Highway Kings sounds like an 80s road movie starring Patrick Swayze, but in fact, it’s the name of a 5-reel video slot from the Playtech gaming suite. If you’re ready to hit the road and win some cash playing the pokies, Highway Kings is a good place to start, as you can potentially be crowned to the tune of 10,000 credits.
The road-themed casino game is characterised by simple cartoonised graphics but a refreshing absence of playing card symbols. There are also scatter and wild symbols to watch out for, the presence of which can seriously multiply your winnings. Ready to get behind the wheel? Then let’s break it down.
The open road
There’s quite a retro feel about Highway Kings. The graphics are bright and colourful, but the symbols look like they were sketched in thirty seconds by a bored artist. All symbols stick closely to the theme, in that they are in some way associated with driving. Actually, there’s one exception – a pair of red dice – but thankfully there are no Aces, Kings or Queens.
The Highway Kings logo appears in yellow font at the top of the screen, flanked by massive trucks. Trucks are the main symbols of wealth in this game, although you can certainly win good amounts by finding matching combinations of other symbols. As ever, all wins pay left to right except the scatter, which pays any. The theoretical return-to-player is 97.06%.
As far as wagering is concerned, the coin size stretches from 0.01 to 5, meaning the maximum bet-per-spin is 45. There are nine paylines, see, and they are unfixed; click Bet One to activate just one line, or keep clicking to set all nine in play. You can also click into the Paytable at the bottom of the screen to check the pay values associated with combinations of three, four and five matching symbols.
Dollar Ball
Highway Kings features a lotto-type progressive side game where you pick five numbers out of 49. Once you then start the main game, five numbers will be drawn randomly. The more numbers match your selection, the more you win. If all five numbers match, you win the jackpot. If you want to play the game, click Enable in the top right-hand corner.
King of the road
Playtech have designed a very good slot game in Highway Kings, though it could be improved with the inclusion of a free spins bonus or a multiplier. As it stands, there’s plenty of fun – and cash – to be had.
