Software developer Cryptologic has created a 5 reel and 25 pay-line progressive slot machine in the theme of 1994’s film Forrest Gump. And there are plenty of chocolates in the box! The game features everything that a great slot needs: scatters, wilds and exciting bonus games. All icons in the game are connected to the story of Forrest and the adventures he had in his life.
When playing Forrest Gump you first have to select a coin value of between $0.01 and $20. Then you can select how many lines to play. Clicking on the arrows next to the pay-line field changes the amount of lines. The total value of the wager will be multiplied by the coin value. For example: a coin value of $1 and 15 lines played will cost $15 for each spin. The maximum amount that can be played in a single spin is $500. The slot also offers an advanced auto play option where spin and stop conditions can be selected.
The wild symbol is Forrest on a bench. It substitutes for other symbols to form winning combinations, and can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. When it appears winnings are doubled. However, it does not substitute scatter icons. The scatter is a box of chocolates. If you manage to get 3 or more Scattered Chocolates then the Box of Chocolates feature is started. Click on chocolate boxes to determine how many free rounds you get. Then a 3x3 grid will appear, and the game starts. In this game chocolates fall on the grid, and matching chocolates win instant bonuses.
When you manage to get 3 or more footballs, from left to right, the ‘Run, Forrest Run’ feature starts. In this bonus game you have to outrun the other players in a football match. Click on the arrows to avoid being tackled, and win great prizes. Running the whole field and scoring a touchdown wins extra money.
The progressive slot machine Forrest Gump offers a base jackpot of 5000 coins. It also features five different progressive jackpots that are awarded randomly. The values of these jackpots can be seen at the top right hand corner.
