ROARING FORTIES ONLINE SLOT REVIEW

Progressive Jackpot: No

Software: Novomatic

Paylines: 40

Reels: 5

RTP: 95.48%

Roaring Forties is a classic fruit machine re-boot produced by the great game developers over at Novomatic. The forty of the title refers to the number of paylines in play in the five-reel, four-row machine. It doesn't offer much in the way of extra features but if you're a fan of old school action, you must get your hands on this slot.

There's something hugely comforting about playing a quality slot game that has instantly-recognizable symbols that have won you loads of money in the past, yet there's also something exciting about having the added thrill of some more modern bonus games to keep you busy during the gameplay.

Even for a slot from this game developer, Roaring Forties is a truly stripped back affair. This is about as fundamental a game as you'll come across as far as gameplay is concerned. There aren't any extras to talk about. So, if you're after free spins, cash trails or pick'em rounds, you'll be out of luck.

The graphics and sound are a little rudimentary but Roaring Forties will appeal to players wanting to just sit back and hit autoplay. If that sounds like you, by all means, go dive in. Retro symbols, potentially massive payouts, and star bonuses, what’s not to love?

FEATURE SYMBOLS

Everything here focuses on the base game, which is configured like a classic fruit machine. The plain white reels include cherries, lemons, oranges and plums which award 8, 40 or 100 coins if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. And then come the grapes and melons which pay 20, 80 and 200 coins followed by the bell which offers 40, 100 or 300 coins. The most lucrative of the standard symbols is the lucky red 7 - hit 3, 4 or 5 of this in a row will get you 4, 60, 200 or 1,000 coins.

Those numbers are dwarfed by the star scatter, which is by far the most potentially rewarding symbol. Land 3, 4 or 5 stars anywhere on the reels and you can look to a payout of 80, 800 or 20,000 coins! Helping your winning chances is the wild. It doesn't offer any payouts on its own but does replace all other symbols apart from the scatter.

BONUS ROUNDS

Gamble Feature

Any three symbols in the game can be matched in order to trigger the gamble option that you don’t necessarily need to play. If you are willing to risk, just click on the button that appears on the left side of the screen after a winning combo and pick either a black or a red card. If you choose right, the last earnings would be doubled. But if not, it’s like the combo never happened.
