Second Strike is a five-reel video slot by Quickspin. The game has 10 fixed paylines and can be played from 10p to £100 per spin.
Theme
With its striking logo, square shaped reels and glitzy soundtrack, Second Strike looks and feels a lot like a television quiz show. Imagine Dale Winton hosting a slot game and you’ll get the idea. The premise for the game is pretty simple. Traditional icons such as fruits, diamonds, bells, stars and the number 7 make up the symbols and everything you need is easy to find at the bottom of the screen. A gold coloured wild symbols substitutes for all other icons.
Second Strike Bonus
Every time you land a win you’ll receive a chance at the Second Strike bonus. Around the reels you’ll see a square containing each symbol (except the wild) in miniature. Following a spin any symbols used in a winning combination light up on the square. The ticker moves around and if it stops on one of the lit symbols then you’re in luck. Up to 10 extra symbols will be added to the reels and your win will be counted again. A three symbols win gets you six extra symbols while you’ll get eight for a four symbol win or 10 for a combo featuring five symbols. As this slot has three rows, it is possible to fill all of the reels with the same symbol, resulting in mega payouts.
Verdict
The simplicity of this game means it will appeal to fans of old school slot games. However, the Second Strike feature adds variety to the game and keeps you hooked. You won’t land on a successful Second Strike all too often but when it does come around, the potential payouts are worth the wait. There may not be any free spins rounds or fancy side games, but Second Strike does hold your attention and is certainly entertaining to play.
