Life of Brian Slots

Game Symbols

Fan of the original film should rejoice, as the slot machine adaptation has a wide range of symbols taken directly from the big screen. Most of these are characters played by members of Monty Python, but there are also crucifixions and playing card values to look forward to.

Whenever you get a winning combination that involves one of the characters from the movie, the icon transforms to show a short clip involving that specific character. Each of these are only a couple of seconds long, but that should be more than enough time to bring a smile to the face of any true Monty Python fan.

Bonus Rounds and Features

Most slots only have a few bonus options, but the Life of Brian slot has a total of 10 to enjoy. Some only pay small cash prizes, while others offer free spins, multipliers, or even a progressive jackpot. If you choose to play the game online, here's what you can expect to encounter.

In order to activate this feature, you'll need to get the bonus icon on reels one, three, and five. If you do, you'll be asked to spin a wheel to determine which bonus feature you get to play, as well as a cash prize, multiplier, or mystery prize.

Eight characters are lined up against the wall for a good old-fashioned stoning. Pick multiple characters to pelt with small rocks for mini-prizes, as well one character to receive a bigger rock (which ends the round). If the crowd suspects that any of the participants are actually women in disguise, then you might also get a chance to tug on their beard to see if it's fake (which also awards a cash bonus). If you choose correctly, you can win up to 1000 times your total wager.

After any losing spin, there's a chance that you'll see Brian falling through the reels. When this occurs, he'll be saved by an alien spaceship and converted into a stack of wild symbols. An intergalactic conflict ensues, complete with spinning reels and additional symbols getting turned wild. This madness occurs until you get a win, at which point things calm down considerably.

At any point following a spin or bonus round, the foot of God may come down from the heavens and stomp you. You'll receive a random cash prize when this happens, and you might even win the progressive jackpot.

A mini-bonus that's sometimes available after the foot of God comes down, it asks the player to choose their favorite anti-Roman liberation group. Will you choose the Popular Front of Judea, the Judea People's Front, or the People's Front of Judea?

Another mini-bonus made available following an appearance by the giant sandaled foot of God, this feature asks you to choose from a juniper bush, sandal, or gourd in order to win a special cash prize.

Brian is being interrogated by Pontius Pilate, but the Roman official has a hilarious speech impediment. As Pilate speaks, choose one of the three Roman guards standing in front of him. The longer that can go without bursting into laughter, the more money you'll win. The round ends when all three guards are cackling out loud, and you can win up to 1000 times your total bet.

In order to activate this bonus, you'll need to get the crucifixion symbols on reels three, four, and five. Once the round is activated, you'll be called upon to choose member of the Judean People's Front to carry out a suicide attack. This rewards a number of free spins, and your winning multiplier goes up with every losing spin. You'll also have the opportunity to collect golden scatter symbols during this round, and getting three of them results in the Crucifixion Bonus being unlocked.

Six crucified individuals are displayed on the screen, and each has a prize hidden underneath his suffering body. Pick a character to reveal either cash, free spins, or a retrigger.

Brian is dispatched to place anti-Roman graffiti on the walls of the palace, and you get to choose where he places it. The round ends when the sun comes up, so fling that paint as fast as you can.

This radical group has assembled to overthrow the Romans, but first they're going to list off all the things the occupying force has done for them. Pick icons to reveal innovations such as sanitation and roads, and each of these has a prize amount connected to it. If you reveal a "connect" symbol, then the round is over. You can win up to 1000 times your total bet.
