Rocky Pokie Review
Rocky is part of the Hollywood movie theme series of pokies that have been released by Playtech. It is based on the most popular boxing movie franchise of all time with Sylvester Stallone playing the lead as Rocky Balboa in the first of several films starting with Rocky in 1976. The idea of a boxing theme pokie is not new with Aristocrats Prize Fight being a popular dollar machine for many years.
Playtech have done a great job with the Rocky theme. You have symbols on the reels that include Rocky, Adrian, Pauly, Clubber Lang (Mr T), Apollo Creed and Ivan Drago. You also have the letters R. O, C, K and Y instead of the usual A, K, Q, J, 10. The game also has two great features both of which include video clips from the films.
Rocky is a 25 line game so you are looking at betting at least $0.25 to play all lines. You can bet up to 10 credits per line so on the one cent version you can play for as little as $0.25 or as much as $2.50. If you prefer to bet bigger you can select from a range of credit sizes going right up to $1.
On the reels the Rocky symbol is wild and substitutes for everything but the scattered Rocky logos, the Bonus Gloves and the ROCKY Feature. Get five of the wild Rocky symbols on any of the 25 lines and you win a big 10,000 credits multiplied by your bet per line. At max bet this pays up to 100,000 credits.
After the big win for the five wilds there are still quite a few big pays with the Ivan Drago, Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang symbols offering the best pays. Then you have Adrian and Pauly followed by the pays for the R, O, C, K and Y symbols. Overall there are a lot of good pays on the reels.
Rocky has three features to look out for. The first is a reel based feature where if you spell Rocky with the letter symbols in any positions on reels one through five you win five times your total bet. This is not the biggest win but it does occur quite frequently and it is a novel way to win.
The second feature on Rocky is the Knockout Bonus. This is triggered by getting a boxing glove anywhere on reels 1 and 5 at the same time. You then move to a selection stage where you get to pick who you will fight. After you have made your selection you move to the ring where your selection fights it out with Rocky.
Each round of the bonus shows a clip from the film and each round that Rocky wins awards you 3X your total bet. There are ten rounds so the maximum you can win from this bonus is 30X your total bet. If Rocky knocks out his opponent you win all rounds after the knockout.
The final feature on Rocky is the free spins. You win this feature by getting three, four or five scattered Rocky logos anywhere on the reels. You win 15, 20 or 25 free games with all wins doubled. During the feature more wild Rocky symbols are added to the reels so the chances of hitting a big win are increased. The feature can also be won on the feature for unlimited free games.
If you like doubling up your wins then you can also choose to try your luck with a red or black gamble feature. You can keep doubling up until you reach the casinos set gamble limit. This limit varies from casino to casino and can be found in the game rules section.
Rocky is a great addition to the online pokies range at Playtech casinos. It captures the theme very well and offers a good range of ways to win with a variety of features.
