THE SMASHING
BISCUIT
DEVELOPED IN ASSOCIATION WITH RNG FOUNDRY
Electrifying gameplay, a riotous soundtrack and the
cherry on the cake, a kooky trio of sibling rockers,
all make PearFiction Studios’ punk-themed slot
a headline act
In brief, how would you
describe The Smashing
Biscuit to our readers?
It’s a story-driven game
set to a killer punk rock
soundtrack. In a market where
fantasy dominates, the tale of the
Biscuit brothers competing against the
odds to win a local battle of the bands
will resonate, whether you’re a fan of
punk rock or just appreciate a classic
underdog story.

How does the gameplay work,
and which unique features
and mechanics set The Smashing
Biscuit apart from other slot titles
in the market?
Q
The core gameplay in The Smashing
Biscuit is built around the multiplier
meter, which rises and falls as the
brothers – Soggy, Crunchy and Tiny –
rehearse for the upcoming competition
in their garage. Designed to look like
an amplifier, the meter starts at zero but
increases by one with every winning
line, and falls by one for every spin
without a win. And unlike most amps,
this one goes up to 11!

Then we have the
randomised ‘dad bonus’. Trying
to close the garage door and
muffle the music, Mr Biscuit can crank
up the multiplier dial by up to seven
levels, award an instant win, or help
trigger the Battle of the Bands free
spins mode.
The Smashing Biscuit also has a
dedicated four by three playing grid and
a setlist of special symbols reserved
for free spins. When any Biscuit brother
forms part of a winning line, they
become and remain wild for the rest of
the free spins round. If all three brothers
transform at once, the crowd
goes wild and the tempo starts
to mount up. Players will also
regularly retrigger free spins by finding
extra scatter symbols, creating seriously
extended encores.
Across which markets and platforms
is the slot available?
The game will go live in February,
using Quickfire to reach every
Microgaming operator and their
players. Like all PearFiction Studios
games, The Smashing Biscuit was
designed to support the broadest
