Rocky Slot Review

Rocky Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Rocky slot comes is played with 5 reels, 5 rows and 40 fixed paylines. Landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel, will constitute a winning combination. If more than 1 winning combination appears on a payline, only the highest value combination is awarded.

Bet options range from 10p up to £500 per spin. Some UK online casinos may offer a lower max bet though so bear that in mind. To change your stake, click/press the Coins icon and use the plus and minus buttons. Non UK slots players can use the Autoplay function where infinite autospins can be selected. The other option is Turbo Mode which has 2 settings.

The Rocky RTP is 95.91% which is just below the 96% online slots average. There are 94.85%, 93.4% and 91.81% RTP versions so check at the slots website you’re playing at.

Volatility wise, it’s in medium bracket. Expect a win every 2.5 spins as the hit frequency rate is 40%. Importantly, expect to trigger a bonus feature every 60 spins on average.

At present, the max win is unknown for the online Rocky slot game. Winning 1,000 x your total bet or higher will occur every 6 million spins (on average). If you fill the reels with Rock Balboa symbols, you’ll pocket 600 x your total bet.

Theme – revisit the legend in this official branded slot

With a movie theme, the Rocky slot is the official game for the Rocky film franchise. The original Rocky film was released in 1976 and spawned 5 sequels. Regarded as some of the greatest sports films of all time, Rocky has influenced landmarks, musicals and popular culture.

As a result of its success, there are spin-off and sequel films with Creed (Creed 2 and 3). Synonymous with the Rocky films is the Eye of the Tiger song by rock band Survivor. Visually, you will see Rocky Balboa at the entrance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art which is now commonly known as the Rocky Steps. This featured in the original 1976 Rocky movie.

With crowds cheering serving as the soundtrack, symbols on the reels include A, K, Q, J and 10 playing cards. The higher value symbols are represented by Rocky’s dog Butkus, Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang, Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa himself. Naturally, Rocky Balboa is the best paying symbol with 0.3, 0.8 or 1.5 x bet awarded for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Then there is an Italian Stallion Wild symbol which substitutes for all paying symbols mentioned above. However, it doesn’t appear in the base game. 5 wilds across a payline awards a 1.5 x bet payout (like the Rocky Balboa symbol). Here’s a lis of all symbol payouts:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
10	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5 x bet
J	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5 x bet
Q	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5 x bet
K	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5 x bet
A	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5 x bet
Butkus	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.4 or 0.8 x bet
Ivan Drago	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.5 or 0.8 x bet
Clubber Lang	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.5 or 1 x bet
Apollo Creed	3, 4 or 5 = 0.3, 0.8 or 1 x bet
Rocky Balboa	3, 4 or 5 = 0.3, 0.8 or 1.5 x bet
Italian Stallion Wild	Substitutes, is sticky + appears only during Apollo Creed free spins

As we discuss in more detail below, there are 6 scatter symbols (Rocky I, Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky V and Rocky RB). These are key to triggering the various bonus features.

Rocky Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, the Rocky films are brought to life on mobile, tablet, laptop and/or PC devices. If playing on a smartphone, it’s compatible with iOS, Android and Windows devices. The 5×5 setups works rather well, even on smaller devices.

Rocky Bonus Features

The Rocky slot comes with 6 main bonus features, 1 for each Rocky movie. With 6 different scatter symbols, each one only appears in the 4 corner positions in the base game. Each scatter triggers its own bonus feature. They award free spins with sticky wilds and Mega Symbols, a pick me game, respins with multipliers, a multi-wheel and a training trail bonus. Here’s a table highlighting the what feature is triggered by scatter and what film it’s inspired by:

Scatter/Film	Feature
Rocky I	Apollo Creed Free Games
Rocky II	Heavyweight
Rocky III	Clubber Lang Free Games
Rocky IV	Ivan Dragon Hold & Respins
Rocky V	Multi-Wheel
Rocky Balboa	Rocky Balboa Training

Apollo Creed Free Games feature

The Apollo Creed Free Games feature is triggered when 4 Rocky I Scatter symbols land in the corner positions in the base game. With 8 free awarded, you will see Italian Stallion Wilds on the reels.

The Italian Stallion Wilds are sticky too meaning they remain in place until the end of the feature. A screen full of wilds will result in a 600 x bet payout. Extra free spins are not possible.

