Rocco Gallo Review

Developers churn out farm-themed slots on a fairly regular basis. However, Rocco Gallo is set in a small Italian village, which is a charming and original touch. To top it off, you get ‘Tarantella Napoletana’ as the soundtrack, which is a quintessential Italian folk song that was also featured in The Godfather. The stage is set for a showdown in other words, between Rocco Gallo the rooster and Vinnie Valpe the fox.

The base game is pretty barebones in this installment though, but you get a decently high-value wild symbol to help you out on occasions. The excitement is mostly contained in the Instant Prize Bonus Round however, where Rocco will make sure the accumulated cash prize is paid each time he appears. Vinnie the fox can steal the cash pot at any time however, which can be quite frustrating unless Rocco is there to save the day.

Rocco Gallo Slot Features

The premium hen symbols pay between 10 and 25 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Rocco the rooster Wild pays 50x your stake for the same. The wild also steps in for regular pay symbols to help complete wins, but it cannot substitute for the golden egg scatter. Outside of that, there are no bonus features in the base game.

The Instant Prize Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 Golden Egg scatters anywhere in view, and it’s a hold-and-win style feature with 3 starting spins. All golden egg symbols crack open to reveal either a cash prize or a multiplier. The random cash prizes will be either 0.5, 1, 2, 5 or 10 x your stake, while the multiplier is always x2.

You will land only golden eggs or blanks during the feature, and each new golden egg resets the spin tally to 3 again. Cash prizes are accumulated in the cash pot above the grid, while x2 multipliers are applied to the cash pot as they are revealed. You can get up to 155 respins in total, which lands you the current cash pot if you get there, and the single cash pot max win is 6,000x your stake.

You need to land the Rocco Gallo rooster to win the cash pot otherwise however, and Vinnie Volpe the fox will steal and reset the cash pot value to zero if he appears. If both characters land at the same time, Rocco kicks Volpe’s ass, and the cash pot is paid. Just to be clear, the cash pot can be paid multiple times per bonus round, but it can also not be paid at all.

You get to see cash pots being paid, as well as stolen, and we even triggered the fight between Rocco the rooster and Vinnie the fox. Check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We enjoyed the Italian countryside village charm for a while, and the soundtrack and animations helped keep the energy up in an otherwise tedious base game. The 2-scatters teaser thing happens on a regular basis, but the effect wears off pretty soon, and it becomes annoying instead of thrilling. The best you can hope for in the base game are payouts of 500x your stake (or 1,000x should you fill the screen with wilds), but in practice you’re lucky to get top-up wins.

Everything hangs on the Instant Prize Bonus Round in other words, where prizes up to 10,000x can be racked up with a decent probability of 1 in 66,666,667. It’s kind of frustrating to build up a solid cash pot only to have it stolen or simply never paid at all, due to Rocco never appearing, and you might need to put on your ‘tilt armor’ to keep sane. Rocco Gallo has its moments, but they are few and far between, and there are just too many elements of frustration for our liking.

If you appreciate Rocco Gallo Slot you should also try:

Chicken Drop - is a similarly themed farm/chicken slot from Pragmatic Play, and it comes with a 7x7 cluster pays grid. The mystery symbol egg can grow to 6x6 in size, and get up to an x10 multiplier, and the egg never resets in the bonus round. The max win is a decent 5,000x your stake.

Animal Madness - is another recent farm slot from Play’n Go, and it comes with a 5x5 cluster pays grid and cascading wins. The sunflower modifier meter is charged by each cascade, and it can help you out with 4 different modifiers. This can lead to payouts up to 2,250x your stake, which is decent for a medium volatile installment.

Nunchucks Chicken - is one to try if you like plenty of humor and antics in your farm-themed slots, and this Skywind Group release features an increasing ninja respin multiplier that keeps rising until you win. Martial arts chickens and foxes duke it out in the Shuriken Showdown bonus round, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake.
