PRICE CHECK




PRICE CHECK
Price check is one of the many video slot machines to have taken residence on the casino floors during the video slot boom of the last few years. I guess it is a popular game as the machines are still in many casinos in Atlantic City. The trouble I have had with the game is that I have had little luck in both the base game and especially in the bonus game. People do play the game, I am not sure if they win, if they play long, or why they even play.
The premise is a retail store checkout counter, and the bonus is based on the price check theme. Ok, what can I say, but what kinds of people are attracted to this sort of entertainment? We have many varieties of slot themes to choose to be exposed to, why in the world would you want to experience waiting in line at a store as a fun thing??? I guess you may realize by now that I hate top wait on any type of lines, but the games are still around so there must be an audience. My question then is why not a game based on "the Buffet Line" the cashier line, pick a line to wait on, if no one on the line is doing a marker, cashing personal checks, you win a bigger bonus. Or for the ladies, the bathroom line, get in and out under and collect a large bonus, because you will get back to your husband sooner before he looses another $100.
Well, the base game is described as follows, the bonuses are what they are, and if you like the game God Bless, just email me your number so I can call you next time I need to go the local DMV, I'm sure you wouldn't mind waiting in line. (Hey, wait, now THAT should make a GREAT video slot.


Go nuts and bolts with the Price Check™ video slots game. With a friendly counter clerk, a tool shed full of animated power equipment reel symbols, and a hardware store shopping spree bonus, this 9-line/45-coin or 20-line/100-coin Game King® theme is a handyman’s heaven!

Land three animated cash register symbols anywhere on reels one, three, and five to trigger the Price Check bonus, where players shop the hardware store for a stash of bonus credits. Players choose from three to five items, which are scanned by the friendly employee. As they are scanned, each item reveals either a credit award or a multiplier; however, sometimes items fail to scan. When this happens, the cashier shouts for a "price check," and store employees holler back credit amounts - the highest of which the player gets to keep! After all the items have been "rung up," the bonus screen displays a receipt showing the total award amount multiplied by any multipliers discovered during the bonus round.

Comical "fix it" antics will have you "crack"ing a smile when three or more Handyman symbols land anywhere on the reels. Select one, two, or three of the hard-working Handyman symbols to reveal bonus wins while our animated "jack of all trades" encounters hilarious hazards.

The hammermashed, throbbing red thumb symbol is wild with animated tool and hardware reel symbols on played paylines; fi ve of the bandaged appendage symbols on a played payline pays a top award that’ll turn the tables on the Jones’s rivalry.

With the "hands on fun" of the Price Check game "do it yourselfers" will find this theme a handyman's haven, because everyone knows there’s no such thing as "one quick trip down to the hardware store."
