Rambo (Stakelogic)

Introducing Rambo slot machine

You may initial think of Rocky Balboa the infamous boxing legend when you hear the name Rambo, however this slot is based around the film series where Sylvester Stallone plays the character of John Rambo, the Vietnam war veteran. To date there have been four films in this series with the original three debuting in the 1980s and the latest film “Rambo” debuted in 2008 and it is this film that the slot is modelled on. There are four separate jackpots on offer in this slot as well as a free spins feature with a difference but the most acclaimed feature of this slot is that you have 720 ways to win and reels that you will never have seen before!

If you have not seen the Rambo films, I will fill you in quickly, Stallone aka Rambo goes on a solo mission and the symbols you will see on the reels reflect this perfectly. You will come across hand grenades, ammunition, knives, armoured cars, and the man himself, Rambo.

Theme and Design

The reels are set amidst an orange grassed scene which gives the slot a very earthy feeling, and every time you land a winning combination the symbols become very animated which really bring the slot to life. In the background you will occasionally hear sirens and gunfire whilst playing the game, and every spin has a mechanical clunk sound which evokes warfare.

Game Play & Mechanics

The first thing you will notice when you come to play Rambo the slot is that the five reels take on a very different appearance to the usual reel layout that you might be used to. The 1st and 5th reels have three symbols, the 2nd and 4th reels have four symbols whilst the 3rd reel has five symbols. Across all the reels you then have 720 ways to win. This then means that should you land a symbol on a minimum of three rows next to each other from left to right and you are guaranteed to land a win. The 720 lines will cost you 50 credits and you have to choose the value of your coins from one cent upwards and the jackpot amounts change to be in line with the coin value that you choose.

The highest paying symbol in the game is an armoured car which is worth 500 coins if you manage to land five in a row. The snake comes in at 100 coins whilst the ammunition and knife both pay out 50 coins. These symbols are then joined with the standard symbols which are the usual playing card symbols 9 through to Ace. The Rambo wild can substitute for all the other symbols apart from the scatter and the progressive jackpots to create winning combinations.

There is also a really useful auto spin feature which means that you only have to hit the button and you can sit back and watch the game unfold before you until the feature ends or you choose to hit the stop button.

Game Features

If you are looking to land one of the four jackpots you need to land the all-important hand grenade symbol. This is effectively the games scatter and this needs to land at least five times across your reels and you will end up in the jackpot areas. The four jackpots pay outs are the Stealth, Bravery, Honour and Explosive, and these will pay out when you land 5, 6, 7 or 8 grenades, respectively. The Explosive Jackpot is the highest payer of them all.

Next is the Rambo Slot Free Spins which is activated by landing three or more of the Rambo scatters. If you land the minimum of three scatters you are rewarded with 5 free spins and for every additional scatter that you land you will amass a further 5 spins. You will also be given an immediate win of 5x, 10x or 15x your total stake based on the number of scatters you land.

Before the start of your free spins, all the standard symbols in the slot show on the horizontal reel with the symbols that rotate from right to left. When this stops, the chosen symbol becomes an expanding symbol on one of the reels for your free spins and when then expand to take up a lot of the slot, which when combined with the wilds and the 720 ways to win can mean that you are in for some massive wins. When this feature starts the choice of expanding symbol in the beginning is important as you will want to land the higher symbols to be your expanding ones.

Final Verdict

When it comes to successful film franchises the Rambo series is one of the best made and therefore by transferring this subject to a slot it was always going to be a success provided it was done properly, and you will soon see that although it may have been a difficult job, iSoftbet really have made it look simple.

Any slot that can offer 720 ways to win is always going to be a favourite amongst players, I particularly liked the way the reels were set up so differently to the norm as this made the slot feel unique and this plus the free spins with expanding symbols really did it for me. Whilst I played, I hit several wins and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed the gameplay and the whole slot overall. The only negative (which isn’t really a negative) I could find is that there is no bonus games outside the reels which did come as a big surprise, but with the four different jackpots on offer they soon made up for this.

Rambo is an excellent slot that I would highly recommend to all players, give it a spin and I really do not think you will be disappointed.
