The rockets are wild in this game and you can see them firing across the reels at top speed. Fortunately, it’s a good thing when you’re playing this slot. Brought to your screens by Novomatic, Wild Rocket is exciting, intriguing and most of all – welcoming. Its reels contain icons of the traditional nature, so you’ll get to see fruits and 7s spinning through them. Further to this, every time you do set them off spinning, you will hear a quirky piece of music playing. And as far as the game’s graphics go, these are all of the highest quality. So, not only will you get an entertaining round of gameplay, but it’s visually pleasing as well. So, all in all, it offers up a nice game from the get go. But, we’re also interested to find out what kind of special features it contains. So, let’s take a look together.
The design of this game offers up a nice and almost unique layout. In it, you’ll get to see five reels and five rows, which is a taller offering than most slot games. Furthermore, Novomatic has made sure to add a total of 50 different pay lines as well. These lines are all set in place, so you do not have the option to customise them at all. However, you can change around the value of the wager that you place on these lines. This is done with the plus and minus buttons underneath the ‘Line Bet’ section. There, you can alter your wager between the minimum of $0.01 and upwards to $0.40. This means that a maximum overall wager amount of $20 per spin is possible. You can also make use of the game’s ‘Autoplay’ button as well. This allows you to set the reels off spinning several consecutive times at the same wager level.As far as the visual side of this game goes, you will get to see a background of a playful rocket in the midst of soaring around the screen. Then, upon the game’s reels is where you will find the range of different icons. The first of these are all relative to the fruit symbols that you find in traditional slots. Therefore, you’ll get to see the orange and plum first of all. Then comes the lemon and the cherries. Each of these four can provide a maximum reward of $10. You’ll also get to see symbols of the watermelon and the bunch of grapes. Next in line is the golden star and the copper bell. These can reward you with a maximum pay out of $30. And finally, there’s the icon of the red number 7. Should you spin five of these into view on a winning bet line, you will receive a maximum pay out of $40.
As well as offering up a standard base game with unique reel layout, Wild Rocket also provides some intriguing specialities. For example, you’ll be able to see an icon of the word ‘WILD’. This one, obviously, provides the game with its wild symbol. As such, it will substitute for any other icon on the reels in order to form a winning combination. The only exception to this rule is that of the scatter symbol. And if you manage to bring five of the wild icons into view on a winning pay line by themselves, huge pay outs can be won!As we made mention of, there is a scatter icon in this game too. Scatter icons can provide you with a reward wherever they show up on the reels. For example, five of them in view can reward you with up to $50 in total. However, further to this, three or more of them will trigger the freespins round with five active Rockets. Three of the scatters will give you seven freespins, while four offer up a total of 15 freespins. Finally, five of the scatter icons on the reels give you a total of 50 freespins.
During both freespins and the base game, the Speed Fire Feature can become active. If a special reel sector (which look like purple and blue images with the word ‘WILD’ on them) stops opposite the Rocket on the first reel, this begins. It will trigger the Rocket, which will turn both the special reel sector and all linked special sectors into wild icons. And during the freespins round, five of these rockets are active at once on every single spin!
Finally, you’ll find that the game also features its very own gamble round. This becomes active whenever you form a win during the base game. If you choose to play this round, you will see a new screen come into play. This will feature a pinball machine on it. Whenever you press the ‘Gamble’ button, a ball will drop into play. It will then fire around the interface and if it hits the ‘X3’ or ‘X5’ obstacles three or five times, respectively, the multiplier increases by this amount. The ball then needs to land in a multiplier slot in order for your winnings to receive this multiplier amount. If it lands in the ‘Lose’ section, the winnings from the triggering round are all lost.
WYOMISSING, Pa. & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Penn National Gaming, Inc. (PENN: Nasdaq) (“Penn National” or the “Company”) announced today that it acquired Rocket Games, Inc. (“Rocket”), a leading developer of social casino games, for approximately $60 million cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, including potential earn-out payments for certain members of the Rocket Games management team. The earn-out payments over the next two years will be based on a multiple of 6.25 times Rocket’s then-trailing twelve month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), subject to a cap of $110 million for the earn-out. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to Penn National’s operating results.
Founded in 2013 by game developers Bill Gelpi (Chief Executive Officer) and Steven Jian (Chief Technology Officer), the management team was rounded out in 2014 by fellow Zynga veterans Niko Vuori (Chief Operating Officer) and Justin Cooper (Chief Content Officer). Today Rocket has a team of over 30 employees based in its San Francisco office. Rocket was recognized by industry experts Eilers & Krejcik Gaming as the fastest growing social casino company in 2015, growing by over 500% and reaching a top-15 position globally in the growing social casino gaming segment, partially based on its leadership position in the rapidly growing classic 3-reel mechanical slots genre (3RM). Rocket generated approximately $5.6 million of operating EBITDA during the six month period ended June 30, 2016.
Rocket’s library of over 50 social casino games feature hits such as Viva Slots Las Vegas, Downtown Deluxe Slots, Triple Double Slots and Vegas Jackpot Casino, along with popular licensed titles such as Popeye Classic Slots. Rocket’s social slot games are available on the iTunes App Store, the Google Play store, on Amazon and via Facebook. Following the transaction Rocket will continue to be headquartered in San Francisco and its existing management team will continue to run day-to-day operations.
Penn National Gaming President and CEO, Timothy J. Wilmott, commented, “Penn National’s accretive acquisition of Rocket highlights our ongoing strategic initiative to acquire emerging growth platforms that complement, and allow us to leverage, our core regional gaming operations and database of over three million active customers.
“Since the separation of our gaming assets from our real estate assets in 2013 we have been highly focused on a broad range of growth and diversification initiatives. Launched last year, Penn National’s Hollywoodcasino.com and Hollywoodslots.com social casino offerings have been very well received by players, are profitable and serve as effective customer acquisition tools for our operations. Based on our internal analysis, a significant segment of Penn National’s database customers actively participate in social and online gaming, and we believe there are meaningful operating and revenue synergies between Penn National’s operations, our Hollywoodcasino.com and Hollywoodslots.com social casino offerings and Rocket’s operations that will drive near- and long-term growth for our shareholders.”
Chris Sheffield, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of iGaming at Penn National Gaming, added, “We are excited to acquire a best-in-class social casino game developer in a transaction that greatly expands our in-house capabilities and further diversifies our portfolio of leading gaming entertainment assets. Rocket’s growth and industry and consumer acclaim over the past 12 months is impressive given their lack of funding from outside investors or access to the resources and experience of an established casino operator.
“Rocket’s flagship game ‘Viva Slots Vegas’ is mobile casino gaming’s ‘classic slots’ leader, having attracted a growing audience of over 200,000 average daily active players, and we believe Rocket provides Penn National with an effective platform to further cross promote our already successful social and online operations as well as our existing portfolio of regional gaming properties.
“Our internal research confirms that social and online gaming is highly complementary to our core regional gaming operations and a key component of our gaming entertainment offerings whose importance grows each day. This acquisition will provide a highly accomplished team, content and platform to rapidly grow our footprint in this space and engage with our customers, building loyalty and retention while serving as a significant channel for new customer acquisition.”
Bill Gelpi, Chief Executive Officer of Rocket, added, “The entire Rocket team is delighted to join the Penn National family and leverage their expertise and nationwide reach to take our game development capabilities and company growth to the next level. Social and online gaming is an extremely attractive segment of mobile and online gaming, and tying our innovative gaming expertise to a traditional casino operator with a qualified database of customers will create unmatched opportunities for both Rocket Games and Penn National.”
