Hang 10 Dude
As Barcrest's only surfing themed slot game online, Wipeout is set atop a wave with the sun’s rays shining through, making for a quick escape in the middle of winter. Symbols of include the Sun, a VW Van, Shades, the Surfer and the Big Wave. There are also the standard playing card symbols that include Ace, King, Queen, and Jack, which are just like the playing cards that are used to play video poker online. The Surfer symbol is the scatter symbol, and the wild symbol is the Big Wave, which are the two highest paying symbols. The Extra Life symbol is represented by the surfer’s face on a yellow background, and the Wipeout symbol portraying the surfer literally wiping out only appears in the free spins bonus round.
Nice Features
The features of Wipeout include the wild feature, the scatter feature, and the free spins bonus round, which is further explained in the next section. The wild symbol is the Big Wave and it is an expanding wild, which means it has the ability to cover the entire reel that it appears on. This symbol is also capable of substituting any other symbol except for the scatter symbol in order to complete winning combinations. The scatter symbol is the Surfer symbol. This symbol will trigger the free spins bonus round and acts as a multiplier applied the player’s original line bet. The largest jackpot of the game is awarded when you land 5 wipeout symbols and pays the is 7,500.00 credits.
Free Spins Bonus
The free spins bonus round is unlike most of free spins games found in other Barcrest slots. The scatter Surfer symbol appears on reels 3, 4, or 5 and will initiate the free spins bonus round. The number of scatters will dictate the multiplier. If the player gets 3, 4, or 5 of these scatter symbols, a multiplier of 5X, 25X, or 250X, respectively, will be applied to the bet. There are 2 extra symbols that will appear on the reels only during the free spins bonus round. What makes the bonus round in the Wipeout slot stand out from others is that instead of being given a certain amount of free spins, players are actually awarded a certain amount of “lives.” If the Extra Life symbol appears, it will add an additional life (or spin) to your total free spins; whereas, the Wipeout symbol will subtract a life from the player’s total spins.
Cash prizes are awarded when either of the 2 unique symbols show up, which will only appear on the 5th reel. The bonus round ends when the player reaches the maximum of 50 free spins or there is only 1 life left and the wipeout symbol appears.
Large Limits
The betting limits in Wipeout consist of bet per line options lying between 0.02 and 30.00. Players are able to choose between one and 10 win lines to bet on, making the maximum bet 300 credits. Wipeout is great for low-limit players, as well as players who like to wager a high max bet on every spin, as it will allow for a longer session, stretching the player’s bankroll further than most other Barcrest slots.
The Bottom Line
Wipeout is a simple, yet engaging online slot game that is perfect for inexperienced slot players, as well as seasoned veterans and can be extremely rewarding and exciting for advanced players, thanks to the high stakes and a maximum bet per spin set at 300.00 and. The free spins round is one of the most interesting and unique we’ve seen, so it comes highly recommended. If you like Wipeout, you might also like Captain Quid’s Treasure Chest, by IGT.
