Slot Review: Bars and Stripes

God bless the USA, indeed! Patriotic themes have historically proven to be big winners in the online slot machine industry, and Bars and Stripes is no exception. This Microgaming punter is dedicated to the theme of Americana, and is drenched in red, white, and blue. A fat jackpot, smooth gameplay, and well-executed, tongue-in-cheek theming all add up to make this a really exceptional online slot game offering, one that should be popular with players all over the world.

Bars and Stripes is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot machine game. Coin values start at one cent, and range upwards to one dollar, with max coins of two hundred fifty making a high roller’s wet dream of a two hundred fifty dollar maximum per-spin wager! The jackpot is a very impressive fifty thousand coins, or fifty thousand dollars.

The reels are filled with symbols that immediately evoke life in the United States: a plate of hamburgers and French fries, a bald eagle in profile, the Statue of Liberty, a steaming apple pie, a foaming pint of lager, a hot dog, and a Thanksgiving turkey poked with an American flag. The jingoism is over the top, but the theming works well. Wilds, multipliers, scatters, and bonuses all guarantee that this game will never get boring, allowing hours of exciting and lucrative gameplay. The bonus game affords you a chance to win as much as forty-seven thousand five hundred dollars if you pick the lucky “Uncle Sam” top hat, bedecked with stars and stripes! Let freedom ring!
