Animated Graphics
Racing for Pinks is a well designed slot game. The graphics are smooth and modern and full of animations both in the base game as well as in the second screen bonus game. Racing for Pinks is a busy slot, with background to the reels being the brightly lit home straight of a raceway. All the symbols are detailed and done in bright colours with an almost cartoony style. The sound track features the revving of v8 engines as well as an exciting musical track that adds to the vibe.
Hotrod Symbols
All the symbols in Racing for Pinks are theme based. There are no basic deck of cards in the game which makes for a welcome change. A range of souped up racing cars grace the reels with exhaust fumes, from the pink buggy and green import right at the bottom being worth 600 coins for five, up to the grey custom and the fiery hotrod which are worth 1500 coins for five. In between we have a black muscle car and a golden power car worth 1200 coins for five of them. Since Racing for Pinks is a 243 Ways to Win slot, you don’t have to find these symbols all in a row. Simply finding identical symbols adjacent to each other is enough to create a win.
The game’s wild is the Racing for Pinks icon, which is also the most valuable symbol in the game like many wilds in iPhone slots AU. Five of these will award the player 6000 coins, and they will also substitute for other base symbols to create more wins.
Scatter symbols appear on reels one and five, and will award you with free spins as well as a multiplier.
