Slot Review: Houdini

To this day, we still refer to someone evading a sticky situation as “a real Houdini” in honor of the great escape artist and magician. The man who would become Harry Houdini was both Ehrich Weiss in Hungary in 1874. He came to America with his family when he was a small boy and immediately took an interest in magic. As a young man he toured his magic act on the vaudeville circuit, and gradually developed more and more fame for his increasingly death-defying tricks. The Houdini online slot game is a fitting tribute to this legend. Not only is it unique looking and fun to play, but it’s also stuffed with big cash.

Houdini is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot machine game by Gamesys. Coin values start at just one cent and range up to four dollars. Max coins is set at a value of twenty-five (one coin per payline), and you can certainly play this exceptional online slot game as a penny slot if you wish. To do so, however, is to rob yourself of a shot at the ten thousand coin max jackpot! If you are betting the maximum one hundred dollars per spin, this prize tops out at forty thousand bucks!

The image of Houdini himself is both the jackpot and the wild symbol for this slot machine title. The locked wooden box and the balloon are both scatter symbols. Getting at least three of one or the other will take you to one of two interactive bonus games in which you imitate Houdini’s extreme stunts for extra cash! The theming of this game is superb, and the visuals are reminiscent of a Victorian circus cartoon – very appropriate.
