Basic Instinct Overview

Basic Instinct is a classic slot game from iSoftBet based on the 1992 hit movie featuring Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas. The Basic Instinct slot game was released back in 2013 and has been played consistently by online slot players who enjoy detective movie themes. It’s one of many movie-themed & TV-themed slots in the iSoftBet portfolio, including titles like 24, The Love Guru, and Rambo. The game takes iconic elements from the film and blends them with exciting slot gameplay to create an action-packed online slot that everyone will enjoy playing, whether you like the film or not.

Basic Instinct is played across a 5×3 set of reels with 243 ways to win. You can start betting from just $0.50 per spin up to a maximum of $500 per spin for your chance to win the maximum payout of $1500. The game is bursting with exciting features like free spins, stacked wilds, mystery boxes, and progressive jackpots. Combined, they create lots of ways for you to win life-changing amounts of money

Graphics and Theme

The Basic Instinct slot keeps the same dark, shadowy look and feel that the film had. The black backdrop overlays with Sharon Stone’s face, the San Francisco skyline and Detective Nick’s infamous Spyker C8 Laviolette car. The game logo is the same Basic Instinct logo from the movie, and the symbols include more elements from the film, like the ice pick handcuffs. The reels are bordered with a blue frame and a translucent background. Finally, the game controls are located horizontally across the bottom of your screen, and the progressive jackpot total is located in the top right-hand corner of your screen.

The soundtrack is straight out of a 90’s detective movie and includes a variety of dark and spooky synth noises that builds suspense. The reels rotate with a space-age sound and come to a stop one by one silently. Symbols used in a winning combination will flash, and a classic arcade winning noise will sound from your speakers to let you know that you’ve got some cash coming your way.

The low paying symbols include playing card symbols 10, jack, queen, king and ace. Aces are worth 2000 coins for five of a kind which is multiplied by your coin value. The high paying symbols include Detective nick’s car, handcuffs, a revolver, a detective’s badge, and an ice pick. The ice pick is the most valuable and is the key to the max payout. It will award you with 15000 coins for five of a kind. Finally, a wild symbol can substitute for any regular pay symbol to help create winning combinations.

Three Stacked Wilds

The game’s bonus features are all triggered by the three stacked wild symbols. To trigger the bonus rounds, the stacked wild will have to land in full on one of the reels.

•     Wild drop – this stacked wild can only appear on reels one, three and five. When it lands in full, it will then remain on the reels for the next few spins. It drops down one reel position on the following spins until it is no longer on your screen.
•     Bonus wild – this stacked wild can only appear on reel three. When it lands in full, it will trigger the bonus round, but it will transform into separate wild symbols to help make winning combos when it only partially lands.
•     Free spins wild – the free spins wild can only appear on reel three. When it lands in full, it will award you with 20 – 50 free spins, and when it partially lands, it will turn into regular wild symbols to help make winning combos.

Bonus Round

When the bonus round is triggered, you will be taken to a new screen where 12 mystery boxes will be present. It’s your job to select mystery boxes to reveal random cash prizes that are instantly added to your purse. If you find the gun, you will be awarded the progressive jackpot prize. However, if you find the handcuff symbol, the bonus round ends, and you will be taken back to the main game screen.  

Basic Instinct How to Play

Basic Instinct is played across a 5×3 set of reels with 243 ways to win. The game pays out when you land three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. You can place bets from as little as $0.50 per spin or as much as $500 per spin if your nerve cans take it. The game also has an auto spin feature which can play up to 1000 spins for you, and you can set loss and win limits to stay in control even when on autopilot. The base game can provide nice payouts, but most of the action happens when you trigger one of the three bonus features by landing the stacked wild across all three positions on one of the reels. The maximum payout in the base game can be won by landing five ice pick symbols, and the progressive jackpot is won by selecting the gun from one of the mystery boxes in the bonus round.
