Turn Up the Tempo to Beat the House with High 5 Games

High 5 Games are gurus at producing top online and land-based casino games that wow the crowds. Their latest Beat the House slot provides their players with a Dance House theme where vibrant visuals and heart-pounding music sets the stage for an evening of gambling pleasure.

Phil Welty, Head of Game Design at High 5 Games, said:

“Feel the beat as both the music and the wins build together in Beat the House! Our objective with this game was to provide an experience where the features provide near term opportunities for great wins while also providing progress towards a longer-term goal. The visuals and sounds ramp up in intensity as the player draws ever closer to triggering the valuable free games bonus event.”

The game incorporates Expanded Wilds and Multipliers to keep you busy in the base game, while Free Spins and a Pick Bonus round lay in wait to be triggered for bonus rewards of over 2,000x your stake.

 Thumping Theme

The game starts off slow. The first few spins play a bar of music at a time, but just wait until you start winning or landing Wilds on the screen. These actions will slowly start introducing new sounds to expand upon the beat.

This House Music themed slot is played out at a dance event, where a crowd has gathered to dance beneath a neon-lit stage. The psychedelic reel symbols add to the burst of colour and energy exuded by the game. Special animations from the Beat Box symbol and Beat-pad scatter add a new dimension of engagement to every roll.

The colourful symbols on the transparent reels include a Lollipop, a Diamond Ring, Cherries, and an Orange Slice. The lower paying symbols represent aptly designed card deck symbols.

Special symbols headline the game as well. These include both a standard substituting Wild and a Wild reel symbol. These symbols help complete winning combinations. The Scatter symbol for the Pick Bonus is a flashing Beat-Pad while an animated Beat Box unlocks other features, including Multipliers, Wilds, and the Free Spin bonus round.

 Set the Tempo

The game is played over 5 reels and 20 paylines for bets of between €0.20 and €100 per spin. Wins are awarded when you manage to land between three and five matching symbols over a fixed payline on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost column. While standard symbols won’t pay you more than 200x your line stake, start stacking Wilds over the reels for massive hauls.

The slot is highly volatile and ushers in very few notable wins in the base game. Trigger the bonus games and you will witness a whole new side to the machine, where it partners with a decent Return to Player of 96% to usher in bigger wins of over 2,000x your bet.

✓Beat Box Feature and Locked Wilds

Each time a Beat Box lands on the reels, it will leave a frame around the position it landed on. These remain on the screen until used. This means that several boxes may be on the screen at the same time.

If you land a win on the screen and the combination falls within one of the frames, the win amount will be doubled before it is applied to your bankroll. But, if you manage to land a full reel of frames, the entire reel will turn into a Locked Wild for 3 consecutive spins.

The Wild will activate the reels. After you manage to activate all five reels, you will trigger the free spin round.

✓Free Spin Round

Once Locked Wilds have activated all 5 Reels, 10 free games will be awarded. During each spin in this round, you will receive at least one Expanded Wild Reel to help you increase your wins. From time to time a random Wild will be afforded a 2x Multiplier value, which will come into effect if that symbol is part of a winning combination.

✓Pick Bonus feature

If you manage to land three or more Beat-Pad scatter icons, you will activate a multi-tiered pick feature, where the number of triggering symbols landed will determine the number of tiers you can traverse through in the game. 3, 4, or 5 scatters will reward 4, 5, or 6 tiers, respectively.

Each tier contains four pick options, where you can either win cash rewards or fast forward to the next game tier. In the final tier, your options are cash wins, a double multiplier of your wins, or a stop feature symbol. A stop feature symbol will end the game immediately.

 Party On!

If you are in the mood for some excessive foot tapping while spinning the reels, then High 5 Games’ Beat the House will be the perfect match for you. It can lift your mood with each passing spin. While big rewards are possible, the game is volatile, which means that you may have to practice patience.
