Cuckoo pokie
The well known in Russia and abroad, the porcelain and ceramic painting technique, Gzhel, became the main theme of Cuckoo pokie. Endorphina company placed beautiful porcelain eggs on 5 reels, which give out winning on 10 pay lines. All symbols by including playing cards are drawn as stylishly as possible, and moreover, they perfectly fit into the theme of the pokie. By the way, even different symbols can bring rewards in this pokie. Also, the developer took care of large payments.

Review and recommendations from the testers team
Cuckoo pokie has quite familiar graphics from Endorphina, and a very high-quality sound, in my opinion. Despite the quite standard gameplay in the main game, the pokie has a quite interesting bonus game feature. This pokie stands out with extremely high variance and quite peculiar "return".
- In the main game, the pokie makes quite a long series of spins without winning combinations, and only periodically gives out winnings in the amount of 0.5 - 10 bets. Despite the potential of the pokie to give out a winning combination worth 100x-250x or even 500x bets in the main game, the pokie practically does not realize it, and rarely gives out winnings of 20x-50x bets. During testing, with thousands of spins, only once was it possible to get a combination worth 250x bets.
- The pokie usually issues bonus games in several series, with an interval of a small number of spins, and a very long wait between series, which can sometimes exceed several hundred spins.
- During the bonus game, the punter is given the choice of a potential win, by setting the arrow on the clock. The minimum value that you can choose is 10x bets, the maximum - 2400x bets. Accordingly, either you win everything or nothing, i.e. 0, since this pokie does not an issue of any medium or small, but almost guaranteed winnings, like during free spins. This is one of the most difficult pokies to analyze, and it is practically impossible to predict the possible result on it, unlike in many other pokies. During testing in different gaming sessions, the pokie behaved completely differently and unpredictably. In one of the game sessions, we managed to get more than 15 bonus games, in which we set the maximum value of winning at 300x bets, the average at 100x-150x bets, and in some bonus games only 30x-50x bets; no bonus brought any winnings, and the result of this session was the loss of balance of more than 600x bets. During another game session, it was possible to get a win in the amount of 2400x bets in the first bonus game, and in another session - 2 wins in a row of 200x bets from the first bonus games. The developer also recorded winnings in the amount of 600x and 800x bets.
- Given the peculiarity of the bonus game, I find it difficult to give recommendations on setting the size of a bet that could guarantee a win (again, in some sessions, even setting an arrow on the value of a potential win in the amount of 30x bets did not bring win), and therefore, in such situations, I personally prefer (and, therefore, I recommend) to always choose large values (up to the maximum possible in the amount of 2400x bets), and if the pokie is “hot”, then this win will be given, and if “cold”, it will not issue this win or the seemingly guaranteed win of 30x-50x bets. I also recommend not to get involved in long gaming sessions on this pokie while waiting for the bonus game, since unlike other pokies, Cuckoo can issue a large number of bonus games without a win.
- The risk game in this pokie is a card (classic) game.
Cuckoo pokie is definitely not recommended for games with bonus money, since it almost does not hold the balance in the main game at all, and the wait for the bonus game is sometimes very long and does not guarantee a win. When playing on real money, I would recommend only short game sessions, in an attempt to get a bonus game from the session start, while setting the high values of the potential win during the bonus game, and if the pokie does not give out the win, immediately leave it, since the probability to lose even a large balance on this pokie is very high.
