Reel Rush Slot Review

Reel Rush Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Each new spin in the Reel Rush slot starts on a 5 reel machine that offers 45 ways to win. To create a winner, you’ll need to land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. For example, landing lemon symbols anywhere on reels 1, 2 and 3 would result in a winner. Landing lemons on reels 1, 3, 4 and 5 would not.

Each win triggers a re-spin which also increases the number of ways to win, up to a maximum of 3,125 if you trigger the bonus round.

Stake levels here range from 50p to £100 per spin. Autoplay is available to players outside the UK if required. You can run between 10 and 1,000 autospins. Click on the advanced settings and you’ll be able to add win and loss stop limits. There is also a Quick Spin option.

The Reel Rush RTP is 96.96% which comes in well above average. That’s a higher number than you’ll find in most slots. The volatility here is in the medium range so expect a balance between frequency and size of payouts.

Significantly, the hit frequency rate is 28.29% so you’ll land a winner around once every 3.5 spins on average. The maximum win from a single spin is 962 x your total stake.

Theme – fruit machine meets Mario + Luigi

The Reel Rush slot is a veteran when it comes to releases. Despite its relatively old age, the colourful design on display here works rather well. The rather blocky visuals weren’t really cutting edge when it first dropped onto online casino shelves in 2013. It reminds me of the classic Super Mario Bros game by Nintendo from the 80s.

There’s a rather gentle electronic backing track playing in the background while you spin. Again, this rather minimalist style works rather well. It’s simple yes but the design here remains surprisingly fresh.

The reels include 5 lower value sweet symbols which are joined by 6 rather chunky fruit symbols. In order of value are the plum, raspberry, lime, lemon and pineapple. The strawberry tops the bill as far as payouts are concerned, awarding 20 x your total stake if you manage to land 5 in combination.

There’s also a gold wild. This can land anywhere apart from reel 1 and substitute for all the standard symbols in a winning combination.

Symbol	Payout
Purple Candy	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 1 x stake
Green Candy	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 1 x stake
Yellow Candy	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 1 x stake
Orange Candy	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 1 x stake
Red Candy	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 1 x stake
Plum	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 1 or 2 x stake
Grape	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 1.2 or 3 x stake
Watermelon	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 1.5 or 4 x stake
Lemon	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 2 or 5 x stake
Pineapple	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 2 or 5 x stake
Strawberry	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 5 or 20 x stake
Wild	Substitutes for all symbols

Reel Rush Mobile

The bright imagery and simple gameplay make the Reel Rush mobile slot a very straightforward one to play. You won’t lose much playing on a smartphone or tablet compared to a device with a bigger screen.

Reel Rush Bonus Features

The gameplay in Reel Rush is a little unusual. The action centres around re-spins which trigger each time you land a winning combination. Look out too for expanded reels as well as a free spins feature which comes into play if you get on a lengthy winning run.

Re-Spins feature

Each time you land a winning combination, the Re-Spins feature is triggered and a re-spin follows. You’ll notice that some positions on the game grid are blocked. The more wins you land in a row, the more re-spins are awarded and the more blocked positions open up. This also has an impact on the number of ways you can create a winner:

Free Spins feature

In most online slot games, the bonus features are triggered by landing scatter or bonus symbols. That’s not the case here. The Free Spins feature is activated by landing a winning combination following a 5^th re-spin.

In that happy circumstance, you’ll go on to play 8 free spins. These take place on a fully expanded set of reels where all the blocked positions are open. You’ll have 3,125 ways to win throughout the free spins.

Reel Rush Review Summary – simple but rather hypnotic

The simple formula in the Reel Rush slot proved so popular that it inspired NetEnt to launch a sequel, Reel Rush 2. The original remains a playable game too. The design is rather basic but it fits the theme nicely. Likewise, the straightforward gameplay.

The key to big wins is to get consecutive wins from the re-spins which will lead to more ways to win and ultimately the Free Spins feature. The max win of 962 x stake per spin isn’t the highest though so you’re best playing Reel Rush 2 which offers 5,000 x stake wins, up to 3,125 ways to win and a lot more bonus features.

Another slot game to play that has some similarities is the Wheel of Wonders slot by Push Gaming. With each win, additional positions are added which increases the number of ways to win. This can give you up to 46,656 ways to win. You can also win up to 47,223 x your total stake per spin.
