The Rave Slot Review

The Rave Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The Rave slot game begins with 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed when 3, 4 or 5 identical symbols appear on consecutive reels, in any position and beginning from the leftmost reel.

Bet levels vary between 20p and £100 per spin. Click on the Dollar icon below the reels to bring up all stake options. Outside the UK, you will see 2 buttons below the main Spin button. The Play button is Autoplay which allows up to 1000 autospins along with single win and balance limits. The other is the Turbo Mode which gives you quicker spin speed.

In terms of returns, The Rave RTP is 96.09% which is about average for an online slot. 61.72% will come from the base game and 34.34% from the bonus features. There is also a 94.29% RTP version so I recommend you check at the slot site UK that you’re playing at.

As always, the volatility is classed as extreme (10/10) meaning big wins will be hard to achieve. Winning combinations will occur every 3.89 spins on average as the hit frequency rate is 25.66%.

Finally, The Rave offers maximum payouts of 41,500 x your total bet. Simulated from 10 billion spins, this will occur once every 5 million spins on average. Winning 100 x your total bet or more will occur once every 725 spins. Triggering the free spins will happen every 198 spins (on average).

Theme – get ready to rave to the grave

With a party theme, The Rave slot will make you rave to the grave, literally. Join Joe Labrador, AKA DJ P5ychØ Manhunt, on a transcendent journey into the wildest rave anyone has ever experienced. The soundtrack is thumping and could easily feature in an Ibiza nightclub.

You will notice Joe Labrador has been subsequently released from San Quentin prison. The story is that those who lose themselves to the beat will never return. With DJ P5ychØ Manhunt playing the decks above the reels, the background is a rave scene with purple and pink tones.

Symbols on the reels include headphones, lollipops, sunglasses, money spray guns and Joe Labrador’s ‘King’ gold necklace and pendant. The higher value symbols include a party girl, a rave Granma with dreadlocks, a party dued who looks like The Prodigy’s late Keith Flint, Jesus (yes, really) and Joe Labrador/DJ P5ychØ Manhunt. DJ P5ychØ Manhunt is the best paying symbol with 3, 4 or 5 awarding 0.5, 0.75 or 6 x your total bet.

There is also a hippie yellow flower wild which substitutes for all symbols mentioned above. Others include xWays, xSplit Wild and Drop the Bass scatter symbols.

The Rave Mobile

Produced with HTML5 technology, The Rave is available to play on all types of devices. These include mobiles, laptops, PCs and tablets. Compatible with iOS, Android and Windows operating systems, the best experience will be had on a laptop or PC. This is because they tend to have better speakers which will allow you to hear the superb soundtrack.

The Rave Bonus Features

The Rave slot has 9 bonus features. Drop the Bass scatters activate Enhancer Cells which bring in xWays, xSplit Wilds, wilds and character symbols into play. 2 xWays symbols give you expanded xWays Wilds. Then you have the 2 free spins features where 3 random features can come into play for linked reels, wilds and transforming symbols.

Drop the Bass feature

In the main game, the Drop the Bass scatter can land on any reel. Landing 2 Drop the Bass scatters will trigger the Drop the Bass feature. The scatters activate the symbols to transform to Enhancer Cells. Enhancer Cells will reveal 1 of the following symbols:

If you get more than 1 xWays symbol, they will reveal the same symbol. Furthermore, there’s an xBet feature. At a cost of an extra 20% of your bet amount, you are guaranteed a Drop the Bass scatter symbol on reel 2. This means the minimum stake will rise to 24p and the maximum to £120. The xBet feature is also available in other Nolimit City slots such as Karen Maneater.

Double xWays Wild feature

When 2 xWays symbols land on the same reel, the Double xWays Wild feature comes into play. Then an expanded xWays Wild is created on that reel. The stacked wild contains between 6 and 11 wilds. If you manage to land a full screen of xWays Wilds, the Busted sequence is triggered meaning the max win of 41,500 x bet will be won.

Murder on the Dance Floor feature

The Murder on the Dance Floor feature is activated when 3 or 4 Drop the Bass scatters land, giving you 7 or 8 free spins and 3 or 4 Enhancer Cells respectively. These Enhancer Cells are situated on the bottom row and are active for every free spins during the feature.

Once in, a symbol multiplier appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. This is activated whenever a character symbol lands in the Enhancer Cells. Look out for xSplit symbols landing on any of the 3 middle reels as it increases the symbol multiplier of that reel by 2.

Finally, there is chance to trigger 3 random bonus features:

God is a DJ feature

The God is a DJ feature is played when you land 5 Drop the Bass scatters on a base game spin. You can also trigger it by landing a 5^th scatter during the Murder on the Dance Floor feature. With 10 free spins awarded, you will get 2 extra free spins if activating from the other free spins feature.

Once in, 5 Enhancer Cells will drop in the middle of the bottom row on every free spin. Only high paying symbols, xWays, wilds or xSplit symbols can land in the Enhancer Cells. The symbol multiplier on the 3 middle reels will be activated when a character symbol lands in the Enhancer Cells.

Working exactly like the Murder on the Dance Floor feature, the difference is that you are guaranteed to land 1 of the 3 random bonus features on each free spin.

Nolimit Bonus feature

The Nolimit Bonus feature is available for non UK slot players. This allows you to buy your way into various The Rave bonus features. Costing between 68 and 522 x your total bet, click on the yellow Star icon to enable them. Here’s what they offer:

If you opt for the Lucky Draw option, there’s a 20% chance of playing the Murder on the Dance Floor feature with 7 free spins. There’s also a 20% chance you will play the God is DJ feature with 10 free spins. The remaining 60% is for the Murder on the Dance Floor feature with 8 free spins.

The Rave Review Summary – let the music take you all the way up to heaven

Nolimit City have done it again with The Rave slot. Perfectly timed for the summer festival season, the thumping soundtrack is simply superb. If the music is not your thing, you can mute it but you’ll be missing out on the whole essence of the game in my opinion.

In terms of the gameplay, The Rave uses elements found in other Nolimit City slots. For example, Enhancer Cells can be found in San Quentin and Mental. The latter is more similar to what you see in The Rave. I do love the way the music interacts with what’s going on in the slot. It reminds me a little of ELK Studios’ Nitropolis 3.

The bigger wins will come from the Murder on the Dance Floor and God is a DJ features due to the symbol multiplier. Then look out for xSplit symbols as this increases the reel symbol multiplier by 2 each time. The addition of the 3 random features is a welcome touch as you can benefit from more high paying symbols, wilds and linked reels. In the God is a DJ feature, random features drop on every free spin.

In terms of the free spins features, landing a 5th scatter in the Murder on the Dance Floor feature will occur 1 in 7 times (so you play the God is a DJ feature). When it comes to win potential, here are the probabilities of hitting the top payout when playing in either free spins feature:

Whilst The Rave doesn’t offer anything innovative in terms of mechanics, the atmosphere, soundtrack and sheer chaos makes this game another hit. If your raving days are behind you now, you can relive your youth with this thumping release.

It also offers good winning potential with max wins of 41,500 x bet. The max exposure will land every 5 million spins which is a lot lower than other Nolimit City titles (1 in 130 million in Tombstone RIP and 1 in 36 million in Legion X).

In summary, The Rave may be a little too loud for some. However, the Enhancer Cells are key to achieving more ways to win and bring in other symbols into play. This all combines in the 2 free spins features where the slot can literally go bonkers.
