Highlander is a classic film, there is no disputing that Highlander has earnt its place as a significant piece of art in film history with a strong cult following. If you are not familiar with the Highland story let me give you a brief synopsis. Christopher Lambert plays the leading character, a man named Connor Macleod. Connor was born in the Highlands of Scotland (hence the name Highlander) way back in 1518 although the film is set in the 1980's . So how is Connor still alive? Well he is not just incredibly old he is in fact immortal. There are other immortal beings like Connor who all descend from the same clan but instead of sticking together they have fought for centuries to try and kill one another in order to achieve the status of the last remaining immortal. The last man standing would yield tremendous power which would be dangerous in the hands of Connor's arch immortal rival. The only way for one immortal to kill another is via decapitation, the film revolves around the two immortals attempting to seek each other out to battle for the final prize.
Whether you are already a fan of the film or not the fact that they have now made a slots game based on the movie is still an exciting prospect. If even half of the thrills, anticipation and excitement that the film features is in the slots game then you are in for a epic adventure. Highlander slots has five reels and twenty paylines. The symbols you can expect to play with include the Highlander himself, his arch nemesis the Kurgan, the other Immortals, their crossed swords and the highlanders lost love Heather.
When you are playing this slots game you actually undertake the role of the Highlander so like the premise of the film you aim to battle Kurgan and become the last immortal. However the added bonus of the slots game is winning money! The game actually features clips from the film so the whole game is beautifully atmospheric. During play, the wild symbol is the stag so the stag can substitute for all symbols except the scatter. There are three bonus rounds in this game, Battle the Kurgan, the free spins bonus round and the sword skill bonus round. Battle the Kurgan is activated when three or more Battle Bonus scatter symbols appear on active paylines. You must then spring into action as the Highlander to select battle moves in order to defeat Kurgan as you try and move up the prize bar to reach $3000. However, wrong moves can deplete your energy levels with successful moves increasing them again. Be careful not to get three levels depleted consecutively or you are out of the game. The free spins bonus game is activated when three or more scatter free symbols appear on active paylines. You will then be given 15 free spins which can be retriggered. The final sword skills bonus will be activated when you land at least three sword skill bonus symbols which then switch to tartan tiles. You can then click each tile to receive your prize which will be added to the rest of your winnings! I hope you have as much fun playing Highland Slots as I did and remember there can only be one!
