Founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harley-Davidson has grown to become one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the world. The brand may be best known for just how loyal and devoted its customer base has remained over the course of more than a century, with museums, special events, and owner clubs proliferating throughout the world.
With such a built-in community of fans, it’s only natural that these motorcycles should serve as the basis for casino slot machines. Harley Davidson by IGT takes some of the most classic designs from the bike manufacturer and throws them into a hard rock game that has a look and feel taken right from the aesthetics of the motorcycles themselves. With a three-tiered jackpot system that can be triggered at any time, this is a game that has all the style and power of a Harley-made cruiser.
Classic Choppers
The Harley Davidson video slot is a real money game that can be found exclusively in live casinos. The company’s logo appears right at the top of the tall cabinet, and the entire machine is decked out in chrome and steal coloring, making it difficult to miss this one if you walk by it. As there isn’t an online casino version yet, you can’t play for free on this machine; however, these are usually set as penny slots, allowing low limit players to get plenty of enjoyment from this game.
The base gameplay takes place on a standard 5x3 layout that includes five reels and 30 paylines. The object of the game, naturally, is to match identical symbols from left to right across each payline. For smaller wins, gamblers can match the always popular card ranks, such as tens, jacks, queens, and so on. Several different classical styles of Harleys make up the high-paying symbols, with each one being distinctive enough (with help from differently drawn backgrounds and a good variety of colors) to know right away if you’ve made a match, even if you don’t know much about these bikes. Hit a stack that covers all three, and you’ll get to enjoy a larger version of the motorcycle instead.

Hitting the Road
There are several bonus features and special symbols that players can watch out for on the reels. Of course, there are the customary wild symbols, which can be used as a substitute to complete winning paylines. In addition, there is a bonus icon: hit three of them, and you’ll trigger the Roadhouse Rally feature. If you hit a stack of one motorcycle symbol on the first reel, you might get the Shifting Stacks feature. This is a nice surprise that can result in a partial stack elsewhere on the screen shifting to cover the entire reel instead.
But the most exciting bonus game is the Classic Tank Bonus. In this feature – triggered at random – players pick from a variety of historical Harley tanks, each one offering an instant coins prize. However, they each also give the player a spin on the wheel that appears on the top screen. This spin can either provide an icon that will belong to one of the three progressive jackpots, or towards a 2x multiplier on your winnings during this feature. The multiplier or the Leather Jackpot only require two hits to win, while the larger Steel and Chrome Jackpots require three. Once you hit any of these rewards, your winnings are totaled and the round ends. The Chrome Jackpot is the best prize here, offering up more than $5,000 to lucky players who hit it.

Ripping It Up
The Harley Davidson video slot is hardly the most complex game that we’ve seen in casinos, and compared to many recent releases, the basic gameplay is pretty simple. However, it still has enough action to appeal to both bikers and gamblers alike. Just about everyone will appreciate the inclusion of a progressive jackpot system, especially when you consider that it virtually always guarantees a fairly large payout, while the inclusion of so many old-school bikes as symbols on the reels help to make this something of a nostalgic slot as well. It won’t be the ride of your life, but this is a solid addition to any casino floor.

Introduction
Harley Davidson slots are what are known in the industry as 'variable-state' games. That means the expected return on any given spin is variable, depending on value previous players have banked into the game or taken out. To be specific, there is a free spin bonus, where there are incrementing meters for the number of free spins. If the meters are high enough, the game offers an expected return over 100%.

A good and easy advantage play is to prowl slot machines for Harley Davidsons and similar games, looking for machines abandoned in a positive state. After finding one, swoop in like a vulture and play it until you reap the value, leaving the machine in a negative state for the next player.
Rules
The rules for Harley Davidson are rather complicated and vague. It is beyond the scope of this page to explain them all. There are three ways the player can win, as follows. The approximate return percentage of each feature is shown in parenthesis.
- Line pays (73.5%)
- Wheel bonus (6.7%)
- Free spin bonuses (5.7% on average)
I won't get into the line pays and wheel spin bonus because the return from the sum of the two is constant. What the skilled player should focus on are the free spin bonuses.
There are scatter symbols on reels 1 and 3. On reel 5 are bonus symbols. The game has a 'symbol replacement' feature, where special symbols, namely the wild, scatter, and bonus symbols, randomly replace other line pay symbols. The more the player bets, the more scatters and bonus symbols will appear.
There are four types of bonus symbols:
- Wheel bonus
- Mega RPM free games
- Maxi RPM free games
- Mini RPM free games
If the player gets 0 or 1 scatter and any of the free games bonus symbols, then one additional free game shall be added to the meter of the specific free game bonus symbol. For example, if the Maxi free spin bonus has 20 free spins in the meter and the next spin results in a Maxi free spin symbol on reel 5 (with less than two scatters on reels 1 and 3), then the Maxi free spin meter shall be incremented by one, to 21.
The three free spin banks are different for every number of credits the player may bet, so check all if them if checking machines for positive value.
If the player gets a scatter on reels 1 and 3 as well as any bonus symbol on reel 5, then the player shall play the bonus associated with the bonus symbol on reel 5.
The Mini free spin bonus meter shall reset after a bonus at 7 free spins. All free spins in the Mini free spin bonus have a 1x multiplier. Likewise, the Maxi free spin bonus resets at 8 free spins and has a 2x multiplier. Finally, the Mega free spin bonus resets at 10 free spins and has a 3x multiplier.

Free spins use separate reel stripping, with no scatters or bonus symbols. I believe the expected return of a free spin, before applying any multiplier, to be 81% to 85% of the initiating bet.
There are more Mini free spin bonus symbols than Maxis and more Maxis than Megas. Thus, the Mini will be hit the most frequently and the Mega the least.
The machine pictured in this article from the Four Queens in Las Vegas had a maximum wheel win of $10,000. Some other Harley Davidson machines have a progressive jackpot slice on the wheel. If that is the case, the expected value at any given time will also be a function of that progressive. How specifically the jackpot amount affects the value, I'm afraid I don't know.
Strategy
The big question is what is the expected return of the game according to the number of free spins in the three free spin meters. Let Mini, Maxi, and Mega be the number of free spins in each meter. Here is my answer to that question:
Return = 0.8018 + 0.003858×Mini + 0.002518×Maxi + 0.000948× Mega.
Let's take a look at the image above, as an example. It shows Mini = 23, Maxi = 30, and Mega = 97. Thus the return is 0.8018 + 0.003858×23 + 0.002518×30 + 0.000948×97 = 1.05803. In other words, the game has a 5.8% player advantage on the next spin. The value is certainly more, because the player can keep playing it in the positive state until it is no longer positive.
Another formula that works to estimate the expected value at any given state is:
Expected value = 80.18% + Mini/259 + Maxi/397 + Mega/1055.
For example, in the picture above, the return would be 80.18% + 23/259 + 30/397 + 97/1055 = 105.8%.
