Discover the Mythical Machine

Some slots are more inventive than others as far as theme and execution are concerned, and the latest release from Yggdrasil Gaming is a great example of a game that excels in both departments. The game is called Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine, and whilst it is inspired by the real-life work of the Serbian-American inventor and engineer, it then goes further by imagining an invention that has, until now, remain very much unknown. With breathtaking visuals and audio content, as well as some stunning features, this game is one that nobody should ignore.

Who Was Nikola Tesla?

Nikola Tesla was born in the Austrian Empire in 1856, and studied physics and engineering before emigrating to the USA in 1884. He is known for helping to bring a number of game-changing inventions to the world, including the AC induction motor, the Tesla coil, wireless lighting and more. Tesla died in 1943, but his rather secretive working practices have since helped him to become a famously mysterious figure who may, it is said, have invented even greater things – free energy and anti-gravity machines, for example – that were kept hidden from the public for commercial reasons.

Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine

It is against this conspiratorial mythology that Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine takes place. This five-reel slot has 25 fixed pay lines and was developed for Yggdrasil Gaming by Rabcat Gambling. The game is set in the heart of the mysterious inventor’s laboratory, which is stunningly illustrated and just as nicely animated, with a large machine working away whilst Tesla himself runs around keeping an eye on things.

The symbols used in this game include the playing card ranks of J, Q, K and A, a Tesla tube, a pair of protective goggles, a pocket watch, a Tesla wild and a Free Spins scatter. All of these symbols, as well as the machine that houses the reels they occupy, are nicely illustrated in a steampunk style, and have plenty of moving parts, sparks of electricity and so on, that bring everything to life in a big way.

An orchestral soundtrack accompanies the action on screen, and features several passages which serve to build tension at appropriate points. Add in plenty of crackles, whirrs and other sound effects and the end result is a game that will please audiophiles as much those who are more interested in the superb visuals.

Energy Burst Feature

An Energy Burst feature is triggered whenever you manage to get three identical symbols on the third reel. This can give you as many as five bonus spins, but even more importantly it will also give you a randomly selected Energy Burst benefit. There are three possible benefits, as follows:

• Exploding Wild will select two or three symbols at random and then change those symbols into wilds. The wilds will stick in their positions for the duration of the bonus spins
• Wild Substitution will select one symbol and cause it to serve as a wild every time it appears, for the duration of the bonus spins
• Reel Clone will select three reels and ensure that they show matching symbols for the duration of the bonus spins

Free Spins Feature

When you get 3, 4 or 5 Free Spins scatter symbols on the reels, you will receive 8, 10 or 12 free spins. A locked wild in the centre of the middle reel will appear, which makes it somewhat easier to complete winning combinations, and if you get a special Level Up symbol on the first or fifth reels another sticky wild will be added for the remainder of the free spins. You can level up in this way until you reach Level 5, at which point Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine will be humming along at full power.
