Bally’s
Technologies Pawn Stars is a 5-reel, 25-line video slot available in
all denominations with a 250-credit max bet.
It’s based off of the insanely popular TV show of the same name and
features it’s most recognizable characters in Rick, The Old Man, Cory and Chumlee.
The game has two 22-inch videos screens, a bonus wheel on
top of those as well as a surround sound chair.
Before you begin to play, you get to choose whom you would like to play
the game as. Who you pick will determine
the colors, pictures and symbols you see in the game. It also makes any wins with that characters
symbol in the base game and free spins bonus double in value.
During the base game, a random “Item Selection Feature”
allows you to pick from 20 options to reveal not only a credit award but also
an item that can be used to sell at the pawn shop later. All items collected are placed in an
“inventory” for you to use, should you trigger the “Negotiation bonus”
Bonus Rounds
When you get a “Diamond Bonus” symbol on the 1st
and 5th reels, you get to spin the Bonus wheel. This spin will determine if you receive
instant credit prizes or enter into one of the bonus rounds, which include free
games, the Chumlee Video Bonus, the Treasure Bonus or the Negotiation bonus. This is done by either touching the game screen
or the iDeck LCD button pad on the game deck.
You also have the option of spinning the wheel clockwise or counter
clockwise.
In the Treasure bonus,
you get to watch a video from one of the stars of the show, then awarded a multiplier
that can be anything from 4-60 times of your total bet.
There are 3 Chumlee
bonus features. In each, you are
again awarded a multiplier based on what your total bet was ranging this time from
2-20x. However, depending on which one
you land on, you can see Chumlee dressed up as either a Pharaoh, a Leprechaun
or a Cowboy each with a special video.
The Free Spin
Bonus can award 10–20 spins with a random multiplier of 3-6 times
The Negotiation
Bonus – This is the feature bonus.
Here, either the old man, Rick, Cory or Chumlee will appear and ask you
to choose one of the items they have earned during the base games “Item
Selection feature” to sell. If you
haven’t been awarded any items during the base game, the bonus will
automatically give you one.
Once you select the item, the bonus round simulates what it
would be like to attempt to sell something in the store. Sometimes you will simply receive a credit
offer for the item but usually negotiations begin. When that happens you’ll be asked “How much
where you looking to get out of this”?
Here you will see several amounts listed on the screen to choose
from. Depending on the one you select,
you can receive a response like “I can’t pay you that much. I’ll give you…”. The negotiations continue like this until you
eventually find a price somewhere in the middle. In some cases, just like the show, the
authenticity of your item can be called into question. In these cases, you can either accept the
last offer you were given or allow an expert to determine if it is real or
not. If the item you are trying to sell
is real, you’ll receive double the last offer you were made. If your item is a fake, you get nothing.
