Theme and history of the Calabash Boys

It was a very popular series, although there were only 13 episodes aired in 1986 and 1987. It was based on the legendary story of seven different gourds that grew into men to help rid them of the evil spirits of snakes and scorpions. The boys each have superpowers like invisibility, pyrokinesis, and superpower.

Calabash Boys Bonus Features

Calabash Boys slot has some interesting bonus features. Let’s see what they contain:

Scatter symbols
The Calabash Boys symbol is the game’s scatter symbol. You will get seven free spins if you land at least three of them. Unfortunately, this bonus cannot be re-triggered by further scatter during the game, but there are some additional improvements to this feature when you trigger it. During each of the bonus games, only non-paying gourd fruit symbols and one of the seven Calabash Boys symbols will appear on the grid. The chosen child will also be represented by an expanded symbol on the middle reel. Any win will also be boosted by adding a randomly chosen multiplier between 1x and 7x.

wild symbols
There are two wild symbols in the game, one with a colored mountain and the other with two mountains. Both can substitute for other symbols to help generate a win, but a single mountain counts as a substitute symbol and a double wild mountain counts as two. Single mountains appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, while double mountains appear on reels 2 and 4. There are also prizes for matching wilds. The maximum prizes offered range from 125.00 for three to 3000.00 for seven.
