Jackpot Rango Slot Machine
Rango is a computer animated feature film that was first released in 2011. In the film, Rango, a chameleon, finds himself accidentally arriving in the town of Dirt, a town desperately in need of a new sheriff. The film has a star studded cast, including Johnny Depp as the voice of Rango himself, Isla Fisher as Beans (an Iguana) and Bill Nighy as Rattlesnake Jake (yep, a Rattlesnake!).
Fans of the film will be very familiar with the look of the slot as it features many of the characters from the film as symbols. All of these are set against bright backgrounds, giving the slot a very colourful look. This is added to by the backdrop to the game which features a desert track and a bright blue sky. The soundtrack of the movie plays throughout which during standard play is somewhat gentle, but it becomes much more resounding during the feature of the slot. You’ll also find some clips from the film during the feature, which is a nice added touch.
This slot by iSoftbet has both a free spins round and a progressive jackpot which can be won on the reels themselves.
Setup and Play for Jackpot Rango
This slot has five reels and 25 win lines. This number of win lines isn’t set in stone however as you’ll have the option of playing just 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 lines as well as the maximum 25. You’ll choose both your coin amount and the line bet (between 1 and 10) which in addition to the number of lines will give you your total stake for each spin.
To win at this slot you’ll need to land consecutive symbols from left to right on a win line, starting with the leftmost reel. All of the symbols at the slot that feature a character from the film will pay out 150 coins when landing five in a row on a win line. Rango and Rattlesnake Jake are the only two symbols which will give you a win if landing just two in a row, while you’ll need at least three in a row of every other symbol in the game. The slot has an auto spin option which will set the game running for up to 50 spins without interruption – the game only stopping if you land a feature.
The wild symbol in the game is Rattlesnake Jake and will substitute for every other symbol in the game apart from the scatter and the progressive Jackpot symbols.
Jackpot Rango Progressive Jackpot
The Jackpot amount is shown in the top left hand corner and will slowly but surely tick upwards until it is won, at which point it will reset to the base amount. On the reels there is a “Jackpot progressive” symbol and to land the Jackpot you’ll simply need to land this five times in a row on a win line.
Jackpot Rango Feature Rounds
There are two separate ways of winning free spins in this game.
The first is by landing the Rango symbol twice on the first reel. This will enable a small random amount of free spins where the Rango symbols and any wilds will be held in place throughout the spins.
However, there is a much better free spins round available which is activated by landing the ‘Rango Sheriff Badge’ scatter symbol three or more times across the reels. This will give you a guaranteed 10 free spins. The wilds really come into play during the feature as each win using a wild will be doubled due to the 2x multiplier. Should you use 2 wilds in a win, this multiplier will increase to 4x. However if using 3 wilds in a win, this multiplier will actually increase to 8x and when you consider that 3 wilds could indeed give you some sizable wins already, you’ll realise that this could potentially be hugely profitable.
Rango Slot Conclusion
If you’ve seen and enjoyed the film Rango, you’ll feel at home playing this slot immediately. Graphically it’s great and the added animated clips only improve the experience. Of course it also helps that you can win big at this slot – the progressive Jackpot potentially only ever a spin away. The free spins features are good, the only small criticism is that there isn’t a feature round away from the reels which you might have expected at a movie based slot. However, this is a slot that will appeal to the majority of players and a job well done by iSoftbet.
