Champion Raceway

If you’re a fan of horse racing AND video slots, then you will appreciate this offering from IGT which perfectly combines the two. It offers a simple, 3x1 reel set, along with just 5 paylines. While it is representative of a classic slot, its features are by no means average. They include a wild multiplier, Raceway Derby feature, and Victory Lap Bonus!

Theme

Horse racing is the primary focus across the reels, and the background is made up of a teal screen. A row of lanes is located along the top of the game, each with a jockey and his horse, waiting to take off, and take the victory. Each time the reels are spun, one of the horses will move a bit closer to the finish line. Gaming symbols consist of familiar fruit icons, including lemons, grapes, oranges, watermelons, plums, and a multiplier symbol.

Betting Options And More Functions

A simple set of functions can be found along the bottom of the screen. A yellow, circular button can be used to get the reels moving. Select this option to begin revealing any of a variety of win combinations. All prizes accumulated will be revealed in the ‘Win’ box.

Plus and minus buttons can be found beneath ‘Line Bet,’ and these may be used to increase or decrease the bet amount, which will automatically adjust in the ‘Total Bet’ space as well.

If you wish to view possible payouts, or feature details at any point during the game, select the ‘Pays’ option, near the tip, right corner of the screen.

Features

The 3x symbol, framed by red roses, represents the Wild Multiplier. It can match any other symbol on a payline in which it occurs. It will also triple win combinations it contributes to. Additionally, all symbols, except for this one, can include the derby ribbon sub symbol. When this appears on the screen, the horse having the same color will move closer to the finish line and award a prize or feature.

Red, green, and yellow will award monetary prizes of 300, 100, and 50. Blue and purple, on the other hand, will trigger features. Blue will award 10 victory lap free spins, while purple awards 5!

During the 10 free spins, you can look forward to multipliers ranging from 4x to 13x, while the 5 spins boast multipliers ranging from 2x to 10x!

Our Take

This IGT title is most definitely tricky at first. One look will have you reaching an instant conclusion of thinking it is a classic game with little to no features. However, a few spins later, you’ll realize it’s loaded with a wealth of unique features.
