Those of you who waited for the sequel of Danger High Voltage should wait no further, because the good people of Big Time Gaming released The Final Countdown, a six-reel video slot themed after one of Europe’s biggest hits of all time. We will be heading for Venus with the 2019 release, because the reels are set on the launching field. Up there, we will be looking for precious Gemstones, as well as Reel Clones, Clone Wilds and two types of Free Spins features: The Countdown Free Spins with Roaming Wilds and the Heading for Venus Free Spins with Velocity Wilds.
Gameplay
The moment you start spinning the reels, you will be attracted to the sounds of the popular song, which adds the excitement to the preparation of the rocket launching. Thanks to outstanding visuals, it seems that the space ship will head to space any time now. Everything is covered in fluorescent lights, so you might need your sunglasses after a while. Like in most other Big Time Gaming titles, precious gemstones represent high-paying symbols, so expect plenty of Amethysts, Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds on the reels, as well as 9-A playing cards. Two Astronauts will keep you company, Male and Female, and both of them act as Wilds on the reels. The Logo is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature.
If you had the pleasure of playing Danger High Voltage, you will have no trouble at all understanding the rules of the game in The Final Countdown, and you will have to know the rules if you want to board the spaceship and head for Venus. The 2019 release features six reels, four rows and benefits from 4,096 ways to win. The slot pays from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, with three of a kind being the minimum for landing payouts. Amethyst is the only symbol that will pay even for two of a kind.
With 4,096 ways to win on the offer, gamers will have to pay 20 coins for each spin. Fortunately, the coin denomination can be changed, so players will set the coin value somewhere between $0.01 and $1 and bet as low as $0.20 and as high as $20 per single spin. We can all agree that the betting range is not as wide as high rollers would have hoped, but it is not that bad either.
As for the maximum possible payouts, spinners can expect up to 36,000 times the bet in a single spin, or $720,000 provided that the bet is set to the max. The Amethyst is the symbol that pays the most, offering 25 coins for six of a kind. Not much, but if you combine it with multiplier Wilds, you can really land huge payouts. The Final Countdown’s RTP goes from 96.56% to 96.65%.
Bonus Rounds
First of all, we have the Reel Clone feature, where between 2 and four reels can be cloned and land identical symbols. This is closely connected to the Female Wild, which can land on the cloned reels and cover up to 4 reels. Wild on 2 reels will carry a 4x multiplier, while Wilds that cover 3 and 4 reels will offer a 27x and a 256x win multipliers.
To trigger the Free Spins feature, players need to land three or more Logo Scatters on the reels. Once that happens, you get to pick between the two Free Spins features on the offer. Choose the Countdown Free Spins feature and you will get 8 free spins with a Roaming Wild. Land the Countdown Scatter to reduce the countdown, which starts at 10 and resets at 0. The Countdown Scatter can reduce the countdown up to 3, while the Roaming Wild will be 2x2 big, with a 4x multiplier, once the feature starts and, as you retrigger freebies, the Roaming Wild becomes bigger until it reaches a size of 4x4 and offers a 256x multiplier.
The Heading for Venus Free Spins feature will get you 15 freebies and the Reel Clone feature on each spin. The Male Astronaut will act as a Velocity Wild and will appear on the Reel Clone, growing from 4x to 888x at random. It is possible to retrigger the feature by landing three more Scatters.
Summary
The Final Countdown is simply excellent, even though it may seem in the beginning that the 2019 release is pretty complicated, just because it is packed with features. Do not worry, you will understand everything after a couple of spins. Being action junkies ourselves, we love a video slot that offers so many extras and each of them will help you land huge wins, starting from the Reel Clone feature and the Cloned Wilds, which can come with a whopping 256x win multiplier. Both Free Spins features are very good and both can result in massive payouts. We are positive that those of you who liked Danger High Voltage will also love The Final Countdown.
