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.
The 200 Spins Rocco Gallo Slot Experience
After 📉 some near-miss teasers here and there in a lengthy base game session, we finally trigger the Instant Prize Bonus around 📉 3 minutes into the 5:34-minute highlights video. 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.
Pros Wild 📉 symbol pays 50x your stake for 5-oak
Streak Respins w/ up to 10x cash and x2 multipliers
Fun animations and rooster vs 📉 fox antics
Win up to 10,000x (1 in 66,666,667 chance) Cons Large cash pot stolen (or not won) is frustrating
Beware of 📉 adjustable RTP ranges
