Playtech’s Retro Rush Slot

Retro Rush Theme/Symbols

Set in a cyber city, the Retro Rush slot has a retro-futuristic feel as you navigate your way through a neon-lit Asian street. With a synthesizer-inspired soundtrack, you’ll see A, K, Q, J and 10 royals on the reels. Then you’ll come across 5 characters – the white-haired character is the most valuable giving you 20 times your stake for 5 in combination.

Sticky Wins feature

Every winning combination in the base game will trigger the Sticky Wins feature – the winning symbols ‘stick’ on the reels with the other positions respinning. The respins continue until no more new wins are created. On the respins, wild symbols can land on the first, second and fourth respin.

Wild symbols landing on the first respin will give you a 2x multiplier whilst wilds landing on the second and fourth respin will give you 3x and 5x multipliers respectively. As you’d expect, wilds replace all symbols bar scatters.

Free Games feature

Retro Rush comes with a Free Games feature – this is played when the take-out box (the scatter) appears simultaneously on reels 2, 3 and 4. Beginning with 5 free spins, the reel set extends to give you 60 paylines in total (played on a 5x6 grid as opposed to 5x3 grid).

When you get a win, the Sticky Wins feature comes into play. Wild symbols landing on the 1st or 2nd respin will give you 2x and 3x multipliers respectively. Any wild symbol landing on the reels will also expand to give you a fully wild reel. Furthermore, any symbol can also appear stacked (bar the scatter). The only downside is that you cannot retrigger more free spins.

Retro Rush thoughts

The Retro Rush slot game looks good – it’s beneficial that any win gives you respins which can give you wild multipliers up to 5x. It gets better in the Free Games feature where the number of paylines doubles and you will see stacked symbols, wild reels and multipliers up to 5x.

In the base game, the most you can win is 3,000 x stake on each spin – 600 x stake for filling the reels with the high value character symbol with a 5x multiplier. Doubling the number of paylines in the free spins will essentially double the win potential – the max win can reach 6,000 x stake per free spin. The RTP is also decent at 96.1%.
