Houdini Slots Escape to Jackpotjoy (May 2008)Jackpotjoy have launched another brand new slot game - and it's not a TV tie in (although look out for Goldenballs coming very soon). The new slot is a 5 reel 25 line slots game and it features the king of escapism - Mr Harry Houdini! The symbols are a mix of Jacks, Kings, Queens and Aces combined with rabbits in top hats, locks, keys and Houdini style bonus symbols. To play Houdini Slots head on over to Jackpotjoy. You can play for fun (and free) or play for real. The game has 3 bonus features - The Great Escape Bonus, Balloon Bonus and Scatter Bonus.
In The Great Escape Bonus you have to select boxes - you'll either see 'Win', 'Escape' or 'Collect'. Get the 'Escape' box and you move on to another round - therefore accumulating more bonus money.
So what would the great Houdini think of this slots game? Would it make him chain himself to his PC or would he want to escape from it all (we had to have some puns in here somewhere!).
It's not a bad game - if you get a bonus symbol or two the crowd release "oohs" and "ahhs" and this helps create a fun atmosphere. The Great Escape Bonus features Houdini's tricks - and aside from wondering about the monkey in a fez (which doesn't really do anything) you'll enjoy playing.
The downside was the limited bonus rounds - despite spin after spin we've not been able to try out the Scatter or Balloon Bonus rounds. There's also no progressive jackpot on offer.
