at the top of the page.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Last Call is a video slot from Wicked Games with 4 reels, 4 rows, and 20 paylines. You can choose your stake from a range of options, starting from a Min.bet of 0.2, which makes the game affordable for most budgets, up to a Max.bet of 400, suitable for the most daring high-rollers. The math profile runs on a default RTP of 96.57%, which is in line with the industry standards, promising stable long-term returns. You can expect high wins to carry slightly more value on average at the cost of a decreased frequency due to medium-high volatility, while the max win available on any single round is 10,000x the bet. The base hit frequency sits at an average rate of 30.39%.
The main scene of Last Call brings an image of a textbook bar in some small town, frequented almost exclusively by the local regulars. Raw, brick walls, a countertop in the corner, shoddy tables, and a forgotten dartboard - that's pretty much the essence of the decor. Most of the seats are already occupied, some by the characters from the studio's previous games, but there's always plenty of space at the bar. The atmosphere resounds with never-ending chatter on the clientele, breaking through a funky, rock music sipping from the speakers. If you're ready to step in and place your order, you can launch the game on any modern device, whether you prefer to play on a desktop, a smartphone, or a tablet.
Winning combinations must contain 3 or 4 matching symbols, situated on neighbouring reels, starting from the leftmost one, and cover any of the active paylines. The paytable hierarchy consists of two groups of paying icons, with the low-paying ones represented by four bottle caps with card suits, awarding 1x the bet for a combination of 4 of a kind. An eight ball, a cell phone, an ashtray, and a high-heeled shoe represent the premium symbols, offering payouts between 2x and 2.5x the bet for a complete payline of 4. Wilds are represented by a beer bottle, and they substitute for all regular symbols mentioned above. The reels also hold silver and gold Scatters in the form of brass knuckles spelling the game's title.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Last Call?
You can win up to 10,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Last Call?
The features are Wild Nudges, Bar Fight Bonus, and Feature Buy.
Wild Nudges
Wilds are stacked 4 symbols high, and they may land partially or fully visible. Whenever 3 land at the same time and they don't manage to form a win, all of them will nudge to fully cover their respective columns, thus guaranteeing a hit. The same can happen when 4 Wilds land, which results in a so-called blackout, where the grid is entirely filled with Wilds.
Bar Fight Bonus
A special re-spin may trigger randomly on any base game spin. When it does, an overlay with only blank positions, silver, and gold 2x2 Scatters shows on the reels. If you manage to land two matching Scatters directly next to each other, you trigger the respective bonus. The gold variant offers higher prizes on average.
Bar Fight Bonus begins with a selection screen where you pick one of two teams. Next, you move to a 4x6 grid with only blank positions and fighter symbols from each team. Each side has two counters that track the total prize and total health (starting from 100 points).
On every spin, fighter symbols may land, displaying power (up to 50) represented by a heart, and a cash value ( up to 1,000x the bet) or a multiplier (up to x10). If two opposing fighters are present, they engage in a brawl, and the one with the higher power value wins, adding its cash value to the total amount or multiplying it. The winner's power is decreased by the value from the defeated opponent, and he or she remains on the grid. The game continues until one side loses all its health, in which case you are guaranteed to receive the total value of the Win Pot, and if it's your team that prevailed, you also receive the total value of the Victory Pot.
Throughout the round, two special symbols may appear, granting their respective upgrades to the team on whose side they land.
Top Up = adds between 5 and 100 health points to the team's bar.
Snatch = moves the total value of the Victory Pot to the Win Pot.
Feature Buy
The game offers the possibility of taking some shortcuts by activating enhanced spins or triggering the bonus round instantly.
1.5x = triple chance of activating the Bar Fight Bonus.
5x = a guaranteed Wild, plus a double chance of activating the Bar Fight Bonus.
95x = instantly trigger a random Bar Fight Bonus.
400x = instantly trigger Gold Bar Fight Bonus.
Final Thoughts on Last Call
Wicked Games continues to embrace its edgy attitude with another release centring around substance abuse and the inevitable results of its intake. Just a moment ago, in the spirit of the Easter holiday atmosphere, we reviewed Overdose starring a bunny hopped up on 'drugs', and now, we roll into a countryside pub to binge drink with the locals. The creators undoubtedly poured a lot of heart into this setting, given the impressive amount of details, puns, and references to the studio's other games included in the scene. From symbols and a shoddy, makeshift grid fitted with a beer tap to a line-up of unique characters and a rich bar environment, everything feels well-defined and consistent. With high-quality artwork dressing the theme and a cool soundtrack rocking in the background, it's a memorable, adult setting with a solid dose of crude comedy.
Mechanically, Last Call puts all its eggs in one basket by channelling the entirety of the action to the bonus game. Hence, the base game may feel a bit tedious, with only occasional nudging Wilds breaking up the series of regular spins. However, once you get to the Bar Fight, it's more than likely to make up for the grind. The round is very cleverly structured, especially because, despite your team choice, you will be rooting for both of them throughout. If the one you pick prevails, even better. But if it doesn't, you always have the Win Pot to celebrate your hollow victory. Plus, the Snatch symbol may turn things around in an instant by transferring the entire Victory Pot to the Win Pot. Altogether, it's a dynamic fighting bonus that doesn't overcomplicate things and is super-easy to follow due to the straightforward power system combined with additive and multiplicative cash prizes. If you enjoy this type of confrontational playstyle wrapped in edgy humour, check out also Mortal Bromance from Shady Lady.
Last Call delivers a gripping fighting bonus with cash prizes and multipliers set in a rich bar environment packed with adult comedy.
