Volts and Bolts Slot Machine Review

Powered by Shuffle Master, Volts and Bolts video slot is available through the SG network and at most WMS online casinos. The game has 5 reels, 3 rows and 50 fixed pay-lines. The theme is quite unusual and we must commend the creativity of the designers who've worked on Volts and Bolts.

The interface shows a whacky laboratory of one Dr. Volts, a quirky scientist who works on robots and living organs to create new life. Possibly a long distance relative to Dr. Frankenstein, this mad scientist has all sorts of contraptions and potions lying about and is getting ready to perform his weird experiments.

Let yourself into the scientist's lab and behold what items lay on his shelf (the reel grid takes form of a shelf). The symbols include J, Q, K and A which stand for lower values, and also theme-oriented icons such as a brain, an electric meter, a spanner, a wrench, the Volts and Bolts logo and a diary or possibly a notebook with important scientific notes. The graphics are top notch, and the style is a bit on the cartoony side. There are three special symbols in the game: the robot Scatter and the fizzing battery Wild.

Landing 6 of the robot symbols anywhere on the reel grid will activate the Robot Bonus Spins feature. The triggering robot icons will remain in place through the five robot spins. If any more of them appear, they will also remain in position. The key to the feature is to connect as many robot symbols as possible to build a bigger robot and increase the winning sum.

The more areas you cover, the bigger the reward at the end of the round. For example, by occupying 12 positions on the reels, you can expect a Minor or Major Bonus payout, or 250x the total bet. The bonus jackpot amounts are displayed above the reels. The Mini, Minor, Major and Grand Jackpot bonuses are worth 20x, 100x, 2000x or 5000x your wager, respectively.

Three or more mad scientist symbols anywhere in view will initiate the Free Spin round and the player will enjoy 12 freebies. This feature can be re-triggered, and can also be a gateway into the Robot Bonus Spins. To improve your odds of winning big, reel 3 will only contain Wild symbols or scientist Scatter symbols. Along with the Volts and Bolts icon, these two pay the most for combinations of three or more on a win line.

Electrify your wins with the Volts and Bolts online slot and reanimate your bankroll with battery Wilds and robot Scatters! Volts and Bolts offers a return rate of 95.63% and a top payout of 750x your bet, provided you've covered 15 reel positions with robot parts and built a stunning robotic creation. Volts and Bolts slot is compatible with smartphones and tablets; it is a brilliant-looking slot with medium to high variance gameplay that you can take with you wherever you go.
