I Love Lucy® Slots
We love Lucy! “I Love Lucy” rst
appeared on TV over 50 years ago, and
is the most popular show in the history
of American television. Our love affair with
Lucy continues on the casino oor when we get to play the new IGT I Love Lucy® MegaJackpots Instant WinnersTM slots soon! There are two Lucy slots coming our way: One a reel-spinner, the other a video slot.
The 12-line nickel I Love Lucy video slot is based on the “The Candy Factory”—the 1952 Episode 39 (for you die-
hard Lucy fans) in which Ricky and Fred think housework ismucheasierthanearningmoney,andLucyandEthel feel the opposite (naturally). So the men try doing housework, while the women try jobs at a candy factory.
Of course, hilarity ensues. The slot’s bonus rounds use actual video clips from the 1952
show where points depend on
Lucy snatching chocolates
from the ever-faster moving conveyer belt. There is also
a “Classic Moments Bonus” in which players get to choose a symbol to activate an accompanying lm clip.
The quarter or dollar three-reel spinning Lucy slot is based on the popular Double Diamond®, Five Times PayTM or Triple Lucky7sTMgames(seethe Lucy slot on our cover.). The “Vitameatavegamin Bonus” (based on the 1952 Episode 30 “Lucy Does
a TV Commercial”) is activated when an “I Love Lucy” heart symbol lands on the third-reel payline with a maximum credit bet. Lucy, via original sound clips, makes her hilarious debut into the world of TV commercials while advising you to
“Spoon Your Way to Wealth.” The ve giant dice located in the slot’s top box have arrows and credit amounts on them. The die in the lower left corner spins rst, and the action progresses up the line of dice as long as a die lands on an arrow. The “Vitameatavegamin Bonus” game ends when a die indicates a number.
a player’s color land in a vertical or diagonal line, it counts as a win, and players receive a payout. The more lines won, the
larger the accrued payout!
Othello has two exciting bonus
features. When all eight playing pieces on any of the four rows
When three Lucy symbols line up on the payline (with the maximum bet) the progressive is paid (once veri ed). Look for Lucy in the next few months. We
know she will become another classic!
Multi-Strike PokerTM
We love this hot new twist on video poker! Recently voted the “Most Innovative Gaming Product of 2003,” Multi-Strike PokerTM players
are presented between one and four hands on the video screen. Each hand uses a separate
deck and has a paytable that accelerates 1X, 2X, 4X and 8X the standard payouts for each hand. Hands start at the bottom of the screen. When a winning hand is dealt, players advance to the next hand accumulating the multiplier of each hand. Climbing these levels of payouts is exciting! The game also
