Wild Symbol

In CCTV Rush Hour, the surveillance van serves as a wild symbol. It replaces all other symbols except for scatters and bonus icons, creating additional winning combinations when substituted in the correct positions on the reels.

Scatter Symbols

The game features two scatter symbols: the Camera Scatter (blue) and the Surveillance System Scatter (red). These scatters are active during Free Spins mode.

Bonus Features

CCTV Rush Hour comes with several bonus features that can enhance players’ experience:

Free Spins Mode

To activate this feature, three or more surveillance system scatter icons must land anywhere on the reels. Players will be awarded 15 free spins during which all wild symbols become sticky. Additionally, all non-winning combinations will award a multiplier of x2.

During Free Spins mode, players can also collect two bonus symbols (Camera Scatter and Surveillance System Scatter), each carrying different multipliers (x1 or x5). These symbols serve as triggers for the respective free spins modes:

• Free Spins 5x : If three or more blue scatter icons are collected, a 25-free-spins mode is triggered with all wins multiplied by five.

Bonus Symbols

Bonus symbols also appear on reels 2 and 4 during Free Spins mode. When these bonus symbols land in the correct positions (e.g., two of them side-by-side), they trigger:

• Bonus Free Spins : The camera scatter will award 25 free spins with a multiplier applied, but no sticky wilds.
• Surveillance System Bonus : Two red scatters on reels 2 and 4 open the surveillance system panel. Players then see two symbols selected from the game’s grid for each of their four remaining free spins.

RTP (Return to Player)

CCTV Rush Hour features a high return-to-player percentage, which means players have a fair chance of winning prizes.

Volatility

This slot game is categorized as highly volatile. It offers big wins but infrequently so, meaning that some users might experience longer winless streaks than others.

Betting Range

The minimum bet in CCTV Rush Hour is 0.01 credits per spin for a maximum of 125 total possible combinations to activate the entire grid at once.

Max Win

CCTV Rush Hour offers a substantial max payout, equivalent to 5x the initial coin value times the multiplier (25000 credits).
