The slot machine dedicated to this unique character is a game with excellent graphics where there are even some scenes from the film, which can be viewed as a result of a winning combination. This game, produced by iSoftBet, offers 720 different ways to win always active; to win, you just need to score a minimum of 3 identical symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the first roller on the left. In addition to the numeral symbols, there are narrative icons, as the jeep, the snake, the ax and bullets, as well as three special symbols, namely Wild, Scatter and Progressive. The Wild symbol of the slot machine Rambo will replace all regular symbols, the Scatters pay anywhere on the reels and are useful to activate the Free Spins while the Progressive symbols, or the hand grenade, allow you to win one of four progressive jackpots up for grabs. The free spins mode consists of a number of free spins from 5 to 15, depending on the number of scatters on the reels in the spin that triggered the mode, in which a regular symbol is randomly chosen to become expandable for all the free spins. The four progressive jackpots are the Stealth, the Bravery, the Honour and finally the Explosive. The first will be won with 5 Progressive symbols, the second with 6, the third with 7, and finally with the fourth one with 8. The Rambo slot machine is action-packed with great animations to make it look a lot like the movies and given the iconic iSoftBet screen, the rollers always generate winning combinations on the 720 ways always active.

Rambo Online Slot Coming Soon From PartyCasino.com
John Rambo is a fictional former Green Beret created by David Morrell in his novel, 1972's First Blood. Morrell's character and ideas were used in the 1980s and 2000s as the basis for a series of popular action films starring Sylvester Stallone, as well the media franchise that spun off from the films due to their popularity.
The films featuring the character are: First Blood (1982), Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988), Rambo (2008), and Rambo V (announced for 2009). The films focus on a troubled Vietnam War veteran and Green Beret, John James Rambo, who is skilled in many aspects of survival, weaponry, hand to hand combat and guerrilla warfare.
David Morrell says that in choosing the name Rambo he was inspired by 'the sound of force' in the name of rambo apples which he encountered in Pennsylvania, and he felt that its pronunciation was similar to the surname of Arthur Rimbaud, the title of whose most famous work A Season in Hell, seemed to him 'an apt metaphor for the prisoner-of-war experiences that I imagined Rambo suffering.'
In popular culture, the name has become an eponym for a tactic of military aggression or, alternatively, a person demonstrating great heroism through extreme violence and skill, especially when outnumbered. However, the term can also be used somewhat derogatorily to describe someone who thoughtlessly charges into a fight with no regard for personal safety or careful planning. This term is referred to as 'Going Rambo' or 'doing it Rambo style.' The name is also used in a more figurative sense to describe any action or approach which is deemed to be aggressive.
Character (John James Rambo)
Fictional biography
The fictional character of John Rambo was born on June 7, 1947 in Dewey, Arizona to a Native American Navajo father (R. Rambo according to the last film) and a mother (Marie Dragoo of Italian descent. However, in Rambo: First Blood Part II, Marshall Murdock states that Rambo is of Indian/German descent.) Rambo graduated from Rangeford High School, and then was drafted into the United States Army at the age of 17 on June 8, 1964. He was deployed to South Vietnam in September 1966. He returned to the U.S. in 1967 and began training in the Special Forces (Green Berets) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. At some point he also receives training in flying helicopters. In late 1969, Rambo was re-deployed to Vietnam. In November 1971, he was captured by North Vietnamese forces near the Chinese-Vietnamese border and held at a POW camp, where he and other American POWs were repeatedly tortured. Rambo escaped captivity in May 1972, but was then re-deployed.
Upon his return to the U.S., Rambo discovered that many American civilians hated the returning soldiers, and he himself was subject to humiliation and embarrassment by having anti-war hippies throw garbage at him and calling him 'baby killer'. His experiences in Vietnam and back home resulted in an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, inner questions of self identity and reflectiveness cause Rambo to lash out at society rather than handling difficult situations in a 'civilized' manner. This is where First Blood picks up from.
Animated series
Rambo and the Forces of Freedom was an animated series that ran in 1986. 65 episodes were aired.
Comic books
In the late 80s, Blackthorne Publishing published a few comics starring the character. One, titled Rambo III, adapted the movie of the same name. Also, there was a comic simply titled Rambo featuring other adventures of the character. Rambo III was also published in a 3D version by Blackthorne.

Music
The original scores for the first three films were composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith. The music from the second film was performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra and the music from the third by the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra. Goldsmith's main theme for Rambo was the basis for the end title song 'It's A Long Road,' performed by Dan Hill, part of the First Blood soundtrack.
The music for the first film is harsher and more dissonant than that for the sequels, as is keeping with the tone of the film. As such, it bears more of a resemblance to Goldsmith's output of the 1960s and 1970s than it does most of his work in the 1980s. The first film's score does use electronics but is primarily orchestral while the sequel scores incorporate heavier use of electronics. The second film's score is the most popular, being that it is the most exciting. The music in the third film is an extension of the style used in the second, but with a few new themes. Both sequels feature new themes for Rambo that are based on elements found in the original 'It's a Long Road' theme, which is also heard in its original form in each film as well.
Jerry Goldsmith on Rambo
Since Goldsmith died in 2004, film composer Brian Tyler (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, War, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem) scored the fourth film. He reassured fans at the time of Goldsmith's death that his score would be based on Goldsmith's cues for the first three First Blood/Rambo pictures.
The 2008 film, Rambo, was advertised with Drowning Pool's 'Bodies' and features two songs in the film written and performed by Jake La Botz, who portrays the mercenary 'Reese' in the movie.
