The Sydney Opera House is an international landmark. But online casino software providers can give you a bit of the opera experience sitting at home through video pokies. One such online pokie is Fat Lady Sings from the portfolio of the leading Australian online casino software provider Microgaming. True to its theme, it is an audio visual delight. Fat Lady Sings is live at Australian online casinos like Platinum Play, Roxy Palace and All Slots.
The reels are set in an ornate stage like background. There are actually three fat ladies – the divas from different regions. They are the Viking fat lady, the Asian fat lady and the traditional fat lady. Each of them is depicted in a stylized and ethnic get-up. The playing card symbols are fat and stylized like the ladies. The Fat Lady Sings logo is the wild symbol and the masks symbol is the scatter symbol. The wild symbol also awards the highest line payouts. The win animations are one reason that you would want to play Fat Lady Sings online pokie. The fat ladies break out of their frame into a real opera backdrop. They take a deep breath, spread their arms, tilt their head back and render high octave notes that shatter glass.
The glass shattering is the theme of the bonus round, which is triggered by three or more scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels in the same spin. Depending on the number of scatters in the trigger there is a range defined for the number of free spins, the free spins payouts multiplier and the amount of bonus credits. The exact parameters are determined through a bonus game on the second screen. First the traditional fat lady appears on the screen along with a collection of wine glasses. You have to pick either a high, medium or low pitch for the fat lady. She then performs an aria breaking a number of glasses with her singing. The number of glasses broken determines the number of free spins within the applicable range. Then the Asian fat lady shatters a number of Japanese ceramic wine jugs to reveal the payout multiplier. Finally the Viking fat lady shatters beer glasses for allotting the bonus credits.
Fat Lady Sings is a 5 reels video pokie with 25 selectable paylines. You can wager up to 5 coins per payline and the coin size varies from AU$0.01 to AU$0.25. This leads to a maximum total bet of AU$31.25. However, high rollers at Australian online casinos should not avoid this online pokie because it is truly fascinating.
