The Pelican Pete free pokies game is an Aussie themed game developed by Aristocrat. The game uses the standard betting interface as most of the said company’s online slots game. Pelican Pete also uses a 5×4 reel. Nonetheless, it’s one of the oldest slot games of Aristocrat, as can be readily perused from its rather obsolete graphics. Even so, the game is still a crowd favourite for its user-friendly rules and overall fun – nothing too serious theme.

Aussie punters really love having a burl on one of Aristocrats more lighter themed (fun) style poker machines in their local casino. This game can be enjoyed a a few online sites like Heart of Vegas but no Aussie players for real money at this point.

This slot game can be played to a maximum of 50 paylines. The total bet amount is determined by the number of lines you’ve selected times the amount you bet using the Bet button. All the wins paid are from left to right solely. Any wins that occur on different lit paylines would automatically be summed up as total winnings for a single spin.

Game Symbols

Besides the usual symbols like 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, Pelican Pete makes use of beach and trademark Australian symbols as well. Take note that the common symbols all reward a maximum of 50 credits. On the other hand, higher-rewarding symbols include the Fish, Anchor, Starfish, and Treasure Chest symbols.
These are able to give you up to 75 credits if you are able to land on 5 of a kind. The symbol with the most value is the Sun symbol, though, and it can pay by as much as 100 credits.
The wild symbol in Pelican Pete is the Pelican with gold coins overflowing from its beak. It’s able to substitute for all the other symbols, with the exception of the scatter symbol.
The Pelican wild symbol only has a chance of appearing on all the available reels except reel 1, and wins that feature it are promptly multiplied by the amount shown on the Bet button.
The scatter symbol is represented by the Pharos (Lighthouse) symbol, which is able to trigger one of cracker special features. Be advised that it only appears on reels 1, 2, and 3 only.

Special Bonus Features Pelican Pete

As said above, once you are able to form a combination of 3 lighthouses in a single spin, the Free Spin feature will be activated. It rewards players with a static 10 bonus spins, and it automatically starts as well.
During a round of Free Spins, if a scatter symbol appears below a Pelican symbol a player will earn a bonus prize of 5 extra spins. The Pelican symbol becomes a stacking wild, giving players a higher chance of getting big wins involving wilds as well as a greater opportunity to earn said extra spins.
The Gamble option is another special feature that is included by Aristocrat in this game; so much so that it has become their trademark of theirs. It can be activated anytime by the player, as long as he was able to make winning combinations in his current spin. It gives the player a chance to double or quadruple the said winnings. If you want to double your earnings, you need to guess the colour of a card.
Anyone who wants to quadruple his winnings, on the other hand, has to do the suit-guessing game, which requires you to pinpoint whether the card is a Heart, Spade, Diamond, or Club.
