This game is dedicated to sports theme and specifically bike and when I first saw its interface my first thought was ‘Wow, how vivid appearance’. Maybe the blue back colour shouldn’t be so powerful and generally the game can be less colourful and I think this is the typical example when less sometimes gives more.

The other thought came across my mind was as if I had been dropped in a Tour de France or other cycling race (later I realized it is actually the Tour de France as the little animation reveal Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe at the background). All symbols are about competition and even those that don’t illustrate a snapshot-like image from the competition for example card elements that all have an equipment object decoration or winner’s cup or blood pressure monitor suggest how hard and killer this race could be. The graphics are average and as I said very colourful but I think it represents well the excitement mood of a sports event. So probably the overall pictorial solutions can be more detailed or fine-tuned but it still provide a playable screen with great atmosphere.

The game segment is as simple as it can be and there aren’t a bunch of features just the basic extras. The best five of a kind win award just humble 2000 coins if Wild are on an active payline. This Cup symbol also replaces other symbols to complete wins but can’t multiply that winning value. Scatter awards cash prize up to 100 times of total bet and at least 3 of them are required for the free spins to be activated when 5-25 extra games are given with x2-x10 multiplier. There’s nothing else what is worth-mentioning regarding the game features as that’s all the game has but after a win the player has an option to use a gambling feature and I like that mini paytable can be recalled just by clicking on a symbol on the reels and then it reveals all the important paying information that attached to it. It’s really a convenient and useful function.

Back to my introductory session, I can’t tell all went smoothly or had a great run because nothing happened that would have proved a right choose have been made. I tried to vary my bets and even decreased the number of active lines but nothing seemed to work, so I had to change my original plan and switched to another game.

I think what I feel a little bit overdone in visualization it’s missing in game features. In my opinion it’s just an ordinary Microgaming product with nothing special qualities (but I have to mention here too the great, competitive environment what the appearance creates) to offer but for some reasons I still think even if I went nowhere with this game this time I will return to it in the future and hope that time I won’t be just a spectator of the race much rather be a member of the winner team.

My country is one of the host in a few international world cycling events too, so news on cycling events cannot be avoided. When it comes to cycling games, such as this Pedal Power game, they don't attracted me either, and I would only play it once, just to try it out. Don't want to be totally left out though.

The Trophy is the Wild symbol, 5 of which pays 2000x the line bet, which is much lower than the usual 5000x. It is another dumb Wild symbol, that do only substitution of other symbols except for the Scatter symbol, and absolutely nothing else. No doubling of wins, no stacking and no expanding. The Wristwatch is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays the usual 100x the total bet amount. Getting 3, 4 or 5 of these Scatters trigger a Free Spins game, with a choice of 3 different play modes - 5 free spins with a 10x multiplier, 10 free spins with a 5x multiplier or 25 free spins with a 2x multiplier. The choice is yours. The other symbols in the game pay from 1500x down to 100x the line bet for 5 of each kind. A low paytable.

Being an old game, there aren't any other features in Pedal Power. The Free Spins game, with its 3 different choices, do look interesting enough, especially those free spins with a 10x and a 5x multiplier. In fact, 25 free spins with a 2x multiplier is a little bit more than the usual of 20 free spins. Which mode can pay more cannot be ascertained, but the 10x multiplier does offer a good opportunity for a big win at the right time.
