Air Fighter

Take to the skies with Air Fighter, a fixed-odds casino game that gives players the chance to shoot down military aircraft that range from the oldest biplanes of World War 1 to the latest F-22 Raptor. It’s promoted as the world’s first regulated arcade game, where stunning graphics of the aircraft will satisfy plane fans and the chance to win up to 1000x the stake will surely attract punters who just like the chance to claim some big winnings.

There’s even a steadily growing progressive jackpot for lucky players to scoop, although this isn’t a traditional online casino video slot, so don’t expect free spins, wild symbols, or even reels, as Air Fighter works in a completely unique way. It’s got a great return to player percentage of over 96% and all results are independently assessed as fair, so you can merrily blast away at some beautifully detailed airplanes knowing that on average, most of what you wager comes back as winnings, and there are genuine chances to get hold of some big prizes.

The skies are packed full of fighters, bombers, transporters and reconnaissance planes from the last 100 years, all viewed from above as they fly in random directions over a variety of landscapes. At the bottom of the screen is a gun turret which is the bit controlled by players, who can decide what type of weapon to use, the direction of fire and value of the bullets.  All of this destruction is accompanied by a dramatic soundtrack and the guns make a satisfying sound as they rain death from above. It won’t be a game for everyone, but if you have even a passing interest in military aviation, you won’t want to miss Air Fighter.

Start your Engines

Opening up the game reveals a choice of ‘Rooms’ to play in, although it’s a strange way to describe the different landscapes where the action takes place, but let’s not worry about it, as all you need to know is that different bet levels open up the various zones. The action starts on the rocky islands that you fly over with 0.20 stakes, through to a twisting river in a jungle that’s opened with 0.20 bets, a jungle camp is seen at bets of 0.30, while a desert landscape appears when you stake 0.50. Wager 0.70 to enter a naval base, while the top bet is 1.00 and this takes you to snow-capped mountains and frozen lakes. Brr!

Each of these wagers gives you a single bullet to fire at the enemy aircraft, so while the maximum stakes don’t seem very high, it’s easy to get through a lot of ammo. Free Air Fighter games are available if you want to test things out beforehand, although once play starts, it’s pretty easy to see how it all works.

Put simply, each plane has a cash value which is won whenever it’s shot down, and a review of the paytable shows players how much each is worth. At the low limit 0.10 stakes, a Heinkel HE111 from World War 2 returns just 1.1x the bet when it’s blown out of the skies, while the other 22 planes that will appear at this level include a B-52 that’s worth 8x, an F117 Stealth Fighter that pays out 100x and a Eurofighter Typhoon that will be worth 500x when it’s destroyed. Raise the stakes to unlock different aircraft, or you can also earn bigger guns in each room by making bigger bets.

Playing Options

As well as the optional bet sizes and landscapes, there’s a couple more ways to modify gameplay, such as Autofire, which as the name suggests, sets the gun firing away without players needing to click for each bullet, and a useful Autolock function which keeps the gun targeted on any selected plane and is a real benefit for those of us who can’t aim very well.

Before each of these begins, players get to pre-set the number of bullets, or any win/loss levels, so there’s no danger of the guns firing away all night.

Boss Plane Rewards

Whatever level you are playing at, a C-130 Hercules is designated as a Boss Plane, worth a huge 1000x the stake when it’s destroyed. The Boss Attack feature is announced by an attractive female fighter pilot, and in some impressive animations, the C-130 flies towards the screen, all guns blazing, before you get the normal view from above and have opportunities to shoot it down.

A successful attack on the Boss plane wins the cash value of 1000x the stake per bullet, but then four treasure boxes will be parachuted into view, and a click on any of them will reveal a further reward. This could be 200x, 400x, 600x, or 800x the stake, but the progressive jackpot could be randomly awarded as well.

A small portion of every bet made on Air Fighter is put aside into the jackpot prize pool, which is seeded at 10,000x and rises from there until it’s claimed.

Similar Games

While there’s really nothing to directly compare Air Fighter to, there’s a couple of video slots that cover similar themes. The Top Gun video slot from Playtech takes players into the danger zone, and will hopefully take their breath away as they land some of the biggest wins when Goose, Iceman, Charlie and Jester appear across the 5 reels. An F-15 Tomcat fires extra wild symbols into place, while a free spins bonus game has even richer reels, in a popular slot which shows that even 30 years after release, people haven’t lost that loving feeling for Top Gun.

Air Force, from World Match, is another game that features the Stealth fighter and a high-paying Hercules symbol. A dog tag wild symbol helps to complete extra win-lines, while a bomb, decorated with a shark face, will blast open a free spins round, where all winnings are multiplied by 3x from their base values. A parachute side game is a fun distraction, where players simply pick a landing spot for a real cash award in this 5-reel, 15-payline game.

Does Air Fighter fly high?

Fantastic graphics and all the excitement of an aerial battle, without the danger are some of the main attractions of this stunning online casino game. Of course, landing some nice coin wins along the way lifts Air Fighter above and beyond the level of normal arcade games, which just award points for successful kills and we’re sure that this won’t be the last game of this type that we see.

It can take a few minutes to fully understand the rules, although a useful paytable and a screen that details how each control button is used should make it easier to pick up, but once you are blasting away at these beautifully designed planes, it all becomes clear.

It’s not mobile optimised though, as the level of detail and sheer number of planes on screen at once wouldn’t work well on the smaller screens of a smartphone, and while we always like to see games that can be played across all platforms, in this case the developers have good reason not to make it available to mobiles.
