The Red Baron Slots
The Red Baron is a dastardly slot machine from iSoftBet, paying homage to one of Germany’s greatest pilots, possibly of all time. During his career, Manfred von Richthofen, aka the Red Baron, was successful in over 80 inflight battles. His string of victories having earned him the title that has been used ever since.
Many renditions about his life, and the man he was, have been told in films, television series and books. But for those who want a friendly, less stodgy dose of history, you can play the 5-reels of this game. In it you will watch as the Baron goes on a rampage, conquering all who fly in his skies; whether you’re a fan of the man or not, you can’t deny the allure of his tale.
You’ll be able to shoot down planes in the name of big bonuses, roll the winlines courtesy of the scatter symbol and its free spins, and drop bombs that will explode lesser tiles in favour of the wild. Seeing as there’s €50,000 on the line, isn’t it about time we got moving and up up and away…!
Painted Red
The skies themselves will bleed when you enter the bonus round, a feat only possible when you get yourself either three, four or five of the Baron’s bonus tiles. These can be found anywhere upon the matrix, helping to ease the tension as you battle it out to secure the mini game.
Once you’re airborne and the world falls away, you’ll have to shoot down enemy planes to get yourself prizes, some of the returns more considerable than the others. The controls and graphics move away from that of a slot machine and turn the game into a first person shooter. We like the final result, even if we couldn’t shoot another plane to save our lives; we’d have been named the Hopeless Baron.
Chocks Away!
Whilst you’re up there, circling about, you may as well use your machine for more than shooting at other people - take those bombs and hit the enemy where it hurts most. On the ground. If players get several wilds upon the 5-reels, they could see a payout worth €10,000, though for that to happen they’ll need five bombs to land all at once upon a winline.
No matter if this doesn’t happen though, as the scatter symbol will come to your rescue and line up 10 free games for you to enjoy. To make the rounds even more satisfying, multipliers have been applied, with the five of a kind scatter gifting you x100 of your winnings.
Start ‘Er Up!
Warming up your engine and getting her ready to flight is of the utmost importance, with the money you bet being the fuel with which she takes off. iSoftBet have made their pay-in low so as to avoid penalising gamers, meaning for just 0.01 credits per winline you can play. Nonetheless, while accessibility is always welcomed, there are some pilots out there who need the taste of blood and sweat to make the game more entertaining, and for those of you the maximum wager is 25 credits.
Alongside being able to tinker about with your bird, you have the chance to take her on a trip that could double up your earnings, or could see you crushed with failure. The Double or Quit is the double edged sword of the brand, and it’s one whose sting can be everlasting. At the same time, customers can get x5 of their reward, making it as appealing as it is lethal to your wallet.The Baron Flies Again
Some may call the subject matter tasteless, but we think it’s a delight, making a part of history more approachable for everyone, rather than sectioning it off for only the elite to enjoy. There’s no real lesson to be learnt here, but that’s not the reason why The Red Baron was created, it was made to be enthralling, and it most certainly exceeds at that. If you enjoyed this slot machine, you’ll probably appreciate The Rebel or Shopping Mania.
