Oops, they did it again! That’s right, online casino game provider **Shady Lady** has created yet another hit game that people have been raving about and we’re going to do our best to tell you why. However, be sure to try a few spins on the demo above because nothing beats playing this game firsthand to get a feel for everything that it has to offer.
**Game Introduction**
Officially titled **Oops**, this is **Shady Lady’s** third slot release, following the release of their debut title [**Devil’s Finger**](https://slotslaunch.com/shady-lady/devils-finger) and the subsequent release of their acclaimed [**Brainwashed**](https://slotslaunch.com/shady-lady/brainwashed) slot. All three games feature several of **Shady Lady’s** trademark characteristics, but **Oops** has plenty of unique characteristics of its own that you’re sure to love.
Set in a mysterious government laboratory somewhere, likely in a deep dark basement, **Oops** is a 6-reel slot with 4-rows per reel. At its core, this game tells the story of how things can go terribly wrong when laboratory experiments are left to those who are careless at best. And when things inevitably do go wrong, this game also depicts how things can spiral out of control quickly when the people in charge are people who really shouldn’t be in charge of anything at all.
**Paying Symbols**
Boasting a total of **4,096 ways to win** in the base game, which can expand to an impressive **262,144 ways to win** in the bonus round, **Oops** is certainly considered to be a very modern slot in this regard. The paying symbols present on the reels include four questionable scientists and a variety of accessories such as a syringe, underwear (yes - underwear!), a sandwich, a glove, and even some footwear to boot (pun intended of course)! Payouts for these symbols range anywhere from 0.1x your bet for landing 3 of the game’s lowest-paying symbols up to 3.x you bet for landing 6 of the game’s highest-paying symbols.
**By The Numbers**
**Oops** has a default RTP of 96.28%, which is quite impressive for a slot of this stature. It’s a highly volatile game (rated 10 of 10 by Shady Lady themselves) with a maximum win amount of a whopping 20,000x your bet. Bet sizes on **Oops** range from as little as 0.10 per spin all the way up to 50.00 per spin, which means that you have a chance to win an impressive amount of money regardless of your bet when factoring in the game’s **20,000x max win amount**.
**Flu-like Features**
While playing **Oops**, there are 3 **flu-like features** available in the base game that can trigger randomly on any spin, which are as follows:
-Fever: A random number of reels will be filled with mystery reveal symbols.
-Cough: A random number of spots on the reel grid will be filled with mystery reveal symbols.
-Congestion: A cluster of mystery reveal symbols will be randomly added to the reel grid.
When any of the flu-like features are triggered, all mystery reveal symbols will transform into the same paying symbol on the reels.
**Free Spins Bonus Round**
In order to trigger the free spins bonus round while playing **Oops**, you’ll need to land 3 or more rat symbols anywhere on the reels, which triggers the **Pandemic free spins**. During the bonus round, Virus symbols can appear on the reels, which have the ability to split or spread to cover multiple positions. When this happens, all Virus symbols transform into the same paying symbol. The degree to which the Virus symbols split or spread is dependent on their **mutation level** (there are a total of 5 mutation levels). In order to increase their mutation level, you must collect 3 mutation symbols, which also awards **3 additional free spins**.
**The Store**
As has become customary for all of **Shady Lady’s** slots, **Oops** is equipped with a feature known as “The Store” that allows you to purchase a variety of features for your playing pleasure. For starters, you can purchase bonus boosters for an increased chance of triggering the bonus round or you can enter the bonus round straight away by purchasing a bonus buy. The costs associated with these options are 1.5x bet for a bonus boost, 5x your bet for a big bonus boost, or 89x your bet for a bonus buy.
Next up are the **highlight reels**, which allow you to buy a batch of spins all at once, where you’ll get to keep the 3 highest-paying results from all the spins. For a cost of 75x your bet, you’ll get to keep the 3-highest results from a batch of 100 spins. For a cost of 190x your bet, you can keep the 3-highest results from a batch of 300 spins. And for a cost of 292x your bet, you can keep the 3-highest results from a batch of 500 spins.
Finally, we have the **loot boxes**, which give you a chance to trigger 1 of 9 enhanced bonuses that range from bronze to silver to gold. What’s great about the loot boxes is that even if you strike out, the average enhanced bonus outperforms the average regular bonus so in a way it’s a win-win situation regardless.
**Before You Go**
If we had to pick just one word to summarize **Oops**, that word would be quirky for sure. And the quirkiness of this game actually begins before you even spin the reels. Case in point, the notecard in the background with a “your mom doesn’t work here…” message! Not to mention the “days since last incident” counter that increases when you spin the reels.
Although **Oops** is just the third slot released by **Shady Lady**, it’s evident that they plan to do things a little differently than other game providers, which they should definitely be applauded for. With so many different casino games to choose from these days, it’s refreshing to see a provider putting players first by creating games that are not only a lot of fun to play, but that have the potential to be incredibly lucrative at the same time. And that’s exactly what **Oops** is all about; it’s a ton of fun to play and you can score some impressive wins in the process. If you have yet to do so, remember to give the demo of this game a try at the top of this page to see for yourself what it’s all about.
