The Rat Pack Slots

There aren't many slot machines out there which give centre stage to rats, and that is probably for a very good reason. But, if you have a sense of humour and a love of 1960s razzmatazz, then you will love this slot machine from Microgaming.

Get ready to meet some very swish ratty characters, all of which are based on the original Rat Pack of the 60s with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin. The graphics are suitably cartoon based to match the game's comical theme and there is also some lovely background lounge jazz and swing to add a little bit of glitz and glam to the action.

Players can win up to 30,000 credits by spinning the 5 reels of this 30-payline slot machine. So, if you are lucky enough the win the jackpot then you will be able to add a little bit of glitz and glam to your own life.

So easy a rodent could play it

As with many Microgaming slot machines, The Rat Pack is incredibly straightforward to play. There may be a daunting amount of paylines involved on this 5x4 slot machine, but all of the pay lines are available to study in depth on the game's help pages. You can also find out how much each symbol is worth by clicking them as they appear on the reels.

There are only 3 things that you need to toggle with in order to change the size of the bet that you place down as a stake. First of all, you will need to decide how many of the 30 pay lines that you want to have in play. You can decrease or increase the number by clicking the (-) and (+) buttons beneath the “Lines” option. Then you will need to choose the amount of coins that will be placed on each active line. Again, you just have to toggle the controls beneath “Coins” to change this. Finally, select the size of coins that you want to bet with by fiddling with the buttons next to the purple coin emblem in the bottom left hand corner of the game screen.

It's as easy as that. You can play around with these controls until you find the total bet amount that best suits your game plan. There is plenty of scope for bettors of all levels as you can put down stakes from as little as 0.01 per spin to as much as 75.00 per spin.

Bash the cymbal symbol

The Rat Pack features a whole gang of ratty characters as well as a number of special symbols. Perhaps the most fruitful of these icons is the cymbal image which acts as the slot machine's scatter symbol. This icon does become very profitable indeed when three or more appear on the reels. Not only because it will pay out regardless of whether it is on a pay line or not, but also because it will trigger a round of bonus free spins.

This bonus round is a little bit different than most free spin games out there. That is because during the free spins, only the scattering cymbal counts towards boosting your cash. What happens is this: all of the cymbals that appeared on the reels to activate the free spins will be held in place and then nudged down one reel position for each consecutive free spin. The reels which aren't holding any cymbals will spin as normal unless another cymbal appears and is held.

These cymbals keep bashing and thrashing their way down the reels until none are left. Once they have all gone, the free spins will end and you will most likely be taking away a very tidy sum of dosh!

Double wilds, double the fun

This game is also home to two wild symbols. The first of these wild symbols will double your win when it substitutes for all other symbols except for the scattering cymbal. The other wild symbol is represented by the game's title and it is actually the most valuable icon in the entire game, offering up to 5000 for 5 on a pay line. This symbol also completes any winning combination for all normal game symbols, excluding the 2x wild and scattering cymbal.

Boost your bounty with a gamble

If you're not satisfied with your wins, then you can always take a risk with the slot machine's gamble game. It's really simple to play – you just have to guess the colour or suit of a turned over playing EuroMania Casino. Guess the right colour and you will double your winnings. Guess the right suit and you will quadruple your winnings. Do you have the nerve to take the game to a whole new level of risk?

You'll never be happier to see a rat than when playing this slot...

This slot machine certainly offers up quite a unique novelty theme which will surely attract many punters, even despite its rodent characters! The game itself is pleasant to play with its silly graphics and compelling musical score. There are sufficient bonus features to keep players on their toes, including a double-whammy of wild symbols. So, you'll more likely be shrieking in delight than shrieking in fright with this fun-filled ratty game. Play today and start spreading the news.
