The Texas Tornado slot machine is an older title by Multimedia Games(now Everi) and may be one of the first slots to actually incorporate a side game that’s completely independent of the base slot itself. Similar to other Everi games that employ their now familiar 3×3 video grid layout, the primary game is composed of 32 lines with a max bet of 256 credits, or 8 credits per line. The Grand Jackpot of 256,000 credits is won by filling all reels with the special “Texas Tornado” top symbol. Three of these symbols on a payline pays a respectable 1000 credits per line credit bet, or 8000 credits at max bet. The bonus is triggered by landing bonus symbols on line 1, which is the only positions where they can appear. The bonus itself is a fairly basic “Pick” bonus where you are awarded three picks to reveal prizes of 2X, 5X, and 10X the total bet of your base game. If you find the special “Bank” symbol, its value will vary between 15X to 100X. As such, if you pick correctly and with some luck, you can achieve the top award in this bonus of 120X your base game bet!
The Side Action Poker bet is an optional bet, and is proportional to your base bet and is 200 credits when your base game is played at the max 256 credits. You are paid according to poker hands, and need “Jacks or Better” in order to win. Here are the payouts:
Jacks or Better: 8 to 5
Two Pair: 4 to 1
Three of a Kind: 8 to 1
Straight: 20 to 1
Flush: 32 to 1
Full House: 48 to 1
Four of a Kind: 400 to 1
Straight Flush: 3200 to 1
Royal Flush: 12000 to 1
Is the bet a true bet where the cards are drawn randomly from a virtual deck? I’m actually not sure, although if someone from Everi can let me know, that would be great! If that’s the case, the actual odds of the bet could be determined. I tend to think, though, that it’s not the same as drawing 5 random cards from a deck and that combinations are determined in another fashion, in order to align the bet’s payout percentage to the slot’s overall setting, although I could be wrong. All in all, a fun game, and very similar to their Blazin’ Bucks game:
