Rocky

The Rocky online slot was launched back in august 2010 by the games developer Playtech.

All the familiar characters are there including some of Rocky’s toughest opponents. Are you ready for the fight?

The Rocky slot by Playtech is a 5-reel and 3-row with 25 pay lines. These are not fixed so you can set how many you want active on any spin. The game has plenty of features including a wild substitution symbol, a scatter symbol that can activate a free spins bonus round, a knockout bonus where you go 10 rounds with one of Rocky’s opponents and then there is also a gamble feature.

How to play Rocky Video Slot

When you load up the Rocky video slot you have a very straightforward looking game that is very patriotic with its stars and stripes. The game is mainly dark grey and silver with larger chunky looking buttons for playing the game. It is, therefore, easy to jump into the ring with this game as it is easy to use.

The Rocky online slot doesn’t use any standard card type symbols as with other online slots. Instead, you have 6 characters from the film and that include Rocky himself. The scatter symbol is the game logo and landing at least 3 of these will activate the free spins bonus round. The wild symbol is in fact, Rocky and substitutes for all other symbols apart from the scatter, the knockout bonus and the spelling of the name Rocky feature.

Before playing the Rocky online slot you should set your cost per spin. You can do this by clicking the large number ‘1’ button under the first real. This allows you to change the coin value for the game from 1p up to £1. You can then set how many active pay lines you would like between 1 and 25. Finally, you can adjust the line bet which is a multiplier against your current coin value. Therefore, these options allow you to set the cost per spin from 1p (25p for all active pay lines) up to £250. We always recommend that you set the cost per spin to a value you are comfortable with.

To start playing Rocky you just need to select the red button on the right-hand side of the bottom part of the game screen that says ‘Spin’. You will also see an ‘Auto Start’ button. Clicking this option allows you to have the game spin the reels automatically. You can set the number of spins from 1 up to 99 spins.

The base game, as with other online slots, will see you looking to get matching symbols on an active pay line and this can include the wild symbol. You will also be looking to spell out the name ‘Rocky’ anywhere across the 5 reels from left to right with the letters in the correct order. If this is the case then you will receive 5 x your total bet.

If you manage to land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols then you will activate the free spins bonus round and receive 10, 15 or 25 free spins respectively. During the free spins bonus, all wins are doubled. You also have extra Wilds added to the reels. If during the free spins feature you again land 3 scatters you will re-activate the free spins. These can be re-activated indefinitely. Once the free spins are complete you will return to the base game.

Another feature is the Knockout Bonus and this is activated by landing a red glove and a white glove on reels 1 and 5. This feature gives you the choice of which opponent Rocky is to fight. You are then treated to a series of video clips showing Rocky fighting your chosen opponent. For every round that Rocky wins, you receive a cash prize. The most rounds you can go are 10 and then you return to the base game.

Finally, after every win, you have the gamble feature. This is where you will be shown the back of a playing card and you have to choose whether it will be a red card or a black card when it is revealed. Guess incorrectly and you lose your cash prize. However, guess correctly and your prize is doubled.

On the bottom left of the game screen, you will see an ‘info’ button. Selecting this will allow you to view a series of 5 screens that give information about the game including the main features as discussed above. You can also view the coin payout levels for the number of matching symbols on a pay line along with a grid view of how the wins are generated. These screens help familiarise you with the game and what you need to do to get the best wins possible.

Is Rocky the right video slot for you?

The Rocky video slot has a theoretical RTP (return to player) of 95.02% giving a house edge of 4.98%. We tested the game over 100 spins at a £1 cost per spin and found the game to be a medium variance slot. As we played we never had a dry spell of more than 7 spins without a win and at times these wins could be quite good.

You will enjoy playing the Rocky slot if you prefer branded film themed slots that have a slightly extended gameplay and with features that can generate a large win. You may have to wait a while for the free spins bonus or the knockout bonus to land but generally, it is worth the wait. If you have a free casino bonus available then this may be worth using here to get to the bonus features.
