Hollywood Reels Slot Review 2024

Hollywood Reels

Amaya Gaming presents Hollywood Reels, a slot machine that combines 9 paylines on a layout of 5 reels, where you can place bets and hope to win the big prize that is worth $62,500. Along the way, you are able to take advantage of wild symbols, scatters and bonus games.

Hollywood Reels has a vintage feeling to it, using the kind of design that you would've expected to see in the 40's or 50's, focusing on three movies with its symbols and theme. The three movies that are also used as symbols are about vampires from Mars, an Indiana Jones like adventurer and a war movie with a love story in it. It's a decent design, especially since its retro feel is a good fit with the theme.

The wagers for a single line consist of 1 to 5 coins, the value of the coin being selectable as well in the range of $0.01 to $5. The resulting maximum line bet is worth $25, taking the maximum to $225 and covering all 9 paylines. The top jackpot is big enough to make that kind of wager worth it, giving the player up to $62,500 cash with the right combination of symbols on the reels.

Though the game offers plenty of different features inside, the actual power of those icons can be somewhat disappointing. It's certainly the case with the wild feature, the image of a vampire with the word Wild in a corner. The reason for the disappointment is its capability of only substituting for two other symbols (the ones with images taken from movies). Fortunately, the wild also creates its own combinations, so you can at least get paid when you have multiple icons of the same type on a payline. It's the symbol that will give you the top jackpot, a 2500x multiple of the line bet.

The scatter symbols are the images of the film reel and of the movie star, both offering payouts to the player that can be quite impressive. A minimum of three scatters of the same type have to be present, for any kind of payout to be offered.

The final feature you can take advantage of is the Film Pick bonus game, triggered with 3+ Bonus symbols. Depending on the number of symbols, the player gets either 1x, 2x or 3x multipliers for the subsequent wins. During the actual bonus game, the player gets to click on various Film Cans and he gets multipliers. Those multipliers are combined with the bet value and with the initial 1x to 3x multiplier.

The game's quite a bit of fun if you're a movie buff, including images from vintage movies that seem to be made up, with a decent range of features and with high payouts.
