Rocket Man is an iconic slot from IGT, one whose 1920s flourishes and gorgeous graphics will elicit major nostalgia in anyone who has the privilege of spinning its reels. 99 paylines and a Tumbling Reels feature allow for ample action in this 5-reel thriller.
One of the 20th century’s favourite superheroes, Rocket Man hasn’t received much fanfare in recent years. Well, IGT are on a mission to change all that. The comic book hero and star of various movies has been reborn in this 5-reel slot, one that retains all the charm and wit of the original cartoon, despite its transformation from children’s adventure to adults’ video slot.
The game’s protagonist cuts a dashing figure with his yellow perspex specs, white gloves and rocket pack strapped to his back. As a crime-fighting force for good, he’s tasked with defeating the forces of evil, rescuing the stolen bullion and generally setting the world to rights before bedtime. The action takes place on a standard 5×3 grid, housed within a 1920s wireless radio.
How to Play
The Rocket Man logo displayed across the top of the screen will sporadically be replaced with the solitary piece of playing advice you’ll be given off the bat: 3 electron symbols on a line will trigger the free games feature. Suffice to say it’s not the only means of scooping a tidy sum from Rocket Man however. Before you complete so much as a spin, you’ll want to specify the number of active payline you wish to play with. This can be set anywhere from 1 all the way up to the maximum 99. While you’re at it, you can adjust the bet per line from 0.01 to 10, resulting in a maximum bet per spin of 990.
The remaining controls sited across the bottom of the screen include autoplay, which can be set at 5-25 lines, audio controls and a Replay button. Clicking on this will replay the last spin of the reels – but won’t generate a different outcome sadly. For a playing guide and paytable information, click on the question mark icon. Other than that, there’s only one button that matters – the turquoise one on the right hand side that will get this game kick-started.
Free Games Feature
The free games feature is the primary means of scooping some serious credits from Rocket Man. Comprising an electron symbol circling a jar, it will appear on reels 1-3 only. Land 3 of these symbols on a payline and you’ll trigger anywhere from 1 to 4 free games. During free games, it’s not possible to win additional free games. In the base game, the most valuable symbol is not surprisingly Rocket Man himself, 5 of whom are worth 5,000. His nemesis, on the other hand, commands just 1,000 for 5.
The other symbol of note is wild, which simply appears as the word WILD in flame scorched letter on a blue background. The blue wild will substitute for all of the regular playing symbols and will only appear on the first 3 reels. These is a secondary wild to watch out for however, this one featuring a brown background. It operates identically to the blue wild but will only appear on reels 2-4.
Tumbling Reels
The other primary feature to be found in Rocket Man is the tumbling reels feature. Winning combos on both lit and unlit lines can trigger tumbling reels, and this feature can appear at any stage in play, be it during the base game or during a feature game.
At this stage, symbols in winning combinations will disappear, to be replaced by symbols tumbling from above. The reels will keep tumbling until eventually there isn’t a win generated.
More Rocket for Your Pocket
Rocket Man is a no-nonsense slot where there isn’t a whole lot going on in terms of features. Thanks to its sharp graphics and distinctive theme however there’s plenty of enjoyment to be derived from this game. What’s more, with up to 99 reels in play, there’s rarely a dull moment.
Play conservatively with just a handful of reels in play if you must, but for the full effect, crank everything up to the max and do your utmost to trigger tumbling reels that will send Rocket Man on his way.
