Play Drift King for Free

There is an increasing number of slot machines in the market which use the breakneck action of street racing to appeal to adrenaline junkie spinners. With popular movie franchises such as Fast and Furious as well as some top-quality street racing video games being released in the past decade or so, it is no surprise that gamblers and developers alike have grown a taste for life in the fast lane.

Drift King caters for this taste with its well designed game screen and future-cool aesthetic. With a stroke of genius, the game makers have presented the reels as if the player was sitting at the wheel of a car, showing a dashboard full of dials and control buttons. The setting beyond this control panel is a typical inner-city scene by night, a perfect spot for a bit of street racing.

As for the icons on the reels, punters all sorts of key components to any fierce beast of a car, from sports steering wheels to neon-glow speedometers, chrome alloy wheels and banging sub-woofer speakers. Petrol-heads (and anyone who has played Gran Turismo or Need for Speed) will recognise some important parts from beneath the hood of any street-racer's car, such as an engine piston, a turbocharger and a tank full of nitrous oxide. That'll give the spins a bit of va-va-voom!

Driving this slot machine is much easier than driving a supercharged street racer car around the city streets, but it could be just as thrilling if you happen to get lucky. With 25 fixed paylines on the 5 reels, players will simply need to choose how much they wish to wager on each spin with line bets as follows: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.50. That gives this game a maximum total bet worth 12.50 credits, which is far from being the biggest possible bet in the world of slot machines. Spinners can multiply their line bets by up to 5,000x, with a wide variety of winning combinations available to find on any of the 25 paylines.

Giving players a bit of a bonus boost in this slot machine are a couple of bonus symbols. For starters, there is a “W” icon that not only offers the biggest potential line win jackpot, but which also acts as a wild to complete wins involving other symbols. This wild symbol will not replace the scatter icon – depicted by the green car – since this icon doesn't need to appear on a payline to reward a free spin bonus. Players will be treated to 5, 10 and 20 free spins if three, four or 5 scatters appear respectively.

That's not all, because Drift King promises to give players the chance to take part in some high-octane racing action for extra wins. This exciting side game is triggered by the “Bonus” meter that appears in the top right hand side of the screen. Every time a player finds a win on the reels, the bonus juice rises and spinners get closer to a potential side game feature. However, every losing spin will result in the bonus meter being reset to zero, so you have to hold out for some consecutive winning spins.

If you consider yourself a bit of a petrol-head, then you will no doubt want to find more slot machines with a similar car theme. In truth, this isn't the most common genre in the world, but spinners will be able to steer their way to wins with video slots such as Desert Drag by Booming Games, Drive: Multiplier Mayhem by NetEnt and Racing for Pinks by Microgaming.

Drift King is a cool video slot from Capecod Gaming that plays nicely to fans of popular street racing films and video games. Even if you don't consider yourself much of a petrol-head, you might still be able to appreciate this slot machine's winning potential thanks to a 5,000x line bet jackpot. And that's forgetting the bonus boosts that come in the shape of free spins and a unique racing side game.
