Knockout Wins

The very best thing about this Merkur Gaming slot is the startup graphics and the background pictures. Unfortunately, the rest of the game is really no up to the standard. Mostly you are looking at a normal classic slot that almost seems like it has been ported from some inferior format, such as brick-and-mortar cabinets.

Theme

The theme is superb, like said, when you open the game and falls flat as soon as you start spinning the reels. The boxer ready to knockout a win creates a feeling one would have wanted to be exploited further with the theme. For some reason, the company has opted to simply go with a setup of a couple of themed symbols and otherwise settling for the nothing new approach. The sound effects are definitely disappointing and copied from thousands of other slots with similar clicks-and-clacks.

Betting Options and Functions

From 0.10 to 20 coins per spins the game is quite cheap to play, the RTP isn’t bad either standing squarely at 96%. The slot uses the superways, also knowns as 243 ways to win, system. This means that as long as the symbol form up continuously from the leftmost reel towards the right through the five reels a win is guaranteed. A minimum of three symbols is needed for a win.

The lower end of wins comes from the playing cards, there are six of these symbols and they pay between 0.50 and ten times the bet. The themed symbols, such as boxing gloves or referee, pay between two and 100 times the bet. As such, the range of wins is quite disappointing allover.

Features

Three or more bonus symbols awards fifteen free spins. The scatter also pays between two and fifty times your bet, depending on how many land on the reels. The free spins come with multipliers that can go all the way to eight times the original prizes. If you are looking to win big bucks in this slot it is quite clear that you need to get into the free spins.

Like pretty much all Reel Time Gaming slots, this one too has the gamble feature. There are two, the card and the ladder gamble. Both give the chance to double your win with an equal chance of losing what you just won. Given the low overall prizes it might be worth trying to double every now and then.

Our Take

The thing I liked most about this game is the cover art. Pretty much everything else is quite disappointing, and the game is hardly even worth trying. For example, the aptly named slot Boxing offers indefinitely more entertainment than this slot. If Reel Time Gaming continues pushing out games like this they won't be in the business for long.
