ABOUT GAME
WHAT’S THE STORY?
Welcome to Italy! In a small village, a mighty cockerel rules the roost. Meet Rocco Gallo.

Rocco may rule the roost, but Vinnie Volpe is always lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce and sneak away with Rocco’s chicks.

We think Rocco might have something to say about that...


FEATURES
Fans of farm-style slots will love this animal-themed game.

Goals are clear from the offset as a Chicken vs. Fox narrative ensues on the grid.

As well as Rocco and Vinnie, hens and chicks whiz around the reels but the Golden Egg Scatters are ones to look out for. Triggering three will take the player through to the bonus Free Spins.

During the Free Spins, Golden Eggs will reveal either an instant prize – which is added to the Cash Pot immediately – or a Multiplier. Two frames are highlighted on the reels, if Rocco appears the Cash Pot prize is awarded, but if Vinnie Volpe appears the Cash Pot prize is removed.

If both characters appear an innovative battle takes place on the reels but the Cash Pot prize will be awarded, and the Free Spins will be reset back to 3. This feature is designed to drum up anticipation and immerse the player in the fight between Rocco and Vinnie.

Even when the battle in the bonus isn’t taking place the undercurrent of the narrative is still apparent as the shadow of Vinnie Volpe creeps across the reels so the player knows he is always lurking... https://www.playngo.com/games/rocco-gallo

How to play Gonzo’s Quest
Gonzo’s Quest is simple enough to play, one of the reasons for its enduring popularity. The game is set on a 5×3 grid against the backdrop of an ancient Incan city.

As you hit spin, the reels, filled with various colourful stone masks, will burst into life. Stone blocks come tumbling down and the grid refreshes, leading to new wins. Twenty fixed paylines are available, and you’ll need to land at least three of the matching masks across one of these to pick up a win.

Gonzo’s Quest™ falls in the category of medium variance game. The highest possible win in the base game is a huge 2500x your wager.

There are a total of seven different stone symbols to look out for, with each one paying out a different amount. The highest paying symbol in the game pays out a maximum of 125x your stake for five on a line.

Once you do land a win, the winning symbols will be destroyed, and new ones will fall to take their place. This avalanche reels feature is the centrepiece of Gonzo’s Quest slot, and landing avalanche wins one after the other will increase a win multiplier up to a maximum of 5x in the base game.

Players will also discover wilds and scatters, both of which can unlock big wins. Gonzo will express his appreciation of these as he dances and celebrates with the player.

How to play Twin Spin
This game offers a slightly unusual format. Although it has five reels like many other slots, the Twin Spin slot offers a massive 243 different ways to win.

Place your bets and hit spin to see the Twin Reels in action. All spins start with adjacent reels, the Twin Reels, which link and feature identical symbols. From the five reels, only the twins have red lights glowing behind after they start rolling.

During a single spin, the duo reels may also clone themselves into three, four or five reels. As you can imagine, this synchronisation across the playing area dramatically multiplies your chances of winning.

You can distinguish the Twin Spin™ slot from conventional classic types by its unique reel-synchronising characteristic. Unlike most five-reel slots, the game has no scatter symbol, separate bonus games or free spins to unlock. However, the autoplay option favours players in that they can spin between 10 and 1000 turns.

Before you hit spin, you’ll need to choose how much you’d like to bet per spin. We’ve given players lots of options between £0.25 all the way up to £125.

This slot features twelve symbols in total. These consist of the typical card royals from A-9 each with their own neo colour. Then there are the higher paying symbols, made up cherries, bells, BARs, lucky 7s and diamonds. Finally, there’s the wild which will substitute for any other symbol in the game.

ABOUT GAME

3 or more SCATTER symbols trigger the FREE SPINS mode with an initial 8 spins. A random ROYAL symbol or HIGH-PAYING symbol will be chosen on each spin to become a special EXPANDING SYMBOL!

ABOUT GAME
WHAT’S THE STORY?
Fans of the ‘90s get your frosted tips and baggy cargos at the ready as *NSYNC are back to perform once again. Join Justin, JC, Lance, Joey and Chris onstage in this musical title.

FEATURES
With rock bands like Twisted Sister, KISS, Alice Cooper and many more in their repertoire, Play’n GO have shifted their focus to pop in this dynamic title. Set in an unusual 2,3,4,3,2 grid layout in the base game, this slot cleverly combines nostalgic aesthetics with contemporary features.
The action takes place in the Free Spins feature with the objective of expanding the reels, which only happens in the Encore Spin feature. Pop Symbols appear on the top and the bottom of the reels, with every ‘Pop’ a Mystery symbol is revealed. The aim is to clear the grid in the Free Spins feature of all the Pop symbols to take the player to the Encore Spin feature.

Members of the band appear on the reels and are united as they act as the Wild symbol which fans of the band will be pleased to see... https://www.playngo.com/games/nsync-pop
