Aristocrat has announced the European release of its Hit The Heights Bonus Bank games.

Available with a choice of two 25-line, ante bet base games, this GEN7 game breaks the standalone Viridian mould with an “eye-catching” six-level, back-lit, firecracker wedge and a Hit The Heights topper, which combine to create a height of nearly 3m.

Both base games, Wish Big! and Jungle Beat, incorporate a free games bonus wheel feature prominently displayed on the top LCD screen and attainable irrespective of whether a bonus bet has been placed.

In order to play maximum lines and launch “even more explosive thrills,” players must wager a 10-credit ante bet, in so doing making a play for the randomly awarded Hit The Heights wheel bonus. Hitting this feature lights the fuse on 10 bonus levels and bonus credits prizes, with each rotation of the fireworks wheel increasing the credit prizes and stepping up the Hit The Heights prize ladder. The higher the tower is scaled the greater the bonus prize awarded, while reaching the top sets off a host of pyrotechnic-themed bonus prizes.

Wade Hargreaves, Aristocrat Europe product marketing manager, commented: “When it comes to explosive entertainment Hit The Heights truly lives up to its name. Its skyscraping stature makes it an instant focal point, while sparkling game play and bonus features captivate all the way – especially for those players bashing the Hit The Heights bonus bet button for even bigger bangs for their buck.”
