Epic City Slot Review

How to play

The movie industry isn’t the only one that can create a period piece. Casino game designers too can create impressive slot games that incorporate history and aesthetics. Epic City slot by Old Skool Games uses a 3 by 5 grid that’s slightly arched to follow the contour of an Art Deco building. This grid occupies just a small part of the screen with the grand airships, futuristic tall buildings in the background, and an old jazz soundtrack for dramatic effect.

To start an immersive slot experience, you’ll need to adjust the bet buttons you can find on the lower left side of the screen. In the Epic City slot, wagers can start at €0.20 and increase this to €10.00. After deciding on the wager, click the ‘Spin’ button you can find at the bottom of the screen. This slot game comes with 20 paylines and they’re active for all plays. Here, payouts can start by landing at least three matching symbols from the left.

Symbols and payouts

This slot machine offers a sophisticated theme and a selection of an old-school set of symbols. You’ll encounter 11 symbols on the screen that include the game’s Wild, Free Games, and Bonus symbols. For the game’s regular-paying symbols, you’ll find the Zeppelin, Train, and Ship. Collecting five matching symbols on the reels will pay you 500, 200, and 100 credits respectively. Similar to other popular slot machines, Epic City slot also randomly displays the traditional suits of playing cards. The Diamonds and Hearts are the most lucrative as they pay up to 50 credits when collecting five matching symbols.

For bigger payouts, watch out for the game’s Wild symbols. Atlas acts as the Wild which can replace other symbols except for the Bonus and Free Games symbols. 

Best Epic City bonus feature

You can collect the game’s best payouts when you land the special symbols and activate the bonuses. Epic City slot boasts two kinds of Scatter symbols: the Free Spins and Bonus. You can start the game’s Free Games bonus by collecting three or more Free Games symbols, awarding you with 8 free spins. If you manage to land all five Scatters, you win 20 Epic City free spins. These extra spins are played out using the wager used in activating this feature.  Also, the Epic City free spins come with Stacked Wilds and a side game where you can earn a 10x multiplier. This round offers you a chance to collect the game’s biggest payout of up to 500 credits with a potential x10 multiplier.

Landing three Bonus symbols on the screen will ignite lighting, cut the city’s power supply and start the Power Bonus. Here, you’ll play a Mini Game with a fuse box. The challenge is to click a fuse button and collect the assigned prize. You will collect each prize that’s revealed and will power up the generator. If the button reveals ‘Advance’, you move to the next fuse box and continue the work. However, if one of the fuse buttons reveals a ‘Collect’ message, you will return to the base game and enjoy all winnings that you have earned in this Epic City bonus round.

To boost the player’s win potential, this game also comes with a Gamble Mode. Here, you can have a chance to double your winnings. This only happens after an instant win in the base game and offers players a 50% chance of winning.
