Roaring Forties

Rules of the Roaring Forties Slot

You can activate from 1 to 40 payoff lines when playing Roaring Forties. Use the Line menu to change the number of active lines. The bet size for every active line may vary between 1 and 100 credits. To input the exact sum you wish to bet per line, use the Bet/Line menu. You can also find the following buttons on the gameplay control panel:

• Paytable – use it to display the information section
• Autoplay – use it to activate the automatic game mode
• Gamble – use it to launch the risk-game (note that this button is only available after a successful spin)
• Start – use it to launch a single spin in manual mode

Winning combinations are formed by three, four, or five identical icons. The only exception to this rule is the number seven symbol, as it’s enough to collect two such symbols for a winning combination. There are no free spins or bonus rounds in this slot.

The Risk-Game in Roaring Forties

You’ll get a chance to multiply your winnings after a successful spin in the main game mode. Once you have launched the risk-game, you will see a playing card lying face down displayed on the playing field. You can double your previous payoff by guessing the card’s suite color correctly. Press the Red or Black button to make a respective guess. If you choose the wrong color, you’ll lose your previous payoff and go back to the main game mode. However, if your guess turns out to be right, you’ll get your payoff doubled, and you’ll be able to continue playing the risk-game. If you don’t want to risk anymore and prefer to collect your current winnings, press the Collect button (naturally, this option is only available to you until you make a wrong guess).

Symbols and Payoffs

The wild symbol is an icon with “Wild” written on it. This icon doesn’t form winning combinations on its own, but it can be used to replace other symbols except the scatter to form winning combinations that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. thanks to this particular feature you gain the opportunity to collect payoffs a lot more often than you would have without the wild symbol. The star icon is the scatter symbol in this slot. It will multiply your total bet size by 2, 20, or 500 times regardless of its position on the reels.

The most profitable symbol in this game is the icon with the lucky number seven. It increases your bet per line size by 4, 60, 200, or 1000 times. The bell icon is also quite a profitable one with coefficients of 40, 100, and 300. The grapes and watermelon icons will multiply your bet size by 20, 80, or 200. All other icons (orange, lemon, plum, cherry) have coefficients of 8, 40, and 100.

How to Win the Roaring Forties Slot

The RTP in this slot is 95.66%. You have a whole lot of 40 payoff lines to collect winning combinations, so your chances of getting a payoff are pretty high. Consequently, it is a good idea to activate all payoff lines. In addition, you can increase the size of your payoffs by playing the risk-game.
