Rudolph's Revenge, Three Stooges, Coyote Cash: Three nice releases from RTG
Rudolph's Revenge is a deliciously subversive game, especially designed for humbugs. The Os Man, too, hoped Rudolph's Revenge would be big and ugly, and boy is it. Talk about your dish of revenge best served cold.
On the reels of this rare 50-payliner are elves on ice (literally entombed in blocks of the stuff), Santa bundled up like an Xmas gift for your mistress dominatrix, and a nicely wrapped up box "for Santa" with a bomb ticking away inside. Rudolph as North Pole terrorist? Whoa.
An average play -- the Os Man is always surprised when these games with more than 30 paylines don't payout basically every spin -- is made way better by its hilarious symbols. Too bad no bonus game, 'cause the Os Man can just imagine the pick three: Choose a chimney down which to cram Santa headfirst. Right?
You shouldn't have laughed. You shouldn't have called him names. And perhaps most of all, you shouldn't have denied him entry into those reindeer games...
Another winner turned out by Real Time this month is Three Stooges, one for the fanatics. And since the fanatics number approximately 50 percent of the earth’s population, i.e. its males, this one reckons to get a lot of spins from a lot of online players. The low-paying symbols are props from various episodes of stoogery, Shemp himself puts in an appearance on the reels, and yes, a rambunctious rendition of “Three Blind Mice” blares on a big win.
Best of all is not quite the three SCATTERs contained in the game, tripping bonus rounds named the Larry’s Loot, Curly Cash or Moe Money (OK, that’s a good one) features: After all, these consist merely of free spins. Nah, the best bet is the immediate reward for spinning three Larries, Curlies, or Moes. In the winning reels, up pops an actual clip from one of the Stooges flicks. Best. Effect. Ever. Enjoy, knuckleheads.
Finally, token seasonal Wild West-themed slot Coyote Cash completes the threesome. This one’s a humorous and seemingly unseemly mesh of cartoon shenanigans, funny animals, and desert road trip. And the 25-payliner’s a good game as well, with neither the mariachi music on a win, nor the graphic of a suspiciously Wile E. Coyote-looking character having in a pistol explode in his face in suspiciously Wile E. Coyote-like fashion, ever getting old. A solid entry into the already packed subgenre.
