Red Baron POKIE

Red Baron Pokie Review

Red Baron is a 5-reel pokie dedicated to Manfred von Richthofen, widely known as the Red Baron, a flying ace of the World War I who shot down over 80 planes. The pokie takes you back in time that the brightly colored triplane navigated by the ace cruised the skies and stroke terror into his enemies. In the game, you will find some valuable features such as wilds, scatters and free spins. To make your gameplay more interesting, the pokie introduces the Mission bonus that would award $7000 if completed successfully.

One would find the game simplistic at the first glance but this impression is deceptive. In fact, the pokie comes with exciting bonus features that would make your online casino experience very fruitful and entertaining. And again the pokie provider put in place its favorite Reel Power model where no paylines are used. To earn coins, regular symbols must fall on neighboring reels, no matter their vertical position on these reels – they can be on the top, middle or bottom row and still count toward a combination.

The major distinction between a classic 243 Win Ways system and Reel Power is that in the latter the player is given a tool for deselecting reels and betting on less than five reels. This is done by moving a slider to the left position in the Settings menu. By decreasing the amount of active reels, you decrease a bet size. Suppose you decided to wager the minimum acceptable coin denomination of $0.01. Every reel or reel range has a specific value titled as Reel Cost in the pokie’s paytable. Having one reel in play costs 1 credit ($0.01 in total), having two reels in play costs 5 credits ($0.05), and so on. If you want to have all the 5 reels selected and play in a traditional way, the minimum bet would be $0.25. The same principle applies to calculate the maximum possible bet which in this pokie equals $50 per spin.

Symbols comprise playing cards 9 to King, a radio device, dog, zeppelin, woman, triplane and a portrait of the Red Baron. The symbols are listed in ascending order of their payouts, with the maximum one being x1500 for five Red Baron icons or five red triplanes. The latter sometimes comes stacked in groups of two or three.

Wild symbol

A medal appears on the central reel only and is used to substitute for ALL symbols including scatters. Naturally, wilds do not create combinations on their own but become a very useful and money-generating symbol in free spins where all payouts with substituting wilds are multiplied by a random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5.

Pick Mission bonus

A Mission bonus precedes free spins that are triggered by 3 or more scattered targets that appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4. So before free spins begin, you are asked to choose one of five missions you would try to accomplish in free spins. Each mission involves the collection of a certain number of Triplane symbols that appear in any place during free spins, and the progress of how many planes have been collected is displayed to the right of the reels. Mission 1 suggests you accumulate 4 or more triplanes, while Mission 5 reads you need to gather 20 or more triplanes. Achieving the objective of your chosen mission, you win x10 to x140 a total bet. If more than 25 planes are collected, you are awarded an extra bonus worth your bet x40 times.
