want to be part of the stampede to play this amazing slot.
Wheel of Fortune® Mystery Link
IGT continues to celebrate this year’s 25th anniversary of its enduring Wheel of Fortune® franchise with Mystery Link, available with base games of Lucky Pandas and Enchanted Tigers. The base games are 5-reel, 243-ways-to-win video slots. Both games are on a new cabinet that places the familiar bonus wheel above a 49-inch curved monitor. There are exciting chances for free games, “Moneyball” pointer symbols, and jackpot symbols.
The special hold and re-spin Mystery Link feature is triggered when 6 or more colored pointers land on the screen with either a jackpot name on it or a color-coded question mark. Each of the 5 colors relates to a pointer on the 5-pointer wheel. When the Mystery Link is triggered, the number of pointers awarded lights up on the Wheel and players spin the Wheel. When the Wheel stops, the question marks fill in with credit (money) values from the corresponding wheelpointercolors.
If you land 6 or more pointers
on the reels, you go to a Wheel
Spin Bonus. Each color pointer
symbol on the reel activates that
pointer color on the wheel. The
wheel determines how much your
pointer symbols are worth. If the wheel stops with the red pointer at a 120-credit
space, then all the red pointers on your screen display 120 credits. Every color you have active on the screen will add the credits indicated on the wheel.
Players then begin 3 re-spins, and each time a pointer symbol lands, the re-spins reset
to three. If all 15-reel positions are filled
in at the end of the re-spins, the Wheel flips over (it’s digital, of course) to reveal
a jackpot-only Wheel where players are
guaranteed to win one of the 5 jackpots. Youspinthewheelandwinallprogressives indicated by your pointers—and one
could be the top grand prize!
All Aboard
All Aboard from Konami Gaming uses hold-and- re-spin in both of the two base games, Dynamite
Dash and Piggy Pennies. Landing 6 locomotive engines on the
reels launches the game's
most memorable bonus,
the All Aboard Feature, which
gives players the chance to claim increasing credit prize symbols, up to 9 times in the same bonus. The engines lock in place and reveal credit awards. Then you receive at least 3 re-spins. Anytime you land another engine on the reels, it locks in place, reveals a credit award, and resets the re-spin meter to 3. If you’re lucky and fill all 15 symbol spaces on the 5 reels with engines, then you win the top jackpot.
Cash Falls Huo Zhu
Hold-and-re-spin isn't just for bonus features as Scientific Games shows in Cash Falls Huo Zhu. With a pirate theme
filled with cannons, skulls, swords and treasure chests,
you’ll lock in credit-valued coin symbols and keep them on the reels for as long as they are collected. When you’ve filled a reel, prepare for the cash to fall as it pays out the
total credit value.
The reels also reset with a
new collection of symbols after 3 spins without any additional coins, so there’s
always a chance at winning. Boost your winnings through the Free Games feature where a full reel of coins is multiplied by a 2x to 10x multiplier. With big wins in the base game, and
bigger wins in the Free Games feature, Cash Falls Huo Zhu
will keep you coming back for more!
Ultimate Fire Link
Another Scientific Games creation, the Ultimate Fire Link series showcases fast- paced, progressive games that make for a heart-pounding slot experience. They’re built around the action-packed lock-and-spin Fire Link Feature, which creates breathtaking
excitement with every fireball that lands on the reels.
The Fire Link Feature is triggered by at least 4 Fireball symbols that lock in place and award 3 free spins. During the free spins, every new Fireball symbol on the reels locks in place and resets the Free Spins
