The Great Escape Slots
Having a slot machine the same name as an internationally successful film isn’t a feat that many gaming brands could pull off, but Casino Web Scripts manages to it with minimal effort. The Great Escape has a similar theme to the wartime based film, but with a contemporary hard edge that makes it easier to relate to.
Slot machines that you can pick up and discard just as easily are all well and good, but sometimes you want to be able to get so invested that the rest of the world falls away. That can happen to you just from playing the base game of this activity, so imagine how immersive the gameplay is when you access the Prison Escape Bonus.
Your bid for freedom is going to take a lot of long nights, but the end goal of jumping over that wall, with a possible €71,000 plus in tow, is enough to make anyone dedicated, even the most noncommittal of people. Shall we get a closer look at the plans for this inside operation?
Days in the Slammer
There’s little to cheer you up when you’re confined to such a small room, with little or no interactions, but thankfully there’s a small scale Pick Me Bonus via a three or over match of the ball and chain symbol. The more you find, the more prizes you get to pick from, though remember you can only ever select one of them, so pick carefully.
When we were playing, we got a cash prize of €100, but that wasn’t the highest win we could have won, for there was a tile worth €2,000 hidden among the five we matched. It’s a slight kick in the teeth to be told what you could have won, especially if yours was a rubbish amount, but then it also spurs you on to try harder for the next time.
You’ll Need a Sturdy Rope
After days of planning, you and the guys have come up with a very simple escape plan, so basic it sounds doomed to fail, and yet when you enter the Prison Escape Bonus round you’ll see how effective it is.
There are several ropes to select, your prisoner moving towards the one you want and then climbing up it, during which time a monetary reward is added to your total. This will continue until there’s only one rope left between you and the outside world. We managed to get out with a sizeable win, but will you do the same, or will your rope snap halfway through?
Another Brick in the Wall
Years of servitude will have you living and breathing those Pink Floyd lyrics, which is why the sooner you make a bet the sooner you get to leave. The range with which you can play is a reasonable €0.50 to a whopping €1,000, and that’s per line; not bad for all you casual players out there, but for would be high rollers your account will take a hit.
There’s an automatic rounds option, found close to the Fast Play, that will launch you into hands free bliss for 25 games, though you can halt the proceedings at any time. We like the fact that Casino Web Scripts removes the tedium of having to decide on how many rounds you wish to play for, instead forcing you to stick to a set amount. And yet, on the flip side, we miss not being able to customise our experience.
The Fast Play, as always with the brand, isn’t nearly as useful as you’d have hoped for, with the speeded up version hardly any different to that of the normal paced The Great Escape. For those unconcerned with the time spent playing, it won’t matter if the reels move too slowly, but for those that want a quick in and out experience, the lack of ante will begin to grate.
Overrated Freedom
How ironic that you spend all your time trying to escape, only to want back in once the game has finished; this is a real cash slot that has you begging to return to prison. Which means that it must be a top notch title among, even despite the virtual nature of the game.
