Reel Rush Game Background
Reel Rush - released in 2013 - is a 5-reel, 5-row online slot game that’s played using a default 1-3-4-3-1 row format. The game has a maximum potential 3125 ways to win thanks to its 2 exciting bonus features, namely the Respin and Free Spins bonus rounds, so it’s no wonder that the slot became such a hit with players and audiences. Adding to the appeal is Reel Rush’s commitment to its old-school visual presentation with its chunky-looking graphics, symbol designs, and sound effects. Curiously, this doesn’t extend to the music, which has a more modern, mellow sensibility, but that still nicely fits in with the slot’s design.
Reel Rush Game Design
NetEnt has created something exceptional with this online casino game. The game’s primary colors are green and blue. The sky in the background is a light blue and showcases blocky-looking clouds. Below this are green hills and trees, also looking nice and chunky. With regards to the reels, the tiles housing symbols are a slightly darker, more transparent blue; blocker tiles (i.e. tiles with no symbols) are lighter in tone. And speaking of symbols, these are colorful, varied and appealing to look at. Taken together with the aforementioned sound effects, this slot harkens back to a certain video game franchise from the 1990s.
Reel Rush Mobile
This slot game is compatible and available to play on a wide range of devices, including desktop and mobile. All that’s needed is a stable internet connection.
Reel Rush Symbols
The symbols are colorful, elaborately detailed and fit the theme of the slot to a tee.
On the lower end of the scale are the low-paying oval-shaped sweets.
Next up we have the higher-paying classic fruit slot symbols, Plum, Grapes, Watermelon, Lemon, Pineapple, and Strawberry. Landing 5-of-a-kind on the reels can yield a win of 100 to 1,000 coins.
No self-respecting slot game would be without its Wild symbol, and Reel Rush is no exception. The Wild symbol is represented here by a Golden Star with the word WILD embossed on it and is again very reminiscent of the stars found in a certain 90s franchise. The Wild symbol only appears only on reels 2 - 5 and substitutes for all other symbols in the game. Curiously, there’s no Scatter symbol in this slot.
Reel Rush Bonus Features
Now we’re getting to the heart of this online slot. Reel Rush features 2 bonus features that lead into each other, so winning combinations lead to respins, which in turn lead to free spins, which in turn leads to some potential big wins. Let’s take a look.
Respin Feature
Respins are triggered after landing any winning combination. Blocker tiles (that is, the squares housing the Star symbols with R embossed on them) are removed from the reels, opening up more of the game grid. This in turn increases the chances of landing another winning combination, and so on. The more Respins that land the more ways there are to win. Let’s break this down:
- 1 Respin = 135 potential ways to win
- 2 Respins = 405 potential ways to win
- 3 Respins = 675 potential ways to win
- 4 Respins = 1125 potential ways to win
- 5 Respins = 1875 potential ways to win
The way this works is that any time a winning combination lands on a respin, this opens up two more tiles and another respin is awarded.
Free Spins
Land a win on the 5th respin and 8 Free Spins are then awarded, and these play out on the full 5x5 game grid for the duration of the bonus round, meaning that there’s a potential (aforementioned) 3125 ways to win.
Summary
Reel Rush is another excellent entry by NetEnt. Simplicity is the name of the game in this slot. The base game is fun to play on its own, and the excitement levels bounce up a couple of notches with the slot game’s bonus features, which offer greater chances of potentially landing a big payout. This is complemented by the game’s excellent and stylish retro-looking visual and aural presentation, which is both immersive and a lot of fun to engage with. If you enjoy this online slot you could also try the Eldorado-themed Gonzo’s Quest.
