The Back Nine is a sequel of the very successful Rival Gaming golf-themed interactive slot game called Hole in Won. Of course, The Back Nine is also a game that has to do with everything golf and is made up of 15 pay lines and 5 reels where players can wager up to 5 coins per line. The coin size in The Back Nine range from $0.01 to $1.00. The folks at Rival really took their time with their release of this sequel and one can really tell in the advancements of their graphic and sound effects. The symbols in the game seem to be much more elaborate and whenever the reels spin the background of these icons become translucid and reveal a sand dune in the golf course.
The symbols in the game are clearly of the golf world and some are even a re-do from the Hole in Won game, but perhaps better animated. Some of the icons include the golf bag, the lady golfer, golf clubs, a golf cart, The Back Nine and the golf course holes. When players first watch the introductory video they will notice all a golfer hitting a hole in one and many of these symbols will be present too. The jackpot symbol in the game is the trophy and will pay out 750 coins when five of them are landed on any active pay line. The wild symbol is the flag that is used to indicate the hole and will appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. This wild is also expanding and will fill the entire reel.
The bonus game in this video slot is activated when three or more of the male symbols appear anywhere on the reels. This bonus game is perhaps what makes this game really stand out form other games because it requires certain amount of skill to be won. When players first triggered the round they will taken to Hole 1. And the next time the bonus round is activated players will be taken to the next hole till all nine are completed.
