Evel Knievel Slot
Dare to spin this slot machine by Odobo software, which pays homage to the great American daredevil, Evel Knievel. The adrenaline is big and the entertainment is bold thanks to a set of bonus-filled features and some action-packed gameplay. There are 50 paylines in total over the 5 reels of this slot machine, making every spin a potential winner. However, the game doesn't reward players for their bravery with a somewhat small set of payout values.
All American Hero
This slot machine may have 50 paylines, but that's nothing compared to the 433 broken bones that Evel Knievel picked up in a lifetime of performing huge stunts and daring tricks. On the reels, players will find a whole load of action shots of the real life action man. There is one icon showing him in mid-flight on his motorcycle while another shows Knievel in his rocket powered cycle – the Skycycle X-2 which he built for an attempt to jump over the Snake River Canyon in 1974. Other symbols show the famous stuntman's motorcycle gloves and his helmet while some standard playing card values help to fill up the rest of the reel positions.
The reels of this slot machine are set over a backdrop of Las Vegas, where Evel Knievel performed many of his epic jumps. As such, this setting matches the overall aspect of the game which is bright, bold and bordering on a bit gaudy. The colour scheme is predominantly red, white and blue to honour the American hero while one symbol represents a number “1” adorned with the stars and stripes of the USA flag. And just to keep things slick and exciting, a series a guitar licks will play as the reels spin to accompany the sound of a revving motorcycle engine. Vroom vroom!
Daring Theme, Conservative Wagers
Despite the daredevil theme behind this game, punters are quite limited to the amount of risk that they can take with this Evel Knievel slot machine by Odobo. That is because the highest stake per line is capped at just 0.50 coins while the other available options include: 0.20, 0.10, 0.05, 0.02 and 0.01. So, you shouldn't expect to be on the winning end of any absolutely mind-blowing prizes. That said, the game does have 50 permanent paylines in play, meaning that winning prizes will tend to come around more often than not, no matter how small they are.
The smallest of all prizes for five matching symbols is a 100x line bet mutliplier for the 10 and 9 icons. Q and J, on the other hand will up the reward to a 200x multiplier while A and K make for a 250x prize. Evel Knievel's gloves and helmet will fetch players up to 300x the value of the line bet and the number 1 icon and the motorcycle image will go for 400x. The most valuable icon in normal play is the Skycycle X-2 rocket, five of which on a payline will pay a line bet multiplier worth 500x.
Helping you to make those all important payline sequences is no other than Evel Knievel himself. This head shot image of the fearless entertainer is the game's wild symbol, meaning that it will complete wins by replacing all other symbols except for the scatter symbol and free spin bonus icons.
Big Stunt Bonus
Those free spins are triggered whenever three or more Evel Knievel logos appear in any reel position. 15 free games will begin featuring stacked wild symbols which may appear on the second, third, fourth and fifth reels, giving players every chance to line up a big five-of-a-kind win while they enjoy their stake-free spins.
This free spin bonus also offers a couple of special icons, depicted by two new images of Evel Knievel riding his motorcycle. The first of these images shows the daredevil doing a wheelie on his motorcycle, and if three or more of these scatter symbols appear, then they will activate an extra bonus feature called the “Big Stunt Bonus”. This bonus plays out a continuous stream of locked free spins, which can only be stopped if the other special scatter symbol appears – an image of Knievel riding his bike with his cape flying behind him.
High Octane Spins
Spinners who like to take big risks might well be disappointed that this Evel Knievel slot machine doesn't allow for big bets in honour of its titular hero. However, the game does offer plenty of small winning opportunities thanks to 50 paylines and a series of extra bonus elements. What's more, the adrenaline-fuelled theme is sure to keep many a punter free from boredom.
