Beavis and Butt-Head slot review (Blueprint Gaming)

Beavis and Butt-Head are a famous cartoon duo who had their show on MTV

They first appeared on television in 1993, when MTV was still synonymous with Music Television, instead of the reality TV monstrosity it is today.

Beavis and Butt-Head were two couch potato douchebags who filled their time with pestering, screwing up jobs and watching music videos on MTV.

Pretty much the life of every 13 or 14-year-old boy at the time.

High time for Blueprint Gaming to make a video slot based on these two rascals. They integrated a lot of recognizable elements of the hilarious show in the slot:

• The always arguing Beavis and Butt-Head
• I need tp for my cornholio!
• Tossing around the remote control
• The “Yeah! Yeah!” and “That sucks” coming from Beavis and Butt-Head’s “huh, huh, huh.”

How does the Beavis and Butt-Head video slot work?

The Beavis and Butt-Head slot follows Blueprint’s fixed format for slots based on movies and series, such as Inspector Gadget and The Goonies.

There are 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and 20 fixed paylines. Furthermore, the game is packed with mini-features and free spins bonuses. You can also wager the free spins bonus you gained in an attempt to get a better bonus.

Bets are made from $€ 0.10 per spin and range up to a maximum of $€ 500 per spin.

The variance is medium. The theoretical payout rate is a bit disappointing: 95.49%.

Symbols and payouts

The Beavis and Butt-Head logo is stacked and pays off the most: 25 x the total bet for 5-of-a-kind.

Furthermore, all the famous characters from the series are represented on the reels. Beavis and Butt-Head are both good for 15 x the total bet for five identical symbols.

If you spin Mr van Driessen 5 x, the duo’s hippie teacher, you win 10 x the total bet. The same goes for poor school principal McVicker, who has to deal with our pimply friends’ constant bullying.

The four cards are worth a maximum of 5 x the total bet for 5-of-a-kind on an active payline.

The wild symbol replaces all symbols except the scatters.

Mini Bonus Features

Entirely in line with Blueprint’s style, this video slot is truly packed with mini bonus features.

Beavis and Butt-Head announce the features by getting super excited in front of the screen, followed by the legendary “Yeah! Yeah!” and “huh, huh, huh.” Sometimes it’s a false alarm, and out of frustration, Butt-Head throws the remote control at Beavis.

Other times you win 1 of the following features:

• Cornholio Wilds: 1 or more reels completely turn into stacked wilds
• Die Fly, Die: Extra Wilds appear on the reels.
• Colossal Couch Fishing: You get a Mega symbol on the screen, which Beavis can move as well.
• So Nacho: All nachos on your screen turn into another symbol.
• Butt Flambé: extra bonus symbols appear on the reels for a bigger chance of a bonus trigger.
• Some Like It Hot: Our buddies are drinking hot sauce, and the flames result in enormous payouts.

Main bonus features

You win the free spins bonus if you spin 3 or more scattered Hollywood Stars.

Now you win 1 out of 6 bonuses.

You can also try to get a better bonus, but you have to wager your current bonus. If the mission succeeds, you’ll get a more valuable bonus. If not, you will receive a consolation prize.

Don’t be a buzzkill: every round, you can choose between Beavis and Butt-Head. This can lead to cash or a Buzzkill. If the Kill-O-Meter is full, the bonus round is finished.

Customers suck: Choose from food boxes to find either cash prizes or upgrade symbols. However, if you have a worm in your burger, then the party is over.

To ‘B’ or not to ‘B’ free spins: During every free spin, 1 of the rascals changes into an extra Wild symbol. Super Spins turn both Beavis and Butt-Head into a wild symbol.

Maxi Mart free spins: Get free spins with extra Maxi Gulp Wild symbols and earn super spins.

The Great Cornholio free spins: Cornholio – the funny alter ego of Beavis – turns reels into Wild Reels. You can also win extra spins.

Just deserts big money: This is the bonus which can reward you the most bucks. Follow the trail in the desert and grab yourself enormous cash prizes. You can also trigger this bonus feature during the To ‘B’ or not to ‘B’ free spins or higher.

By the way, the main bonuses don’t happen too often, which may cause quite some frustration. Still, they often result in attractive rewards, especially if you manage to win 1 of the better features.

Our verdict on the Beavis and Butt-Head slot

We used to be huge fans of this duo and even walked around with homemade Beavis and Butt-Head t-shirts. Yep, it was that bad.

Fortunately, our fanboy behaviour is somewhat tempered by now, but we still love this Blueprint release.

A few points of criticism:

The slot is pretty dull in between the bonus features. Short clips from the series and fun soundbites would have worked wonders here.

The payout rate of 95.49% is at least 0.5% too low.

This slot will please the many fans of this legendary MTV show, but we feel more could have been done with the theme.

3.7 out of 5 stars.
