Big Ben

[KateT]

This might not be a new machine for many of you, but it was new yesterday at my "local" casino and I played it for a while.

It's a British Theme. The scatters are pictures of Big Ben, with 3,4 or 5 granting free spins. But if you get one on 1 & 5, you go to the bonus thingy which starts the clock chiming. The more it chimes, the more you win up to a 12 o'clock limit which is shown on the main screen and is different for each machine.

It was fun, and I hit one bonus (for up to 8 o'clock, or about $100) but then it ate my money.

Still, I had a lot of fun yesterday. Sometimes the fun factor is really high!

Yes, I am familiar with this game. There is a brother/sister machine with an Asian theme and a gong instead of the Big Ben Clock. I got into the bonus round, got the 12 gongs and won the jackpot of $60+. This game has been in Indian Casinos here in Southern California and in Las Vegas for a good 3 years. However, it is a cool game to play and I love counting trying to see if I will make it to 12.

I played this game with a 9-coin or 15-coin bet on a nickel machine. It paid me about $300 for 12 gongs. Honestly, I was about $5 into the machine. I have never played the game since, because I don't think I could do better again.

I do not usually like to play games with a PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT ... this one is "self contained". However, if I was going to play a progressive, this is the way I would go.

I’ve played both the Asian-themed counterpart to Big Ben, and Big Ben and done fine but never got a real big payout,. It’s been awhile since I’ve played them…perhaps I should give them another try for a big win.
