Bars and Stripes - a play on "Stars and Stripes" - is a 5-reel, 25 pay line game. The graphics are fun and the sound effects are always entertaining. The marching band music adds to the atmosphere - you can't help but have a grand ol' time when you're playing Bars and Stripes.
The Bars and Stripes symbol is the wild symbol - it can substitute for any other symbol to form a winning combination, except the scatter symbol (football) or the hat symbol. This Bars and Stripes symbol also serves as a multiplier, which will automatically double your win when it is used in a winning combination.
The football is the all-important scatter symbol which need not appear in an enabled line but rather will win for you if three or more appear on any of the reels at all. Bars and Stripes also has a hat scatter symbol, which triggers a Hat Bonus Game. If you have three to five hats scattered across any of the reels, this bonus game is launched, affording you the opportunity to win big - up to 47,500 coins if you're lucky. If 3 hats appear around the reels, you get to pick 1 hat and reveal its value; 4 hats let you pick 2 bonus hats; and 5 hats let you pick 3 bonus hats. This game is one of the most exciting features of Bars and Stripes so keep your eyes peeled for the hat.
