Rocky: Punch Your Way to Six Bonus Features

The craze that the Italian Stallion left in the early 2000s, Playtech has brought back that craze with Rocky, featuring six movie-inspired bonus features. From sticky wilds and cash-filled boxing gloves to a training feature with a 1,000x your bet prize, there was plenty for me to punch through.

This game uses a five-reel, five-row grid with 40 paylines. The symbols include major characters from the movie, such as Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, and Butkus, as well as playing-card symbols.

The base game was giving me wins every three to four spins, averaging between 0.40x and 0.90x my bet. That said, I did see several good hits above 5x my bet, with my biggest base-game win reaching 11.40x my bet.

The interesting part here is that the bonus features are not limited to a single free spins round. Six different bonus games are linked to the Rocky movies, and the Corner Scatters decide which one I get.

The Apollo Creed Free Games give eight free spins with sticky wilds. After nearly 60 spins, I got 32x my bet from this feature. 

The Clubber Lang Free Games provide six free spins. Unfortunately, I couldn’t land this one during my session.

Then there is the Heavyweight feature, where I had to pick three boxing gloves with cash values from nine options. I only got 8x my bet from there without any additional picks.

During the Ivan Drago Hold and Respins, each glove landing resets the spins, while filling the entire 25-position grid can bring up to a 4x multiplier. I couldn’t trigger this one either.

The Multi-Wheel feature gave me three wheels with up to a 5x multiplier and cash values. Here, I won 72x my bet, which was my highest bonus win.

However, the feature I found most entertaining was the Rocky Balboa Training feature. Here, the win ladder can climb all the way to 1,000x my bet. I landed this round multiple times, giving me rewards like 25x and 50x my bet.

There is also a bonus buy option costing 38x the bet. I didn't use it during my session, especially since the purchase doesn't let me choose which of the six bonus games I receive.

At the end, I am very impressed with its overall presentation. And I am coming back on these Rocky steps for frequent base-game wins and such varied bonus rounds.
