Game in Action
Set against the backdrop of the well-lit Grand City, the reels are populated with comic book symbols of Jack Hammer, Pearl, Dr. Wuten, canoes, and rifles. The slot begins with a movie-style introductory clip that introduces players to the chief characters. Although there isn’t much of ambience music, the sound effects are thrilling and can make you feel as if you are watching a movie, not playing a slot. There is an Autoplay feature, which allows you to spin the reels automatically for up to 1000 times.
Although the slot tells you that you can win up to 990,000 coins, the top fixed payouts are disappointingly low. You can win the top payout of 500 coins by landing five Jack Hammer symbols along an active line. Land five Pearl symbols to win the second biggest payout of 250 coins. One of the most attractive things about this slot is that it sticks to its theme; there are no high-value card symbols on the reels.
You can win big while playing this slot because it is one of the most generous slots in the Net Entertainment portfolio. The only downside is that you can win big only in the free spins round, and for that, you have to first land at least five Free Spin symbols. You will find it very difficult to do although you can activate the Sticky Win feature many times. Although I played the slot for a fairly long time, I could land only 4 Free Spin symbols at a time.
Bonuses
The game lacks a progressive jackpot, a bonus game that opens on the second screen, and even a gamble feature. But it has an innovative Sticky Win feature and a free spins round with random wilds.
The Sticky Win feature gets activated whenever a winning combination is created on the reels. The symbols in the winning combination are held in position while the other reels are re-spun to give players a chance to win bigger prizes. The reels continue to re-spin as long as winning combinations are created.
The game has the usual wild symbol, which players can use to complete winning combinations. To unlock the free spins feature, players need to get at least five Free Spin symbols anywhere on the reels. They will win 10, 13, 16, and 20 free spins for combinations of 5, 6, 7, and 8+ Free Spin symbols, respectively. The free spins come with doubled wins and random wilds and can be re-activated.
