Top Trumps Celebs is a new slot game recently released by Playtech, a leading online gaming software developer. This game is slightly different than other slot games in that it is played with cards featuring sport and entertainment celebrities. Playtech previously released two other versions that were based on soccer, released in time for the 2010 World Cup.
Celebrity Symbols
The symbols in the game consist of high value cards and celebrities. Players are given the option of selecting which celebrities they would like to see on the reels. The wild symbol is represented by the most famous celebrities on the list with the default being Elvis. Other options include, James Dean, Brad Pitt and Madonna. This icon awards a maximum of 10,000 coins if hit.
Selectable celebrities that act as regular symbols include, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Leonardo Di Caprio, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Liz Hurley and Beyonce. The icons feature high resolution photographs for the celebrity ensuring all players will be able to view their Hollywood favorites.
A Lack of Animation
One downside to this game is the entire lack of animation. Playtech assumed that the large number of celebrity photographs on the screen is enough to keep the adrenaline pumping. The red carpet is the bonus symbol which is triggered when the icon appears on the first and last reels.

In the bonus game, sixteen celebrities appear on the red carpet and the player must select three celebrities who will uncover the associated cash prizes. At random, any celebrity could unveil the Extra Pick with an associated cash prize which allows the player to select an additional choice.
The Free Spins Round
Top Trumps Celebs also boasts a free spins round which is activated by hitting three Top Trumps symbols on any of the reels. The Red Carpet bonus game cannot be triggered but the free spins round can be reactivated an unlimited number of times. Furthermore, the game has the Playtech Gamble feature which allows players to stake their winnings in a double or nothing game. The player must select the color of the next card to win.
Top Trumps Celebs is currently available at all Playtech-powered online casinos. This new slot game is innovative and fun. However, the lack of animation leaves something missing. Stop by one of many Playtech casinos to participate.
