It was the night that Sammy Davis Jr. Died, and Las Vegas, an outsized place where gambling halls are transformed into castles and praise swells into adoration, was awash in an effervescence of.
The setup of the reels is unlike most of the games you’ll come across. The free Dean Martin slot game has eleven reels in total, but eight of these are found in two 2×2 boxes to the left-hand side and each of these reels only shows one symbol. To the right of the two boxes you’ll find three more traditional reels, each of these six high. In total, the game has 100 win lines, with 50 lines going through the upper 2×2 box and a further 50 lines going through the lower 2×2 box.
This set up makes for a high variance game, as matching symbols on the first two ‘reels’ keeps a large number of win lines active, while non-matching symbols on these two reels shuts down the action immediately. This can mean that when the wins come along they can come along big, but you might have to wait a little longer than usual.
The symbols on the reels include Dean Martin himself (lounging in a deckchair), the blonde waitress serving Dean a drink, a brunette lady lounging by the pool and a redhead drinking through a straw. You’ll also find a rubber duck, a pair of sunglasses and a bottle of drink with two glasses, which are joined by the traditional playing card filler symbols.
Throughout the game, the symbols can be stacked on the rightmost reels, which only add to the high variance nature of the game. These stacked symbols can be six high and fill the entire reels.
The title symbol acts as the wild and will substitute for every other symbol apart from the bonus one. This wild can appear on all eleven of the reels and being stacked on the rightmost reels, it is possible that the wild could cover the entire slot, which would make for a nice pay day.
Two Ways to Trigger the Dean Martin’s Pool Party Bonus Feature
The bonus feature in the game is a free spins bonus round, which is nothing new, but the fact that you have two ways to activate it is original. The first way you’ll enter the free spins round is to land the beach ball bonus symbol three times or more across any of the reels. This is a standard feature, but the other free spins feature is the much more exciting one.
You’ll activate this other feature if the same symbol appears on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4 or reels 5, 6, 7 and 8. If this happens you’ll land five free spins, but the four reels will now show just one larger symbol, giving you the opportunity of a very big win, as all the win lines are still active through to the right-hand reels. If you’re after a huge win, this will give you the best opportunities for that mega pay out.

Sammy Lee Davis (born November 1, 1946) is an American who served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and was awarded the nation's highest military medal for valor, the Medal of Honor.
Early years[edit]
Born in Dayton, Ohio, on November 1, 1946, Davis was raised in French Camp, California.[3][4] His family had a long tradition of military service; his grandfather served in the Spanish–American War, his father Robert Davis was in World War II, and his brothers Hubert ('Buddy') and Darrell Davis served in Korea and Vietnam, respectively. Davis attended Manteca High School in Manteca, California, where he was a member of the football and diving teams. He also participated in Sea Scouting in Stockton. After his junior year of high school, Davis' family moved to Indiana.[3][5] He graduated from Mooresville High School in 1966.[6]
Military career[edit]
Davis enlisted in the United States Army from Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1965.
In March 1967, Davis was sent to South Vietnam as a private first class, and was assigned to Battery C, 2nd Battalion, 4th Artillery Regiment, 9th Infantry Division.[5][4]On November 18, 1967, his unit at Firebase Cudgel (10°25′11″N105°59′28″E / 10.4198°N 105.991°E)[7] west of Cai Lay, fell under machine gun fire and heavy mortar attack by an estimated three companies of Viet Cong from the 261st Viet Cong Main Force Battalion,[7] which swarmed the area from the south and then west.[5][7] Upon detecting an enemy position, Davis manned a machine gun to give his comrades covering fire so they could fire artillery in response. Davis was wounded, but ignored warnings to take cover, taking over the unit's burning howitzer and firing several shells himself. He also disregarded his inability to swim due to a broken back, and crossed a river there on an air mattress to help rescue three wounded American soldiers. He ultimately found his way to another howitzer site to continue fighting the NVA attack until they fled. The battle lasted two hours.[7]
Davis was subsequently promoted to sergeant and received the Medal of Honor the following year from President Lyndon B. Johnson.[8] After he was presented the medal at the White house ceremony, Davis played 'Oh Shenandoah' on his harmonica in memory of the men he served with in Vietnam.[5][9]

Later years[edit]
In 1994, footage of his Medal of Honor award ceremony was used in the film Forrest Gump, with actor Tom Hanks' head superimposed over that of Davis.[1]
Davis tells his story in the 2002 documentary A Time For Honor.
In July 2005, while in Indianapolis, Davis' medal was stolen out of the trunk of his car. It was recovered a few days later in neighboring White River.[11]
On July 4, 2010, Davis helped celebrate the 100th birthday of the Boy Scouts of America at Arlington Park. Davis entered scouting at the age of 9.[12] He has also been honored by the Joe Foss Institute for his dedication to serving America.
Davis is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Medal of Honor citation[edit]
Rank and organization: Sergeant (then Private First Class), U.S. Army, Battery C, 2nd Battalion, 4th Artillery, 9th Infantry Division
Place and date: West of Cai Lay, Republic of Vietnam, 18 November 1967
Entered service at: Indianapolis, Indiana
Born: 1 November 1946, Dayton, Ohio
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Davis (then Pfc.) distinguished himself during the early morning hours while serving as a cannoneer with Battery C, at a remote fire support base. At approximately 0200 hours, the fire support base was under heavy enemy mortar attack. Simultaneously, an estimated reinforced Viet Cong battalion launched a fierce ground assault upon the fire support base. The attacking enemy drove to within 25 meters of the friendly positions. Only a river separated the Viet Cong from the fire support base. Detecting a nearby enemy position, Sgt. Davis seized a machine gun and provided covering fire for his guncrew, as they attempted to bring direct artillery fire on the enemy. Despite his efforts, an enemy recoilless rifle round scored a direct hit upon the artillery piece. The resultant blast hurled the guncrew from their weapon and blew Sgt. Davis into a foxhole. He struggled to his feet and returned to the howitzer, which was burning furiously. Ignoring repeated warnings to seek cover, Sgt. Davis rammed a shell into the gun. Disregarding a withering hail of enemy fire directed against his position, he aimed and fired the howitzer which rolled backward, knocking Sgt. Davis violently to the ground. Undaunted, he returned to the weapon to fire again when an enemy mortar round exploded within 20 meters of his position, injuring him painfully. Nevertheless, Sgt. Davis loaded the artillery piece, aimed and fired. Again he was knocked down by the recoil. In complete disregard for his safety, Sgt. Davis loaded and fired 3 more shells into the enemy. Disregarding his extensive injuries and his inability to swim, Sgt. Davis picked up an air mattress and struck out across the deep river to rescue 3 wounded comrades on the far side. Upon reaching the 3 wounded men, he stood upright and fired into the dense vegetation to prevent the Viet Cong from advancing. While the most seriously wounded soldier was helped across the river, Sgt. Davis protected the 2 remaining casualties until he could pull them across the river to the fire support base. Though suffering from painful wounds, he refused medical attention, joining another howitzer crew which fired at the large Viet Cong force until it broke contact and fled. Sgt. Davis' extraordinary heroism, at the risk of his life, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army.[4]
