Silent Screen Slot Machine
Ah, the Silent Screen is one of those slots that will take you down memory lane, as far back as the age of silent movies. For those who have no idea what a silent film is, it is a movie with no spoken dialogue or synchronized recorded sound. The idea of having sound accompany motion pictures is nearly as old as the idea itself, but because of technical issues that were persistent in that era, the idea would only become practical in the late 1920s and among the very first films to have synchronized sounds was The Jazz Singer that was released in 1927.
Meanwhile, in this new age of technological advancement, the production of silent films has totally ceased. But the memories live on in Amaya’s the Silent Screen slot game, a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot available for real money or free play online at Internet casinos supporting the Amaya software platform. In the Silent Screen slot, Amaya pays tribute to the wonderful and classic silent movie era that saw such legendary works of art as The Artist and Singin’ in the Rain.
Shhhhh….
All the symbols in this slot, apart from the poker card values, relate to the theme and include the Actress, the Movie Camera, the Director, the Actor, Film Slate, and Cars.
Feature Friendly
The Actress is wild, and she substitutes all other symbols on the reels apart from the scattered Cameras. Besides being wild, the Actress is also the highest paying symbol with 5 of her images in a line paying out 5,000X your line bet. This will of course translate to 100,000 coins if you are playing at the maximum 20.00 coins per line.
Meanwhile, 3 or more Cameras scattered anywhere on the reels will trigger 15 free spins with all winnings tripled, and this feature can be retriggered.
Randomly Trigger the Movie Mayhem Jackpot
As you start to spin the reels, you will notice up to 4 jackpot amounts that are displayed atop the reels. These jackpots are awarded randomly. Select up to 6 items to find the Movie Tickets to reveal corresponding jackpot amounts; the higher the Tickets, the higher the jackpot.
The Movie Mayhem Jackpot cannot be won during the Free Spins feature.
Accommodating Limits
Silent Screen is acceptable for low-limit and high rollers, alike, as it is a very versatile slot in terms of betting range, with a low bet on all lines set at 0.25 and a max bet on all lines worth 500.00.
In Closing
Any big fan of movies will quickly fall in love with the Silent Screen slot. A better bonus round than free spins would have improved this game, but it is what it is. The Movie Mayhem Jackpot will trigger quite often, but not the top jackpot, obviously. Nonetheless, the gameplay is solid, and the graphics are acceptable. The sound effects are a bit clumsy, closely resembling the 1920s films. If you are looking for movie-themed slots, Superman: Last Son of Krypton by Amaya or Betsoft’s At the Movies slot are good options to check out.
