It’s a dog’s life…eating, sleeping, running around and not really having any responsibilities. Wouldn’t we all just love to experience such in our adult lives? Well, while it’s not really possible, Barkin’ Mad from Barcrest will give you a little bit of an insight into that kind of life. The game contains some wonderful graphics, giving a 3D look to the icons and interface. There’s also a comical sounding piece of music existing within the game as well. So, every time you spin its reels, you’ll be expecting something insane or quirky to happen. It may even make you barkin’ mad when you play it – but in the nicest possible way, of course! So, let’s see what kind of game you’ll be playing, shall we?

As far as the overall layout of this game goes, it provides a very standard video slot layout. This consists of five reels and three rows in total. And alongside this, the developer has made sure to add a total of 10 different pay lines to it. Customisations of these lines is not something that you’re able to do. However, all players have the option of changing their wager by using the relevant plus and minus buttons. Doing so will allow you to switch from its minimum level of $0.01 per line up to a maximum of $40. This means that an overall maximum bet of $400 per spin is possible. You’ll also notice that the bottom of the reels contain an additional button. This is the ‘Big Bet’ button, but we’ll get to that one a little bit later.

When you load up the game, you’ll find intriguing visuals. This relates very nicely to its overall design and its various symbols. In the background of the game, you’ll find lush, green grass and a dog kennel. The icons in the game exist in the form of the regularly seen A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 to begin with. However, following on from this, you’ll find the remaining icons are very canine indeed. There are two small dogs who have found their way into the backyard and are looking for some food. The third picture icon is that of a smiling, white dog. This can provide up to 300 times your wager. Finally, the bulldog clutching on to a bone provides the game with its final icon. This one is able to give you the maximum pay out of 500 times the bet you have in play.

While this game has superior graphics and gameplay in comparison to a lot of others, what about its specialities? Does it include anything ultra special? Well, to start off with, there’s the addition of a wild icon. This one will stand in for all other icons on the reels in order to form a winning combination. The only exception to this rule is the game’s scatter symbol. One additional perk to the wild icon is that is may hold in place over to the next spin. This is only true if there aren’t any wins formed in the first instance.

As we said, there’s the addition of a scatter symbol in this game. This exists in the form of the game’s own logo. As a scatter icon, it will provide a pay out wherever it shows up on the reels. Not only that, but if you bring three or more of them into view in any location, the Barkin’ Mad Free Spins round begins. You’ll receive a minimum of 10 freespins. However, during this round, if a scatter icon comes into view, it will reward you with two additional freespins. And further to this, any wild icon which appears during this round will lock in place. These will then stay in place for the entirety of the freespins round.

You’ll also find that the game contains a Wild Dog Multiplier Bonus. This can randomly trigger after any losing spin. If it does come into play, one of the symbols on the reels will turn into a wild. Not only that, but it will then reveal a multiplier value. This is then applied to all win lines which include that symbol.

Now, as we also said earlier on, players have the option of using the ‘Big Bet’ button. This one allows you to play a set of five linked spins for any chosen stake. The game also includes a Showtime Bonus, which is only available in the Big Bet game. If this randomly triggers, you’ll see a red badge with multiple different rewards on it. These exist in either multiplier values or freespin prizes.

Finally, the last bonus feature is the Barkin’ Mad Bonus. Any stake above $2.00 per line or in Big Bet mode allows you the chance to trigger this. If two or more of the scatter logos come into view, there is a chance that one of the remaining icons will convert into another of the same. This will guarantee you entry into the feature round or will improve an existing feature entry.

Bracken's World is an American drama television series that aired on NBC from September 19, 1969, to December 25, 1970. The series was created and produced by Dorothy Kingsley. The Lettermen performed the second-season theme song, 'Worlds'.

Synopsis[edit]

The series centers on a powerful head of Century Studios and a group of up-and-coming starlets.^[1] During the first season, Eleanor Parker received top billing as Sylvia Caldwell, executive secretary to John Bracken (voice-acted in the first season by Warren Stevens), who was sometimes heard, but never seen.^[2] Parker left the series after the first 16 episodes, citing the limited nature of her role. When the second season began, Leslie Nielsen joined the cast to portray Bracken.

Other cast members included Elizabeth Allen, Dennis Cole, Jeanne Cooper, Peter Haskell, Linda Harrison, Karen Jensen, Madlyn Rhue, and Laraine Stephens. Guest stars who appeared in various episodes of Bracken's World included Jack Albertson, Anne Baxter, Joseph Campanella, Gary Collins, Shelley Fabares, Sally Field, Lee Grant, Arthur Hill. Carolyn Jones, Lee Majors, Monte Markham, Tim Matheson. Darren McGavin, Ricardo Montalban, Lois Nettleton, Lane Bradbury, Stuart Whitman, Larry Pennell, Edward G. Robinson, Martin Sheen, Barry Sullivan, Richard Thomas, Forrest Tucker, and Raquel Welch, who appeared as herself in the pilot episode.

Bracken's World aired on Friday at 10:00 pm, a day and time known as the 'Friday night death slot', and was cancelled 15 episodes into its second season. 'Had they done it like a continuing drama and focused on the regular characters', co-star Linda Harrison said in a 2001 interview, 'it would have lasted longer. NBC, however, wanted a one-hour contained show, so they would stock each episode with a big guest star. After a while, you run out of story.'^[3]Bracken's World's last episode aired Friday, 25 December 1970.
