IGT—Fast-Hit Progressives™
Fast-Hit Progressives™ invigorates the spinning reel world with the industry’s first 5-reel, 30-payline shared progressive and community play bonus. Players sitting down to this bank of games will be drawn to the allure of a colorful yet traditional spinning reel as they play for the multi-colored progressives: yellow, red, blue, green and purple. When the progressive hits, the winner receives an experience brand new to the spinning reel world. As they receive the corresponding jackpot, another award of the same value is split equally among the other players at the bank playing maximum bet. Players will want to share this gaming experience. Randomly, a traditional “7” symbol appears and moves across players’ top-boxes. When it stops, an animation celebration occurs and awards extra credits, creating shared excitement. While any player can trigger the community play bonus, max bets increase the possibility and the game’s coin-in. Five multi-colored community progressives and a community bonus unify players to capture attention and extend play time. For more information, visit www.igt.com.
