Coronation Street is one of the nation’s favorite soap operas, so it wasn’t before a high RTP slot version of the game was launched.
When it pops up on your screen you will notice that all of those familiar landmarks you have come to associate with the street like Street Cars and Roys Rolls are there and you can even have a browse at the Weatherfield gazette to see what those characters are up to. All of this is set on the infamous street. In fact, you can even see the cobbles behind the reels.
It has 5 reels and 5 pay lines, allowing you to bet as little as 10p up to £1. First, you need to select the number of lines you would like to bet on using the LINES meter, and then the number of stakes you would like to bet per line using the STAKE meter.
Once that is all sorted, you can hit Spin to start the soap opera action. If you want to place the maximum bet – you can also choose to hit BET MAX and it will automatically do it for you.
There is also an auto-play facility where you can get the reels to spin without having to do anything for a certain number of rounds. The reels will keep on going until you have finished your funds or until the set number of spins has been completed.
Unlike most credit deposit slot games the Coronation Street slot doesn’t have a wild symbol to speak of, in fact, it doesn’t even have a bonus round featured which is a little on the disappointing side, it pretty much relies on the gimmick of being based on Coronation Street to draw players in on that front.
Perhaps even more disappointing is that there is no Betty’s hot pot or glass of red at the Rovers on the go. (Although the Newton and Ridley Best Bitter pump pops up on the reels occasionally).
What it does have though is a lovely big progressive jackpot. For those of you who are new to the slot world, this is a jackpot that will keep on rising, the more slot accounts money that is put in until it is scooped by a lucky player. The jackpot is known to go up as high as nearly £900K, so there are some life-changing wins that could be won, and you will get a lovely trip to the most famous street in Britain.
Overall we weren’t overly impressed by this one – with a name like Coronation Street they could have done a lot more with it, but we are sure it will go down well with fans of the soap or fans of progressive jackpots.
