Razor Ways Slot Review

Razor Ways Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Razor Ways slot game presents a 6×6 grid, yet it only starts with 3 unlocked rows in the base game. Initially, you’ll have 729 ways to win, but this can expand up to 46,656 ways if all 6 rows open up. You form a winning combination by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels—starting from the leftmost. When this happens, you trigger the game’s cascading and collapsing feature, which removes winning symbols to allow new ones to drop in and create further chances to win.

To choose your bet, hit the coin icon to access the bet configuration menu and select an amount between 10p and £100. Then, press the rotate button to spin or hit the spacebar. If you’re playing in a non-UK Razor Ways casino, make sure to try out the autoplay feature if you’d like the game to spin automatically for a set number of rounds—10, 20, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000. Turbo Mode and Quick Play speed up gameplay by reducing animation time or allowing you to skip them entirely.

The theoretical Razor Ways RTP rate that UK casinos use stands at 96.36% in regular play, but a lower version of 94.32% can also be employed. However, RTP rates for the bonus buy options change altogether. With medium to high volatility, the thrill is in the chase for those big wins.

The Razor Ways max win is a whopping 25,000x your stake. From my experience playing the demo, your best shot at hitting this is through the bonus features, especially when you trigger those mystery symbols and expanding wilds.

Theme – Shark-Infested Waters, Now Sharper

The Razor Ways slot takes you straight into the ocean depths, surrounded by familiar shark faces from the earlier titles in the series. The reels are framed by a rusty metal cage, while the cartoonish modern graphics give it a cosy, approachable feel despite the shark-infested waters.

The soundtrack sets a murky, spy-like atmosphere, which works well initially but can get quite repetitive. However, the sound effects complement this steady tone with a variety of cool bubbles and water-like noises. If none of these are doing it for you, just hit the settings menu through the burger icon and mute them.

Razor Ways comes with four low-paying symbols represented by blue, green, purple, and orange sea plants. Moving up the pay scale, you’ll find a compass, flippers, a diving helmet, and four sharks that bring in the higher payouts, along with other unique icons.

Here’s a breakdown of how each of these symbols pays out.

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Blue Sea Plant	3 to 6+ = 0.1 to 0.5 x stake
Green Sea Plant	3 to 6+ = 0.1 to 0.5 x stake
Purple Sea Plant	3 to 6+ = 0.1 to 0.5 x stake
Orange Sea Plant	3 to 6+ = 0.1 to 0.5 x stake
Compass	3 to 6+ = 0.2 to 1 x stake
Flippers	3 to 6+ = 0.2 to 1 x stake
Diving Helmet	3 to 6+ = 0.2 to 1 x stake
Blue Shark	3 to 6+ = 0.4 to 2.5 x stake
Green Shark	3 to 6+ = 0.4 to 2.5 x stake
Purple Shark	3 to 6+ = 0.5 to 3 x stake
Orange Shark	3 to 6+ = 0.5 to 5 x stake
Golden Shark	Substitutes for all paying symbols except Mystery, Scatter, and Instant Prize symbols
Expanding Wild	Expands to cover unlocked rows in base game; unlocks rows and expands during Free Spins with multiplier values x2, x3, or x5
Converter into Wild	Converts paying symbols into Wild Symbols, including itself
Scatter | Bonus	Triggers free spins
Mystery Symbol (Seaweed)	Can land anywhere on reels during base game and Free Spins

Razor Ways Mobile

The Razor Ways mobile slot works as smoothly as on the desktop, on both iOS and Android devices, thanks to Push Gaming’s streamlined menu and enlarged reels. Whether on a smartphone or tablet, the game delivers great visuals and easy play.

Despite my personal preference for larger screens, I can’t help but praise this provider’s efforts on mobile casinos. Razor Ways actually felt better on the go—the touchscreen made it more fun to play.

Razor Ways Bonus Features

At its core, Razor Ways slot employs the cascading wins mechanic, in which winning symbols vanish, the remaining ones drop-down, and new icons fill the gaps. The slot also packs eight exciting bonus features, including the Expanding Wilds, Razor Reveal, and Buy Bonus option if you’re itching to jump straight into it.

Let’s break down each one and see what they bring to the game.

Expanding Rows

Expanding Rows in Razor Ways means that the game starts with 3 active rows at the bottom and 3 locked ones at the top. When you hit a win or an Instant Prize, one of the locked rows unlocks and expands the grid. It resets to the initial 3 active rows at the start of each new round.
Note: You can unlock up to 3 rows, making a total of 6 in play.

Mystery Symbols

Mystery symbols can appear anywhere on the reels during the base game and free spins.
When they land, they reveal one of the following: a paying symbol, a Wild symbol, an Expanding Wild symbol, a Converter into a Wild symbol, or a Golden Shark symbol.

