I bet there is no person in this world who, at least at some point in their life, did not wish they were a Big Shot, with its VIP status and glam. Now, with RTG’s finest, everyone has a chance to feel like a Big Shot. And the luckiest ones will as well turn into one.

“Big Shot” is a 5-reel, 20-line slot with a progressive jackpot, and a Hollywood-like theme. It features fantastic music and characters which largely add to its authenticity. So, come on in, and you’ll get a chance to hang out with Mr. Superstar and his date, their sports car, Award symbol and all the common poker symbols. As an addition which should make your balance grow sky-high, “Big Shot” also includes a Wild Symbol, a Scatter Symbol, a multiplier and some cool free spins.

As for the betting amount, you’ve got a range of choices. The value of the coins ranges from $0.01 to $5, and as you may play on all $20 lines, you can spend as much as $100 on a single spin. And even though this may seem like a significant sum, if you hit the right combination, you’ll actually earn some ‘Big’ money.

Wild Symbol:

Mr. Superstar is the wild symbol of this slot. It substitutes for all other symbols, with the exception of “Big Shot” symbols and Award scatters, and you can get it only on reels 2, 3, and 4. There is also a side substitute, the “Big Shot” symbol, which is used as such during free spins.

Scatter Symbol:

Scatter symbols in “Big Shot” are Awards, and they may appear anywhere on the reels and form a winning combination. The winnings derived from them will be multiplied by the amount of your bet.

Free spins:

Now, this is the feature I was a bit disappointed with. As a matter of fact, while I was playing this slot, which lasted a couple of hrs, I never got any free spins. And it’s not just a lack of luck. It’s because the chances of triggering this feature are slimmer than usual. And this is why: Free spins will be activated if you get “Big Shot” symbols on reels 1 and 5. Usually, this feature is triggered by a scatter symbol, or some other symbol, anywhere on the reels. Therefore, the chance of getting the feature is a couple of times smaller. However, if you do get it, you’ll be awarded with either 5, 7, 10, 15, or 25 free games. And free spins also draw a multiplier, so winnings in each spin are multiplied by its number (in the first by one, the second by two, etc.). And here’s where the Big Shot symbol serves as a substitute, and helps form a winning combination.

Progressive Jackpot:

This is the sum in the middle of the screen, right above the reels, which just keeps going higher. You can win it at the end of each game, and it will just be added to your other winnings.

Its small drawbacks aside, I found this game very refreshing. At first I thought this theme won’t be my cup of tea, but after playing it for a while, I figured I was caught and actually enjoying my very own cup of Hollywood.
