Multi Strike Feature in WagerWorks Slots

0 Comments   Email   Print

At first it may seem that online slot games are not amenable to as many fundamental innovations as some of the other casino games and that variety has been created by tweaking the themes and payout tables. But from time to time online gaming software developers have come up with fundamentally different structures that make the slot games stand out. WagerWorks is a software developer does this regularly. It has innovations like Tumbling Reels and Split Symbols to its credit. Another innovation is the Multi Strike feature that has been incorporated in a slot game called Elvis Multi Strike. Multi Strike is like playing up to three slot games in one with the opportunity to multiply payline wins as the player progresses from one set of reels to the next.

Elvis Multi Strike has 60 paylines, with 20 paylines on each set of reels. If players activate 20 paylines or less then they are restricting themselves to the first set of reels only. If players activate more than 20 paylines but up to 40 paylines they give themselves a chance to play on two sets of reels one after another. And if players activate more than 40 paylines but up to 60 paylines they give themselves a chance to play on all three sets of reels one after another. Using the payline controls players can select from 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 paylines. If players select 35 paylines then they will play the first set of reels with all 20 paylines enabled but the second set of reels with only 15 paylines enabled. All three sets of reels face a common payout table. They have identical symbols on the reels. But there is one major difference. If the second set of reels gets activated then the player wins twice the payouts specified in the payout table for wins in the second set of reels. And if the third set of reels gets activated then the player wins four times the payouts specified in the payout table for wins in the third set of reels.

The players do not automatically progress from one set of reels to the next in the spin. One of two conditions has to be met. The first condition is that the player should receive payout wins. If the player achieves any winning combination in the first set of reels he will move to the second set. The same applies for the transition from the second to the third set. If the player does not win in the first set of reels then the spin is over even if all 60 paylines have been activated. The wager for the balance paylines is then lost without a try. This is to compensate for the multiplied payouts in the higher reels.

The Multi Strike feature can also be triggered through a free ride. In Elvis Multi Strike the free ride is earned with any combination of a total of three Photo Bonus and Wild Bonus symbols, in any position on the reels. For example this could be one Photo Bonus symbol and two Wild Bonus symbols or three Wild Bonus symbols or any other combination.

Elvis Multi Strike can be played at all WagerWorks online casinos. CasinoAdvisor recommends Virgin Casino.
