Evel Knievel Slots
Evil Knievel Slot Machine Games
Evel Knievel Video Slots celebrate the dangerous
exploits of America's most famous daredevil, Evil Knievel.
Knievel was famous for jumping cars, buses and rivers. Evel
Knievel was a hero to a whole generation of young boys, who
bought followed his career during the 1960's and 1970's and
bought his toys and merchandise.
Evel Knievel has licensed his name and image to IGT now, which has put out an Evel Knievel slot machine. The machine contains videos of Evel's death defying stunts, which include everything from jumping a vat of live rattlesnakes to an aborted attempt to jump the Snake River. It is said that Evel Knievel broke every bone in his body during his ten-year career as a stunt-jumper.
Evel Knievel Video Slots Overview
Evel Knievel slots are made by the Game King Division at International Game Technology. These machines are 5-reel video slots, with 15 paylines and variable maximum wager. The top award on Evel Knievel video slots is 10,000 coins.
The Dare Devil Bonus Game
The dare devil scatter symbol triggers the bonus game on Evel
Knievel slots. When 3 or more scatter symbols land on the 1st,
2nd or 3rd reels, Daredevil bonus game activates.
The screen shows a stadium full of expectant fans and the player sees the game from the perspective of Evel Knievel himself. When you hit the jump button, the motorcycle takes off and you hear Evel Knievel giving you encouragement.
You make an animated jump over cars. If you land the jump, you win bonus coins and continue in the bonus game. Whenever you miss a jump, the bonus game is over. Even then, you still win extra bonus coins.
You can also choose to end the bonus game by hitting the Bail! button after a successful jump. If you hit Jump!, you make another jump for even more money. Every jump carries a larger risk, though the reward is greater, too.
The X-Ray Bonus Game
Giving his long history of crashes, Evel Knievel was no stranger to the x-ray machine. When 3 or more X-Ray icons appear on any reels, the X-Ray bonus game is triggered.
You'll be presented with a series of X-Ray images. Select one, which will reveal a coin amount. Also, the x-rays might reveal a wild symbol, which allows you to win all symbols on the bonus game.
The Reality Check Bonus
When the ramp symbols align on reels 2 through 4, the Reality Check bonus is triggered. The Evel Knievel video slot machine shows footage from four of Evel Knievel's most famous stunt jumps: Snake Rivers, Wembley Stadium, the Cow Palace or the fountains at Caesars Palace.
After seeing video of one of these jumps, the player is given automatic bonus credits.
Evel Knievel Review
I loved Evel Knievel as a kid. I had his stretchabel action figure, which allowed you to load him up on his motorcycle and send him on a jump. I think Evel Knievel made a bigger fortune on those toys than he ever did on the jumps themselves.
It's funny. I've seen and read stuff about Evel Knievel after I became an adult that made him out to be quite a rogue. As a kid, I thought of Evel Knievel as an All-American hero, not a "character". That only stands to reason. Somebody would have to be a little bit crazy to take all the risks Evel Knievel took.
This game is pure americana. You'll be entertained by salty quotes from today's Evel Knievel, still a little crazy after all these years.
