CCTV Rush Hour is a 5-reel, 25-payline casino slot game developed by Playtech that transports players to the bustling streets of Hong Kong during rush hour. The theme revolves around the city’s extensive surveillance system, with the aim being to capture and reward players for their detective skills.
Design
The game’s design is modern Rush Hour and sleek, with a predominantly dark blue background representing the night sky above the busy streets below. Vibrant neon lights illuminate the reels as players navigate through the different levels of the game. The overall aesthetic feels immersive, drawing inspiration from real-life surveillance footage often seen in cities worldwide.
Symbols on the reels are cleverly designed to reflect the game’s theme:
- Low-paying symbols : City maps, taxis, buses, and motorcycles create a visually appealing array and serve as low-payout combinations.
- High-paying symbols : Police officers, security cameras, police cars, and ambulances feature prominently, with the latter two being more valuable when landed on adjacent reels.
Payouts
Paytable rewards range from x2 to x500 for standard wins. Combination multipliers apply when landing multiple identical high-paying symbols across 5-reels in combination:
- 3 city maps : x10
- 4 taxis/buses/motorcycles : x20, and so on…
- 3 police officers/security cameras/police cars/ambulances : x100 each
A specific set of wilds is triggered by landing three scatters – more details are provided below.
Wilds
The game’s CCTV camera serves as a wild symbol. They can appear anywhere in the reels and function to replace missing symbols during base gameplay, with some exceptions: when activated, additional special features make these symbols active within bonus rounds (more information on bonus rounds follows).
Scatters
Three scatters activate free spins – however, any spin featuring 1-2 police officers triggers extra wilds while maintaining the usual behavior of those reels. 3 CCTV Cameras :
- Free Spins are triggered
- 5 or more cameras unlock a new set of symbols: police badges, first aid kits and masks which multiply payouts by x100.
- Landing any four wilds increases multiplier to X500.
