Brave New Metropolis World

This slot machine will take players to the past and to the future. Confusing, isn’t it? Well, let us explain. Epic City is a game which takes influence from classic science fiction narratives of urban utopias – like Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’, or Fritz Lang’s 1927 film ‘Metropolis’ in which a future city is imagined with huge high rise skyscraper as a symbol of industrial wealth of success.

With this in mind, the slot machine imagines a futuristic world from an early 20^th century perspective – so you can expect to see chrome trains on bronze monorail lines and leviathan sized airships floating in-between the clouds and skyscrapers. And all of this was supposed to have happened in 1937, the time in which the game claims to be set. Dream on!

In order to create this past ideal of the future, Epic City adopts some diligent graphical features to incorporate elements of Art Deco design mixed with sheeny metallic colours and impressive machine mechanisms. The game also uses 3D rendering to give bring the whole aspect to life along with some electrifying animations whenever winning combinations of symbols are found.

Icons of Wealth and Power

The symbols of Epic City all represent aspects of ultimate wealth, power and technological achievement. For example, players will find icons that depict automobiles (classic in design, of course), a titanic ship, a juggernaut train, a golden Zeppelin and a magnificent tower block. Other icons include a statue of a man standing tall as well as a statuette of Atlas holding up the world – just to reinforce the idea of human endeavour and power.

Luckily for you punters, there’s no need to carry the world on your shoulder to reap the rewards that this slot machine offers. In fact, all it takes is a bit of luck to find the right combination of those symbols upon the 20 fixed paylines that this slot machine lays out over its 5 reels. In such an event players will be rewarded with a line bet multiplier:

Symbol	Two on a payline	Three on a payline	Four on a payline	Five on a payline
Club	No win	10x	20x	40x
Spade	No win	10x	20x	40x
