I used to love going to the arcades growing up. There’s just something about it and the feeling is completely different than playing PS5 at home or whatever the kids are doing these days. Even the loud and annoying sounds from the pinball machines help create the atmosphere that might soon be forgotten.
Brand New Release
It’s not often we get to see a casino game that brings back memories like that but BigTimeGaming might have just pulled it off. The recently released Trigger Happy will take you right back to the fairs or amusement parks where we are used to finding them.
Sporting a 50,000x max multiplier, Reel Modifiers, Free Spins, Bonus Buy and Win Exchange, it’s time to find out if Trigger Happy is worth your time?
Welcome to Trigger Happy
Looking for the Claw to Grab a Stuffed Animal
At first glance, it looks a bit like one of those games where you try and line up the claw and pick up a stuffed animal, don’t you think? The surroundings are obviously very fitting and you can see other games in the background.
What I like about Trigger Happy, besides the name, is the look of it. It’s truly a breath of fresh air and something different to look at. BTG has used an interesting mix of stuffed animals (symbols). Everyone from the cyclopes to the scared cat, to the devil and the horned rainbow animal, they’re all trying to have a good time.
With coins, multipliers and rainbow bombs circling around like sharks, it adds excitement to every single spin. That part might not make sense right now but it will when you play.

Winning symbols will be removed
Cluster Pays
Trigger Happy uses the Cluster Pays feature. Your job is of course to create winning clusters of at least 5 symbols. Any symbol involved in a win will then explode and vanish from the screen in order to give room for new symbols.
Boom – new symbols on their way
Each win will give you a respin and with the new symbols in play, you can get another win. If that’s the case, the Cluster Pays reaction will repeat itself once again. This will continue until you sooner or later run out of luck.
Take aim
Aim High and Pull the Trigger
On every single spin, you will see a target trying to pick a symbol. The point of it is that whatever random position it lands on will get a Wild (the crazy rainbow looking symbol).
More rainbow Wilds to the people
The more Wilds you can have at the same time will of course increase your chances of winning.
Fill up the Bonus Panels
How to Maximize the Bonus Panel
Remember how I mentioned bonus symbols circling like sharks? Well, that’s all because of the Bonus Panels. There are two of them involved, one on the left and one below the reels.
On every spin and every reaction, you can see symbols moving across the panels. The added Wild symbol will shoot out a laser beam to the left and down and if any bonus symbol ends up in the line of fire, you can enjoy the following benefits:
X2 + x2 = x4
- Multipliers – You can score 1 or even 2 multipliers on the same spin. If there is more than 1, the total value will be added up and applied to the Wild at that position.
Get ready for the Bomb to wipe out an entire row or column
- Rainbow Bomb – If you get the Bomb, it will wipe out an entire row or column for you. It will also add up to 4 Wilds on that row.
You’ll need 2 Trigger Coins for Free Spins
- Free Spins – The way to 8 Free Spins is by getting a Trigger Coin on both Bonus Panels.
Trigger Happy Bonus Buy
Use the Bonus Buy
It seemed impossible to trigger Free Spins through the Bonus Panels so against my will, I had to turn to the Bonus Buy. You can get 8 Free Spins that way but you should know that the asking price is 100x your stake, which feels a bit steep.
8 Free Spins on the way
Bonus Round Here I Come
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Bonus Round and how it would be different from the base game but it ended up being a positive surprise. During your Free Spins, there are TWO targets on each spin instead of one.
The Bonus Round is filled with action
Obviously this will give your odds of winning a very nice boost and the wins should be bigger as well. I had a few lucky ones and the whole Bonus Round experience turned out to be a great one.
Trigger Happy Mega Win
I managed to score a bunch of different combinations on the Bonus Panel which in the end really paid off. The fact that I won €40 on a €0.20 spin is pretty damn nice! However, since I had to use the Bonus Buy to get there, that alone cost me €20. In other words the Mega Win didn’t end up being as great as I first thought, but still.
Win Exchange – Great But Where Are You?
I didn’t see this myself, but according to the game there’s a feature called Win Exchange. Apparently, whenever you win between 25x-100x your stake, you have the option to exchange the win for a spin on a wheel and a shot at 8 Free Spins.
This sounds like something I would enjoy but yeah, I didn’t see it. It’s possible it could be a geo location thing.
You should try Trigger Happy
Trigger Happy – Pass or Play?
There’s no question this is a game you need to play. With a name like Trigger Happy, it comes with some expectations, and the truth is that once you’ve started playing, you’ll want to keep going.
I find the whole setup different and exciting and I believe that the Bonus Panel is what makes this game as good as it is. Every single spin has something extra or at least the chance of adding something extra other than just the symbols.
Play the game and enjoy being back at the arcades. You won’t regret it!
