Portrait-friendly adventure story now available

Award-winning slots and software provider Red Tiger is inviting players on an intrepid adventure with its latest release Vicky Ventura.

The 5×3 slot (which can expand to 5×7) has been designed for portrait play and is set in the mysterious ruins of an ancient culture lost deep in the jungle. It features expanding reels offering over 16,000 ways to win.

Additional ways to win in the locked reels are unlocked when Totem Crystal symbols land, which in turn activate the Mystic Totem.

The feature adds Wild symbols to existing or newly unlocked positions on the reels. During Free Spins, the unlocked positions remain in play for the duration of the round, offering the best shot at the biggest wins of up to 10,000x stake.

Carl Ejlertsson, Director of Business Development at Red Tiger, said: “Vicky Ventura is a classic adventure tale. With its engaging, user-friendly gameplay, and great graphics, we expect it to be a massive hit.

“As with all Red Tiger games, we have endeavoured to make it as innovative and exciting as possible, as shown with our expanding reels which can deliver an amazing 16,807 ways to win.”

Vicky Ventura is the latest video slot to join Red Tiger’s high-quality and fast-growing portfolio which currently stands at close to 100 titles.

All of its games can be combined with the supplier’s unique progressive jackpot software, as well as its Smart Spins marketing tool which delivers unique promotions via an in-game dialogue module.

That jackpot software was expanded recently with the launch of Red Tiger’s Daily Drop Jackpot network, which ensures operators of all sizes can benefit from its unique marketing properties.
