Would you like to try win some cash?

The Rocky slot machine has certainly stood the test of time, and can still be found on every FOBT in many top betting shops, and in most amusement arcades up and down the country. Found on the Triple Seven cabinets in arcades, and the various fixed odds betting terminals in at larger bookies and some independents. Although the percentage has mostly dropped from the initial 94% of its initial release, you can still find these on 92% in most bookies, and either 90% or 92% in the arcades. If you play these regularly you really should play the highest percentages, as the extra percentage will result in more features and more wins in the long run.

Rocky Slot is a standard £500 jackpot slot machine, featuring progressive pots, 20 win-lines, multiple stakes and a free spins bonus, as well as a gamble feature that can be activated from any win. The progressive pot feature is the standard amongst the Barcrest £500 fruit machines, with a gold, silver and bronze available within the free spins bonus. The game’s popularity often allows for the pots to progress to playable levels, and the apparent ease for which you can get them lends to continued play. Although I suspect the odds on winning any of the pots is the same as that on similar games, such as Rainbow Riches, the free spins feature tends to make it appear the chances of winning it are easier. The frequent appearance of one of the pots during the free spins bonus gives the impression that it is easy to get, leading to near misses, and an assumption of ‘if only I picked that one’. Although it is not a certainty, I get the impression that the value of the feature is determined at the start, and any selections during the free spins game are merely pseudo selections.

The bonus game is triggered via three gold tokens on reels one, three, and five. This will then offer fifteen free spins, with all the reel wins doubled. The free spins bonus can be activated multiple times, offering the chance of the progressive pot, or up to ninety free spins. The bonus game can offer a maximum of the jackpot, at which point the free spins bonus will end. Pick Me Bonus: The pick me bonus is available during the free spins bonus only. It is activated via three bonus symbols on the center reels and gives a choice of a selection of one of the three. These are either cash values or one of the progressive pots. Once selected, the remainder of the free spins are used, unless you have reached the £500 limit. It is very likely that the selection is pseudo random, and the outcome of the feature is probably predetermined at the start of the free spins bonus.
This feature can be offered multiple times during the free spins bonus.
