Pedal Power Slots

Pedal-PowerPedal Power, though it doesn’t look like a modern slot machine, is a game that every fan of bicycle racing should try out. The reason is that this Microgaming slot machine seems to be the only title of its kind, offering you a theme where you get to see the participants to the race, along with their cool bikes. The design of the game doesn’t do it any favors, at least I’m not a fan, but it’s not something you could call ugly.

A game that has a total of 15 paylines for you, Pedal Power has 5 reels to host them, plus as features you have free spins, multipliers which can reach 10x, a scatter and a wild. Its top prize is only worth $4,000.

Features of Pedal Power

The game has for you a couple of decent features, nothing extraordinary though, including the wild symbol and the scatter that awards prizes and which can also bring you free spins and some very good multipliers.

The Gold Trophy symbol is a worthy image to see on the symbol which awards the top jackpot and which acts as the wild feature at the same time. The jackpot is obtained when the wild occupies all five positions on the same active line, and it will give you 2,000x what the line wager was. As a wild, it will substitute for all other symbols, except for the smartwatch scatter.

The Smartwatch, used as a scatter in the game, has two roles, just like the wild. It works differently though, triggering its prizes by being in enough spots during the same round, being scattered as the name accurately describes it. Anywhere from two to five scattered symbols will be sufficient to give you a prize, worth in the range of 1x to 100x the bet.

Free Games Feature

The same scattered Smartwatch gives out the free spins as well, not just cash prizes. You need 3 to 5 scatters to be present, and when that happens you get access to the free spins.

You have a choice here, with three options that offer different multipliers and free spins. Option #1 will give you the highest number of free spins, 25, but the smallest multiplier, at 2x. Option #2 is the middle ground, with 10 free spins and a 5x multiplier. A 10x multiplier is available for the 5 free spins of option #3. Go for the one you prefer.

Betting options and jackpots

There are more coins in a line bet then there are cents in the coin’s denomination. The denomination goes up to $0.10, while the line bet uses up to 20 coins. With 15 lines in the game, you can use 300 coins total, with a value of $30.

Since you only get a 2,000x jackpot, the most you can take home is a $4,000 prize. Should you be happy with that amount? I say you shouldn’t, there are slots out there with much bigger jackpots.

Design and symbols

The theme is built around the world of competitive bike racing, so many of the symbols are inspired by it. There are the usual bike racing themed symbols, with the racers in the middle of the action, but there are some playing cards as well, though they all have some kind of biker equipment next to them. I’m not a fan of the simple bright blue background which was used, I think it gives the game a much too dated look.

Is It Worth Playing?

Most people should probably avoid this game, the top jackpot value being to blame here. Fans of bike racing can give it a try though, it has the right theme, decent graphics and good features, with high multipliers in the free spins.

The Pedal Power slot machine is offered through the Microgaming platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
