Epic City

The Epic City slot is based on a golden metropolis with a futuristic theme. This game can be found at Old Skool Studios casinos, and the graphics are very strong, as you would expect from a game with this type of theme. It also has a really good balance between offering a number of ways to win impressive payouts and having a reasonable pay table overall, which gives you a medium volatility and fairly smooth gameplay. As a result, this title looks great and gives players lots of ways to win enough that they can be happy with.

Game Layout

The layout of this city-based game looks atypical when you first look at it because the reels aren't even with each other. The middle reel is the highest, the second/fourth are a bit lower, and the first/last are even lower. This creates somewhat of a visual illusion because it actually just has a completely normal layout with five reels and three rows. There are 20 paylines total, and you can choose between a variety of total bet sizes that start at a super-low $0.20. With wagers that go up to the $10 level per turn, the only players who will be missing out on bet sizes they'll want to use are super high rollers.

Golden Statue Wild Symbol

There is a wild symbol on all five reels in this game. It's a golden statue that looks just like the statues that line the left and right sides of the reels. You'll be able to pick up a win worth 1,000x when you line up five of this wild on a payline. The win for a four-of-a-kind combination is 400x, and it drops down to 100x for three of a kind. Just two of the wild will get you a payout of 5x as well. These are some pretty reasonable pays, but this is not the only symbol in this game that pays for just two of a kind.

Free Games Scatter and Payouts

The free games symbol appears on all reels and is a paying scatter. Five of a kind earns 25x, and four of a kind is worth 10x. Three anywhere on the reels gets you 2x, and you'll win back half of your bet size for two of a kind, no matter where they are located. These wins are multiplied by your total bet size.

Along with those scatter payouts, you'll also get a set of free spins for three of a kind or more. Three gets you 8 free spins, and four of a kind is worth 12 free spins. Five of the free spins symbol gets 20 free spins, and they can be re-triggered to add even more free turns. You'll get a random multiplier on all of your wins, and this bonus feature also includes additional stacked wilds for better chances at multi-line wins.

Bonus Game Rules

The bonus scatter appears on the first, third and fifth reels, and it does not give regular payouts. Instead, it only gives you access to the bonus feature. In the Power Bonus feature, you'll select items from a list for a chance to restore power to a part of the city that has lost it. In turn, you'll receive instant win payouts.

Important Payouts and Wins

You can pick up 500x for five of the golden blimp symbol, and the win for five of the golden train gets you 200x. The golden ship and golden car are each worth 100x. The red suits of heart and diamond with the gold trim can pay out 50x apiece for five of a kind, and five of either the club or spade in gold trim is worth 40x.

In Summary

The Epic City slot is a game that combines a few different features to give you an exciting gameplay experience. Old Skool Studios did a good job with this game in terms of making sure that players got a solid combination of good graphics and great gameplay, and that's the kind of mix that has led to strong games in the industry the entire time it has been in existence. Overall, we feel like the payout table is balanced enough that the volatility is going to be pretty much on the low side, and the free spins feature with stacked wilds and multipliers gives you more opportunities to win major-level pays.
