Elton John Slot Machine
For several decades Sir Elton John has delighted the world with his fantastic hit songs and outrageous attire. Classic songs like Crocodile Rock, Your Song, and Tiny Dancer have been hitting the airwaves for a very long time, making Elton John one of the world's most successful entertainers. Furthermore, he has been a fixture in Vegas for a long period of time, his long running Las Vegas show set to continue through at least 2017.
Slot software developer WMS has tacked onto the popularity of this British pop legend by securing the rights to the musician and developing a video slot based on his career. This title is the latest in a string of titles that WMS is building up for release late in 2014 and early 2015, joining other franchises such as Beetlejuice, Mad Men, Gremlins, Elvis, and The Flintstones in getting their own exclusive machines complete with unique cabinets.
Bright and Bold Just Like the Man Himself
The game itself is a 5 reel affair, with 40 paylines doling out a variety of opportunities for players to take home big cash. Reel symbols are musically themed (of course), with marquees sitting right alongside classic images of Elton throughout the decades. Pianos, sunglasses, and gold records can also be found on the reels, as are poker symbols to help round out the entire offering of graphic features.
There are many great bonus features included in this game, such as the "I'm Still Standing" bonus, which plays the classic song while awarding Free Spins and Wild Symbols. The "Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting" bonus is another great feature, which spins a Wheel of Fortune above the slot, awarding Wild Symbols and Win Multipliers during the round.
Last but certainly not least is the "Rocket Man" feature, which also spins the wheel of fortune, potentially turning almost all of the symbols on the reels Wild, generating huge wins in the process. The game is also tied into WMS Gaming's large progressive jackpot network, awarding a monumental sized win should they hit the right combination.
As well as all of the great features, the Elton John slot contains booming sound from Elton's massive library of hit songs as well as crisp and high definition video that plays from an actual concert in the background of the game as well as on the wheels above.
The Elton John video slot cabinet is also revolutionary in its wonderful design, allowing for maximum comfort and style. The bright and vibrant screens are part of the winning combination here, and the game oozes color and style only befitting of Elton himself. The slot is being offered in WMS' Bluebird gaming cabinets and is using the firm's CPU-NXT3 platform, which allows for highly complex games to be played without any stuttering or lag.
Players interested in getting their hands on the Elton John video slot can do so from the end of 2014 or early 2015 at land casinos throughout the world. The primary market for these games will be western casinos such as those located in the United States and Europe, but it is likely that this title will see widespread distribution given Elton's popularity worldwide. And of course when it's available as a free online slot, it will be here first at VegasSlotsOnline.com.
