This is a video slot game that celebrates everything that makes America great. It's heavy on Americana and national pride, and it's loads of fun to play.
Everything about this game screams USA! USA! We've got the proud Eagle. We've got the Statue of Liberty. We've got hot dogs, burgers and fries, cold beer, roast turkey, and Oreo cookies. Heck, we've even got apple pie - you can't get more American than that.
This is a game for both timid beginners and serious highrollers because it lets you scale your bets, starting at one penny for first timers and rolling up to a dollar for the bold and the brave. With a max coin count of 250, things can get pretty breathtaking at the top end of this game.
It has five reels and 25 pay lines, and you can activate or deactivate as many as you feel like on any given spin. There's also free practice mode if you just want to check the game out. Be warned, though, the jackpot is a massively high 50,000 coins - and how dumb would you feel if you hit it while playing for free?
When spinning the reels, the Stars & Stripes symbol is Wild. You can use it to complete any activated pay line, the value of which it will also double.
The Scatter symbol is a good old American football - get three or more of these and you win.
But what you're really after is three or more of Uncle Sam's hat, on any reels. Get this and you launch the bonus game, which is where you can get seriously paid.
The bonus game is a simple "pick the hat" game. There are free coins hidden under the hats on screen, all you have to do is select which one you want and your prize will be revealed.
The reason this stage is so crucial is that under one of the hats is the mother lode: 47,500 coins! Imagine if you hit that while playing one dollar coins!
Bars and Stripes is one of my favourite games, and I'd recommend it to any slots fan.
