Jaunty journey through the lives of the rich and vulpine, with Lord and Lady Fox as your hosts

Tally Ho Slot

Tally Ho Slot Review

 

Slots about the rich and famous can be a little smug and overbearing - as though we're supposed to lust after a brash world in which wealth is the only currency. However, Tally Ho slot adopts a rather more tongue-in-cheek approach. The game is hosted by Lord and Lady Fox, an amusing duo who guide us round their big mansions, classic car collection, and flourishing stud farm. The graphics aren't quite as characterful or vibrant as on the brilliant Foxin' Wins. But it's still an amusing rattle through the supposed lives of the rich and famous.

The Wilds are perhaps a little underdone, although a 2x Multiplier is activated when they make up winning combos. Only nine paylines are included, so you won't find as many striking sequences as on some more sophisticated slots. We quite like the Free Spins Round. While the ample 4x Multiplier suffices quite, the 10 free spins aren't amazing, simply for the fact that we have gotten used to playing slots that trigger twice that number. 

Tally Ho slot also lets you gamble your winnings, multiple times, increasing them two or even four-fold by guessing the correct card color, in a 50:50 game of chance, or guess the correct suit, which comes with the potential for winning better sums, but a game at which the odds become slimmer. 

Considering the overall quality of your gaming experience, it is safe to say that Foxin' Wins is a funnier take on this theme, and Tally Ho probably needs more paylines and some better features. But, we know that the game is dated, so we’ll admit that it does have a charm of its own that will attract players who are more into retro games. 

How To Play Tally Ho Slot

In order to start playing the game you will need to set up the bet size, unless you want to play with the default amount, which is stated in the third square from the left, right abve the Bet Max button. Setting up the bet requires of you to know whether you want to play with all nine paylnes active or fewer than this. You can alter the number by pushing the Select Lines button multiple times, until you reach the desired number.

To further fine-tune your bet you need to work the Select Coins button, which will change the numbers in the BET window. The coin size works in line with the Lines setting in that it sets the amount that you are going to spend per payline. So, if the game has nine active lines and a coin size of 5, on one penny per payline, the total bet will be £0.45, which is nine pennies multiplied by five coins, that is, five coin levels. 

At any rate, Tally Ho slot really lets you set up the bet the way you are comfortable playing with. Use the controls to discover how to play the bets that you prefer, and whatever amount you choose, it can be changed once the reels have stopped spinning. 

Tally Ho Slot Design

Like we said, this Microgaming game is a bit dated and that can be concluded by how it appears. Indeed, the symbols are not the most radiant out there. Come to think of it, they are mundane, and it is true that we have been spoiled by the mastery of 3D slots games that have come out in the past few years. Still, Tally Ho is all right. You will find that the game posesses some character and is not completely devoid of any fun.

The symbols that you will encounter on the reels are, supposedly, the stuff that preoccupies the lives of the old moneyed wealthy. So the designers have gotten the idea that they should include a cheesecake, a pie of cheese and crackers, some kind of muffin possibly layer with caviar, club sandwich, a bowl of cream and strawberries, a tea set, a coat of arms featuring two unicorns, an expensive old-timer, a mansion, and two symbols featuring the foxes which are the owners of all this wealth. 

The two specialty symbols are the Wild Horse which doubles the winnings, and the Scatter symbol in the shape of a trumpet, which brings on ten free spins. 

How To Win Tally Ho Slots

Besides the scatter, which can deliver the free spins when landing the trumpet symbol in three, four or five instances, you will also get a quadrupling of your winnings during the bonus feature. 

The Wild symbol represented by the Wild Horse, pays an amazing 6000 coins for a winning combination of five instances. What is more, when the Wild becomes the maker of a winning combination of other symbols - which is any other besides the scatter - the winnings are doubled. 

To try your luck on this old - and possibly - gold, slot game, you can start by claiming one of the welcome bonuses at the casinos, right on this page.
