A Fast-Paced Live Casino Slot with All Action Bonus Features
Code Red is an intriguing five-reel slot from Bally. When you first stand in front of the Code Red cabinet, you might be mistaken for thinking this is a very traditional free slot game. On the reels you have symbols such as sevens, bars and cherries, all symbols associated with classic slots. However, play this game for a while and you’ll realise this all-action game is far from a traditional one.
The highlight of the game is the Code Red bonus round. The U-spin technology sees touch screen technology used, the wheel spinning to reveal a variety of prizes. An added wildfire bonus feature can give you a huge instant boost too.
Classic Slot with a Twist – The Base Game
The most popular format in slot gaming today is the 5×3 reel configuration and this Bally design follows that lead. With 30 win-lines that pay from left to right, this slot follows the same format as many other games – until you land the bonus feature!
The classic ‘fruit machine’ symbols will certainly appeal to those slot traditionalists out there. Alongside the cherries, sevens and bars there is a slightly different looking bell than usual, looking more like a fire alarm. Alongside these symbols is a money bag with a red dollar sign on the front and another dollar sign contained within a blue diamond pattern.
Wildfire Bonus Feature
Throughout the game you’ll find flaming stacked wilds appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5. These wilds will substitute for any other symbol in the game apart from the scatter symbol. If you can land one of the stacked wilds fully on reels 1, 3 or 5, you’ll activate the ‘Wildfire Bonus Feature’. This will now see up to 3 additional wilds added to the non-stacked reels. The best scenario will see reels 1, 3 and 5 fully stacked with wilds and 3 extra wilds added too – this will certainly lead to a mega pay out.
Code Red Bonus Wheel Feature
The bonus wheel symbol appears on reels 1, 3 and 5 – land the symbol on all three and you’ll enter the bonus feature. The screen will now change to a red background and show the words ‘Touch and Slide to Spin Wheel’. You’ll now do exactly what this says, the touch screen technology reacting to your fingers on the screen. Swipe slowly and the wheel will spin slowly, swipe quickly and the wheel spins faster.
The segments on the wheel contain either instant credits, jackpots or free spins.
There are three progressive jackpots – yellow level is the lowest, rising through orange level and red level. These jackpots are available at all bet levels.
The free spins bonus round is perhaps the most interesting part of the game. On the wheel you’ll find segments containing 8, 10 or 12 free games. During the free games feature you’ll find a box above each of the five reels. These boxes contain either bonus credits, wild symbols or locked symbols. Land a ‘Code Red’ symbol on a reel and you’ll win the prize above. The credit amount is awarded to you immediately, while the wild award will land a sticky wild on the reel. The best symbol is the ‘locked’ one, which will turn the reel completely wild. Both the sticky wilds and locked wild reels will remain in place for the duration of the feature.
Retro Cool – Code Red Design
All those traditional wild symbols on the reels give the slot something of a retro look. The shadow on the white reels signifies that traditional curvature of the reels, despite the flat screen. Land the bonus free spins feature and the symbols are given a modern, neon look, changing the feel of the game completely. The U-spin wheel is certainly a nice surprise the first time you land it, using the touch screen technology to the full. The accompanying sound is a nice mix of functional when the reels are spinning, and an exciting jingle when you win.
Wheels and Reels – Code Red Overview
Code Red is one of the most entertaining slots on the casino floor. Don’t be fooled by the classic look – this is a very modern slot. The base game is given a huge boost by those wild reels, which can land the Wildfire Bonus at any time. However, the real highlight is the Code Red feature. With instant wins, jackpots and the original free spins feature, this is a bonus round you simply must play.
