Widely considered to be one of the most innovative online casino games ever, Reel Rush is also one of most compelling slots you’ll ever play, with 3125 ways to win presenting a sweet opportunity to reel in thousands of coins.
Check your sugar levels! With Re-Spins activated as soon as you form a winning combination and Free Spins opening up the paylines for even bigger wins, Reel Rush is a winning formula for endless fast-paced entertainment.
With Reel Rush, online casino solutions techno-wizards NetEnt have come up with a unique set-up that puts this game in a different league to other video slots. Against a backdrop reminiscent of Princess Bubblegum’s realm of Candy Land from Adventure Time, with sweet, edible fungus and trees, the format is 5 reels, 5 rows, but the game opens with an unusual geometric configuration of symbols, with 1 symbol on reel 1, 3 on reel 2, 5 on reel 3, 3 on reel 4 and 1 on reel 5, for a total of 45 payline combinations. The rest of the spaces are occupied by a blue rectangle with the letter R.
This situation soon changes, however, as Re-Spins and Free Spins open up more symbol spaces, eventually resulting in no fewer than 3125 ways to win in Free Spins – which really increases your chances of netting the maximum possible single payout of 480 000 coins. Bet levels vary from 1 to 10 and the coin value ranges from 0.01 up to 0.20. The maximum bet is 100 and the Return To Player is 97%. You can play Reel Rush online anywhere as it is optimised for desktop and mobile gaming and compatible with iPhone and Android platforms.
The symbols in Reel Rush consist of a set of hard fruit candy in different colours – a Bonbon, Plum, Grapes, Watermelon, Lemon, Pineapple and Strawberry in ascending order of value, with the Strawberry paying out 1000x stake if you hit 5 on a payline. The Wild – a golden wrapper with Wild written on it – appears on all reels except reel 1 and substitute for all other symbols.
It’s a lot of fun to watch the fruit cascading down the reels accompanied by a lively Nintendo-style soundtrack and popping bleeping sound effects reminiscent of old-school video arcade games. The way the payout numbers shoot up from the bottom of the screen like a Space Invaders anti-alien laser cannon only adds to the effect.
What makes Reel Rush a firm favourite among our Vegas casino online gamers is the inordinately large number of ways to win generated by the special features. The first of these is Re-Spins – which kicks off with your first winning combination. Yes, any winning combination from any base game spin sets off an additional spin – and every Re-Spin gives you more ways to win by opening up the inactive spaces on the reels. As a result, the number of ways to win bumps up to 135 with the first Re-Spin, then 405, then 675 and 1125, to finish on 1875 ways to win in total.
After that, things start moving at warp speed – when you complete five winning combinations in a row and activate a fifth Re-Spin, you get 8 Free Spins with a massive 3125 ways to win big! The way the music speeds up to celebrate your success will also give you a real rush.
