While it is not yet available at gaming venues in Australia, IGT’s new Avatar pokie machine is making a splash in the land-based gambling market. It has recently premiered at all 10 MGM casinos in Las Vegas, and players are jumping at the chance to give this innovative new game a spin. IGT’s Avatar pokie is a 5-reel 25-payline game that introduces a number of unique new bonus features for players to enjoy.
The game also boasts incredible graphics, including video clips from the film and animated symbols based on characters from Avatar. There are three base game bonus features, which provide players with the chance to cash in without even triggering an off-screen bonus game. Banshee Wilds are random wild symbols that help to complete winning combinations.
The Arrow Boost is a multiplier bonus that is triggered to increase players’ payouts. Finally, there is a Na’vi Pay bonus, which awards extra credits for every Na’vi character that appears on the reels. The great thing about IGT’s Avatar pokie is that players can save their progress in order to pick up where they left off each time they play.
This has its benefits because players are able to earn achievements, which trigger bigger and better bonus prizes. Initially, there are only two bonuses available, but three more are unlocked when players level up. There are free games, pick-a-prize bonus rounds and hunting bonus games for players to choose from. There are also some impressive group-play bonuses, which allow players to work together to earn cash prizes.
There are three multiplayer modes: RDA Attack, Battle for the Tree of Souls and Defend the Forest. In each of these bonus games, the players must band together in order to achieve a common goal. If they are successful, each player involved receives a portion of the prize pool.
