How to Play

The Three Stooges: Brideless Groom was originally a short film that’s seen many airings on television. So we’ve made playing the slots version of this classic Three Stooges tale as easy as using a remote control (and not today’s ridiculously complicated remote controls either). It’s easy to get in the game and you don’t need a haircut like Moe Howard to feel like a true Stooge. Just start off by placing your bet. To do that, use the little up and down arrows that are located next to the Bet and Lines buttons. Click them up to raise your selections. Click them down to lower them. When you’re happy with your choices, just click the Spin button and the game will start. It’s that simple.

Symbols and Characters

The Three Stooges

This is the wild symbol in the game. If you hit two symbols and you’re missing the third, The Three Stooges can sub in for the missing symbol to help you complete a winning payline. When Stooges cover one or more reels, you could earn re-spins or end up playing the bonus round.

Rings

The Rings symbol is the scatter symbol in the game. While other symbols pay left to right, scatter symbols pay out in any direction. That means you could win big without necessarily lining up symbols on a payline.

How to get to the Bonus Feature

Cover reels 2, 3, and 4 with Stooge symbols and you’ll get to play the special Stooge Picks bonus round. If you only end up covering one reel, don’t worry. That still gets you one free re-spin. Cover two reels? You’ll earn three re-spins. Remember, when you re-spin, you don’t have to wager any additional money of your own.

How to play the Bonus Feature

Grab your remote control because when you enter the Stooge Picks bonus round, you’ll be presented with several TV sets. Your job? Change the channel on the TV sets to a Three Stooges episode and reveal your prize. Whatever you click over to is yours. You could win re-spins, prize multipliers, and other cool surprises. Plus, you’ll get to keep picking until you land on a commercial break. And by commercial break we mean broken hearts. Remember, this is all about finding Shemp a bride, not making him fall out of love.

Game Rules

There aren’t a ton of rules to follow along in this one. After all, The Three Stooges are famous for coloring outside the lines. But there is one important rule you should pay attention to. While the wild Stooges symbol can take the place of other symbols to help you finish a winning payline, they can’t substitute in for the scattered Ring symbol. What’s more, the Stooge Picks feature game can only be entered by covering off the middle three reels with Stooges. If you cover off another reel but are missing one of the middle three, you won’t be eligible to play the bonus round.

Win Free Re-Spins

The Three Stooges: Brideless Groom doesn’t come with a random jackpot, but that doesn’t mean you can’t win like a champion at the end of a game. Instead of shower your with a random jackpot and loads of riches, this online slots game opts to award players with random free spins, randomly, upon the conclusion of a game.

History of The Three Stooges: Brideless Groom

If you love The Three Stooges, you’ll recognize The Brideless Groom. It’s the name of an actual Three Stooges short film from 1947 that starred Larry, Moe, and Shemp. The premise was pretty hilarious, even by today’s standards. Shemp has been left a massive inheritance, but in order to score his uncle’s loot, the will stipulates that he must be married. Shemp has just a few hours to find Mrs. Right. Or at the very least Mrs. Right Now. So what happens at the end? Does Shemp find the right woman to satisfy his inheritance obligations? Watch the episode to find out. Or give this 33-payline slots game a spin.
