IGT, formerly known as International Game Technology, is perhaps the largest provider of gambling games of the industry. Although its specialty is providing land-based gaming operators with gaming cabinets (and the content that goes with it), the company is also a well-known developer of some of the best online casino games. And the latest IGT online slot called Silent Movie is great even by the developer’s high standards.

If its title wouldn’t have given it away, IGT’s brand new online slot reaches back to the golden age of cinema, when there was no dialog, and the special effects were also rudimentary – the age of the silent movies. Its side games are based on classic movies of the silent cinema: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, A Trip to the Moon, A Muddy Romance, and Keystone Kops.

The game has five reels, three rows, and 30 win lines. Its reels are filled with silent movie related symbols – reels, chairs, old-style loud-hailers, cameras, and several actors from the featured movies. The Silent Movie logo acts as a Wild symbol, standing in for any other – except for the game’s numerous Scatters. Because it has scatters, and special features, for each one of the movies it features.

The “main” scatter symbol in the game is one depicting a pair of movie tickets. Two of these symbols landing on the screen in conjunction with a movie poster will trigger the appropriate bonus feature:

• the “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” Bonus starts with up to 6 win spins, with all wins multiplied by 3x (only the winning spins count)
• the “A Trip to the Moon” Bonus starts with up to 15 Free Spins, and comes with extra Wild symbols
• the “A Muddy Romance” Bonus comes with up to 12 Free Spins and extra Scatter wins
• the “Keystone Kops” Bonus comes with 10 Free Spins, multipliers up to 5x that double after five spins

When it comes to extra features, Silent Movie is one of the best online slots you can imagine. Each bonus feature comes with its own set of symbols, and extra perks. Overall, Silent Movie is an excellent slot machine, great for killing some time and gathering some credits in the process.
