Do you know the meaning of the expression “Tally-ho”? This phrase was commonly used during the Second World War by the British pilots, to say that they spotted an enemy plane. This use prevails today, as well, and works for both ground and air targets. When you know the meaning of this expression, it’s easy to guess the theme of Realtime Gaming’s excellent slot – “Tally-ho.”

Despite the theme, which is commonly related to army and war, this five-reel progressive video slot is quite cheerful and brings out the best of its theme. Heavenly blue skies with green military planes on them dominate this theme. And even though you can’t say it’s colorful, it’s still bright, and all the greens and blues give away the feeling that you’re a part of an aircraft fleet, making you seem valiant and patriotic to yourself. Apart from the aircrafts, there are other symbols which complement “Tally-ho’s” theme – roundels, medals, beautiful uniformed girls, as well as military-styled poker symbols. To add to its charms, there are special features which will reward your loyalty to the army: wild symbol, scatter symbol, a great number of free spins, as well as multipliers.

It’s way easier to play this game than to learn to pilot a plane from the complicated cockpit. In “Tally-ho” you just have to set the number of lines to play on (the maximum is 20), as well as the coin amount, which can go from $0.01 to $5. Combining those two, you’ll get your bet amount, which can be quite high, up to $100 per spin. But no worries, the army knows no differences, so in this case too, you’ll get a chance to win the top prize no matter what your bet amount is. Progressive jackpot will tempt you, growing right before your eyes, and there’s a chance to win it after each spin.

Wild Symbol:

If you lack only one symbol to form a winning combination, a pilot as a wild symbol will come in handy. Pilots replace all other symbols except scatters, and they can be seen on reels 2, 3 and 4. Unfortunately, no multiplier comes along with them, so we could say this is somewhat of a downside.

Scatter Symbol:

“Tally-ho” has one worthy feature, triggered by roundels as scatter symbols. You need three or more of those anywhere on the reels in order to get a free spin feature. The feature is quite generous, as it gives as much as 25 free spins, in which all prizes will be tripled. And the best thing of all is that those free spins can be retriggered, to give you a chance to boost your balance up to the sky!

“Tally-ho” may seem a bit strict, and if you’re a big fan of bright and colorful slots, you may want to try something else. However, if you’re up for a good game, with all the usual assets, try “Tally-ho.” It may not be something special and out of the ordinary, but it’s a highly rewarding game with a theme that cannot be seen every day.
