Office Party Slot Review
Baxter & Carlson Stationaries has made significant progress throughout the year, excelling in sales and making a great deal of profit. To celebrate the company’s success, Shady Lady is throwing one hell of an Office Party, where colleagues can get smashed, play a few x-rated games, and party hard.
The topic of stationery is well and truly off the table in Shady Lady’s 4th instalment, following Devil’s Finger, Brainwashed, and Oops, which reveals what goes on behind the closed doors of this particular office party. Be on the lookout for Splashin’, Smashin’, and Flashin’ Wilds, as well as Weapon Lockers used to beat the living daylights out of the hanging Pinata.
Office Party Base Game & Features
Office Party is a highly volatile 5-reel, 4-row Video Slot with 3,125 ways to win and many alternative bet sizes between £.€0.10 and £.€100 per spin. Other noteworthy statistics include an overall RTP of 96.28% and a generous max win cap of 20,000x your bet.
Wins are calculated when 3-5 identical symbols land from left to right, starting from reel 1. This game includes 4 High-paying and 4 Low-paying symbols, each consisting of payouts between 0.1x and 2x your bet. In addition, Splashin’, Smashin’, and Flashin’ Wilds substitute for all paytable symbols.
Winning symbols are removed and replaced with new symbols from above, via a Cascading Reels Feature. This enables additional wins to be enhanced or created within a single spin.
Wild Features
Office Party has 3 individual Wild Features available in the base game, these include:
- Splashin’ Wilds: Reels 2-4 can randomly contain stacks of Splashin’ Wilds. If the right part of the stack creates a win, more Wild symbols can be expected in the same spin.
- Smashin’ Wilds: This wild feature triggers in the base game, during or after the initial spin or cascade. Between 1 and 4 Beer Bottles are thrown onto random reel positions, and run down to cover all positions below it with Wilds.
- Flashin’ Wilds: This feature is another to trigger in the base game, during or after the initial spin or following cascade. Up to 4 ‘streakers’ will zoom past the reel set, leaving behind 1-4 Wilds on random reel positions.
Weapon Lockers & The Pinata
During gameplay, if a Locker symbol falls onto the reels, it will award 1 Hit at the Pinata with a random Weapon. Each hit creates an opportunity to knock the Pinata’s head off, triggering the Severance Bonus. Please note that multiple Locker symbols can land during a single spin.
Boosters & Bonus Buy
- Gimp Mode: Located in the top left corner of the main reel set is the Gimp Mode function. Enabling this feature halves the probability of knocking the head off the Pinata, but it awards a x2 Multiplier to all Weapons during the Severance Bonus (no additional cost)
- Severance Bonus: Direct access to the Severance Bonus (80x your bet)
- Highlight Reels: Purchase a batch of spins and receive the 3 highest-paying outcomes (60x, 162x, and 236x your bet)
- Loot Boxes: Choose between Bronze, Silver, and Gold Loot Boxes for a chance at 1 of 9 Enhanced Bonuses (156x, 276x, and 425x your bet)
Office Party Slot – Severance Bonus
When the Pinata’s head is knocked off, the Severance Bonus is awarded, consisting of 4 Levels. At level 1, 4 Weapon types are available: Laptop, Trash Can, Office Chair, and Printer, each with an assigned Multiplier.
In this round, only Coin Jars and Weapon Lockers drop onto the reels. If a weapon locker stacks on top of a Coin Jar, it crushes them and collects their respective values. After collection, the total value is multiplied by the Weapon’s Multiplier (displayed above the main reel set).
Regardless of whether it crushes a jar or not, all Weapon Locker symbols that reach the bottom award two things: Firstly, it delivers a hit to the Manager, and secondly, it upgrades the current Multiplier of all higher-class weapons. Each hit to the Manager leads to a chance of him being knocked down. If this happens, the Bonus progresses to the next level.
With each level upgrade, the lowest-class weapon is removed and will no longer appear in Locker symbols. If a column is entirely filled with Coin Jars, no more symbols will land on that reel. The Severance Bonus continues until the entire grid is filled with Coin Jars and no more symbols can fall in.
Our Honest Verdict
For a while, Nolimit City were the only ones truly leaning into hedonism and depravity, pushing the boundaries with unapologetically dark slots. But now, Shady Lady seems to be moving in for their slice of the pie, bringing about their own brand of menace. There’s still ample mystery surrounding Shady Lady, who released Devil’s Finger out of the blue, and continues to impress with the likes of Brainwashed, Oops, and of course, the subject in question, Office Party.
Office Party is brilliantly hilarious. The bonus game aims to collect your severance from your greedy boss, beat him up in the process, and keep the jars as low on the screen as possible so as to keep the game going for as long as possible. It’s almost like a twisted game of Tetris.
The base game and its features are great too, with three wild modifiers to keep things both fresh and capable.
If we were to critique anything, it would probably be the Loot Box system. It’s not abundantly clear from the card you draw what’s good or what isn’t. It’s got the same cards as those seen in the likes of Oops, and we think some clarity or personalisation by game would make it clearer how valuable this option is.
Overall, we think Office Party is an excellent offering. It’s not quite as good as previous titles, but for a new developer, it’s still leaps and bounds above some of the generic stuff put out by both new developers and even lazy, complacent, established ones.
Shady Lady’s current trajectory looks to be straight up. They’ve a bright future, perhaps one that puts them as an industry-leading studio.
