The new Playtech branded slot game Top Gun has gone live at its online casinos. This video slot is based on the Paramount Pictures high action movie that was released in 1986, but is still quite popular. The story is about characters in the U.S. Navy’s elite flying class and the movie has some amazing fighter plane visuals. For some unknown reason, the hero of the movie, Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell does not figure in the cast of the branded slot, but this will not detract from its popularity.

The high paying symbols in Top Gun branded slot game are some of the other important members of the cast. The list is headed by Charlie, the civilian flight instructor and Maverick’s love interest. You will also meet Iceman, Goose, Jester and Stinger. During the win animations you do see a scene of that character from the movie, but it is not classy enough for a branded video slot game from Playtech. The highest five of a kind payout is awarded by the wild symbol, the Top Gun logo, but it pays only for five of a kind. The low paying symbols are pilot’s jacket, clipboard and playing card icons from ace to jack.

There are two features in Top Gun. The Dogfight Wilds can occur on any spin. Your wingman flies his plane in front of the reels, while they are still spinning. He aims for a spot and fires, loading a wild symbol there. Up to 15 wilds can be added on any spin. The Danger Zone free spins are triggered when the fighter plane symbol lands simultaneously anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. You will be awarded 8 free spins. The free spins can be retriggered indefinitely with the same combination. The Dogfight Wilds can be triggered during any free spin as well and will be more powerful.

Top Gun is 243 ways online slot game. You wager one coin per payline with the coin size ranging from 0.01 to 10.00. The total bet is only 25 times the line bet. The top two five of a kind payouts are 1500 and 1000 coins, which are slightly on the higher side for an all ways online slot game. But there are no scatter payouts so it balances out. If you are Top Gun fan do not miss the songs Take My Breath Away and Danger Zone in the background.
