Derby Dollars Slots
Overview
Full Review
A horseracing slots experience
The time has come for the famous Kentucky Derby to be run. This is one of the best known horse races, and Derby Dollars Slots is the game that captures the colours, flair and, most importantly, the gambling culture and sense of fortunes available to be won that is associated with horseracing, the King of Sports.
This high action video slots game provides 5 reels and 20 pay lines of thrills and potential jackpots.
The maximum coin bet is one per pay line, which, considering the range of coin values available, will suit a broad spectrum of gamblers, from conservative penny pinchers to thrill-seeking high rollers.
Derby Dollars Slots runs on the Real Time Gaming software platform, so players can have absolute confidence in the smooth functionality of the game, its rich graphics and the accompanying sound effects, and, in this case, the wonderful horseracing environment.
Game strategy at the starting gate
The reel symbols used in this game include horse owner, jockey, trophy and binoculars. The top card symbols (nine, ten, jack, queen, king and ace) fill up the rest of the reels and make up the core winning combinations. However, Derby Dollars Slots has a variety of extras that transform this game into an exciting action-filled gambling event, and these include Wild symbols, Scatter symbols, Skill Stop features, free game bonuses, and a Random Progressive Jackpot.
Big winning symbols
The Wild symbol is the Racehorse icon. Substituting for all other symbols, apart from the Scatter symbol, in creating winning combinations, this is clearly the symbol to look out for once the reels start spinning.
The Scatter symbol is a mesmerising Gold Coin icon. Its arrival is heralded with all due fanfare and sound effects, and finding 2 or more of these icons anywhere on the reels in consecutive order will trigger the Free Game Bonus game. The number of free spins available to players is dependent on the number of Gold Coin icons, and when all 5 appear, this translates to 25 free spins!
Of note is the fact that scatter awards are independent of pay line wins, and therefore, should these wins occur simultaneously, they are added and cumulative. During the Free Game Bonus, all winnings are trebled and additional Racehorse (Wild) and Gold Coin (Scatter) icons are added to the reels. Also, all bets and activated pay lines are transferred directly from the game during which the Free Game Bonus was won. Any free spins won during the Bonus game are also cumulative, so with some luck, this game rapidly leads to major riches being accumulated. Much like horseracing, in fact!
The Skills Stop additional feature adds serious fun
Real Time Gaming slots have a Skill Stop Spin Feature to add an element of skill to what is normally regarded as a game of luck. During regular game play, players of Derby Dollars Slots can select to utilise this feature simply by pressing the ‘Stop’ button, thereby stopping the reels immediately.
All the reels are affected by this action, which may help in creating winning combinations or activating the bonus feature.
As can be expected, the ‘Autoplay’ feature is available on Derby Dollars Slots game too, for advanced players in a winning frame of mind.
