Introduction to Squeaky Clean
Squeaky Clean is a casino slot from Big Daddy Gaming. As soon as you open the game, you’re taken to a self-service laundry where something smells a bit fishy in the pile of dirty socks. It's run by a mafia family, and those washing machines could well be doing more than just washing clothes. Money laundering is a criminal process created to make money from illegal activities appear to have come from legitimate sources. The criminal would pass the money through a business that deals in a lot of normal day-to-day transactions to make it very difficult to trace where it originally came from. A laundrette is a classic venue for this type of operation, as you have customers coming in all day, paying for a range of small services, and cash changing hands all the time. In Squeaky Clean, you've got a host of suspicious characters, the usual card suits, wilds and a feature-packed bonus round, so it's very much a laundrette that isn't quite what it seems.
Squeaky Clean is a video slot from Big Daddy Gaming with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 15 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet is 1,000. The game’s default RTP is 96.00%, and the max win is capped at 5,000x the bet. Squeaky Clean has high volatility.
The game looks like a cartoonish laundromat with washing machines, clothes on a rack, a tiled floor, and a laundry basket full of cash on one of the machines. The machines are purple while the walls are blue. The semi-transparent reels are in the middle of the laundromat. You win by lining up 3 or more matching symbols on the 15 paylines. All wins must start on the leftmost reel, and the game is available on mobile phones, tablets and desktops.
The lower-paying symbols in Squeaky Clean are hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. Get five matching symbols on a payline, and each of these combinations awards 2x the bet. The higher-paying symbols are the four characters: the boy, the man, the woman, and the mob boss. They pay between 15x and 30x the bet for five matching symbols, making them considerably more attractive than the card suits. The Wild Symbol substitutes for all regular-paying symbols, helping to complete winning combinations.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Squeaky Clean?
You can win up to 5,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Squeaky Clean?
The features are Random Wild Feature, Free Spins, Buy Extra Spin, and Bet Boost.
Random Wild Feature
The Random Wild feature can occur at the start of any base game spin and has the potential to turn an ordinary spin into a far more exciting one. When it triggers, the game switches to a different reel set with additional wilds. There will always be at least two wilds in play during the feature.
The wilds can have multipliers of up to 5x. If multiple wilds land on the same payline, their multipliers are added together.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4 or 5 Bonus Symbols on the reels awards 8 free spins. The number of Bonus Symbols also determines how many locked wilds you get to start off the feature with. 3 Bonus Symbols don’t give you any locked wilds, while 4 Bonus Symbols give you 1 locked wild, and 2 symbols give you 2 locked wilds.
Prior to the first free spin, the locked wilds are positioned at random across the game area. If multiple locked wilds land in the same position,, their multipliers will be increased. Any further wilds that land during the feature will become locked in place for the rest of the round.
Each time a Bonus Symbol appears, you get an extra free spin, and the multiplier on every locked wild is increased by one.
There's another decision you can make prior to the free spins commencing. You can gamble to earn additional locked wilds by working your way up through eight levels. Each level you successfully climb will give you an extra number of locked wilds to start with:
- Level 1: 8 free spins.
- Level 2: 8 free spins and 1 locked wild.
- Level 3: 8 free spins and 2 locked wilds.
- Level 4: 8 free spins and 3 locked wilds.
- Level 5: 8 free spins and 4 locked wilds.
- Level 6: 8 free spins and 5 locked wilds.
- Level 7: 8 free spins and 6 locked wilds.
- Level 8: 8 free spins and 7 locked wilds.
The likelihood of winning the gamble goes up as you progress through the levels, but the risk of missing out on the next upgrade is still part of the equation. If you lose a gamble, you’re taken back to the base game without playing the Free Spins.
Buy Extra Spin
The Buy Extra Spin option allows you to buy one extra free spin when the free spins round comes to an end. You can also be offered the opportunity to buy another after you've already purchased a Buy Extra Spin.
The price is variable depending on the current state of the feature ladder. You can't buy an extra spin if every position on the reels already has a wild, or if the game's estimated average win for that state is already over 1,050x.
Bet Boost
Bet Boost offers several ways to increase your chances of hitting or buying a feature. All of these options are available in the base game.
Wild Spin guarantees the Random Wild feature for the cost of 5x your bet. Bonus Boost costs an additional 50% on top of your regular bet and more than doubles your chance of hitting the free spins. Super Bonus Boost is even more aggressive, costing an additional 150% on top of the regular bet and more than quadrupling your chance of triggering free spins.
The remaining options award free spins directly, with different numbers of locked wilds included at the start:
- Free Spins Level 1: 8 free spins at 50x the bet.
- Free Spins Level 2: 8 free spins and one locked wild for 85x the bet.
- Free Spins Level 3: 8 free spins and 2 locked wilds for 140x the bet.
- Free Spins Level 4: 8 free spins and 3 locked wilds for 225x the bet.
- Free Spins Level 5: 8 free spins and 4 locked wilds for 350x the regular bet.
Final Thoughts on Squeaky Clean
Squeaky Clean takes a fairly standard casino slot formula and gives it a rather fun twist. Instead of the usual fare of dragons, ancient temples and gold-hungry explorers you've seen a hundred times before, you've got a laundromat run by a rather dubious family. The cartoon graphics are vibrant, the characters are appropriate to the theme, and the background is full of little details that make you think you're looking at a real business where you probably wouldn't want to ask too many questions about the accounts.
The Random Wild feature can bring in extra wilds and multipliers, and the Free Spins give you locked wilds that can grow in power as the round goes. You also have the gamble option, which gives you a great chance to improve your starting conditions. Just remember that you lose the entire feature if you lose one gambling session. There are also the Buy Extra Spin and Bet Boost options, which give you a number of ways in which to spend your money in the pursuit of the features you're after.
The 5,000x max win is a respectable target, but it’s on the lower end for a modern slot considering the high volatility. The RTP of 96.00% is also acceptable, but nothing breath-taking. We do like the cheeky theme and the various ways you can get the wilds to work together.
Squeaky Clean from Big Daddy Gaming is an entertaining crime-themed slot with colourful graphics, useful wild multipliers, and a bonus round that offers some interesting choices.
