Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine Slot Review
The slot has 5 reels and 25 paylines. Released in September 2019, this game can be played at online casinos such as Guts, Mr Green or Unibet.
Theme and basic information
Nikola Tesla was a scientist who was decades ahead of his time. He was undoubtedly a genius and he was not only misunderstood but unfortunately overlooked in his endeavours. It is hard to believe but he not only believed that energy could be distributed completely free, something he wanted to make reality, but also that it would one day be possible to distribute it wirelessly.
In recent years, Tesla had somewhat of a comeback, receiving the recognition her never got when he was still alive. This Rabcat slot takes his characters and some of his inventions and gives us an absolutely fantastic-looking game. We’re inside Tesla’s laboratory, where the machinery is thumping along, gigantic cogwheels are turning and Tesla himself is rummaging around, making various adjustments to get everything working. The details are amazing and if you simply set the game to auto-play for a while, you can delight in Tesla’s running about to do his thing.
The atmosphere is surprisingly dark here, which makes some of the feature burst even more brightly.
On the reels we find capacitators, googles, a pocket watch and playing card symbols from J to A. It’s all very well designed.
Tesla himself is the wild in the game, paying out 40x our stake for 5 on a payline. The pocket watch is worth the same for such a win and the googles pay out 20x our stake. The capacitator follows far behind with just 4x our stake for 5 of its kind.
You can play this game from 0.25 per spin to 75.00 per spin.
Three random bonus features in the base game
Rabcat didn’t just give us a gorgeous slot but also one with lots of features. Whenever a symbol lands fully stacked on the middle reels, one of three Energy Boost features will be triggered. If we get low-value symbols stacked, we get 3 bonus spins with one of the features. If we trigger it with a high-value symbol, we get 5 bonus spins.
- Wild Substitution: A standard symbol is chosen to act as a wild during the bonus spins.
- Reel Clone – Three reels (a maximum of two adjacent) will be synchronised to display matching symbols whilst spinning along during the bonus spins.
- Exploding Wild – Two to three symbols will be transformed into locked wilds for the duration of the bonus spins.
Level up in the free spins
The free spins are triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters, giving us 8, 10 or 12 free spins. Nikola Tesla will show up and lock a wild in the middle position on reel 3. Now, when the reels are spinning, wins are paid out from left to right as well as right to left.
If a Level Up symbol shows up, Nikola will come running again to affix another wild on the reels. You can move up to 5 levels and thus receive up to 5 wilds on the reels. Wins of up to 4,100x our stake are possible during the free spins.
Conclusion: A stunning slot with fun gameplay and decent wins
The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) for Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine is 96.2%, which is a little above average in pretty decent. This slot comes with a medium volatility. Wins are fairly common, though big wins are rare.
Rabcat has probably delivered their most stunning slot they have ever made, perhaps spurned on by being a part of the YGS Masters. The gameplay is compelling and fun as well. This is a well-rounded slot with tons of fun and regular wins. It’s a game we cannot only recommend but are looking forward to playing again in the future ourselves.
