Boy was I excited when I first caught a glimpse of Rival Gaming’s newest interactive slot beauty: Heavyweight Gold! Being a hardcore boxing fan myself I couldn’t help but leave aside everything I was doing at the moment to try this baby out. This is the first i-slot of 2010 and I couldn’t think of a better way to start off the year. Put on your boxing gloves cause it’s time to kick some serious butt.
Heavyweight Gold features 20 paylines and you can wager up to 10 coins per spin. Landing 3, 4 or 5 opponent symbols triggers the Knock Out bonus round. In this bonus round you must defeat your opponents in order to climb the boxing rankings. When your opponent is about to punch you in the face you must block this action out by holding the “defend” button. When your opponent is not moving you must use the “attack” button to try and knock him out. Of course, whenever you need some help your coach is always there to help you with some tips. This bonus round was so entertaining and fun that it brought me back to the days of repeatedly watching the Rocky Balboa films and playing the super classic Mike Tyson’s Punch Out nintendo game.
When you get 3, 4 or 5 Sexy Girl icons you will get 10, 20 and 100 free spin rounds respectively. What’s so great about the free spin rounds is that you get to multiply all your winnings by three. You can not beat that one! Heavyweight Gold also features an expanding wild symbol which will get you up to 1000 coins if you’re lucky to land 5 of them. Other icons in the game include the heavyweight gold belt, your coach, a bucket, a medical kit, the referee, the bell and other symbols elusive to the boxing theme.
