Slot Review: Computer Rage

There’s nothing like the evils of technology to make normally sane people go right over the edge and into the deep end! Well, that and the inanity of working in a corporate office environment! Most people in their twenties and thirties are familiar with the latter-day comedy classic “Office Space,” starring a young Jennifer Anniston (from the 90s sitcom “Friends,” and endless romantic comedies) as the girlfriend of a dorky nebbish who pushes paperwork behind a desk at his job all day, and has to cope with an overbearing, annoying boss and the endless red tape of bureaucracy. It’s clear that the Computer Rage online slot was a tribute to the humor of that film. This Cryptologic-designed internet casino game title is a laugh-out-loud, extremely replayable poker machine romp through life in a cubicle, which is no party. Somehow, however, this game is a LOT of fun!

Meet Rita, the protagonist of the story told in this online slot. You’ll be introduced through a cute opening animation. She is just trying to get through her day at work at the office without too much trouble from the obnoxious boss that is the bane of her whole existence. You’ll meet him on the reels as the wild symbol! Help Rita with her work, spinning images of different office images and supplies, to win big and get her out for the day!

Computer Rage is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot machine game. Coin values start at a low value of just one cent, and top out at five dollars. Max coins is twenty-five, or one coin per payline. That makes the highest per-spin wager one of one hundred twenty-five dollars. The jackpot of five thousand coins makes the top prize for this game a very respectable twenty-five thousand dollars. There is a free practice mode for players who prefer to test out the wares before they plunk down their bets.

Such symbols as a pretty receptionist, a stapler, an inbox piled with paperwork, and an evil-looking computer are featured on the reels, along with some funky-looking letters and numbers. The icons are another clear homage to “Office Space” – who can forget the poor nerd who is so in love with his special stapler, or the guy taking the office equipment out back and smashing it after he is fired from his dead-end job? The background is a busy office, complete with a clock, a desk, and several stacks of paperwork. The symbol of the Boss is wild, and can stand in for any other symbol on the reels in a winning combination with the exception of the scatter symbol. He also multiplies the payout of whatever combination he completes, with a multiplier that varies. Computer Rage also features scatter symbols and free spins to keep the action moving along. Cryptologic’s excellent autospin feature is enabled, which plays the game for you up to twenty-five times so that you don’t get a sore clicker finger! It’s doubtful that you will get bored of this excellent online slot with so many different features to keep you entertained.
