Pink Panther And Rocky Branded Online Pokies

The first branded pokies from Playtech, other than the Marvel superhero series, were Rocky and Pink Panther. Since then Playtech has released several other movie based branded pokies like Kong, Top Gun and Ace Ventura. This article revisits Rocky and Pink Panther and shows why they are still very popular. These video pokies are live at all Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino.

The first Pink Panther movie released in 1963 became an instant hit for two reasons. The first was the ineptness of Inspector Clouseau portrayed by Peter Sellers and the second was the animated cartoon character of the Pink Panther used in the opening sequence. Both are used effectively in Playtech’s branded pokie. The symbols include the Pink Panther as the wild and Inspector Clouseau, Pink Paint, Bomb, Magnifying Glass and Footprints. The animations on the reels and off them are awesome. Pink Panther is rich in bonus games and the best of them are described here. In the Pink Pow bonus game, the Pink Panther randomly blows up to 6 symbols and turns them into wilds. In the Crack the Pink Code Bonus the animated feline keeps on opening safes that award free spins, multipliers or expanding wilds. The Jackpot Bonus may lead to one of the two progressive jackpots, but will definitely award a consolation prize. Pink Panther is a 40 payline video pokie in the 5×4 format.

The Rocky branded pokie is based on the series of movies starring Sylvester Stallone as the boxer who won against all odds. Stallone as Rocky is the wild symbol. Five Rocky symbols in an active payline also award the top line payout of 10,000 coins. Other symbols include his opponents from the various Rocky films. The win animations play clips from the movies. The letters R, O, C, K and Y are also used as symbols. If they appear on successive reels in the right order you are awarded 5 times the bet. Three or more scatter symbols can trigger up to 25 free spins at doubled payouts. The best bonus feature in the Rocky online pokie is the Knockout Bonus, which is triggered when the glove symbol appears simultaneously on Reels 1 and 5. A 10 round boxing match between Rocky and a chosen opponent is simulated on the screen. For every round that Rocky wins you receive a cash award. The bout can end in any round with a knock out in Rocky’s favour. All subsequent rounds are deemed to be won by Rocky.
