Harley Davidson Freedom Tour: Demo
Wonder where Joe's 'cool' ideas for slot machine games originated? Consider the fact that while with Sega he is credited with having designed no less than 75 popular coin-operated games, including Harley-Davidson, The X-Files, Star Wars, Michael Jordan, Jurassic Park, Playboy, Titanic, Batman, Baywatch, and South Park. Harley Davidson: Freedom Tour has been offered by IGT and as you can guess it’s directly inspired by one of the iconic brands of the motorcycle industry, by Harley Davidson. Many generations have grown up dreaming about riding one of their bikes, and the slot machine relies on that, showing off on its reels a number of machines from them.
WHERE TO PLAY Harley Davidson Freedom Tour SLOT
Calling petrol heads – rev up you engine and enjoy the thrill of the open road in Harley-Davidson Freedom Tour, a 5 reel, 30 payline video slot powered by IGT. Take to the roads of Europe and unlock levels to win free spins, bonus wheels, pick’em prizes, multipliers and other goodies. Play from between 50p and £50 per spin.
Visually, Harley-Davidson Freedom Tour is an impressive affair – the reels are set against an open highway and include a selection of biker related paraphernalia. You’ll see keys, helmets and a collection of impressive looking motorcycles. The most lucrative symbol is the famous Harley Davidson badge. Land 5 of these in combination for a payout of 50 times your bet.
Spicing up the base game action is the Rumbling Wilds Mystery feature – this can hit at random and transform up to 4 symbols into wilds. A new payout is then made with the new wilds in place.
The Bonus symbol is central to most of the action on Harley-Davidson Freedom Tour – every time 1 lands (but doesn’t trigger the features), you’ll progress along the road map. When you reach a certain destination on the map, a feature is unlocked. To trigger a feature, you need to land 3 Bonus symbols on the same spin. You’ll trigger the Road to Riches Bonus feature and spin the Bonus wheel to win a cash prize or an unlocked feature. Those features are as follows:
- Free Ride Free Spins feature – 3 free spins are awarded here. 1 symbol is chosen at random on each free spin. Each instance of that symbol will become wild. 3 extra wild symbols will be in play on the final free spin.
- Expanded Top Award feature – when you come to spin the bonus wheel, the segment offering the top prize is expanded, trebling your chances of winning it.
- Showroom Bonus feature – a bike showroom forms the backdrop for this pick’em round. Choose from the Harley boxes to reveal cash prizes, cash plus pick again or multiplier plus pick again symbols. You can get up to 10 picks here with multipliers reaching up to 5x.
- RPM Multiplier Slice feature – rev the bike’s engine to reveal a multiplier of between 2x and 5x which will be applied to whatever you win when you spin the bonus wheel.
- Custom Shop Bonus feature – here you’ll be shown a selection of lug-nuts, behind which are hidden bike logos. Fill the meter with matching logos and you’ll win the associated prize. Find a 2x multiplier while you pick and the overall prize is doubled to up to 400 times your stake.
- Bonus Trigger Boost feature – your chances of landing the bonus are much improved. You can land it by landing a single bonus symbol on reels 3 or 5.
How far you get on your journey is saved each time you play so you won’t have to go back to the start when you begin a new session – it’s a Level Up Plus video slot like Cleopatra Plus.
The theme may be wild biking but the volatility here isn’t quite so adrenaline fuelled. The variance here is in the low to medium range. That might not appeal to massive action hounds but for everyone else it means plenty of play for your money.
As you’d expect from a high-profile collaboration between Harley-Davidson and IGT, the design here is very high-end. Visually, it’s very well put together. The range of features impresses too, offering plenty of variety. If you’re a grease monkey and fancy a virtual road trip then the Harley-Davidson Freedom Tour is a ride you won’t want to miss.

What's wrong with my math... 0.8018+0.0874+0.075+0.097= 1.0612?
I rounded my factors the wrong way in my original post, which seems to account for the disparity.
As to the question on betting levels, I'll have to look into that.

Some places you can find 40/80/120/160/200 credit bet levels. More common is 80/160/240/320/400. Each bet has a different bank of free spins. To the extent that lower bet levels get more play, it's more common to find value at lower bets.
Axel is right that this is a hard game. It's not an in and out play like golden Egypt or ocean magic. Playing for these free spins is more like grinding out a must-hit progressive. It can take a long time and leave you significantly underwater despite the advantage you theoretically had.
One minor issue from the woo page - the wheel bonus's return is only constant in places with a fixed jackpot value. More commonly, the jackpot is variable and the wheel bonus's return fluctuates very slightly as the jackpot value changes.
I'm glad the wiz waited a while to post this, though I'd obviously prefer he never did.
I echo axles warning to err on the side of caution with this machine. It can be really nasty.
these harley slots are dying.
all of them have been removed from the casinos near me
Is that base the same on all cabinets or are there different settings available?
one type of cabinet has a fixed $10k jackpot for the top prize.another has a progressive top prize.
no clue how this affects the return #s in the Wiz's OP
So that's something to be aware of. If you are vulturing a machine and doing well, and then all of the sudden you start to run horribly, it might not just be variance.
