Code Red also incorporates Bally Technologies’ U-Spin™ gesture-control play mechanic, and the interactive iDeck™ touch-screen button deck. The U-Spin feature awards free games, one of three progressive jackpots, or bonus credits. Players activate the U-Spin-enabled “Wheel Bonus” via a touch-screen glass display mounted in front of the curved LCD that allows them to touch and spin the virtual wheel as if it were a real wheel.
The game also debuts Bally’s new Free Games play mechanic, which shows possible bonus awards above each reel during free games. These awards may be bonus credits, locked wild symbols, or a locked wild reel. When a Code Red symbol appears, players receive the bonus shown above that reel. A new, randomly selected award then replaces the one received. There is also a unique “Wildfire” stacked wilds play mechanic that, when triggered, awards up to three additional wild symbols.
Under the hood, Code Red uses Bally’s proprietary ALPHA 2™ game electronics housed in the Pro Series™ Upright Curve cabinet, featuring the ALPHA Pro Topper™, which is a 15-inch LCD digital video display, and a fully integrated Super Candle and game-synchronized lighting.
The game has been approved by GLI and has been submitted to other North America gaming jurisdictions for approval.
