IGT Features “Rising Respins” in New Multi-Channel “Apollo Rising” Slot

IGT recently came out with an entirely new slot content for multi-channel release entitled “Apollo Rising.” Using an 8-row by 5-column reel grid with 100 fixed-paylines, reverse-reel spinning actions create the rising effect that marks the special win boosting “Rising Spin “feature of this IGT spacecraft-themed online slot.

Presumably named after one of NASA’s Apollo spacecraft projects, a full-reel image of a launching spacecraft serves as the Wild symbol that could complete more than one payline win during a respin. A symbol, which IGT calls the “Rising Respin Trigger,” activates a bet-free spin, while the full-reel Spacecraft Wild, stays in place.

The “Apollo Rising Respins Trigger” appears only in reels two (2), three (3), and four (4) but could re-appear during the respin event. If it does appear and transform into another Full Reel Wild, a new respin kicks in, with all Full Reel Wild Spacecraft images still glued to their respective reel location. It is possible therefore to have three (3) Full Reel Spacecraft Wild Symbols on all three (3)-center reels.

High Symbols are represented by four (4) astronauts, a male, a female, a monkey, and a dog; each icon individually occupying two (2), up to four (4) rows in a single column. Denoting an even greater potential for identical High Symbols to create payline wins, with or without the substitution assistance of the Full Reel Wilds. The male cartoon astronaut in a red-orange spacesuit pays the highest reward of 300 coins for a five-of-a-kind payline win.

“Apollo Rising” though is a high-stakes real money gaming offer, as all 100 paylines are played in every spin. The minimum coin bet per payline is 1.00, which denotes that a player’s betting option starts with 100.00 per spin. The maximum number of coins that a player could place as bet on a single spin is 30.00, which equates to a Max Bet of 3,000.00 for all paylines. Nonetheless, this May 2015 “Apollo Rising” slot release by IGT furnishes game info stating that the payback rate is from 92.56% up to 96.33%.

For a matched payline to be counted as a win, the first identical symbol must always start from the leftmost or the first reel. Although a Full Reel Wild occurrence can form multiple winning combinations, the game pays only for one (1) matched combo per payline. If there are more than one completed payline patterns occurring in a single payline, only the payline combo with the highest payout value will be considered.

Canadian players can access this game through Mr. Green Casino, which initiated the launch last May 21, 2015 along with IGT’s customary promotional sweepstake draw from May 21 to May 31, 2015. Several lucky online casino players, who earned sweepstakes tickets by playing with “Apollo Rising” slot, were drawn as winners last June 01, 2015.Since it is a multi-channel release, both desktop and mobile device users can access and play the game using the available and related currency, which includes Canadian Dollar.
