Andre the Giant Slot Review
WWE fans out there will be familiar with the Hall of Famer Andre the Giant. He's most famous for his feud with Hulk Hogan resulting in their main event bout at WrestleMania III. Even older fans might recall him coming over to the UK as Jean Ferre to take on wrestlers such as Kendo Nagasaki. Movie fans will of course instantly tell you about his appearance in the movie 'The Princess Bride.' Sadly he's no longer with us having passed away in 1993 but WWE do hold the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania so he'll never be forgotten.
This is a five reel game with 25 paylines and comes from NextGen Gaming who have been producing a steady flow of high class slots games for over a decade now. This 'Andre the Giant' slot game definitely doesn't disappoint. The coin range goes from £0.01 to £2 and the maximum stake per spin is £50, only go for that if it's within your financial budget. The jackpot is £5000 if you can land five of the masked wrestler on an active payline.
Symbols in this game include a masked wrestler, some tickets for the big show, a wrestling mask, one of those foam hands that the fans wear, a pair of wrestling boots, a referee, a title belt, and a chair that will probably be used to hit another wrestler with. There's also Andre himself with his arms folded looking really mean and the Andre the Giant logo. It's good to see all the symbols being theme related and the playing cards absent for a change.
The Andre the Giant symbol is the wild in this game and it's an expanding one. It only appears on the second and fourth reels and will cover all three positions on that reel. This really gives you a good chance of getting some more wins.
This is an easy game to play with all the control buttons and information you need down at the bottom of the screen. If you want to know more about the rules for the game simply have a look through the paytable. Some free games is also advised to get you used to the game before you step into the ring to take on Andre the Giant.
Bonus Features
If you can get three of the Andre the Giant logo symbols anywhere on the reels then this triggers the Battle Bout Bonus feature and this gives you ten free spins. While these are being played through it's possible to collect Special Attack Moves, namely Hug, Chop, Choke and Head Butt, which are available on the fifth reel. These can then be used when Andre the Giant gets into the ring for his match. If he manages to win then the number of free spins you receive is doubled with a 2x multiplier. Three or more hits allows you to choose the Andre the Giant signature finishing move and you can win a multiplier of up to 20x. Note though that it's not possible to re-trigger the free spins.
At the end of the Battle Bout Bonus feature there's a Gamble Feature. With this you can double the amount you've won and can do this up to five times if your luck is really in.
Conclusion
This is a fun game to play. The jackpot may not be too high but you can get a steady stream of wins and the bonus game will please any wrestling fans out there.
