Vortex Power Kick: Take a Shot at the Penalty Box for Up to 200x Multipliers

It's always a bit of a gamble when a provider tries something different, but Turbo Games has decided to leave that comfort zone with Vortex Power Kick. This crash-style casino game has up to 200x multipliers. That is, of course, if you manage to kick out the yellow card inside the vortex. 

Instead of a regular reel grid, this game is a vortex containing five symbols and four progressive meters. Every paying symbol landing in the middle of the grid pushes its respective progression meter forward. Whenever the yellow card shows up, knocking every active meter back by one step. So, it's on you to cash out or let greed take control of the mouse.

The Ball symbol can climb through four stages and reach a 10x multiplier, with the final step awarding a 7x my bet instant payout. The Kick symbol progresses through six stages, reaching up to a 44x multiplier, while completing its final stage awards an instant 20.5x my bet. 

Then comes the Bicycle Kick, the big boy of the bunch. It can progress through eight stages, reach a 200x multiplier, and unlock the bonus round at the final level.

During my session, I landed a paying symbol roughly every three to four spins; same goes for the yellow card. Thankfully, I managed to cash out between 1.55x and 2.50x my bet before things went horribly wrong. I occasionally gave in to greed as well, and that did pay off with returns of 14x, 18x, and 20x my bet.

That said, my longest stretch without a rewarding symbol, while the yellow card kept appearing, lasted around 10 spins. So, that side of the coin is worth keeping in mind before getting carried away.

Twice, I managed to complete the first layer and collect the automatic 7x my bet payout. As for the bonus round on the third layer, it sat there like a bloody carrot on a stick, looking tasty without ever letting me have a bite.

Crash games like Vortex Power Kick are difficult to predict. Personally, I'd only approach it with at least 200x my bet in my bankroll and a clear limit in mind. If you let passion cloud your judgment, that yellow card will probably be more than happy to teach you a rather expensive lesson.
