The Traffic Camera Game is a unique online slot machine developed by Playtech, a renowned gaming software provider. Released in 2012, it offers an intriguing theme centered around speed cameras and traffic enforcement, appealing to players looking for something new and different from traditional slots.
Design and Theme
At first glance, the CCTV Traffic Game demo game’s design seems rather dull and uninspired compared to other games on offer from Playtech. The background of a typical suburban street lined with houses and trees is an attempt to recreate the real-world setting where traffic cameras are often found. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this aspect of the design was overlooked in favor of incorporating symbols and elements directly related to speed cameras.
Upon opening the game, players will notice several key features: a high-definition display showing the camera view, buttons to control gameplay at the bottom left corner (betting and auto-spin controls), and various icons located below the reels. The interface is neatly arranged without unnecessary clutter, allowing an easy focus on the primary objective – navigating through traffic with fines.
Symbols and Payouts
The Traffic Camera Game features a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines, offering players multiple combinations for winning. Symbols can be categorized into three distinct groups based on their role in the game: basic symbols, bonus icons (speed camera signs), and premium rewards associated specifically with speeding offenses.
-
Basic Symbols:
- Spades: Offer prizes from x5 to x100 total bet
- Clubs: Range of winnings from x10 to x150
- Hearts: Award payouts between x20 to x250
- Diamonds: Deliver x50 to x500 returns
-
Bonus Icons (Speed Camera Signs):
- Stop sign: Unlock Free Spins and Speeding Fines bonuses when combined with specific base symbols.
- Speed camera logo:
- Single appearance pays 5x-25x total bet depending on reel position.
- Three in a row yield up to x2,500 prize
-
Premium Rewards:
- A speeding driver award (a combination of several speeding offenses)
- High-speed fines offer up to an impressive maximum jackpot reward valued at £15,000.
Wilds and Scatters
Playtech’s Traffic Camera Game includes two unique special symbols:
- Traffic Officer : Acts as a wild in the base game but only replaces basic and high-value icons (hearts and above). It doesn’t enhance winning combinations nor award separate payouts on its own.
- Warning Sign :
- As part of Scatters, Warning Signs multiply wins by 10 times their line value regardless of what symbol combination they trigger.
- However, there is a specific win-line multiplier of x15 assigned exclusively to the warning sign in solo combinations.
Free Spins can be unlocked when three or more high-paying "Traffic Officer" icons land on the reels. This activates one of two unique bonus features: Free Spins or Speeding Fines Bonus. The player then selects from three choices that include different numbers of free spins and additional wins upon completion, while also possibly initiating further bonus rounds if luck is in their favor.
Free Spins and Bonuses
Both the standard Bonus Games , along with an exclusive addition – Highway Offender Bonus Game or Traffic Fines – share a similar reward structure where players aim to achieve one of several potential end objectives. Within these modes, there’s usually more than a few lucrative bonus payouts that could multiply winnings dramatically.
A feature dubbed as the ‘Free Spins Round’ has an interesting design which ties into gameplay by letting multiple bonuses function without a predefined cap for possible earnings – allowing experienced players to reach and then potentially break through significant value ceilings.
