Hellcatraz is a slot machine that very closely resembles a video game. Its graphics and sound effects are reminiscent of console games of the 1980s. The game is a cartoonish take on the infamous San Francisco Bay Alcatraz prison. It is set on the island where the prison is found.
Graphics & Symbols
The backdrop of Hellcatraz shows the fictionalized prison on the island it occupies, with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the distant background. Seen on the reels, which are held up by two stone walls, are prisoners, sharks, and guards. Other symbols used include a badge and handcuffs. The wild symbol is a large “W.”Unlike some other slots, this one has a mystery symbol.
Before the game starts, players have two modes to choose from. One is mixed mode and the other is lockdown mode. This is where the mystery symbols come into play. When players choose lockdown mode the mystery symbols act as a blocker that make the game more high volatile than it would be otherwise. To avoid this, players can instead choose mixed.
Bonus Features
Once gameplay has begun, cascading reels are introduced. This is a feature where when a winning combination of symbols is achieved, they disappear and more symbols take their place automatically. Until symbols drop that do not result in a winning combination, players can just sit back and watch. When the cascading reels have concluded players must pay for another spin too continue the game.
There are certain symbols that will appear on the reels with a golden key displayed over them. Keys are worth anywhere from one to 10 points each. On the left side of the reels players will see a meter. The meter is used to hold the keys as they appear. Players must accumulate 2000 points for keys to activate five free spins, which are called Super Free Games.
Free spins include mystery symbols. While those symbols are timed by a countdown during normal gameplay, the free spins bonus is different. Players may also see the golden scatter symbol on the reels during the bonus feature. Two golden scatters in a row while cascading reels are in place leads to an additional two free spins for players.
One other feature that some players enjoy is the buy feature. By spending 200 times the amount of their initial bet, players can buy the opportunity to have free spins.
