Rocket Man Introduction
Fresh off the press from the developers at IGT, Rocket Man is bursting with innovative features guaranteed to entertain for hours. Rocket Man does away with reels as you know them, instead using cascading symbols. The Tumbling Reels feature lets you win again and again and you will enjoy all the usual features of free pokies, such as free spins, multiple wilds and scatter wins.
Look and feel
The reels are subtly decorated in the style of an art deco cinema, setting the scene for the blockbuster of reel-spinning action about to unfold. The theme is continued by the symbols and game art, drawn in a style reminiscent of 1950s film posters. Add to this the cinematic music and sound effects, which create an extra immersive element to the game guaranteed to keep players on the edge of their seats throughout!
How to set up and play
A fantastic innovation in Rocket Man is the Tumbling Reels feature. Experienced players will quickly notice that there are no reels as such; instead, symbols fall from above into a five x three grid. Winning symbols disappear to allow new ones to fall in their place, creating extra chances to win!
Winning spins are created in the same way as usual - by forming combinations of matching symbols along active paylines - and there are a massive 99 paylines to play for! If this feels a little overwhelming, fear not. You can set the number of active lines to just 1, 5, 10, 25 or 50, which means you are sure to find a set-up that suits your gaming style.
There is also plenty of choice in the amount you want to bet, from as little as $0.01 per line to as much as $10 per line, allowing you to wager a massive $990 per spin!
Generous payouts
Players need at least three matching symbols on a line to win - the more matches, the higher the prizes! The lower value symbols are all the proceeds of crime, no doubt - the velvet bag of diamonds is worth 75 x your line bet for all five, while the briefcase of money and the stack of gold ingots pay out 100 x.
Further up the scale, the femme fatale - an obligatory character in all action and spy films - awards your efforts with 300 x your line bet if you see all five, while the press photographer pays out 400 x. Catching five of the cigar-smoking evil villain results in a reward of 1,000 x your bet per line, with the most sought-after symbol being the Rocket Man himself, worth an unbelievable 5,000 x your bet!
Special symbols
The fun does not end there! The wild symbol, making an appearance on reels one, two and three, substitutes for any of the above symbols to help you land more of those winning combos. Land three or more blue test tube symbols on an active line to trigger the free spins bonanza. Generously, all free spins are played with the maximum 99 lines, which means you are more likely than ever to strike gold
