The Ante Engine is a unique online pokie from AppleJack Gaming. It is quite an interesting game, featuring a retro-futuristic theme that we don’t tend to see in many online pokies. In addition to having a great theme and graphics, it offers up many special features for players to enjoy. The game begins with Andy the Android and his dog walking down the street in a futuristic world.
Something in a shop window catches his eye, and it turns out to be the Ante Engine. When he picks it up, the game starts. The Ante Engine looks like your average online pokie, except all of the symbol are made of metalworking. Even though the symbols are just poker suits and rankings, they are design in a way that makes them eye-catching. Each one has its own steam-punk design, bolted together with beautiful embellishments.
What really sets this game apart from the competition is the unique ‘widget style’ gameplay. There are three ‘modifier bulbs’ along the left side of the screen, and they are randomly triggered as the player spins the reels. They feature multipliers (2x, 3x, 5x and 10x) and wild symbols (which turns any adjacent symbol wild). Once a modifier bulb appears, it remains in place for the next three spins.
The bulbs also help players trigger the bonus game. When three bulbs appear on the reels at the same time, the free spins meter increases. The brighter the bulbs, the more free spins are accumulated. “We were determined to create a game that gave players plenty of opportunities to capitalize on wins,” says Paul Overton, Founder of Apple Jack. “The theme is quirky and appealing and we hope players enjoy it."
The Ante Engine from Apple Jack is a fun steampunk-themed online pokie that will certainly captivate players. With HTML5 technology, this game is available on a wide range of online platforms, including Android and iOS.
