The Rat Pack Pokies

The gang of Sinatra, Davis Jr, Martin, Bishop and Lawford, which once ruled Hollywood and fundamentally changed the way Hollywood did business both on and off-screen, is back again. They’re in the mood for the old-school feeling, that of grooving to swing music, playfulness and of course, gambling big. Translated into an actual slot machine game, this means the ability to sweep in high molar on a game that doesn’t require that much money to be put in. How large you ask – well, the bounty goes up to $25,000~

More About The Rat Pack Pokie

Distributed over five payreels, the Rat Pack Theme is well orchestrated throughout the game. However, many of the stars who feature in this ensemble cast aren’t Hollywood actor material; in fact they aren’t really humans. Yes, in the vein of playfulness, Microgaming has starred five rats on Rat Pack. Of course, the ambience is very much there – the authentic stage backgrounds are true to the performance of the gamed Rat Pack gang, who ruled the show in bars and Casinos across the Nevada desert.

The characters: an homage to the golden days of Hollywood

Here’s a little more on the all-too-adorable characters before we find out about the game. The five rats include singers, a piano man and backup singers. Along with them are the conventional card game symbols of Jack, queen, Kings and Aces. The Microgame way is to shower players with a cocktail combination of luck and excitement throughout the way. There’s the usual expected coterie of Wild and Scatter that multiply your wins like crazy.

The Rat pack loves to celebrate your wins – each time you score a combo, all the entertainers explode into animation and fireworks. That’s not all – there’s a plethora of music and sound being performed on your every move, perfectly blending in and popping out of the old-school swing-town music number.

The gameplay: simultaneously old school and playful

Coins, lines and coin values come together to make up the total amount being bet. Players can put different coin values on the line. Don’t worry about the budget – you can start betting with as low as 0.01, and if you’re pretty sure of Lady Luck that day, you can go up all the way to $75. The interface to input the specific you like is easy to understand and is convenient.

A combination of coin values, lines and coins per line are used to form the total bet.

And, if you want to step up your game, there’s the all-too-familiar expert mode that pops up in rocking Microgaming titles like Cashapillar. Unlike a lethal all guns blazing videogame’s expert mode, Expert Mode on the Rat Pack isn’t going to punish you with a rough road – it’s all cruising on this street, and it simply adds auto play. Additionally, you can also unlock automatic turns in the expert mode.

Keep an eye for these wild symbols on the Rat Pack. The Rat Pack logo obviously is itself a successful replacement for most other logos, and delivers exponential gains. The bounty is huge – you can haul in a treasure chest sized bounty of 30,000 coins – keeps an eye out for multiple symbols making their appearance on the reels. And, with the symbals, you can access the free spins, which in turn has a feature in it for even more evens – the nudge. However, this happens more out of a fluke than anything else.

Conclusion: It’s a wild party

The Rat Pack were the original rock stars of Hollywood once upon a time, and they’re still alive and kicking to liven up our sundry gambling experience on the slots. The Rat Pack is a fun, playful, and will have you singing not only all the way to the bank, but also on your journey to fill up your pockets. For the night, you will definitely feel like a member of the Rat Pack, and the funny sound effects, and the authentically themed animations (the golden card symbols, girls, and jazz piano) it is one long party that should not end.
