Theme – Audio & Design Features – join Cotton Eye Joe in this Hillbilly Hoedown
The Rednex K.O slot is based on the iconic Cotton Eye Joe song by the Swedish Eurodance group Rednex. With a Hillbilly theme, there’s a light-hearted feel to the colourful visuals here.
Accompanying the action is the exceedingly catchy ‘Cotton Eye Joe’ song. It’s fine in small doses but you could get a little tired of it when it’s on a constant loop. Thankfully, there are volume and mute settings for both the song and the generic sounds. Overall, the cartoon-style design here is nicely done.
A barnyard set up for a dance is the setting here. The symbols appear on wooden crates. Joining the lower value A to J symbols are an animal skull, can of beer, banjo and a gap-toothed hillbilly. The most rewarding symbol is the cowgirl who pays 0.4, 2, 20 or 80 x your total stake if you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 on a payline. The paytable shows amounts in cash values which keeps things nice and straightforward.
You can join this barn dance on all devices including mobiles, computers and tablets. The bright colourful visuals are nice and sharp on the smaller screen, even accounting for the larger than usual game engine. The Rednex K.O mobile slot is well put together.
Rednex K.O Bonus Features
The sound and visuals here might be rather raucous but the gameplay isn’t quite as wild. There are a couple of extras to take note of including dancing wilds which award respins with expanding multipliers and a dynamite bonus where sticks of TNT can deliver instant rewards.
Dancing Wilds feature
On any base game spin you could see a pair of cowboy boots appear. These are special dancing wilds that can appear anywhere apart from reel 1. When they land, the Dancing Wilds feature is trigger with a respin awarded.
On that respin, the dancing wilds move 1 reel to the right. The respins continue until the dancing wilds drops off the rightmost reel. Each shift to the right adds a 1x multiplier to the dancing wilds too.
Knock Out feature
Joining the standard symbols and wilds on the reels are suitcases full of cash. Land 3 of these in a horizontal line and you’ll win an instant cash prize. Land 4 or more of them in a horizontal line and you’ll trigger the main feature (more info below). You can boost your chances of triggering the feature via the Chargeable Knockout.
To the right of the reels you’ll see a stack of throbbing speakers made up of 10 chargeable lights. Within every cycle of 5 spins, 1 of the lights will be illuminated and turn green. When all the lights are green, you’ll get to activate the Smash feature.
This allows you to smash symbols in order to try and create a line of horizontal suitcases. It’s a bit like Connect 4. Look out for mini suitcase symbols above a reel as this indicates that there’s a suitcase on that reel within 1, 2 or 3 smashes which can help create a 3, 4, 5 or 6 suitcase combination.
Dynamite Fishing Bonus feature
Activate the Dynamite Fishing Bonus feature by landing 4, 5 or 6 suitcases on a horizontal line. You’ll then head to a new screen where you lob sticks of dynamite into a lake. Each fish that floats to the surface comes with a cash prize attached. The more suitcases from the trigger, the more dynamite you get to throw.
Skill Balance Pot feature
All lost winnings that result from sub optimal play are collected in the Skill Balance Pot and then awarded as mystery prizes.
Rednex K.O Review Summary – high energy action
Was the world crying out for a slot based on the song ‘Cotton Eye Joe’? Probably not. The Rednex K.O slot is loud and lairy but it comes with some unusual extras in the form of the Connect 4-style suitcase smashes and the Skill Balance Pot.
The Dynamite Fishing Bonus feature isn’t particularly exciting but the dancing wilds can deliver some good action thanks to the respins and expanding multipliers. That’s certainly the case if you land more than 1 of them on the same spin.
‘Cotton Eye Joe’ won’t be making the cut for our Desert Island Discs selection but this slot version is decent enough with a high RTP and decent max win potential. If you want more slots based on songs, you have Danger! High Voltage from Big Time Gaming which is based on the song from Electric Six.
