Colossus Fracpot Slot
Head into battle with this epically themed slot machine and you could be in store for some huge progressive jackpot wins. Designed by Core Gaming software, this 5-reel and 20-payline video slot takes on a theme that harks back to the glory days of Ancient Greek warriors, with symbols that depcit a series of characters and props from the era.
However, the most exciting aspect of this slot machine is perhaps not the visual aspect itself, but the potential for players to win one of three progressive kitties with a bonus game that unlocks fractional jackpot prizes. Sounds a bit confusing, right? Well, no need to fret because all will be explained.
Going Greek
Ah, the good old days of Ancient Greece, a time in which warriors were brave and fearless and the letters of the alphabet looked a bit funny. Of course, the theme of Greece's illustrious history has been visited time and time again in the world of slot machines, showing various aspects of the civilisation's mythology, culture and prosperity. However, this effort by Core Gaming software is all about the sheer brute force of the Greek military, revealing a variety of different game icons that depict helmets, swords and warrior characters. And don't worry, you can see some of those weird Greek style letters too to indicate the usual royal card symbols.
To be truthfully honest, this game doesn't offer truly mind blowing from a visual point of view, which is to say that it doesn't use any spectacular 3D animations to really captivate the player's imagination. However, having said that, the slot machine is still perfectly pleasant to look at, with lots of colours and detailed illustrations of the various different icons. Plus, the reels themselves are set within a traditional Greek style frame with a sweeping musical score to add to the element of risk.
Colossus Wins
Of course, there is an element of risk involved with every spin of the game, with stakes available from the following total bet options: 0.20, 0.40, 1.00, 2.00, 4.00, 10.00, 40.00, 60.00, 80.00 and 100.00 credits. The game has 20 fixed paylines, so punters will have to divide their total stake by 20 to calculate the value of their bets per line. After they have done that, they will be able to see how much they can win from the paytable of line bet multipliers, as we have replicated below:
The wild coin symbol will replace all of the normal paying icons in the paytable above to help complete winning sequences.
Unlock the Jackpot
The only icons that cannot be substituted by the wild coin symbol are those which depict the bronze, silver and golden keys. These special symbols are effectively scatter icons which will unlock the way to those progressive jackpots whenever two or more matching keys appear in any position.
In theory, players need to find no fewer than five matching keys to unlock the total progressive jackpot kitties. However, each time that two, three or four, appear on the reels, punters will have the chance to play for a “fractional” progressive jackpot, giving them the option to cash out the offered prize or gamble for another spin of the reels with a set percentage chance to find another key.
If spinners don't fancy their chances of finding another key, then they can opt to “Collect” without spinning the next reel. Alternatively, there is an option to put the entire fractional jackpot prize on th gamble, meaning that the chances of finding another key will be slightly higher. However, if no key is found on the consequent spin, all of the bonus money will be wiped out and players will go back to the main game empty-handed.
Epic Spins
Colossus Fracpot is a video slot machine that mingles a fairly conventional theme with some unique and unconventional gameplay. That is thanks to the slot's bonus feature in which players can toggle different gamble stakes and potential outcomes in the hope that they can find one of the three progressive jackpots. As such, the game provides requires a little bit of extra thought and strategy, making it an ideal option for experienced spinners.
