People who are fond of horse-racing know the thrill behind this type of gambling. However, you don’t always have the means or the will to dress up and go to a horse race. Realtime Gaming thought of that, too. So they made a colorful new slot, which will satisfy your taste for horse-racing suspense and winning anticipation – “Derby Dollars.”

It’s not unusual for RTG to introduce us to some great graphics. “Derby Dollars,” a 5-reel, 20-line progressive slot, is no exception. Featuring some of the symbols characteristic for this theme (horses, jockeys, elegant ladies, binoculars, etc.), as well as some elegantly-shaped poker symbols, this slot also includes some cool sounds to mark your winning spins. And there are also always desireable free spins, a wild and scatter symbol, and a multiplier that should help you boost your balance.

As for the coin value, it ranges from $0.01 to $5, so if you decide to play on all 20 lines, you can spend anywhere between $0.20 and $100. The maximum number of coins you may win looks lucky itself – 3333, and when you add the constantly growing progressive jackpot to this count, there’ll be no end to your urge to keep playing.

Wild Symbol:

As it suits the theme of this slot, a horse represents its substitute symbol. It will replace any other symbol except the scattered coins to help you form a winning combination. So keep an eye for those, as they can be of much help when you lack just that one symbol to get a big prize.

Scatter Symbol:

In my personal opinion, there should be no rule as to in which order scatter symbols should appear on the reels in order to get a bonus round or free spins. I always thought that such rules kill the meaning of the ‘scatter’ characteristic of the symbols. And that’s why I wasn’t very fond of the scatter system applied here – in order to win some free spins, you need to strike 2, 3, 4, or all 5 scattered coins from left to right. That way you’d get 5, 10, 15 or 25 free games, respectively. But the good thing is that only two scattered coins can still win you some spins. And while those free spins are turning, anything you win will be tripled, and you can see some more horses and coins on the reels. You can also get additional free spins while playing the current ones. So, I guess all these additional benefits in a way compensate for the above mentioned rule.

Progressive Jackpot:

This ever-desired prize can come to you randomly, at the closure of each game. And if you get so lucky to win it, you will see it added to your other winnings.

To sum up all impressions, I felt pretty good playing this slot. It was almost as not playing a slot, but cheering for your favorite at a horse race. And despite the little remark I had about the scatter symbol, I still think this slot is something that should be given a chance, if for nothing else, because you just never know what’s in it for you.
