About The Vanishing Act
The Vanishing Act is an online video slot brought to us from IGT. IGT is a reputable casino software design company, which has been in this business for years, and we can rest assure that game play with them will be safe and secure, as well as great entertainment. This slot is themed on magic, as in Houdini type slight-of-hand escapism, and is a five reel, forty line game, with a chance to win 1000 coins in game, and more in a bonus feature.
Special Features
There are some special features in this slot that we are not all that familiar with, and this makes the game decidedly unique. Low paying icons consist of traditional card indices – Ace, King, Queen, Jack and ten, and higher paying icons are the Vanishing Act logo, the male protagonist in handcuffs, upside down and underwater, and two different female counterparts – one blonde, and one brunette.
Reels contain stacks of symbols that form into one, where these positions on the reel change at the start of each game. The Vanishing Act logo is Wild, and also the highest paying in-game icon, It substitutes for all other symbols, and reels don’t spin in the traditional way, they sort of flicker down the screen. Animation is pretty strange, but this can actually be turned off by the player, so can ambient sounds.
Betting takes place over one line, ten, twenty, thirty or forty, and starts at a penny a pop. The highest bet per line is 10.00, and this makes for a maximum wager of a massive 400.00. I don’t know who would be prepared to spend that, for a chance to win, but it is possible that this might appeal to the high-roller. It is a very possible reality to win big in the bonus feature – for a 0.05 wager over forty lines (2.00), we won 93.65 from the free spins bonus game.
Bonus Features
The bonus game in this slot is a Free Games Bonus – this is triggered by the “Free Games” icon when it lands in any position on reels two, three and four. Seven free games are given away and these play automatically, and different reels play during this game. Unfortunately these free spins may not be re-triggered during the bonus round, however, more stacked symbols than normal are also available at this time. This means much more winning potential.
