Last month, there was a great deal of buzz surrounding the release of IGT’s Avatar video slots. The details about the game were quite vague, but the game was touted as revolutionary.

Now, we know quite a bit more about the new Avatar slot machine, and Slots Temple will provide an in-depth overview.

Cinematic Graphics

IGT went all out when it came to the design of its new Avatar slot machine. The game’s graphics seem to be pulled directly from the film, as they are very realistic.

Even on the base game, the 3D graphics feature impressive animations that make you feel like you’re playing a console video games rather than a slot machine.

Interactive Bonuses

Most of the bonus games available in Avatar slots are interactive rounds. This means that players are active in the bonus game and their performance helps to determine how much extra cash their win.

For example, in the Banshee Attack Round, players face off against a Banshee. If the Banshee’s health is depleted first then the player wins a generous cash prize.

The Amp Suit bonus is very similar, as players are required to destroy the machine in order to cash in on a jackpot.

There are also plenty of on-screen bonuses in the base game. Banshee Wilds appear randomly to help encourage winning combinations. Arrow Boost offers up generous multipliers. Finally, Na’vi Pay awards extra cash whenever a Na’vi character appears on the reels. 

Pick Up Where You Left Off

In our opinion, this is one of the greatest features of the new Avatar slot machine. Since there are so many achievements and prize levels, it is unlikely that players will be able to obtain the full Avatar experience in just one sitting.

So, players can save their progress and pick up where they left off the next time they play. This a very sophisticated feature, and IGT has perfected it.

Mega Jackpots

Avatar slots are part of IGT’s Mega Jackpots progressive jackpot network. These generous jackpots offer up prizes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on a regularly basis. It is not uncommon or players to cash in on jackpots worth more than $1 million. 

Where You Can Find It

This month, Avatar slots were rolled out at all ten MGM Casinos across Las Vegas. These include: Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Luxor, New York-New York and Excalibur. The game is turning a lot of heads, so it is likely that IGT will premiere the game in other markets very soon.
