CCTV Rush Hour is a casino slot game developed by Microgaming, a renowned provider of online gaming solutions. The game is set in a bustling cityscape with towering skyscrapers and neon lights illuminating the night sky. However, Rush Hour it’s not just the visuals that create an immersive experience; the gameplay is also designed to engage players.
Theme and Design
The theme of CCTV Rush Hour revolves around surveillance and security, as evident from its title. The game takes place in a city where cameras are ubiquitous, monitoring every move made by citizens and visitors alike. The background image displays a busy street with towering buildings on either side, creating an imposing atmosphere. The reels themselves feature various symbols inspired by the theme: closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitors, security guards, police cars, speed cameras, and pedestrians.
Symbols
The game boasts 12 different symbol types, each carrying its own payout value:
- CCTV Monitor : Acts as a wild, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations.
- Security Guard : Pays out up to 5x the total bet when 3 or more appear on an active payline.
- Police Car : Offers payouts of up to 10x the total bet for matching sets of 3-4 icons.
- Speed Camera : Rewards players with wins worth up to 15x their stake for consecutive combinations of 3-5 symbols.
- Pedestrian (Woman and Man) : These two high-paying characters pay out up to 20 times the total bet when landing 3 or more on a line.
Payouts
The payouts in CCTV Rush Hour are substantial, with the highest win amountable up to $10,000 for matching sets of 5 police cars. The base game offers moderate volatility and relatively low RTP (Return To Player) rates compared to other slot machines.
Wild Symbols
One symbol stands out as a true wild: CCTV Monitor , which replaces other symbols when necessary to form winning combinations. It is also the only multiplier available in this game, able to multiply base wins by up to 5x their initial value upon completion of specific bonus features (explained below).
Scatters
While there aren’t traditional scatters that trigger free spins or jackpots like most slots have nowadays; instead what triggers both Free Spins and a Jackpot win is found within "Bonus Features".
