Happy Days is an online video slot based on the 1970’s television sitcom with the same name. The sitcom revolved mainly around Richie Cunningham, his family, and his best friend, Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli. Happy Days was a household name, and is still fondly remembered by many. The show aired for 11 seasons, running from 1974 to 1983.
Classic, highly rated television shows have become favourites in the world of online slots, and Happy Days is no exception in this regard.
Happy Days is played on 5 reels and 20 paylines and features a number of Bonus Games, including the Richie Diner Bonus Game, the Fonzie Free Spins Bonus Game and the Record Breaker Bonus Game.
Happy Days Graphics and Sound Effects
The slot has a very retro feel to it, underscoring the 1950’s theme. The sound effects include a backing track very similar to that of the original television series.
Like slots available on mobile pokies apps, Happy Days can be played for free or for real money.
Happy Days Symbols
Symbols remind strongly of the Happy Days theme, and include a pair of sunglasses, hair gel, a microphone, a gold disc, the Happy Days Logo, as well as a vinyl record. Richie and The Fonz also appear on the reels, as well as a selection of playing card symbols.
The vinyl record is the Happy Days wild symbol. The wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols, in order to complete a winning combination, with the exception of the scatter symbols.
There are 3 scatter symbols – one for each of the 3 bonus games. Scatters include Richie, The Fonz and the gold disc. Landing a combination of 3 or more of a particular scatter symbol anywhere on the reels, will activate the corresponding bonus game.
Fonzie Free Spins Bonus Game
3 or more of The Fonz symbols anywhere the reels will activate the Fonzie Free Spins Bonus Game. The number scatters landed to activate the bonus game will determine the number of free spins awarded. Three scatters will award 15 free spins, four scatters will award 25 free spins, and 5 scatters will award a whopping 50 free spins.
Happy Days Record Breaker Bonus Game
The Record Breaker Bonus Game is activated by landing a combination of 3 or more of the gold discs anywhere on the reels. During this game, the player must proceed up a trail of records. A number of jukeboxes will appear on the right hand side of the screen. Each jukebox conceals the number of steps that the player may advance up the trail of records. Reaching the top of the record trial carries an award of a X500 multiplier.
The Record Breaker Bonus Game ends as soon as a jukebox reveals the word “Collect”.
Richie Diner Bonus Game
Landing 3 or more of Richie’s symbols anywhere on the reels will activate the Richie Diner Bonus Game. Richie appears on screen, seated at a typical 1950’s diner table. The player is prompted to choose a take-away meal from the selection on the table. Each meal conceals a multiplier.
