24 has become 1 of the most successful franchises in TV history. Does the slot game version match? First impressions are positive - the reels have a high tech feel. The lower value, computer style A to 9 playing cards are joined by a pistol, an ID badge and Jack Bauer himself. Land 3, 4 or 5 of Bauer on adjacent reels and you'll pocket 1, 2 or 12 times your total stake.
The green crosshair is the game's wild - it replaces all other symbols apart from the scatter and free spins symbol. Both of the latter can trigger a feature.
Free Spins feature - to trigger this round, you'll need to land the gold Free Spins symbol on the middle reel. You'll then be awarded 10 free spins. Gun fights break out during the free spins, adding modifier extras to the reels. If the machine gun fires, the whole of a reel will turn wild. If it's the pistol, random symbols will be shot and turned wild. If the baddies throw a bomb, it will explode to turn a 2x2 block of symbols into a giant wild.
Bonus feature - land 3 or more of the 24 Bonus symbol anywhere on the reels to trigger this round. Your challenge here is to try and defuse a bomb. The more bonus symbols you landed to trigger the feature, the more time you'll have to do so. Cut wires to reveal cash prizes. Land a multiplier and you'll get more time - you can win up to 100 times your total stake as well as a 10x multiplier.
24 is a typically glossy effort which we've come to expect from high profile, branded slot games from iSoftBet. The design here is top-end and works well, especially in combination with the pacey, adrenaline-fuelled backing track. The features on offer in 24 aren't bad either. The extra wilds in the Free Spins feature can certainly liven up the bonus action.
It may not quite offer the thrills from the TV show but this slot game adaptation is an entertaining one and well worth closer investigation. If you like games based on popular television shows, Game of Thrones by Microgaming is recommended.
