Pearl Harbor

Whether you’re familiar with it from history or movies, the attack on Pearl Harbor left a huge mark in history. Being no stranger to World War 2 themed games, software provider NoLimit City turns their attention towards the same once again.

The title reminds plenty of the studio’s recent releases but also contains new innovations and engaging scenery changes to keep punters on the edge of their seats.

Let’s get started, there’s plenty to cover.

Theme and Symbols

As you’re aware by now, the game revolves around the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that occured back in the year of 1941. Interestingly enough, the studio decided to give players a Japanese point of view, hence the following relation between the gameplay and the pay table.

Japanese-style A-10 royals make up for the least valued Icons whereas 4 Soldiers represent more worthy symbols. The Scatter takes the form of a Japanese Flag and there’s a plethora of extra symbols that we’ll cover in the following section of this review, stay tuned.

Betting Options and Features

The Pearl Harbor online slot is played on a 7x7 cluster paying layout, each spin starts with 3x3 area active, with the best odds ratio of 96,21%. According to the provider, the title is of extreme volatility and has a maximum exposure of 41,127x the stake.

When reaching for the betting range, it goes anywhere from 0,20 - 100,00 credits per strike but can be increased via the xBet Banzai feature. There are two options here, first increases your stakes by 50%, increasing your chance of triggering the Dogfight round by guaranteeing 1 Scatter in the active area.

The second option increases your stakes by 100% whilst guaranteeing 2 Scatters in the active area, hence the increased chance of triggering the Tora! Tora! Tora! feature.

With that out of the way, let’s dive into the innovative mechanics and features of this online one-armed bandit. Firstly, winning combos disappear from the reels, allowing fresh Symbols to fill the gaps. The process repeats until no win hits.

Scatter Symbol - These can land only 1 per reel on any of the reels but, however, only count if in the active area. Should a Scatter get split and bonus mode activated, the multiplier of the Scatter will become x-Multiplier in the first bonus multiplier addition.

xBomb Wild Multiplier - These can blow away up to 10 symbols when appearing in the active area. If it lands in a corner of the active area, it will expand the grid by 1 reel and 1 row. On the other hand, landing adjacently to the active area borders it will expand the grid by either 1 reel or 1 row.

In case of a split, it takes on a x2 multiplier on the first split and then doubles for each subsequent split. This Symbol also increases the win multiplier by 1 for the next Avalanche or the x-Multiplier value. Lastly, Scatters and Wilds that do not form a win combination are not blown away from the grid.

Target - The Target Symbol can land anywhere on the reels. If not in the active area, then the grid expands to include it into the active area. On the other hand, if it lands in the active area, it transforms into a Wild Symbol.

xSplit - Comes in the shape of a Sword and splits all symbols in the direction of the sword's handle. Initially, there can be one or two swords that point out either horizontally or vertically ( one direction per sword ).

As per usual by now, xSplit symbols only activate when in the active area, after Avalanche, and if it gets split itself, another Sword is awarded. In case of it having 4 Swords, a new split adds a x2 multiplier.

Moreover, if the xSplit Symbol has a multiplier when activated, all Symbols it splits also benefit from the multiplier or get their multiplier increased by the xSplit Multiplier value. Scatters, Targets and xBombs get a x2 multiplier when split.

Lastly, when the duty of the xSplit symbol is done, it transforms into a Wild Symbol with a multiplier value.

Colossal Symbol - Colossal Symbols can land in sizes of 2x2 or 3x3 and when in the active area, they expand their rectangular area so that the Colossal Symbol becomes a part of the active area. In addition, there’s a couple of extras added when coinciding with xSplit Symbol.

Dogfight Bonus Mode - 3 Scatters take players into an Aircraft Cockpit with 3 Free Spins and 18 Dials. The Dials spin to reveal either multiplier, x-multiplier or blanks. Should you manage to fill a Dial column, the Dogfight Attack is triggered.

All multipliers from the column are activated and in case the attack hits the plane, players are awarded the prize values. Additionally, filling all 18 Dials launches the Kamikaze attack where a Wheel grants multipliers or misses.

If the Ship is hit, the multipliers are added to the overall round.

Tora! Tora! Tora! - It takes 4 Scatters to enter the round which is played exactly the same as the Dogfight bonus with addition of Midway Pop and The Bomb Drop extras.

• Midway Pop - Activated once a multiplier lands on the middle row dial. Punters can win either multiplier or x-multiplier values here.

• The Bomb Drop - Filling a full row of Dials triggers this extra where a bomb gets dropped and if its hits the ship, all multipliers on the row are added and multiplied by all x-multipliers on the row. In addition, there’s a twist when a row is full of x-multipliers.

To conclude with the features section, players can opt to purchase various options via the NoLimit Bonus feature which is presented and offered in the vast majority of NoLimit City’s online slots.
