Bonus Rounds and Payouts

Cuckoo offers one of the most creative and exciting online slot bonus features that we have ever encountered. The Alarm feature is innovative and brilliantly original. Be on the lookout for the antique clocks so that you can experience this feature. Also, look for the decorative Porcelain Egg symbols which hold the highest values of all the symbols in this game. Players can wager as little as $0.01 and as much as $100 using coin sizes from 0.01 to 1. Players can choose to play 1 to 10 lines per spin as well.

SlotsThe Alarm

This feature is triggered when a player gets the Clock symbol on reels 1, 3, and 5. The Alarm is set to a random time that the player doesn’t know and can’t see. You move the golden hand forward on the clock to determine the multiplier. As the golden hand is moved further, the multiplier increases, but the odds of winning the bonus decreases. If the Alarm doesn’t go off after placing the hand, you can then reposition the hand for a second opportunity at winning. The Alarm is set to the current time (based on the device on which you are playing) and this is the chance to receive the highest win available. The bonus game is over if one of the following occurs: The player successfully moves the golden hand twice and wins 2400x the bet, or the Alarm just goes off.

SlotsRisk Game

If you really want to gamble, the Risk Game lets you do just that. After a bonus win, you can choose one of four playing cards to beat the dealer’s up card. If you pick a card higher than the dealer’s card, you win and can keep going. You can do this up to ten times if you ae really in the mood to take a chance. However, if you pick a card lower than the dealers card, not only is the bonus game over, but you also lose all winnings that you risked. Ideally, you want to choose a Joker card, which trumps all other cards. The dealer cannot get the Joker, but has access to the rest of the deck. If the player ties the dealer, you simply move to the next pick without winning or losing anything for that pick.

Additional Game Features

  • Mobile Play: Cuckoo is available on your tablet or mobile device for play on the go.

Summary

Cuckoo, with its elegant feel and design, is a nice change of pace from the normal animated online slots.
