Stallion Strike

It's time to cover a slot that allows for various symbols to become 'charged' during the base game and bonus modes. This slot is called 'Stallion Strike', and as the name suggests, it revolves around a pair of horses. The 'Strike' portion of the online slot machine refers to the setting, with the board levitating in the skies as lightning rains down. A total of six reels and 15,625 are in play, all of which can be covered with a minimum stake size of 0.10 per spin.

Stallion Strike was created by Playtech and Ash Gaming, with both companies having a unique range of slots to their name. Playtech is the more prominent provider of the two and consequently has a more extensive portfolio of titles. Games such as Buffalo Blitz, Epic Ape 2, and Savage Jungle are perhaps some of their most popular releases.

The standard 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols all make an appearance in Stallion Strike. Next are the premium symbols, shown as two different types of eagles and two variations of owls. These can all award players with up to 32x their stake size, should 6 form a matching combination. Horses are the most desirable symbol in this slot, awarding players with up to 200x their stake size for six along a payline.

In Stallion Strike, there are two special symbols for players to look out for. The first one is a wild symbol, shown as a diamond, that has the ability to replace any standard symbol to form a matching combination. Scatter symbols also appear as golden horseshoes.

The first bonus feature in Stallion Strike is the 'Power Zones' mechanic. During each spin, random symbols may appear with blue lightning around them, signalling that they have been powered up. Should any of these charged symbols land in a power zone, they will all transform into the same icon, which can increase the chance of forming a matching combination.

Any symbol can become charged apart from scatters and wilds. It's also possible for multiple charged symbols and power zones to appear during the same spin. Power zones will stack until they are activated, or the total stake size is changed.

For the main bonus in Stallion Strike, there are two components, the regular spins, and the final mega spin. This bonus can be triggered if 3,4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols appear simultaneously, awarding players with 12, 18, 25, or 50 free spins. 

In addition to the free spins, power zones will be created in the positions that the scatter symbols landed on. Regular spins play in the same way as the base game and can be retriggered, with 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter icons awarding 3, 12, 18, 25, or 50 additional spins.

Finally, there is the mega spin, which will occur after all free spins have been played. The reels will catch on fire, with all power zones from the previous round being locked in place. After all the symbols have dropped into place, all power zones will reveal the same symbol, with any potential winnings being awarded to the player immediately after.

Stallion Strike has a nice combination of bonus modes and high-quality visuals. The 'Power Zones' feature is another unique aspect of this slot, which is available in both the base game and free spins round!
