Badge Blitz Slot Review
Outlaws have escaped and are on the run from the Sheriff in Pragmatic Play’s latest release, Badge Blitz!
Taking us back into the dusty Wild West for some good ol’ fashioned gunslingin’, Badge Blitz hosts a Money Respin feature, where up to 5 Jackpot Prizes can be won. In Free Spins, players can familiarise themselves with Expanding Wilds and Double Scatters.
Deadwood RIP and Tombstone from Nolimit City are 2 of the best Wild West slots on the market, but where will Badge Blitz rank? Let’s play on and find out!
Badge Blitz – Base Game
Base Game & Features
Badge Blitz is a 5-reel, 3-row Video Slot with 25 fixed pay lines, and playable from £.€0.25 per spin, up to a maximum bet size of £.€250 per spin.
Badge Blitz is a highly volatile slot featuring several RTP variants; 96.5%, 95.48%, and 94.49%. Other statistics include a max win potential of 3,000x your bet.
Win lines begin from the leftmost reel, creating wins when 5 identical symbols land on the same pay line. Paytable symbols are comprised of 5 High-paying and 4 Low-paying. A line of 5 High-paying symbols pays 8x your bet. Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, substituting for all symbols except Scatters, Badges, and Coins.
Money Respin Feature
The Money Respin feature is activated when 6 or more Badge symbols land in the base game.
At the start of the feature, each triggering Badge symbol transforms into a Sticky Coin symbol with a value between 0.8x and 16x your bet. In addition, Coin symbols may reveal 4/5 Jackpot Prizes.
- Mini: 10x your bet
- Minor: 50x your bet
- Major: 100x your bet
- Mega: 250x your bet
During this round, only Badge symbols and Blanks appear on the grid. The round begins with 3 Respins, and for every Badge symbol that hits restores the Respins Counter to 3.
The Money Respin feature ends when you have run out of Respins or all 15 positions are filled. Filling the entire grid awards the Grand Jackpot worth 1,000x your bet.
Badge Blitz – Money Respin Feature
Bonus Buy
Purchase the Money Respin Feature for an additional 100x your bet. Once purchased, 6 or more Badge symbols will land within the next spin.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or 4 Scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the base game rewards 5 and 8 Free Spins respectively. Scatters that appear on reel 4 may land as a Double Scatter, acting as 2.
During this round, at least 2 Expanded Wild symbols will land per spin. In addition, the Money Respin Feature can be triggered during Free Spins. This feature is played out before the Free Spins round ends.

Our Verdict
Pragmatic Play churns out new releases quicker than any other Provider, but in certain cases, that’s not always a good thing. Quick releases don’t always lead to success, often coming across as rushed in comparison.
Badge Blitz is another of Pragmatic Play’s titles to take us back into the Wild West, a theme, it seems, that has become a crutch when short on new ideas.
Along with a recycled theme, Badge Blitz also facilitates a glorified Hold & Win round. The addition of Jackpot Prizes is promising, yet the overall functionality and performance of the Money Respin Feature is pretty standard. However, this feature has a higher appeal than Free Spins, so if you’re looking to win anything substantial, the Money Respin Feature is where you need to be.
Badge Blitz loses more of its appeal for its sub-par max win cap of 3,000x your bet. We’ve been known to grumble at 5,000x max wins in Pragmatic Play titles, but that’s a figure we’d appreciate right now.
