That’s the name of one of the new iSlots that are showing up at Rival powered casinos online.  iSlots are pretty eye-catching slot games.  They are a combination slot machine, video story game playing experience.  If that makes any sense.

For instance, the HeavyWeight Gold machine is a 20 payline video style slot game.  Here’s a snapshot of it. . .

It’s obviously a boxing themed slot, with symbols like a barbell, ring referee, and black-eyed characters. It also has a spit bucket and speed bag to help bring home the feel of the gym.

It’s always fun to see what kind of theme they can put on a slot machine next, and the Ring Rat flavor of this take on boxing is fun. 

There are plenty of ways to land a winning combination, and the fact that the machine has an expanding WILD symbol helps.  If you land a WILD symbol, and it helps to complete a payline, the WILD will expand and cover the entire column on the slot.  That helps by potentially completing even more winning combinations.

A lot of modern slots won’t stop at having that one extra feature.  The HeavyWeight Gold game also adds a FREE SPINS symbol to the mix.   Land three or more of the Lovely Ring Girl symbols and you trigger a Free Spins Session that last as long as 100 spins!

The thing about an iSlot that makes it an iSlot is the “interactivity”.  In HeavyWeight Gold, the interactivity comes in the Bonus Round Game - which puts you into the boxing ring.

Every time you unlock a Bonus Round, you’ll be facing off against a different opponent. I started out battling the meek Melvin Meyerstein, and worked my way up to Crusher McKillicuty. My final bout was against the fearsome “Back” Ali Bloodsoe.

After each bout you are scored on

  • effectiveness
  • accuracy
  • defense
  • style
  • Overall

Of course, the idea is to come out on top in the end . . . .
