Funky Buddha Slot Information

The Buddha was a wandering ascetic and religious teacher who founded Buddhism about 500 BC. Since he traveled with barely anything, with the purpose of reaching Nirvana, you might think “funky” in the game’s title has something to do with his smell as a traveler in a warm country. However, funky in this context refers to the music the Buddha performs.

Funky Buddha is a chill game next to an outdoor pool where no one is thinking about tomorrow. To the left of the pool are some speakers and a tile floor, and a red cocktail with a straw stands on a small table to the right. In the distance is a small boat in what looks to be a lake, and the purple reels have lights, speakers, and the logo with the funky Buddha on top. The Buddha is wearing headphones and spinning records with a loungy house sound.

To make a win, you need to land at least 3 of the same type of symbol on any of the 10 paylines, going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and you can access the game on mobile phones, notepads, and desktops.

There are 8 regular-paying symbols in Funky Buddha. The lower-paying ones are J, Q, K, and A. Landing a 5-of-a-kind win with them awards between 5X and 7.5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are pink cocktail, blue sunglasses, headphones, and a golden bottle of sparkling wine. They will award between 10X and 100X for a win containing 5 symbols. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols but not the Scatter, Cash, or Collect Symbols.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a golden turntable. It substitutes all regular-paying symbols in making wins but not the Scatter, Cash, or Collect Symbols.

Cash Collect Feature

Cash Symbols, depicted by golden vinyl records, can appear on reels 1-4 on any spin. They have a value between 1X and 2,000X the bet. The Buddha Collect Symbol can appear on the fifth reel. Whenever it lands, it expands to cover the entire reel and collects all present Cash Symbols.

There are actually 4 different Buddhas, and you start the game with the regular one. Whenever he takes part in a win, you unlock the next character, and he unlocks the next when he takes part in a win, and so on. When all buddhas are unlocked, they can all appear during the base game and Free Spins.

Here are the buddhas’ different abilities:

Respin Buddha = Respins reels 1-4 after all Cash Symbols are collected for a chance to land more Cash Symbols.

Boost Buddha = Awards a cash boost to the total win.

Super Collect = Collects all Cash Symbols up to 10 times.

A 10X win in the Free Spins.

Funky Free Spins

The Scatter Symbol is a picture of people partying among palm trees with a big sun setting over the horizon. It can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. Landing 3 Scatters on the same spin triggers 10 free spins.

Collecting Buddha Collect Symbols awards additional spins and cash collect multipliers. For every third Collect Symbol, you’re awarded 5 extra spins and a multiplier of 2X, 3X, 5X, and 10X.

Funky Buddha Slot Conclusion

Funky Buddha is a good-looking slot where the developers have worked hard on the graphics. However, the mechanics and features are similar to previous titles from Blueprint Gaming. It’s the same setup as in D10S Maradona, where golden footballs with a cash value can turn up on reels 1-4, and the iconic player Diego Armando Maradona collects all the cash values whenever he turns up on the fifth reel. Maradona can turn up in 4 different versions, just like the 4 Buddhas in Funky Buddha. Apart from collecting the value of the Cash Symbols, the Buddhas can trigger a respin, award a cash boost, and collect the golden records up to 10 times.

A similar cash collection feature is popular in fishing games such as Reel Kingdom’s Big Bass Bonanza and Blueprint’s own Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Splash, where a fisherman hauls in cash fish symbols in the Free Spins.

Funky Buddha has a sharper look and more advanced graphics than the other mentioned games, but it’s not enough. We can’t help thinking that the game needs something more. The max win is another thing that’s not totally clear. As with many other games from this developer, it’s stated as 50,000X the bet, but we doubt it’s reachable even in a billion spins. The max value of the Cash Symbols is 2,000X the bet, and filling up the grid with only the highest-paying symbol awards 1,000X the bet.

Funky Buddha from Blueprint Gaming has a golden Buddha collecting Cash Symbols worth up to 2,000X the bet.
