Old Fellow

Having clonedMoney Train 2with theirBandits Thunder Linksrelease, Stakelogic has now made sure to cover all bases by also copyingDead or Alive 2in Old Fellow. It's not an exact clone, obviously, as it's played using a different setup, but most of it is recognizable. Old Fellow is a strange mix of critters, gems, and mining that left us ambivalent when the testing had drawn to a close. It has one of those quiet personalities that doesn't make much of a mark, either positive or negative. The theme is as common as it gets, though the inclusion of so many animals on the wild symbols provides a small spark of individuality. The only thing going on here is the intriguing50,000xwin cap, which might cause some players to pause and consider taking Old Fellow for a spin. Without it, there is little else making Old Fellow stand out in a sea of slots, many of which are far more appealing. The only other main attraction is free spins with those sticky wild multipliers. Yes, they can be effective when wilds are locked in the right positions. Occasionally a few would land on the first few reels to fire off a bunch of repeat wins. Other times, bonus rounds could pass by with just one or two sticky wilds on latter reels doing jack all except display a grizzled miner and his wide-eyed friend. Since the base game had nothing special going on, we tended to bash the bonus buy button a lot where the variation in winnings was vast, ranging from around 5x to 500x the reference bet. So, brace for what can be highly capricious results. Technically, Old Fellow might be capable of extraordinary things, yet it doesn't immediately impress and provides nothing besides a big win cap to make it stand out. There's nothing terrible about Old Fellow as such, though the theme is unoriginal, the base game can drag, and everything is in danger of coming across as a bit corny. Old Fellow can perform, but there's no real hook outside the win cap, and it relies on features forged elsewhere.
