The Big Easy Fruit Machine, £70 Jackpot
|
The Big Easy - Electrocoin
Cat C - £70 Jackpot, 25p, 50p, £1 stake
|
Although housed in the typically ugly Bell Fruit cabinet, The Big Easy is a machine from Electrocoin. It stands out in the fact that Electrocoin rarely make £70 jackpot pub based fruit machines. Instead, they rather prefer the easy life of creating lo-tech Bar-X type machines. In fact I believe that their last machine of this type was the players favourite, High Stakes.
Even so, this is a good come-back and is proving very popular, finding its way into many pub locations up and down the country.
The theme of the machine is New Orleans jazz music, although the play borrows heavily from several much earlier £35 machines.
The game is reasonably enjoyable, with feature entry obtained through an accumulation of numbers above eight (numbers are doubled on £1 play), or from wins on one or more of the five win-lines.
A pleasing aspect to this game is a losing fruit win gamble still lets you exchange for the feature, just at a lower point. So unlike Shoot for the Stars which annoyingly auto-collects, you can play the game on here without being forced low value wins that get you nowhere.
The game has a Deal or No Deal style feature (although you are left with the final value, not an earlier selection), that is accessed from collecting at least three musical notes. This will then open the top board which can be collected at any time. Five musical notes will upgrade the feature to super, this will eliminate six of the lowest value wins. One more musical note (so six in total), will further upgrade the feature to mega. Again, this will eliminate a further six of the lowest values. One more note again (seven in total), will upgrade the feature for the final time to hyper. Leaving only six of the highest value wins available: £70, £50, £40, £30, £20, £15.
The game has three mega type jackpot features available. Two on the feature board, and one at the top of the cash ladder. There is also a £70 cash shot. The two on the feature board can both be turned red, allowing for a winning potential of £210, and a minimum of £70.
The game itself plays pretty well, and accumulates nicely should you want to force it. As the game is new, additional information maybe needed. Please feel free to comment below.
