Rocky Slot style and design
This epic slot invokes nostalgia for 80’s among those gamblers who are old enough to remember them. Only intro and help section have any music though, which is sad, as franchise has a decent soundtrack. For complete immersion when playing at home, it might be wise to turn on some music in retro-wave genre. Worth mentioning that some winning combos feature animated scenes from movies, with voiceovers.
Number of reels and paylines
This game operates 5 reels and 25 paylines. Paylines are adjustable, and gambler can choose from 1 to 25 of to be active during particular spin, which accepts bet from 1 to 10 “coins”. Coins are units of currency, which are agreed upon between gambler and service provider. One feature of interest is called Rocky feature. This is triggered when letters align to form the word ROCKY correctly, from left to right, and it awards 5x multiplier of current bet. Another one is for risky players, and it is called Gamble. It involves staking all your winnings from lucky rounds into one bet, on whether the next card going to be black or red. Payout is doubled if you guess it correctly. There is no progressive jackpot, only a fixed one. Get five WILD symbols on given payline to trigger it.
Symbols and coefficients
Rocky Slot adversaries from various films of this long-running franchise are present in this game as symbols. His lovely wife Adrian softens this testosterone overdose a little. Patriotic letters ROCKY, stylized with an American flag, complete the picture. While Dolph Lundgren is probably most memorable of those, he’s not the top dog here, as his returns are 800, 50 and 30 at 5, 4 and 3 instances of him respectively.
Sylvester himself is a WILD icon, and he provides 10000, 1000 and 50 respectively. Italian stallion logo is a scatter symbol, an unremarkable one we have to admit. On the bright side, its bonuses are good: =2 scatters give you amount of your bet, 3 of them multiply it by 5, 4 = 10 and 5 of them would send any champion to K.O. with its whopping 100 multiplier. Another type of bonus symbols are red and white boxing gloves. They can only appear at reel 5 and reel 1 respectively. If they appear at once, then knockout round is awarded. This is your chance to fight a mini-game within a game, defeating all those tiresome foes like Drago and Lang, grabbing a prize for each victorious round.
Other
For all its ups and downs, it is a decent game. Nothing outstanding, but not a handicapped game either. Not too fancy, not too ugly. Might suit well those gamblers who were action movie fans in their youth, but serious players would choose something else.
