Review

Though silent film dates back from the late 19th century until the first quarter of the 20th century, there are few people alive now that can remember them first hand, but there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t enjoy the fun they used to. It might be a called Silent Screen and based on silent films but there are certainly a lot of animations with sound used in its production. However most of these sounds have been reused from previous Cryptologic games which is shows the game been produced well but lacking in certain original qualities; they even feature high-card suit values.

Fortunately there are some superb aspects to this game. The scatter Camera and the wild Actress are certain highlights too. Not just content on being authentic in their appearance, the animations that occur after they have presented you with a prize are quite stunning too, making them the most sought after icons in many ways. The lead actor is the next most popular icon to spin on the reels, especially as he can drop you the second best prize available. Spin 2, 3, 4 or 5 across an active payline to receive a prize of 3, 50, 150 or 1,500 times your line bet. Other interesting icons such as the director, car and clapperboards also date back to the time the slot is themed upon, giving you another angle atmospheric authenticity.

Though the reel spins and regular sounds are nothing special, when you create prizes using the better icons and see their resultant sounds and animations, you are certainly in for more of a treat than what you get in an average video slot. Silent Screen may not be to everyone’s tastes but for using an original theme, amalgamating it into a brilliant slot makes it worth of any enthusiast’s attention.

Progressive Jackpot

To win one of the progressive jackpots rapidly ticking over to the left of the reels is done completely at random. You’ll be notified at the end of a spin that you have gained entrance to the Movie Mayhem bonus game where you will be taken to a concessions stand in a cinema. Choose your snacks wisely and hidden behind them you hopefully find the golden tickets that lurk. Every ticket you find will take you up a level onto the progressive jackpots. The more tickets you get, the better the prize you will win. Take a look at our Movie Mayhem Jackpots Page for more details.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol of the actress is definitely one icon that emits the style and class of the era. Over dramatised actions, flickering frames and terror-filled piano accompaniment underscores the animation of this actress when she wins you a prize. Show 2, 3, 4 or 5 of here across an active payline to drop you 10, 200, 2,000 or 5,000 times your line bet as a prize. Keep in mind she also has the power to substitute herself for all other icons except the scatter to help win you further prizes that are on offer…and who said woman didn’t have power? Don’t forget that she does substitute herself, the prize is automatically doubled too! ;)

Scatter Symbol

The scatter icon is much more static compared to the wild. A simple old movie-camera is the scatter symbol. Show 2, 3, 4 or 5 across the reels in any positions and you will have earned your total spun bet multiplied 1, 5, 20 or 200 times respectively, back into your balance. Three or more will also trigger the free spins round.

Free Spins

Spin 3 or more of the scatter icons across the reels to give yourself 15 free games. All free spin prizes are automatically tripled! You can’t trigger the bonus round for the progressive jackpots during the free-spins but you can re-trigger another 15 free spins if you are lucky. Sit back and relax as you watch the reels make you prizes and the sky behind the reels lights up like another night at the Oscars!
