Last year, Incredible Technologies launched the Infinity V55 cabinet, which features a 55-inch, flat-screen 4K vertical full-touch monitor, making it the largest screen on a core cabinet in the industry.
This year, the manufacturer is loading the cabinet style with new games, one of the first being Bars Up.
Bars Up features a traditional-style slot game on dual 25-line reel arrays. Game play centers on classic bar symbols, and a simple game mechanic: When a gold bar symbol lands, it upgrades the bar symbols on its reel set, turning single bars into double bars and double bars into triple bars.
Three scatter symbols trigger the free spins event, where the reels contain only bar symbols. Players continue the free spins event as long as at least one bar symbol lands. Once a bar lands, it slides down to the lowest unoccupied position and locks in place. Players who fill the entire screen with bars are awarded a bonus credit amount, in addition to the accumulation of their line wins.
Three bonus symbols trigger a picking bonus in which the player touches gold tiles to reveal progressive symbols, the goal being to match three symbols corresponding to one of five progressive bonuses, with resets ranging from $25 to $1,000. It’s a “true-pick” progressive feature—the outcome is not predetermined; all jackpots are available and players really are choosing their prize. The screen reveals what was behind the icons not selected, to drive that point home with players.
