Rival - New Slot 'Hole in Won'

[kwblue]

I got an email earlier today about a new I-Slot... Now, I have hated those I-Slots since the first time I played and basically got nothing out of them no matter how far I got in the series

Hole I Won, though, is not an I-Slot in the sense of the others... This one is interactive because the bonus round has a bit of skill involved. And the better you are, the higher your win will be. So, let's take a look at this new I-Slot.

Hole In Won - A Very well themed (much like most Rival Slots) slot, this one has a golfing theme with all reels showing very nice graphics. Hole in Won comes with a nice Expanding Wild symbol which helps to increase your wins. Besides that, it's main feature is the skill-based bonus round.

Wild Symbol - The Wild Symbol is a bit strange... A large rooster which expands vertically while the animation puts a golf ball across the reels. Nice touch.

Bonus Round - The bonus round has 9 holes and you will play 1 hole each time you get the bonus round to appear (appears when you get 3 scattered birdies across the reels). During the bonus round, you point the golfer in the direction of the hole (with obstacles in the way) and try to get the ball in the hole with the least amount of strokes. You determine the speed and direction of the hit, which is where the skill part comes in. On each subsequent bonus round, you play another one of the 9 holes.


Summary - There really is nothing like this game out there and for me that makes it enjoyable. The bonus rounds come VERY infrequently, though, in my estimation and the game (while I have not analyzed it fully) appears to be medium-high variance.

Was fun to play, but lost my money a bit too fast for me Check it out and let me know what you think. Feel free to vote on it if you like it at the above URL.

PS - I forgot to get the golfing part of the bonus round screenshots, so I'll try to get that in there asap.

I updated the screenshots and man am I a bad pretend golfer Anyway - you should see at least the 2nd of the 9 holes. I had the maximum amount of strokes, so my win was pretty small

That's not a rooster, it's an eagle, golf term

i like the slot, but I don't think any skill is actually involved. a couple of my puts were going right in the hole and were rejected by some "unknown" force. then my 4th shot missed the hole and then ricocheted about 5 times and somehow went in.

i think it's ok to call this an I-slot since your bonus golf hole is different as you play 9 holes.

Is it the most interactive slot you've seen anywhere, T_B?

LOL - this sounds rather like my usual game of real golf, except that 4th shot doesn't go in!

You think you got troubles - I'm a bad real golfer!
Thanks for the great review!
Been having a mega run at Sloto this week so might just risk some of my winnings on it now....

That's a little worrying - I would have hoped it was true skill like the other skill slots on the net.
People who write in Lemon Chiffon are definitely gay!

I just logged in in fun mode to take a look at this new one, and get some data on their other slots for a review.

Looks like they've changed the pay-tables on some again.
I don't think I'll be playing this one any more in a hurry...

Back to the subject slot;
Definitely high variance - hardly any wins outside the feature.
Though, like HitMan; get 3 wilds with the right symbols either end & you'd be rolling in it!

Fun play, my first feature, hole 1, down in two shots = 80xbet!
I might get to like this one!

The Reel of Fortune looks a bit like a screwup, huh? Otherwise, those are some bad odds!

I've played Hole in Won a few more tims and I think I agree that the game may not require as much skill as it's supposed to And, yes, I guess that is an Eagle.... Doesn't look much like one, but that's what it must be.

AND - I am a bad REAL golfer too If the game were called Slice-o-rama instead of golf, I might be a master.
