Symbols in the Sky
The look of this game is a fanciful take on air travel. There is a faintly retro-feel to the game, though not specifically 50s, 60s, or 70s – it just looks like it is from an earlier era with well-dressed passengers, cocktails served in glass, and, of course, sexy, sexy stewardesses (that was back before they were “flight attendants”!). At the low end, the symbols are the 9 through Ace indexes from playing cards. There is no re-design here to integrate them into the game – they are just the basic symbols. Higher level combinations use much more interesting symbols like toppling martini glasses, passports, and over-stuffed suitcase, and a kind of smarmy flight crew. The scatter symbol is an airliner that triggers the Free Spins Bonus Round. The wildcards are a kiss covered and pretty happy looking man who is a passenger on this frisky airline, and a super-sexy stewardess. Both of these symbols animate when they come into play. The man only comes up on reel two, and the stewardess is only on reel four. They substitute in any winning combo with the usual exception of the scatter. Finally, there is a lips symbol that triggers the Kiss, Kiss Bonus Round.Skybound Bonuses
The airliner scatter symbol triggers the Free Spin round that is well designed and unique. It is much more complex than typical free-spin rounds in that the player gets to choose how many spins they receive and the value of the multiplier. If you choose the most spins, you get a lower multiplier – fewer spins maximizes the potential for winning, but the odds are longer.- 12 spins = all wins with a Man or a Stewardess get 4x multiplier
- 8 spins = all wins with a Man or a Stewardess get 9x multiplier
- 5 spins = all wins with a Man or a Stewardess get 16x multiplier