Heavyweight feature

The Heavyweight feature is played when 4 Rocky II Scatters land in the corner positions. With 3 picks awarded, you choose from 9 boxing gloves. When a glove is selected, a cash prize is revealed. They vary in value up to 10 x your total bet.

You can also uncover a Gold Coin which award 3 extra picks. With up to 9 picks in total available, the sum of all reveal cash prizes will be won and awarded with the feature ending.

Clubber Lang Free Games feature

The Clubber Lang Free Games feature is activated when 4 Rocky III Scatters land in the corner positions. 6 free spins are then awarded.

On every free spin, a Mega Symbol is guaranteed to reveal all Clubber Lang or Rocky Balboa symbols. The Mega Symbol will be at least 2×2 in size. This will boost your chances of landing a bigger win. More free spins cannot be won.

Ivan Drago Hold & Respins feature

The Ivan Drago Hold & Respins feature is played when 4 Rocky IV Scatters appear in the corner positions. With 3 respins awarded, look out for boxing gloves landing as this resets the respins tally to 3.

Each boxing glove contains a cash prize which is added to the tally meter when all respins are used or when you fill all 25 reel positions with boxing gloves. If you fill all 25 positions, a 2x, 3x or 4x multiplier is applied to your total sum of prizes. Once all prizes are tallied, the tally meter is awarded and the feature ends.

Multi-Wheel feature

The Multi-Wheel feature is triggered when 4 Rocky V Scatters appear in the corners. 1 turn is then awarded when 3 wheels to spin per turn. Here’s what each wheel entails:

Finally, winning extra respins can be infinite meaning plenty of cash prizes (subject to the multiplier)

Rocky Balboa Training feature

The Rocky Balboa Training feature is activated when 4 Rocky RB Scatters land in the 4 corner positions on the reels. To the right side of the reel area, a stack of prize multipliers appears ranging from 1 to 1,000x. A red box indicated that 1x is currently active.

Press/click the ‘START’ button to begin. The red box climbs the stack which highlights prize multipliers with higher awards. It then stops at a prize and a ‘PUSH HARDER’ button appears. Press/click this button to increase the prize multiplier by 1 step on the stack.

If the ‘PUSH HARDER’ chance fails to award a higher prize, the active prize multiplier is awarded. The feature ends once a prize is awarded. Importantly, there’s up to 1,000 x your total bet up for grabs.

Buy Bonus feature

Lastly, the official Rocky slot has a Buy Bonus feature for players outside the UK. Costing 38 x your total bet, you will be randomly awarded 1 of 6 main bonus features described above.

Rocky Review Summary – fast-paced feature action with a legend

If you’re a fan of any of the Rocky movies, you’re going to love the Rocky slot. Players that are 30+ will appreciate this game more than younger slot players due to the sheer importance of these films in the late 70s and 80s in particular. Graphically, it features all the main characters from the various films. What is missing though is the Eye of the Tiger song as it’s soundtrack.

When it comes to the gameplay, there are lots of bonus features. There is a bonus feature for each of the 6 Rocky films. With 2 free spins features, a screen full of sticky wilds or a big Mega Symbols will only lead to 600 x bet max wins per free spins.

I quite like the Ivan Drago Hold & Respins feature which can give you a multiplier up to 4x if you fill all reel positions with boxing gloves. That said, a 1,000 x bet prize is the maximum you can achieve. This is also the case in the Rocky Balboa Training feature.

In terms of payouts, 1,000 x bet isn’t very high compared to many other slot games. However, the Rocky slot caters to millions of fans worldwide who love Rocky Balboa/Sylvester Stallone. This game is more for entertainment purposes and will be of nostalgic value more than anything else.

With Playtech being no strangers to branded slots, Rocky is actually a revamp of an older version that was a lot simpler in terms of bonus features. Playtech are responsible for the likes of The Walking Dead, The Mummy: Books of Amun Ra, RoboCop and Gladiator: Road to Rome. Here are all the details including RTP and max win potential:

Slot	Reels/Paylines	RTP	Max Win
	5/50	95.73%	2,198 x bet
	5/10-16	95.97%	10,000 x bet
	5/25	95.37%	10,000 x bet
	5/25	95.05%	Progressive/30,000 x bet
