Wombat Overview
Scudmore’s Super Stakes is no longer available at Wombat Casino. Sorry about that chaps. Why not try Finns Golden Tavern from NetEnt instead?
What could be better than feeling the turf under my paws and the wind in my hair? Well, now thanks to NetEnt’s latest sporty slot thriller, Scudamore’s Super Stakes, I can. This romp of the slot is based on racing the old gee-gees- that’s horses to you sport.
The dude at the centre of the action is eight-time champion jockey, Peter Scudamore MBE. This is guy who’s not afraid to leap onto a horse’s back and ride down the competition to win! He sounds like a toughie to this wombat. I’d be scared to jump on a possum!
Better still those wizards at NetEnt, those lovely people behind the Turn Your Fortune slot, Starburst and Gonzo’s Quest, have dreamed up a super clever bonus Bet Slip feature that will have you sitting on the edge of your seats for a favourable result with a very generous 1242x your wager win potential. Yup, you heard me. 1242. Better still, there’s Peter’s Classic Cup Bonus Feature with extended reels in a horse race to remember with a totally crackers x500 your wager win in the offing. Strewth!
Look and Feel
This game pays homage to the competitive and thrilling excitement of horse racing. Front and centre in this game, on the reels in fact, is Peter Scudamore, the legendary jockey. It’s very green, (kind of like the Book of Oz slot, but then that’s to be expected given the subject matter!)
You don’t need to be a jockey, or even a horse racing enthusiast to catch the competitive bug with this game which builds a brilliant buzzy pre-race atmosphere that will have you ready to stake your bet and take your seats in the enclosure.
The smart green reels are set against an aerial view of a racetrack, with jockeys filling the reels. To the right of the reels you’ll see the edge of a white piece of paper, the Bet Slip. This isn’t the fanciest set of graphics this wombat has seen but it is clear and easy on the eye and it’s still streets ahead of more traditional games such as the Bear Money slot and others.
The adventuring tally-ho music to accompany play is rousing stuff. You’ll be keen as mustard to get started.
Game Play
Scudamore’s Super Stakes is a 3 rows and 5 reels and an rather tasty 20 pay-lines. Watch out though, in Peter’s bonus feature the reels extend to another row making a frankly delicious 32 pay-lines.
As you would expect, the reels are packed with a series of jockeys on horseback, the competitors. There are jockies in red and blue, purple, green and blue. The Ace through Jack of the card deck are the lower value icons of the game.
It is no surprise that a photo of the smiling Peter Scudamore is the game’s Wild. Collect five of the Wilds on an active pay-line and receive a 1,000 coin cash injection. Whoo-hoo! The Wild substitutes for all icon except the Scatter (with the exception of the Bet Slip feature.). The shiny Scatter is a golden winner’s cup emblazoned with the word “Scatter”.
