Joker’s Wild Multi-Level Progressives
February 5, 2009
The Joker’s Wild Multi-Level Progressives system is IGT’s
first REELdepth MLP theme built for the G MLD Upright. Offering five
winner-take-all progressives, this game features 3-D Expanding Wilds, a scatter
pays top award, and a bonus feature unlike anything in the industry. Debuting
at release are two base games: Categories and Prizes Video Slots.
Categories is a 5-reel, 40-payline game
and Prizes is a 5-reel, MultiWay theme with 243 ways to win. Each features a
200-credit maximum bet ideal for penny or 2-cent denominations, and can be
linked for multi-level progressive game play using the IGT Progressive
Controller. This new theme also employs Easy Bet wagering, simplifying game
play. Frequent LCD celebration animations maintain player interest, and the
overhead signage package features dancing The Joker’s Wild symbols.
The bonus round showcases the
innovative, animated, 3-D bonus reels. Players are awarded Free Games and can
win up to five progressive levels in a “winner-takes-all” fashion. The bonus is
triggered when the Joker symbol lands anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. When the
bonus feature begins, players automatically win the Bronze level progressive, and
anytime the Joker symbol appears, the credit win is doubled. Free Games credits
won during bonus play advance the player to the next progressive level. The
Joker’s Wild feature ends when the Devil symbol lands anywhere on the bonus
wheel or players achieve the Platinum level. Players collect their winnings and
are returned to the base game.
