Time to start pumping iron with a fruit machine by Rival Software in their latest “i-Slot,” Heavyweight Gold; it’s a sport-themed pub fruity with boxing gloves and the punch to go with it. Weights, punch bags, bells start the rounds, buckets of water and a towel mop down your selected contender.
Inside the Knockout Bonus round players have two buttons, one to ‘defend’ and one to ‘punch’ and a bar to show players how much resistance the player has left before they end up kissing the ring or slapping down the opponent. When 3 of the same contenders show up on the reels in one spin, players will enter the ring with their fighter of choice. The bobbing and weaving begins and the countdown for the fight is called. 3 curvy girls in red swimsuits will trigger a 10 free spins.
Heavyweight Gold throws in a little comic relief in the middle of all that sweat and bulging muscles with two disproportionate women who walk out onto the stage complete with boobs that jiggle and something imaginary in between their legs. The two girls on either side of the slot register for players their free spins and free coins while the reels spin over a crowded auditorium of adrenaline touting fans. Also, two referees and an expanding wild boxer will punch the reels 3 times, hard, to the sound of a jail door closing indefinitely. For as we all know, boxers don’t always have the best of reputations.
