High Five II Slot Machine
If there's one thing that Kajot software is good at, then it is creating top quality slot machines of a vintage calibre. High Five II is one of those 3-reel games that is incredibly simple to behold and even more simple to play. But, then again, appearance are often deceiving with such basically designed slot machines by Kajot and this 5-payline game boasts a special gameplay feature which will award extra large wins worth 5x the value of normal prizes.
Just another 3-reel slot...
On the surface, this classic slot machine is just another 3-reel game with a bunch of fruit symbols, some two-dimensional illustrations and generic arcade sound effects. There aren't even any animations other than a somewhat underwhelming splash of coins whenever the symbols align in winning lines. Those icons include cherries, plums, oranges, watermelons, double BARs, triple BARs, golden bells and lucky number 7s – but you could have probably guessed that from the moment we told you that this was a fruit machine style game in the same vain as other titles from this developer such as the Classic 7 slot.
Line up for some prizes
This slot machine has 5 paylines that are always fixed into position, running horizontally and diagonally across the 3x3 reel grid. It is along these all-important lines that spinners need to align three matching symbols to win prizes. Whenever this happens, players will receive a reward, the size of which depends on how many credits they place as a stake. The possible wagers that can be laid down are 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 credits – all of which represent the total bet rather than a line bet multiplier.
Should a player find three cherry icons on a payline, then they will receive a 2x total bet multiplier as a prize, effectively doubling their stake, while three orange symbols will pay a 3x stake prize, a row of plums awards 4x and a line of watermelons offers 5x. More rewarding wins can be found when three double BAR icons appear for a 8x prize with triple BARs paying 12x. Golden bells, on the other hand, will fetch a prize worth 20x the value of the total bet and a row of three sevens will go for the biggest line win of all – a 30x total bet multiplier.
So, if a player was feeling risky and placed a 1,000 credit bet on a single spin, they could potentially land a winning spin of 30,000 credits if they line up three 7s on a payline.
5 paylines = x5 wins
If you think that's a good return, then wait until you hear that you could potentially win a 150,000 credit jackpot with the same 1,000 credit bet. How? Well, it's quite simple really – you just have to complete line wins with three 7 symbols on each of the 5 separate paylines and you will win a total bet multiplier prize of 150x.
This feature applies to every symbol in the game, as you will see from the small payline diagrams that appear lined up on either side of the game screen. Each time that a new three-in-a-row sequence appears, it will be highlighted in yellow until all 5 paylines are activated to award a prize that is 5x the normal payout value for that symbol. You can see the full payout schedule for single payline wins and 5-payline wins in the table below.
Go for the gamble
Every win that a players makes can be gambled for even bigger wins, no matter whether it comes from a single payline prize or 5-payline prize. This gamble game follows the conventional Kajot software format which asks players to guess whether a dice will roll a red or black symbol. Correct guesses mean doubled wins and the chance to gamble again, while incorrect guesses will wipe all of the accrued wins from the triggering spin and previously successful gambles. There is, however, a special blue side to the dice which locks in the gamble stake, meaning that any subsequent losses will result in that amount being paid as oppose to nothing.
… Not just another 3-reel slot
High Five II by Kajot software is another 3-reel slot machine from the Czech game designer which appears simple on the surface, yet is actually quite interesting and unique once you start spinning and sits well alongside other offerings such as the Fruit Machine 27 slot. Admittedly, the game is a bit dated on the visual front but, then again, most retro slots are. Instead, this slot is all about keeping the spins going in hope that you might trigger that fifth payline for an extra large payout prize as you won't find the mass of expanding wild symbols or free spins available on a comparable video slot.
