Slot Features
Rocky himself is the Wild symbol and it can substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter, the Bonus and ROCKY letters. Wild can form winning combos on its own and when it substitutes in a win.
Scatter symbol will start Free Games feature if you land 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels. Once triggered, you can win 15, 20 or 25 spins depending on the number of triggering symbols. To boot, all wins during this feature will be multiplied by x2.
Knockout Bonus
If you manage to land the White Boxing Glove symbol on reel 1, and Red Boxing Glove on reel 5 you will trigger the Knockout Bonus round. Once triggered, you will choose Rocky’s opponent: Apollo, Ivan Drago or Clubber. Once you choose the opponent the 10-round match will start. For every round Rocky wins, you get a cash prize. All matches end with a Knockout in Rocky’s favor. If knockout occurs before round 10, all following rounds are considered to be won by Rocky.

Spell R-O-C-K-Y on the reels from the leftmost reel to the right on consecutive reels, in that order, and you will win x5 your total bet. This feature is available both during the base game and the Free Spins feature.
Gamble

Summary
Stunning graphics, authentic audio effects and 95% RTP rate make this slot interesting to play, especially if you are a fan of the movie. To boot, generous features can greatly boost your bankroll. So help Rocky fight his opponents and scoop some decent prizes along the way.
I loved the Rocky movies as a kid (although let's be honest they probably did drag the franchise out a little too long!) so I was fairly hyped to give this game a try. It might not be a typical "girly" game but I never subscribed to those kinds of stereotypes anyway and I can't really think of more than a handful of my favourite slots that are "girly"!
There are lots of great win possibilities in Rocky, most notably the huge 10,000 coin payoff for a five of a kind of the top wild symbol. Lot's of Playtech games have this same big number attached to a five of a kind of wilds though so although it's nice to see it here it isn't really something that could convince me to choose this game over any other in the Playtech library.
A nice touch is that spelling out ROCKY anywhere on the reels from left to right awards a small bonus of 5x bet, which isn't much but it does happen a few times per session in my experience and I don't ever recall another game paying out for landing TJQKA in sequence, which would be effectively the same thing, so I won't complain at the extra winnings!
Like so many other Playtech games the one aspect of this game that really lets it down for me is the sound - the reel spinning sound effect is extremely annoying and had me reaching for the mute button after just a handful of spins, and annoyingly the configuration options don't allow you to disable just that one effect whilst keeping the speeches and scatter sounds active. They didn't even add any background music as an alternative during the base game, so this is one game your almost sure to end up playing in silence.
I also wish the bonus features paid a little better - the boxing bonus stage has disappointed me almost every time, infact 100x your stake seems to be an amazing result from this ten round bout, and the free spins have a measly 2x multiplier which is definitely on the low side for a Playtech slot.
Sadly it seems Rocky is no longer the undisputed champion, at least when it comes to slot machines - it's not an awful game but this is one license that could have been used much better.
