No real money, but still real fun
Like Janet Van Dyne or Ray Palmer, Zynga has been shrinking furiously as of late. But amid office closings and layoffs, the company did snag Spooky Cool Labs during the summer. Even as Zynga has backed away from pursuing real money gaming, its new acquisition has been working on Hit It Rich! Casino Slots for Facebook. So naturally, the result is an online slots experience good enough that people would probably play it for real money. Ironic, no?
Hit It Rich! gives you the ability to play a variety of five-reel slots in one place, right away, with no unlocking required. The themes are a nice mix of licensed slots like “Beetle Bailey” and “Blondie,” and generic games like “What’s Cookin’?” and “Splendor of Rome.” The only issue is figuring out exactly how many choices you have, as the game’s main lobby doesn’t serve up the whole selection in an organized fashion.
The games vary by bet size and number of lines, but they have some common features too. Bonus rounds are activated by finding three “Bonus” symbols on valid lines, launching either a single bonus game or giving the player the chance to choose randomly between multiple options. Big wins can be posted directly to Facebook, and a special challenge feature can land you some extra coins if you outscore friends in specific bonus games.
Every coin wagered adds experience points to a bar at the top of the screen, advancing you to the next level when you fill it up. Gaining a level gets you some bonus coins and unlocks new max bets on all machines. Perhaps most intriguingly, leveling up earns you points in the game’s High Roller loyalty program, which can eventually lead to perks like bonuses on coin purchases (as you can buy more coins with real money), exclusive content, enhanced customer service, and reduced time between free bonus coins. It’s got five tiers ranging from Pewter to Platinum, and feels like a great approximation of a physical casino player’s card program – though sadly, there are no free adult beverages involved.

However you choose to chase down High Roller status, you’re going to be enjoying some excellent production values. The graphics on all machines are top notch, especially when expanded to the full screen view. The music and sound rate highly too, save for the repetitive lobby music. But the crown jewel is the “Oz – Over the Rainbow” game, which incorporates dialogue clips, music, and even short video clips that lead into the bonus rounds. It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise since Spooky Cool has previous experience with Oz games, but the developers really hit a home run with this particular slot machine. That gives me high hopes that “The Terminator” will be equally impressive when it becomes the next theme added to the mix.
Maybe it will arrive alongside the additional gameplay modes and features that are all listed as “Coming Soon.” Tournament play, a high limit lobby, and achievements all sound great, and lots of other slot games have them. Hit It Rich! feels a tad incomplete without them, and while you can add friends in order to exchange gifts, it would be more of the social slots experience it claims to be if there were more ways to actually be social.
That’s an issue that is easily fixable with future updates though, and shouldn’t detract from the fact that Zynga and Spooky Cool Labs have built themselves a fun slots game that’s easy to lose yourself in for a spin or two. Hit It Rich! Casino Slots will probably never be played with real money at stake, but it could make its creators a bit of real money, and to Zynga, that’s going to be a welcome turn of events.

Hit It Rich! is a social network casino game developed by Zynga and available on Facebook. Hit it Rich is a freemium game, meaning that it is free to play, but players have the option of purchasing extra features.
An iOS version of Hit it Rich was released and an additional version was launched on Google Play for Android devices.[citation needed] Players are able to carry progress from the web version of the game to mobile. The game is part of the larger Zynga Casino franchise, which was revealed in an October 2011 event called “Unleashed.” It was developed by Spooky Cool Labs, which Zynga acquired in June 2013, for the purpose of creating social casino games.
In February 2014, Hit it Rich was the most downloaded free game on the iPad's 'casino' category.[1]
Features and gameplay[edit]
During the game, players experience a unique type of entertainment that blends the look and feel of Vegas-style video slot machines with commercial themes such as The Wizard of Oz, The Terminator, and others, including other Zynga products such as Farmville 2.
The game features numerous five-reel slots that vary by bet size and the number of betting lines available. Bonus rounds are activated when three “Bonus” symbols appear on valid lines, and extra coins are earned for outscoring friends.As the game progresses, new levels are unlocked, with higher max bets. At the same time, players earn points in the game’s loyalty program. Every bet adds experience points to a bar located at the top of the screen. Once the bar is filled, the player advances to the next level. There are five levels ranging from Tin to Platinum. Tournament play, achievements lists, and a high-limit lobby add to the social experience. As with other Zynga games on Facebook, friends help one another achieve goals.
Hit it Rich is available in seven languages including: Dutch, English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish.[2]
