Silent Run

In a Nutshell

Silent Run slot by NetEnt will excite anyone who’s into WWII war films, submarines and generally any kind of battle at sea.

Simpler minds (much like this reviewer here) will appreciate the sublime joy of blowing up ships by firing torpedoes at them in the bonus game mode. If not revolutionary, the graphics of the game are nicely rendered, the game runs very smoothly.

A Closer Look

The general looks of the Silent Run slot machine bring up the creepy appeal of historic submarines. The design of symbols as well as the ship and other war supplies illustrated follow the line of a WWII war film. The five higher-counting symbols come as a submarine, a battleship, torpedoes, mines and depth charges, the lower-counting ones sport letters A, K, Q and J as well as the number 10.

The wild symbol looks like a red warning light. It substitutes all other symbols except the Echo Bonus symbol. There’s also a so-called Sonar Wild, which looks like a radar screen with a red backlight - don’t confuse it with the Echo Bonus symbol, which looks very similar, but is green. The Sonar Wild’s got a pretty neat effect that comes with it: It sends out a sonar pulse to reveal other wilds hidden away across the reels and columns.

Silent Run video slot machine has  5 reels, 3 lines and 25 paylines. It comes with NetEnt’s standard control panel, which means that you can adjust both the coin value (starting at 0.25) and the bet level. Also, the button in the middle starts and stops the spins.

Bonus Features

There are no free spins as such in the Silent Run slot. Instead of a scatter symbol, there’s the green sonar screen symbol, which sends out a pulse to discover torpedoes hidden on the reels.

You’re then taken to the Echo Bonus game, where you get to shoot torpedoes at distant battleships and blow them up. How much you score depends on how many torpedoes the Echo Bonus symbol’s pulse revealed. Every torpedo adds a multiplier to the points you get for hitting a ship. Good fun!
