Rook's Revenge Slots
Rook's Revenge is a fun and exciting online slot game which takes players back to the ancient civilisation of the Aztecs in Mexico and was created and released by well known developers Betsoft in February of 2014.
The heart of Mexico was home to the Aztec empire from the 13th century and the people were called Mexicas. Nowadays, they are better known for their amazing monuments and impressive relics such as the Montezuma feathered headdress which is seen on the head of the cheerful, round bellied protagonist Chief Rook.
This slot offers some attractive details, potent bonus features with free spins and multipliers and some humorous and entertaining gameplay featuring Rook, an animated chieftain who lives deep in the jungle. His job is to keep you company as you endeavour to discover the treasure and he knows how to celebrate when the wins are made. The win potential sits at $12,500 and gameplay is made easy and intuitive to understand.
The gaming grid is bursting with colour and offers 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines to make wins. Payouts are made with three and up to five matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right and the cascading reels mechanic generates excitement and suspense as they offer additional payouts in a single spin. After a win the symbols involved will explode, making space for new symbols to fall (cascade) into their space. If the new symbols form new winning combinations, another cascade will occur. This will continue until zero winning formations can be formed. Wild symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 make it easier to get these winning line combos.
Ancient architecture is seen towering over the reels, with green vines creeping down the stone which flanks each side of the grid. The 3D design is fabulous with a lot of creative detail showing up in the symbols which carry a cartoon feel. Native music featuring tribal sounds provides some rich atmosphere and the bongos bring a very immersive feel. The animation is certainly funny and memorable particularly when payouts happen as Rook performs an agile cartwheel in celebration.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is 94.53% and this game plays with high volatility. This means huge wins are possible but winless streaks are also to be expected along the way. Casual players will need to exercise prudence and caution as the road can get bumpy. However, this brings more appeal to high rollers who don´t mind a little risk.
Wagers will need to be placed firstly to begin gameplay and players can make their stakes starting from a minimum of $0.25 per spin and up to a maximum of $125.00 per spin. This range provides lots of options to accommodate a wide variety of player from beginners to more experienced punters.
A useful Autoplay button allows for a number of spins to be pre automated beforehand and this can greatly aid those who are conscious of maintaining a gaming budget. Likewise, it makes for a handy tool for those who dislike manual play, preferring more fluidity in their gaming sessions.
The wild symbol is represented by the elaborately drawn question mark symbol and appears on the second, third and fourth reels only and this substitutes for all the other gaming icons including the scatter golden mask symbols. These scatters are responsible for triggering the free spins when three of them land on reels 1, 2 and 3. During the free spins the exploding symbols feature carries even higher multipliers and landing three more scatters can retrigger these free games.
Other gaming symbols include totems and intricate carvings that represent the Aztec culture with the red mask being the highest paying symbol offering 2,500x for a set of five. Other mid level symbols bring payouts of 1,000x, 500x, and 300x for a full five on the reels and the lower paying icons bring 100x, 75x and 50x for five on the reels.
The main attraction are the powerful win multipliers which increase in value with each new combination of symbols. When players receive 20 free spins they are granted with advancing multipliers that start from 1x, 2x, 3x and 5x in the main game and these grow up to 15x in the free spins.