Suppose new Mystery symbols land on active rows during the same spin. In that case, they will reveal different characters or features from the initial ones unless a Golden Shark symbol is involved, which remains consistent.

Expanding Wild Symbol

When an Expanding Wild symbol lands—either from Mystery symbols or directly on the reels—it turns all positions it covers into Wilds.

In the base game, it also expands to cover any unlocked rows. If the reel with the Expanding Wild also has a Scatter symbol or a Golden Shark symbol, these will cascade down after the win is paid out.

During the free spins, the Expanding Wild unlocks locked rows and covers the entire reel. However, it returns to its original size if it doesn’t help create a win.

Keep in mind: This symbol can also come with a multiplier of x2, x3, or x5.

Converter into Wild Symbol

Like the Expanding Wild symbol, the Converter into Wild can appear from Mystery symbols or land directly on the reels.

When activated, it cycles through the paying symbols on the unlocked rows for that round. Once it stops on a specific paying symbol, all symbols, including the Converter into Wild itself, turn into Wilds.

If more than two Mystery symbols land, only two of them will become Converter into Wild, while the others will reveal the same paying symbol instead.

Razor Reveal Feature

The Razor Reveal feature triggers when Mystery symbols land on at least three consecutive reels during the base game or free spins, turning into Golden Shark. Otherwise, they can appear randomly, even if they’re not on successive reels.

Each Golden Shark spins to reveal a prize, those being:

Symbol	Info
Instant Prize	Bet Multipliers: x1, x2, x5, x10, x25, x50, x100, x250, x500, x1000, x2500, x5000 Stays in place until the feature ends
Multiplier	Multiplies all Instant Prize and Collector symbols by x2, x3, x5, or x10 Then, it's removed, and its spot spins again to reveal a new prize
Collector	Collects the value of all Instant Prize and Collector Symbols; remains on reels during Razor Reveal Feature
Converter	Converts matching non-Wild paying symbols on unlocked rows into Golden Shark Wilds, including itself
Scatter (only in the base game)	Landing three or more triggers the Free Spins feature
Row Unlocker (only in the bonus buy)	Unlocks a new row; then removed from reels, with the empty space spinning for another prize

The feature keeps going as long as new Mystery symbols keep landing. Ultimately, the total value of all Instant Prize and Collector symbols is added based on your bet.

Free Spins Feature

The Free Spins feature starts when you land 3 or more Scatter symbols during regular spins, through the Cascades, or within the Razor Reveal feature. Depending on how many you land, you can get 6 to 10 free spins with multipliers ranging from x1 to x10. The grid expands with more Scatters, starting at 3×6 and going up to 6×6.

During these rounds, you might see Glowing Mystery Symbols, and each time one lands, it fills the Total Multiplier Level meter. You move up a level as soon as you collect 5 of these, which gives you more free spins and increases your multiplier.

Here’s how it works:

• Level 1: Starts with an x1 multiplier and a 3×6 grid.
• Level 2: You get 4 more free spins, an x3 multiplier, and the grid expands to 4×6.
• Level 3: You get 3 more free spins, an x5 multiplier, and the grid expands to 5×6.
• Level 4: You get 2 more free spins, an x10 multiplier, and the grid expands to 6×6.

Push Bet (Not available in UK online casinos)

The Push Bet feature lets you increase your bet to boost your chances of hitting special symbols:

• Scatter Push Bet: 1.4x stake – a higher chance of Scatters.
• Mystery Push Bet: 3x bet – 2 guaranteed Mystery symbols.
• Mystery and Scatter Push Bet: 4x bet – 2 guaranteed Mystery symbols and boosted Scatter chances.

Bonus Buy Feature (Not available in UK online casinos)

The Bonus Buy feature lets you directly purchase entry into the free spins or a base game feature. Your options are as follows:

Base Game Features:

• Converter into Wild: Guarantees a Converter into Wilds symbol for 67x your bet (96.34% RTP).
• Razor Reveal: Guarantees 6 Golden Shark symbols for 50x your bet (96.23% RTP).
• Grand Razor Reveal: Guarantees 18 Golden Shark symbols with a chance to unlock an extra row for 150x your bet (96.06% RTP).

Razor Ways Slot

Into slots packed with features and big win possibilities? Razor Ways is a solid pick. Just keep in mind that it’s not the simplest game to master.

Pros

• Engaging bonus features
• High potential max win (25,000x)
• Flexible betting options
• Very mobile friendly

Cons

• Complex for beginners

Razor Ways by Push Gaming takes a different approach from its predecessors by scaling back slightly while still packing in a wide list of features. The switch to a ways system with an unlockable grid adds a fresh dynamic, too. However, what pushes it over the top can make it overwhelming for less experienced players.

Also, despite the top-notch graphics, the audio fell short of my expectations—I was hoping for something more creative. All in all, I can’t complain much about the 25,000x win cap; it offers solid potential without being overly volatile.
