A Day at the Derby Slot Review 2024

Rival's “A Day at the Derby" offers a combination of 5 reels with 20 paylines, plus features among which you will find the wild symbol, the scatter, free spins and multipliers, plus a $18,750 top prize.

In this game you get a chance at experiencing a bit of what makes horse racing a popular sport among many gamblers. You get to experience a bit of that, and you also get a chance of winning some good money in the process. It's a slot with a decent design, with the reels taking most of the screen, but with the top part of the race track's building visible behind the logo, at the top. The symbols have as the background the color green. As for the images that were used for the symbols, you will find a bouquet of roses, a gold cup, two of the spectators (a man and a woman), a pair of horseshoes, an ice tea, a pair of binoculars and the race slip. Two symbols with jockyes and two with horses make up the rest of the paytable, and they're the special feature symbols.

The game gives people the chance to vary the number of coins used on each payline (1 – 10), as well as the value for those coins ($0.01 - $0.25), with the maximum bet value being $50, when all twenty paylines get 10 coins at $0.25 each. The jackpot depends on the payline bet, with the top prize being $6,250. The prize goes up to $18,750 if it's won during the free spins.

The jockey with the green cap acts as the jackpot symbol, giving away 2500 times the line bet, or up to 25,000 coins. In cash, it translates into $6,250. You need five symbols with this green jockey to get the top jackpot.

The wild symbol has the image of the brown horse on it and it replaces all other symbols, when it can form a winning combination this way. The wild has a multiplier, which depends on how many wilds contributed to the combo (two wilds that are part of a winning combination give a 2x multiplier).

The game benefits from the services of the scatter symbol, which is the blue jockey. With three scatters, the player gets 5 spins for free, while four scatters award 10 spins and five scatters will give the player 20 spins for free. In each case, there is also a 3x multiplier. The highest possible prize in the game is the top jackpot won during the free spins, since the prize is three times larger.

The final special feature included is the white horse bonus symbol, which will trigger a bonus round when there are three of them on the same active payline.

It's a fun game overall, even if you're not necessarily a fan of the race track. Quite a few features were included in it, so I suggest you give it a try.
