Titanic Slot Review

In the realm of both movies themselves and the film inspired slots which result they don’t come much bigger than Director James Cameron’s epic 1997 blockbuster about the sinking of the ‘unsinkable ship’ on its maiden voyage. The film was the highest grossing film of all time when released, catapulting many actors careers to stardom and is still one of only two films to gross more than 2 billion worldwide (The other being Cameron’s ‘Avatar’) in total revenue.

Las Vegas based developer Bally are no stranger to movie and TV themed slots given their official collaborations on the Grease film franchise and the Vegas TV hit based Pawn Stars Video Slot. When it comes to tackling a game release like this it was definitely in good hands, the multi-line, multi-stake game which was produced has become one of the most played film-based games so far in the industry.

Theme

Some movie themed slots are a little thin when it comes to using the source material available, Titanic does the opposite, immersing you in the films backdrop theme from the moment you take a seat. The overhead video board uses the films theatrical poster to display the current system wide progressive jackpot value which when last won represented the biggest Bally jackpot ever paid at 3.7 Million Dollars! Throw in a few movie cut scenes in a very elaborate game intro and you are onto the game reels themselves.

The three stake options (1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class) all have their own independent symbols in addition to the cross-stake used common icons such as the Rose & Jack scatter symbols and the ship itself. This 3 tier system creates an absolute mass of possible film symbols to see, use, and hopefully combine – you will be clicking the pay-table on this game far more than on some traditional slot games despite the simple reel structure.

Features

With a 0.40 credit min and 4.00 credit max bet across the 3 class tiers the game appeals to both high and low stakes players, rather than excluding one section or the other as in most slots. Playing either the 1st or 2nd class stakes will allow you a shot at the three progressive jackpots, the mini jackpot and maxi jackpot are available in the mystery feature round and if you are lucky enough to match 5 Jack and Rose symbols on the reels at any time – the Titanic master progressive jackpot will drop.

Three Titanic symbols drops you onto the unique U-Spin feature, where an animated ships wheel can grant you credits, the ‘safe’ feature, ‘pickup’ feature or one of the bonus mystery features!

The ‘safe feature’ is a pick win bonus round, where you can select one of ten safes to multiple your line bet value by the displayed amount in the safe you picked. The ‘pickup feature’ is a 6 tier choose game, from each tier you can reveal one symbol which will be either a multiplier or credits, the last tier will be a multiplier which will affect all picks up to that point!

This brings us to the free spins rounds – the first of which is the ‘make it count’ spins, which grant you ten free spins on 5 bonus reels with a mass of wilds available, additional free spins can be retriggered during the round!

The second and more lucrative spins round is the heart of the ocean spins, where you select from 30/15/10/6 spins at a multiplier of 1/2/3 and 5 respectively. The huge diamond which gives these free spins its name serves as an expanding wild which will line up some truly huge wins. All three progressive jackpots are also available in the free spins round if you find five of the Jack and Rose symbols.

The biggest Mystery round is Jacks drawing bonus, based on the famous scene in the movie when Jack sketches Rose. This fallows you to select hidden symbols until you match 3x icons, awarding you a multiplier of up to 1500x your line bet.

Summary

One of the biggest movies of all time deserves a slot to do it justice, Titanic does that and much more.

Make no mistake this 5×3 Reel video slot is one of the most complete movie themed slots available, with huge integration of Celine Dion’s music soundtrack (itself a record breaker), video cut scenes, voice quotes from the movie, masses of bonus features and no less than three progressive Jackpots! Originally only a land-based slot this is soon to be replicated as an online slot with web browser play, full mobile compatibility and even a free play version will be available.
