Slot machines and the lottery have one big thing in common. They both offer tremendous wins for a small bet. Now with Lotto Madness you can combine both games into one exciting package. The game uses the highly popular five reel, twenty line format and comes in coin sizes starting at just one cent.
In an interesting twist you need to place a $1 side bet in order to have access to the progressive jackpot and the progressive is not won on the reels. This means that while you can play max bet at the penny coins size for just 20ยข a spin you are looking at $1.20 a spin if you want a shot at the jackpot. There are quite a few coins sizes to choose from going up to $1.
Basically, Lotto Madness is a 2in1 game which tries to seduce and make satisfied players who equally love slot games and lotto. The main game of this 5-reel, 20-payline slot also commits to lotto but works as an ordinary slot. It has lotto balls, champagne, $ sign, stack of money icons.
Lotto Madness is quite a feature packed game. Firstly the wins on the reels. There are a total of 36 winning combinations with pays ranging from 5 to 10,000 coins. Five wild lotto cards offer the biggest win of 10,000 coins. Second highest pay is 1,000 for five stacks of bills or five scatters. The top pay is quite high but it can really be boosted on the free spins.
Land a bonus symbol on reels 1 and five and you get a shot at the 'Crazy Wheel'. This Wheel of Fortune style bonus game (View Image) offers the chance to win free games. The lowest win is 3 free games with a 2 times multiplier and the highest is 20 free spins with a huge 10 times multiplier.
This is one of the best free game features we have seen online. Hit any of the free game amounts with the 10 times multiplier and you have a shot at winning up to 100,000 coins on every spin of the free games.
On to the progressive. The base level jackpot is $150,000 and to activate the jackpot you need to click on the 'Enable Dollar Ball' logo above the reels. This reveals a grid of 49 numbers. Choose five numbers or click auto pick and you will be returned to the reels.
As the result of each spin comes in a number is drawn for each reel. To win the progressive you need to get all five numbers matching with the numbers you picked - just like the lottery! To keep things interesting you win smaller amounts for getting one or more numbers. Get four and you get 1% of the current jackpot total which is a minimum prize of $1,500.
It is a little weird to have a progressive slot where the result on the reels has nothing to do with the jackpot but it still makes for fun game play. If you a fan of the lottery or slots it is well worth a look as it seems to cater for both tastes. Overall a high quality game that stands out for being just that bit different.
