Whacked review

Theme and Style

Whacked invites players into the seedy world of organized crime.

Players will find themselves in the inner circle of a group of mobsters, with more than a few weapons at their disposal. Plenty of thrills await, but any man who steps out of line will meet a dire fate.

Some players may not be in the mood for the gritty atmosphere of Whacked, but for those longing for some action this slot is a good fit.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack of Whacked has a nonchalant feel with plenty of meandering whistling notes. This suggests that the violent activities at hand are just a casual occurrence for this cast of characters.

Behind the reels, players will see a desert landscape with sparse vegetation and an array of old cars in the distance. This desolate setting seems like the perfect place to bury a body.

Among the symbols, players will find rope, brass knuckles, knives, and guns. This seems like a useful selection of materials for a mobster trying to complete a murder.

Character symbols can be found on the reels too, each with a distinct personality. Some look jaded, while others look horrified and angry. Each criminal seems hardened by his profession, bringing to mind films such as The Godfather.

Together, the soundtrack and animation of Whacked create a dark world of crime and murder.

Gameplay

Whacked is a five-reel, three-row slot.

Wins are awarded for landing matching symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The Cascade feature means that winning symbols vanish after paying out, allowing new symbols to fall in from above.

The maximum payout for this slot is 11,912x of the player’s total bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Lock N Load feature means that every winning combination loads bullets into a cylinder. After the cylinder is fully loaded and no more wins are possible, the bullets will randomly fire at high-paying symbols. Those that are hit will be replaced by an Overlay Wild. If fewer than six high-paying symbols are visible, bullets can be saved for later.

The xWays symbol has the special ability to expand to become 2 or 4 symbols. This always creates half symbols, which pay just as regular symbols do.

When players land 3 Scatters, the Whacked Spins feature begins. This feature always starts with a collected value of 1x at the base of every reel.

The Whacked Spins feature begins with 3 free spins, with the count resetting whenever a win is achieved. Coin values, xWays symbols, and xNudge symbols also reset the spin count to 3.

During Whacked Spins, the xWays symbol will always expand to reveal 3 Coin values ranging from 1x to 20x the base bet.

If the xRevolver symbol lands during the Whacked spins, one of the 6 options in the cylinder will be picked. If that option is the Russian Roulette feature, then the spin count will be reset to 3, but will not reset again.

The xNudge symbol can expand and award multipliers of 1x, 2x, or 3x, depending on its position. Every nudge increases the xNudge symbols multiplier.

Conclusion

We recommend this average RTP, high volatility, mafia-themed slot.

The violent atmosphere and realistic illustrations of weapons of Whacked may not be every player’s cup of tea. However, for those who are up for some darker themes, this slot is engrossing.

The array of bonus features adds further appeal, while the solid RTP, and ample volatility will please mathematically-minded players.
