If you were a fan of CBS’s top-rated TV show CSIYou were part of a global audience of millions that regularly watched the crime lab team use cutting-edge forensic technology to solve gruesome murders. In 2012 CSI he was given the International Audience Award as the most watched show in the world.

The timing was perfect for IGT (International Game Technology) to present their latest creation at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas: the CSI slot machine. The popular three-in-a-penny slot enjoyed a run at 98 casinos across the country. Although the CSI slot is not as popular as it used to be, you can still find them in many gaming jurisdictions.

How to play

The format is a 5-reel, 30-line video slot with bonus features. One to five credits can be wagered to play all 30 lines. The minimum bet is $ .40 (one hundred for each line plus ten cents to cover the bonus features). The maximum bet is $ 2.00 per spin when five credits are wagered. The jackpot is $ 2,250 with maximum credits and $ 450 if you are frugal and bet the minimum.

To get started (after inserting your money, of course) just swipe the screen like you would on your I-Pad or smartphone, and select the game you prefer, CSI Vegas, CSI NY, gold CSI Miami. Your favorite characters from the show will appear in the reel symbols and on the touch screen that has the latest LCD technology and 3D graphics. Audio, video clips and music replicate the selected version. The volume is adjustable as you listen to the great rock group, The OMS, playing the theme (s) of the program. Your chair will even vibrate when certain symbols appear with a payout. You can even switch games during the game.

Additional characteristics

Each version has three additional features: Trace evidence, crime scene, and Criminalistics laboratory. When a Track evidence The symbol is activated on the fifth reel, the screen goes dark, and suddenly additional wild symbols appear, starting multipliers with higher payouts. When three Crime scene Photo symbols appear, start selecting clues on a touch screen at a gruesome crime scene. Each track hides bonus credits behind quizzes. Discover three or more pieces and you are in the Criminalistics laboratory, where you see how forensic evidence is unlocked as you unlock free spins. Each strand of DNA evidence found will increase the multiplication of free spins.

As a rare slots player, but a former CSI fan, I have to say that this game is a lot of fun.

Good luck!
