Rocky Slot - Review, Free & Demo Play

The ROCKY slot features a relatively familiar to a lot of players game fields -  with 5 reels and 5 rows, plus, there are 40 paylines in this slot. Despite a seemingly uncomplicated grid and a more classical interface, the overall gameplay of ROCKY is still rather tricky, since the slot has a lot of different features, which can make this game a bit overwhelming for less experienced players.

Thus, allow us to show you how you can navigate ROCKY, and below we’ll explain all the features of this new slot in more detail. Besides, there is also a demo version of ROCKY, where you can learn firsthand how to play this game.

• Regardless if you start the casino version of ROCKY, or activate the demo, the steps you take after launching the game are the same. First of all, you need to open the game, wait for it to load and click “Start”;
• Now press the coin icon beneath the spin button, and select how much you will be betting per spin. The lowest stake you can make in ROCKY is €0.10 and the highest is €500. Without exiting this menu, you can also adjust the speed of the game by pressing the “Turbo” option;
• Click “i” and be sure to read the information in this big section - you can learn about the values of symbols, what special features do, find out what the winning lines are and more;
• If you would like to buy a bonus feature in the ROCKY slot and start the game with this activated feature, then click the “Buy Bonus” icon which allows you to purchase a random feature of the slot;
• If you wish to play the basic version of ROCKY, then skip the aforementioned step, and just press the spin button or hold it to activate auto-spin mode. Good luck!

The volatility of the ROCKY slot is at a high level, therefore you need to keep in mind that the level of risk in this slot will also be quite high. The combination of winning symbols will occur less often than in slots with lower levels of volatility, but on the flip side, said win combinations will also pay larger sums than you would get in low or medium-volatility slots.

As for the Return to Player, in ROCKY it is, unfortunately, at a below-average value of 95.88%. Granted, the RTP can also be raised to a higher value than that - to 95.91% - but it is still a bit lower than the average 96% RTP that the majority of video slots have.

ROCKY works both on mobile devices and PC, and both of these versions feature the same gameplay, with the same bonus games. Furthermore, ROCKY is well-optimized, so as long as the internet connection is stable and there is no internal error, you should have a smooth gaming experience. Keep in mind though that instead of downloading/installing an app, you can play ROCKY by launching this slot via the mobile browser of your tablet or smartphone.

Buy a Random Feature

The final feature of the ROCKY slot is the Buy a Random Feature option, which allows you to trigger any of the aforementioned bonus games at any point in the game. The bonus game that you can trigger after the purchase is random, and the price of this bonus buy varies depending on your current total stake.

ROCKY slot has a free demo version, which we have also added to this review. Thus, if you would like to play this new slot for free, you can launch the demo, and enjoy the gameplay with the same features as described earlier, but here you also don't have to pay to play. Granted, you can't win real cash in the demo mode, but this version is quite useful if you would like to learn how to play ROCKY and to decide if this is the game for you.

In the ROCKY slot, you can win up to 5,000x of your current stake, which is honestly a bit modest of a price for a game with a high volatility level. While such a smaller prize is unfortunate, ROCKY can compensate for such a max win with a lot of useful bonus features that can help you win. After all, you have 6 bonus games, with respins, free spins and multipliers and it’s even possible to purchase a random feature at a reasonable price.

While ROCKY slot does have a bit of a low grand prize, we have to say the pros of this game certainly outweigh the cons, because on top of a decent design and interesting main theme - which would be especially interesting to the fans of the Rocky franchise - the gameplay of ROCKY is also very engaging and we dare say even a bit challenging, as there are a lot of bonus features for you to enjoy. So unless you are searching for slots with huge max win potential and you are unbothered by a slightly below-average RTP, then this slot is certainly worthy of checking out.
