How To Play Freaky Friday Fixed Symbols Mobile Slot
The Freaky Friday Fixed Symbols slot gives you 5×4 reels with 20 paylines, where a mad scientist dares you to pay a little extra to hit the top win in the free spins bonus.
Instead of the usual ancient Egyptian slot theme that many other slots with expanding scatter pay like to favour, this slot game takes you into the lab of a doctor who you shouldn’t trust with your brain, or it might end up in a jar.
You get ten paying symbols in total, the scientist, the helmet, the mask, the brain, and the pills – all these pay even on a 2-of-a-kind win, which becomes relevant later on. You then get Ace to 10, completing the lower end of the paytable.
The Freaky Friday Fixed Symbols slot is a volatile StakeLogic casino game with an overall win cap of 10,000x your bet and a high RTP of 96.47%. Twice as much as the Book of Dead slot or the Book of Ra Deluxe 6 game. Much like both these video slots, you have to hit the free spins, and the expanding scatter pays to get anywhere near these amounts.
To help you along the way, you’ve got the super stake button, which adds the Fixed Symbol reels onto the free spins, increasing your chance of catching even more expanding scatter – but at a high price.
A Book of slot but with a little extra
Usually, when a ‘Book of’ copy tries to do something slightly different, we like it. It’s nice to get a fresh twist on classic game mechanics.
And at heart, this keeps everything you love about the Book of slots. You have a wild symbol that also acts as a scatter. If you find 3 or more anywhere on the reels, you’ll trigger 10 free spins where one symbol will act as an expanding scatter symbol.
An expanding scatter pay is a symbol that will expand and pay on all 20 paylines regardless of which reels it lands. This expansion is why getting two symbol wins helps top up your wallet as you play and why it’s worth catching the higher paid symbols rather than lower paid ones.
Better yet, if you turn on the Super Stake button (and double your bet), you can also trigger Fixed symbol reels via a golden wild. A very different bonus from the Book of Adventure Super Stake slot, despite the name.
What is a Fixed Symbol reel, and is it worth it?
When you catch a fixed symbol reel, it stays there to the end of the free spins. The reason why it’s worth paying extra in this Freaky Friday Fixed Symbols slot game is because this reel will give you expanding scatter pays even if one of your expanding scatter pay symbols doesn’t land on the reels.
So if you have just one golden reel, it’s a nice bonus, but you don’t feel the effects as much as you might like. If you catch 2 or 3 fixed golden reels, then just one expanding scatter pay anywhere on the reels will give you 2, 3, or 4 expanding scatter pay symbols each time.
The problem is that catching more than one is very difficult, and paying double your bet is a steep price to pay, especially as the top win in a single spin is only 2,500x your bet.
The problems with the Freaky Friday Fixed Symbols slot
Why we can’t give this Freaky Friday Fixed Symbols slot more than a 3-star review is twofold.
First, it’s asking a lot to pay twice your bet for a more volatile feature than the game. Sometimes you might not even get one wild reel till almost the end of the bonus.
Secondly, even though the max win looks like more, as it has a top win of 10,000x your bet, that is actually the capped top win. You would need to catch the high-paying symbols on all five reels four spins in a row to get there.
The Book of Oasis slot or Ghost of Dead game both can pay 5,000x your bet EACH free spin. No cap. So you can win more, and you don’t have to pay double your bet to get there.
It is not a bad real money slot machine, but it just asks a lot of us without giving enough back for us to say that it’s a must-play. Still, with a good RTP and some decent features, this still has the wins to make it worth it for any fans of the genre looking for a fresh new slot theme and twist.

Freaky Friday Fixed Symbols Bonus Features
Wild Scatter Symbols: The bloody book is the wild and the scatter symbol. This symbol can be used to replace other symbols on the reels, but 3 or more pay out and trigger the free spins.
- 3 scatters - 2x your bet
- 4 scatters - 20x your bet
- 5 scatters - 200x your bet
Free Spins Bonus Game: 3 or more scatters will trigger 10 free spins. Before you start your bonus game, one special expanding bonus symbol is chosen at random to become an expanding scatter pay. All the high-paying symbols have a value on two symbol wins.
That special symbol now expands vertically to cover the reel and pay regardless of where it is on the reels. The free spins bonus game can be retriggered to catch an extra 10 free spins.
Super Stake: If you activate the Super Stake button in the base game, you'll double your bet. But it also means that you'll get fixed symbols feature in the free spins.
When the Golden Wild Scatter symbol lands on a reel, that reel becomes a fixed symbol reel. This fixed symbol reel will always cause the expanding symbol to expand on it if a win can occur, even if the expanding scatter symbol doesn't land on that reel. Once activated, it remains active until the end of the free spins.
