Medal Tally is everything one would expect from a sports themed slot game. The premise is simple, the more medals you collect, the more you win. Pretty straightforward right? Well, not quite. There are several different sports represented here, mainly athletics and the character Symbols reflect that.
Win those Medals
That's it. Win as many as you can. The layout of Medal Tally is a well established format used extensively, which adds familiarity and tranquillity. There are 5 Reels and 25 Pay Lines to choose from when wagering. There is a great Progressive Jackpot and several Bonus Features, all adding to the pedigree of the game and the finished product. The game controls and buttons are useful and effective and the betting is a fixed $1 per Spin, spread across all the Pay Lines. The screen allows monitoring of your account balance winnings and amounts wagered in a small box at the top of the screen, a useful tool without a doubt. The Spin Button commences the action and the Up/Down, Bet and Auto Play Buttons are the main controls you will need. Other useful tools include the Help/Info Buttons which make essential reading of rules, configurations, symbol values and a host of other useful information that you would do well to read before attempting to play the game; it could make the difference between winning and losing.
Medal Symbols & Characters
The Symbols used in Medal Tally are a mixture of characters associated with sports. The Laurel Crown is the scatter symbol and the Medal is the Wild Symbol. The Scatter Symbol: Laurel Crown, can give away Free Games by getting 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols on any line. Then, you are awarded 10, 15, or even 20 Free Games, respectively. What's more, all your winnings during the Free Games Round are tripled. The Medal Wild Symbol can award very high cash payouts. If the Wild replaces 2, 3, 4 or 5 other Symbols on a line, then you stand to win 10, 200, 1,500 or as much as 10,000 times your wager amount. That is really awesome and a game changer.
The "lesser" Symbols still get respectable payouts in their own right. The Runner Symbol pays out 5,000 for 5, 800 for 4 of a kind. The Cyclist Symbol pays 2,000 for 5 and 400 for 4 of a kind. Both The Swimmer and The Stadium get a payout of 1,500 for 5, 200 for 4 of a kind. Letters A and K get 800 and 100 respectively and the Letters Q and J get 400 and 50 respectively. Even the lowest count and the numbers 9 and 10 win you 200 and 25 respectively. Getting 3 Symbols in a row will also won you consolation prizes. Another (good) point to keep in mind is that getting combinations of Symbols, the payout is multiplied by the cash amount per line ($0.04).
Bonuses, Features & Jackpot
Medal Tally has a lot more to offer besides the usual features found in many Slot games. For instance, all medals collected receive Bonus Prizes which are added to your credit balance and awarded at the end of a game or Special Feature. The maximum amount that you are able to win, per spin is 40,000 times your bet per line. The Jackpot is won when 50 (or more) medals are collected during the Free Games feature.
Just as sports personalities prepare for the sport diligently, patiently and resiliently, so must the player prepare for a game if he/she wants to win. It is exactly the same ideal and mentality that will encourage a win. A positive mindset is key and practice makes perfect. Keep this strategic mentality and you will win the Medal Tally and highest payout of 50,000 times your initial bet.
