There are plenty of patriotic American holidays in this time of the year. May 19 was celebrated as Armed Forces Day. There is Memorial Day on May 28, Flag Day on June 14 and finally Independence Day on July 4. To celebrate all things American, the video slot Bars & Stripes draws high traffic during this period. Since it is a high variance slot machine it leaves a mark on the big winners’ lists. On May 19, a player at Jackpot City online casino took home a handsome amount of €225,000.

Bars & Stripes is an obvious reference to the American flag, which is known as the Stars and Stripes. The high paying symbols are the American eagle, the Statue of Liberty, the American flag, 7 and gold bars. For the low paying symbols popular American food items have been used instead of the customary playing card icons. This enhances the American theme. The symbols are Thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin pie, burger and fries, hot dog, beer and cookie.

The Bars & Stripes logo is the wild symbol with a 2x multiplier property. As is the practice, it does not substitute for the other special symbols. The game logo also awards the highest line payouts. The oval shaped pigskin football is the scatter symbol. It awards payouts multiplied by the total bet when two or more appear anywhere on the reels. Uncle Sam’s top hat is the bonus symbol. It triggers a very simple pick bonus game when three or more of these symbols land anywhere on the reels. You pick one of the symbols for a bonus payout.

Bars & Stripes is a high variance online pokie. Five wild symbols in an active payline deliver 5,000 times the line bet and four of them pay 1,000 times the line bet. The next highest line payout is 600 times the line bet for five American eagles. Bars & Stripes is a five reels and three rows video slot with 25 selectable paylines. However, you should follow the golden rule of activating all the paylines. You can wager up to 10 coins per payline, with the coin size ranging from €0.01 to €1.00. The maximum total bet per spin works out to €250. This is bound to attract the high roller players at Jackpot City online casino.
