Silent Movie Slot - NZ Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

If you are looking for a slot with a difference, you have found it

You will know that this exciting addition to our library of free slots games is something a bit different as soon as you open the page. Set in an old-fashioned black and white cinema, and with a soundtrack to match, the theme of this game is a 1920s silent movie. It is obvious just from the introduction that the developers at IGT have put no small amount of effort into the look and feel of this game and have succeeded in producing something very special indeed. The loading screen resembles the opening titles of an old movie, complete with the jitters and artefacts that would come with film and projection from cinemas of the day. As you launch Silent Movie, you are greeted by a jaunty silent movie-style soundtrack. Thankfully, this goes away after a short while - although it does an excellent job adding to the atmosphere of the game, we can't help but feel that it would become a little wearing after a time. Overall, we have to say that the presentation of this slots game is extraordinary. The attention to detail and quality in both the graphics and the soundtrack is phenomenal, even down to the developers' choice of a 1920s-style font to add to the ambience of the occasion.

A piece of history

In the earliest days of the moving picture, all films were made without sound, although venues would frequently employ pianists or even full orchestras to provide a live musical accompaniment. Eventually, cinemas and movie producers cottoned on to the fact that it was much more cost effective to add the music to the film than pay musicians to play live every time they showed the movie, and what we know as the 'silent movie' was born. Despite the fact that what we think of now as silent films are not, in fact, silent at all but have a musical soundtrack, it is these later films that most people think of as defining the genre.

A classic experience

Silent Movie is a classic five-reel, three-symbol slot game with 30 paylines. This is a game that only allows you to play with large bets, with the smallest amount playable being $1 per coin, setting it apart from most other slots games. If you are interested, the maximum possible bet is $20 per coin, which equals a mind-boggling $600 per spin if you are feeling ambitious.

Scatter it wild

Although you can't change how many paylines are in play in Silent Movie, there are wild and scatter symbols available for you to find on the reels during gameplay. These are nice features to see included in a game that demands you play for such high stakes, as they increase your chances of walking away with a decent win.

Bonus rounds

There is a free spins bonus round in Silent Movie, triggered by landing on two bonus tickets and a movie poster. This can earn you a multiplier and ten free spins.
