Rocky is the most popular boxing film franchise of all time, chalking up an impressive five films. It’s not surprising that Playtech wanted to get hold of the rights to produce the Rocky video slot and by golly are we glad they did. The slot features all the heavy hitters from the film and produces more excitement than Rocky himself via an upbeat soundtrack, Italian Stallion free spins, wild wins and a knockout bonus round.

Rocky Slot Theme

The Rocky slot is exactly what you’d expect, only better. A simple red and white graphic flanks the revolving Rocky Logo whilst the five reels dominate the screen. Various option buttons are located beneath in a clear and understandable way.

Due to the sheer size of the reels it was important that Playtech got the icons right. They really have hit the ground running with this one by including integral characters from the most popular films combined with other items and red, white and blue ROCKY letters. Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, Adrain, Pauly and Rocky all make an appearance on the reels with genuine video scenes from their respective films playing when a winning combination is formed.

Playtech slots allow gamblers to produce bets by adjusting the coin value, bet per line and number of lines per spin. This ensures players can place a precise bet matched to their needs ranging from 1 penny to $1,250.

Rocky Slot Features

Rocky acts as a wild symbol which means his symbol can substitute for all others excluding the scatter and bonus. It also produces an impressive animation and can trigger other key characters movie snippets too.

When a bonus icon appears on reels one and five simultaneously the bonus round is awarded. You first choose your opponent; Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago or Clubber Lang in which to face in a ten round fight. You receive a bonus for each round won with the final round resulting in a knock out. Should Rocky knock an opponent out before the final round all previous rounds are also given to him along with additional prizes.

Producing ROCKY across the five reels multiplies any win by five, revolving each of the letters until they line up in the centre. This can occur during normal play and free spins.

Free games are awarded when three or more scatters appear. You receive 15 free spins for 3 icons, 20 free spins for 4 icons and 25 free spins for 5 icons. The reels change colour as the round plays with a double multiplier being applied to all spins. Every character icon also plays a different cut scene when involved in a winning combination and 3 more scattered icons can award another fifteen free spins during the game.

The final feature can be applied to any win under $2,500. This lights up the gamble button which allows you to guess the next suit color, which if successful doubles your win.

Fans of the Rocky films will love this slot as it really does fit the franchise well. The general look and feel is perfect and the bonus games are equally good. The fact there is a 10,000 coin jackpot is just the icing on the cake.
