The game features an urban surveillance theme, where players take on the role of a detective tasked with solving crimes and unraveling mysteries in a bustling metropolis.
Game Design
Visually, CCTV Rush Hour is a modern and sleek slot that evokes the feeling of high-stakes investigative Rush Hour game work. The reels are set against a backdrop of city streets filled with towering skyscrapers, busy streets, and pedestrians rushing to and fro. Symbols on the game’s paytable include images of surveillance cameras, binoculars, magnifying glasses, police badges, cars, phones, laptops, and other urban-themed objects.
Symbols
The standard symbols in CCTV Rush Hour are represented by 10 card values from Ace to 5, as well as the usual high-paying icons. However, the game’s true attention-grabber is its collection of special symbols designed around the urban surveillance theme.
- Surveillance Camera: The wild symbol replaces all other paying combinations.
- Binoculars: Trigger the "Rush Hour" Bonus Feature when three or more appear on a winning line.
- Magnifying Glass: Award instant cash prizes for 3, 4, and 5-of-a-kind wins.
- Police Badge: Activate the "Badge of Honour" feature with specific combinations.
Payouts
The payout structure in CCTV Rush Hour is designed to reward players who land multiple matching symbols on adjacent reels. Payout amounts increase significantly when more winning lines are activated, creating a thrilling experience that’s both competitive and potentially profitable for those willing to take calculated risks.
- Symbol value: x5 (for 2-of-a-kind) up to x2000 (for 5-of-a-kind)
- Multiple win combos: Up to x50 bonus multiplier applied during winning lines
Wilds
The Surveillance Camera symbol functions as a Wild, capable of substituting for any other standard paying icon in the game. While it can’t replace special symbols or the Scatter, its ability to create new combinations significantly increases winning chances.
Scatters
