Tycoons Slots
Betsoft has been a leading game developer for a long time. When you play a Betsoft game today, you’re met with beautiful animations, graphics and immersive themes. But this wasn’t always the case They’ve come a long way in how they develop games and today, we’re taking a look at one of their older slots - Tycoons. The moment you see this slot you realize how old it is. The graphics are a little on the basic side and the the slot layout isn’t what we’re used to seeing today. That’s not to say they’re bad! They’re actually quite good for how old this slot is. The background with a mansion and palm trees is a nice touch and the symbols are well made and fit the theme perfectly. The music is a little on the classical side - it’s not our favorite - but it works well enough. Tycoons might not be one of Betsoft’s flashy slots, but it’s still well made. Let’s find out how rich you can get with these Tycoons…
Bets and Paylines
Tycoons is a 5 reel slot with 30 paylines. Bet sizes are from $0.30 to $150.00, making this perfect for players with Tycoon sized bankrolls!
Play Symbols
Tycoons has both premium and non premium symbols that make up the game…
The TECH TYCOON is the top symbol. 5 or more of him and you’ll be a tycoon yourself!
The WOMAN TYCOON follows.
Then the OIL TYCOON.
And finally the BANKER TYCOON.
The non premium symbols start with the GOLD BARS.
Then the STACK OF CASH.
Followed by the CHECK BOOK.
Then the SPORTS CAR.
Then the LAPTOP.
And finally, the CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE.
Any character symbol (that is ALL tycoon characters) that has a small FS in the corner is the SCATTER. 3 or more of these on a payline will trigger the free spins.
The PLAYING CARD is the BONUS. 3 or these anywhere will trigger the bonus round.
Special and Bonus Features
Tycoons has 3 features that players need to keep an eye out for…
Free Spins
This feature is a little different than other free spins we’ve seen. The SCATTER is any character symbol (this is ALL FOUR Tycoon symbols) that has a small FS in the corner. If 3 or more of these fall on a payline it will trigger the free spins. But remember - these MUST be on a payline. 3 TYCOONS will win you 3 free spins. 4 TYCOONS will win you 6 free spins. And 5 TYCOONS will reward you with 12 free spins. During free spins, all wins are doubled. Also during free spins, either reel 2, 3 or 4 will be FULL WILD for the whole free spin round. This feature cannot be retriggered.
Instant Money
This is a fun feature that is triggered by spinning into the GOLD BARS - STACK OF CASH - CHECK BOOK symbols. They MUST be in that order AND on a payline in order to trigger the feature. When the feature is triggered, players can choose either one of the symbols and will be rewarded with an instant cash prize!
Poker Pick ‘Em
This unique feature is triggered when players spin into 3 DECK OF CARD symbols. These DO NOT have to be on a payline. Players will then get to choose one of the Tycoons. If that Tycoon wins the round of poker, you win a prize as well!
To Play Or Not To Play?
That is the question and the answer is a big, rich yes! This might be one of Betsoft’s earlier games - and it shows with its graphics - but it’s still a Betsoft game. It has a wide bet range, great bonus features and is just plain fun. So if you want to experience how the other half lives, give a few spins to Tycoons. Who knows? You might end up a Tycoon yourself!
