CCTV Rush Hour is a video slots game developed by EGT (Euro Games Technology), a well-known supplier of gaming software to casinos worldwide. This game is part of a larger collection of slot machines that Rush Hour CCTV cater to various tastes and preferences, including those interested in themes related to security, surveillance, and action-packed narratives.
The game’s main theme revolves around the concept of real-time video monitoring systems used by authorities for crime prevention and investigation purposes. Players are immersed in an environment where high-stakes law enforcement operations unfold on multiple screens simultaneously, each with its unique camera angles and feeds. The overall design and art style aim to evoke a sense of tension and urgency characteristic of live surveillance situations.
Design and Symbols
CCTV Rush Hour’s visual presentation is modern and sleek, featuring vibrant colors against a dark urban backdrop. Players navigate through six reels stacked vertically in three rows within the main game screen area, accompanied by various control buttons along the bottom edge for placing bets and triggering action sequences.
The standard symbols consist of:
- Lower-paying icons: 9-A cards with face values and royal flush variations
- Higher-paying items: Vehicle models, such as a speedboat, sports car, or truck, used in surveillance operations
These base-game tokens are intertwined throughout the reels when not partaking in more substantial features. When combined correctly to form winning combinations across adjacent positions from left to right (ignoring reel order), they unlock line pays within specific paytable ranges.
Payouts
Standard wins involve multiples of player stakes times fixed payout values allocated per symbol combination by EGT:
Symbol 6 of a kind 5 of a kind Low Cards (9,10,J,Q,K) x12,x20,x30 x8,x15,x25 High Paying Symbols Car Models (Speedboat/Sports/Truck): x80,x100,x250
Additionally to these wins there are few more ways how player can receive extra payout: combination of four identical high-paying car symbols on the first two reels, and three scatter symbols (represented by surveillance cameras) landing across 3 consecutive rows.
Wilds
The wild icon is represented as a "Watchful Eye" logo positioned at top right. It replaces any regular symbol to maintain combinations if their position within an active win results in additional value contribution or complete line hits from standard pays up through bonus activation via special patterns below discussed; yet still retains separate function where placed alone it could offer its own higher-value contribution directly linked towards overall result of played spins – as described at bottom part regarding "Free Spins".
Scatters
A cluster of three adjacent surveillance camera symbols across reels two, four and six within active game window triggers the "Rush Hour Bonus". Participating players are then awarded free games where all reels behave with same behavior.
Bonus Features & Free Spins
CCTV Rush Hour introduces several distinct bonus elements tied directly into gameplay. Among those:
- "Free Spins Mode: Initiated through three scatter symbols displayed in an array of consecutive positions on specific reel combinations, awarding a set number of game instances determined by the sum total of such triggering combination, usually up to forty spins.
- Bonus Symbols and Patterns : EGT integrated several special visual markers within reels – specifically aligned pairs across rows or horizontal row stacks with matching car symbols – serve as "wild-boosters" if three ‘booster-pair-patterns’ (at least two) are observed after completing standard payouts for single spins that follow one of these specific sequences which could include various other winning outcomes based upon multiple reels being involved simultaneously.
