Pick Penny Pelican for a bird and ocean theme on a 5x3 grid. The grid shows fish, crabs, treasure chests, seashells, starfish, anchors and the A, K, Q and J playing cards. Its 20 fixed paylines pay when three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel of an active payline.
Choose Penny Pelican for its bonus features. Three Bonus or Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 start Free Spins, and a Wheel of Fortune then awards 9 to 18 spins. Wilds on reels 2 to 4 turn sticky for the rest of the round and keep their x2 or x3 multiplier. Buy Bonus unlocks Free Spins for 75 times the total bet.
Decide your stake first: Buy Bonus costs 75 times the total bet, and the price at the top example bet sits in the table.

Waiting for three scatters
Bizzo Casino lists the bonus rules here so you know them before the first spin.

Every spin starts on a 5x3 fixed grid with 20 fixed paylines. Symbols pay left to right on consecutive reels of an active payline. Wild on reels 2-4 only carries a random x2/x3 multiplier, summed when several Wilds win the same line.
Choosing a betWins on paylines
Penny Pelican sequence
It settles how one round runs, from the bet you pick to the result on screen.
Choose a bet from A$0.20 up to A$50. The paytable uses A$0.40, and the grid always plays all 20 fixed paylines.
Look for matching symbols that pay left to right on consecutive reels of an active payline. Three is the fewest that pays, so a line needs three matches in a row.
Watch the wilds on reels 2 to 4, each carrying a random x2 or x3 multiplier. When several wilds win the same line, their multipliers add up.
Land three Bonus or Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 to start Free Spins. A Wheel of Fortune then awards 9 to 18 spins at the same bet.
Set your limit before the first spin. No one can know how a session will end, so call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 if play gets hard.

Bizzo shows each screen as the game draws it, so the layout is clear before you bet.
Choosing a bet means accepting a result you cannot foresee. How often the Free Spins round arrives is not known in advance, and neither is the result of one session. Each spin is random, so the RTP describes the return over a very long run. It does not promise what a single session returns.
Deciding how much weight to give an RTP starts with knowing which version runs. Which of the two RTP versions runs here is shown only in the game rules, so read that section before your first bet.
Aiming for the top prize means planning around a ceiling that very few sessions reach. The top prize of Penny Pelican is a fixed multiple of the bet, and it marks a limit, not an expectation. Very high volatility makes large results rare and uneven, so no session can be planned around them.

Know the payout
After this, you will know the RTP, max win, bets and free spin trigger before you spin.
Penny Pelican has two RTP versions, 95.94 and 95.98. RTP is the expected return per A$100 staked over time, so the higher version returns slightly more on average. Short sessions can still end far above or below that figure.
The maximum win is x3,525 times the bet. At the top bet of A$50 that is A$176,250, and at A$2 it is A$7,050. Whether a session reaches it cannot be known in advance.
Penny Pelican can be checked at the lowest stake of A$0.20 before a larger bet. The paytable shows payouts at A$0.40, and the grid stays 5x3 with 20 fixed paylines.
Three Bonus or Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 start the free spins. A Wheel of Fortune then awards 9 to 18 spins. During the free spins, Wilds on reels 2 to 4 become sticky for the rest of the round. Free spins cannot be retriggered.
The A$0.20 minimum and A$50 maximum are the limits for this slot. The A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$2 bets on this page are examples, not limits. Pick a bet between those two limits that fits your budget.
This slot carries very high volatility. Wins are less frequent and can be far larger than the bet, so balance swings widely within one session. How often the bonus appears cannot be known in advance.
Penny Pelican is for players aged 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register for self-exclusion with BetStop.

Choose your stopping point before you play, and keep to it even after a win, because a big win does not change the plan.

If Penny Pelican stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude with BetStop, and do not chase losses with a larger bet.
