Ever been to Texas? Ever seen the Classic James Dean movie "Giant"? Or Dallas on the small screen? Or the Beverly Hillbillies for that matter? Well the theme is loosely based on them and other stories of Texas oil and the amazing fortunes derived from Black Gold. Fortunes were made and empires were born. Go on a treasure hunt (for Crude Oil) and meet the man himself; The Texas Tycoon.
How to become a Texan Tycoon
Game play is a 5 Reel, 25 Pay Lines set up which affords maximum flexibility. It is packed with Special Features including a Progressive Jackpot, Free Spins and Bonus Games. Besides the Tycoon, others characters to watch out for include; Oil Wells, Oil Drums, Oil Riggers, Piles of Cash, Trucks and card/numbers; 9 and 20, J, Q, K and A. Wagering and Coin values are pretty wide ranging from as little as $0.01 all the way up to a high $125 per Spin. This provides great variety and appeals to High Rollers as well as those betting very low amounts.
Texas is a huge state and everything is bigger in Texas. Like so with the game. The Bonuses and Multipliers are bigger, the payouts are bigger and the action is bigger too. The Scatter; which is the 5 Oil Wells, pays out a staggering Multiplier of 200 times your bet. The Wild is the Oil Tycoon, with the unique ability to substitute all other Symbols to create winning combinations for you to win more. The only exception that the Wild cannot replace is the Scatter (5 Oil Wells). The Wild also acts as a Multiplier with 10 times your bet. Great features without a doubt. But the best is left for last. The largest payouts occur upon getting 5 Piles of Cash on the Reels. This leads to a 1,500 credit award and paid out with a 10 times Multiplier.
The icing on the cake just has to be the Progressive Jackpot. It is random and can pay out after every Spin/Game and surprise you with the top award, just out of the blue. Since this is a Progressive Jackpot, the amount is never the same but it does tend to go up very high before it is won, and once it is won, the amount creeps up consistently and substantially. With a little luck the Jackpot could be yours for the taking.
Free Bonus Round
The Texan Tycoon offers an engaging and interesting Free Bonus Round. It is activated upon landing 3 Oil Wells. Once this happens, you will have a choice of Oil Wells to pick and 25 Free Spins to find. Wins are tripled during the round to add spice and increase your chances of winning.
If you love a good Slot game with plenty of winning chances then Texan Tycoon is for you. It is impossible not to like the theme and setting of the game, everyone can relate to it. The characters (Symbols) and background are pleasing to the eye and make the game more pleasurable. All in all, a great game, quite different from the competition but engaging and interesting in its own right. Put on your cowboy hat, go on down to the Cattleman's Club to discuss oil and cows with other Texan Tycoons, maybe their luck will rub off on you and you will also strike gold: Black Gold.
