Blessed Are the Bank Accounts in Preach TV by Shady Lady

Everything is big in America, including the church scams. Corrupt pastors are known for creative interpretations of the holy book, especially if it results in people shovelling money into their shady activities. Like always, Shady Lady shines a satirical spotlight on the whole concept in their latest slot, Preach TV. Are you ready to ring the hotline to heaven and make some bank along the way?

We’ll go over everything you need to know about this game in this in-depth review. Keep reading to find out if this release is right for you.

Preach TV Visuals

As you’d expect from the title, the backdrop is set in the style of a TV set. There’s a pair of chairs for the host and guests, a table, and some over-the-top décor. The background image is rife with scanlines, evoking the feeling of watching the program on an old CRT TV. It’s all by the book, so much so that you might miss the most important detail. Namely, that of a half-bitten apple on the table, hinting at the less-than-holy nature of this whole thing.

Available symbols are split into lower and higher-paying icons. Lower-value symbols include box TV sets, wine bottles with snakes, the holy book of tax evasion, and a donated golden watch. Meanwhile, higher-paying icons are various church-goers with bright smiles and suspiciously vacant stares. The TV station logo is the Scatter and Super Scatter.

Preach TV Gameplay and Features

You play this Shady Lady slot on a 5×4 grid with 1,024 ways to win. Forming wins requires at least three matching symbols in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel.

TV Features

Three TVs sit above the reel and usually show static. Every spin, they have a chance to turn on and activate one of the following bonus rounds:

• Spread the Word – One low-value symbol is selected at random. All icons of that type on the grid turn into the same high-paying symbol.
• Donate Donate Donate – Every high-value icon on the screen awards a random coin win, with higher-paying symbols donating larger amounts.
• Preacher Feature – A stack of Preacher symbols nudges down from the top row. Each nudge triggers the Donate Donate Donate bonus round.

Bonus and Super Bonus

Three Scatters anywhere on the grid activate the Bonus, which awards 6 free spins. While this bonus round is active, the odds of all TV Features activating are greatly increased. If a Preacher Feature is active, you also have a higher chance of benefiting from long nudges.

Meanwhile, three regular Scatters and a golden Scatter trigger the Super Bonus. This feature plays out almost identically to the Bonus, with significantly increased odds of awarding strong TV Features.

The Store

It wouldn’t be a good slot about corrupt mega churches if you couldn’t pay your way into heaven. Shady Lady has a lot of special bets you can purchase, which we’ll outline below:

• Boosters – There are three booster features you can use. They increase your chance to trigger one of the available features while increasing your total bet.
• Bonus Buy – Players can pick one of five bonus buy options, which let them use money to jump straight into the bonus round.
• Highlight Reels – Purchase a batch of spins and watch the three highest-paying ones play out.
• Loot Box – Buying a loot box can reveal one of nine enhanced bonuses, which will outperform their standard counterparts on average.

Preach TV RTP and Payouts

The RTP for the Preach TV slot is 96.20%, which is better than average. The various Store boosters and bonus buy options have different RTPs. The best bang for your buck comes from TV Boost, with its 96.70% RTP.

Unsurprisingly, a game all about scamming the faithful is a high volatility affair. However, if you can pull it off, you can win up to 20,000x your stake.
