Reel Rush Slot

Reel Rush slot is a fruity video slot with a difference. NetEnt has employed a unique diamond reel set up that shape-shifts and increases in size with every re-spin won. Engage this bright and vibrant slot on either your mobile or desktop device for re-spins and free spins that could lead to payouts worth 96,240 coins.

Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols

The theme of this NetEnt online slot game seems to have been borrowed directly from the traditional Nintendo game theme of Super Mario Bros. The game world behind the diamond-shaped reels vibrantly sports arcade-like trees, though fruits and sweets seem to dominate the foreground.

Though the reel set is a smaller 1,3,5,3,1 setup, the reserved tiles around about the active positions give hope that the reel set will grow as the game goes on – and it does! The entrancing tunes do well to relax a player until a win is made. These come with an upbeat turn of the music, introducing a true reel rush before you, as re-spins enter the fray. More on this later.

The slightly abstract reel symbols bolster the fruity game theme, offering Strawberries, Pineapples, Plums, Lemons, Melons and Grapes. The lower-valued symbols are represented by oval sweets flavoured and coloured after the fruits.

There is also a golden Wild symbol with a star on it. This icon appears on all the reels except the first one and will help to complete winning payouts by substituting for all symbols in the game.

Game Mechanics

The game is essentially played over 5 reels and 45 paylines at the start. Though the reels do not increase in number, the number of tiles playable on the reels increases as the special features involve themselves in the fray, boosting paylines up to 3,125 ways.

Landing matching symbols make wins in adjacent columns from the left-most reel to the right. There are no set payline patterns. Play from 0.50 to 125 coins on the bet bar and haul in up to 1,000x on a single payline.

The medium volatility of the game together with a super RTP of 97% ensures that wins can potentially come in quite steadily, and may pay handsomely if you stay on the upward end of the stake scale.

Special Features

Reel Rush is not loaded with multiple special features, but the ones that it does embrace are perfectly suited both to keep you entertained and to pay you handsomely if you are lucky enough to trigger them.

Reel Rush Re-Spin

After each base game win, the reels will re-spin, giving you another chance at winning an extra cash prize. But you don’t just receive a standard spin. The reel set grows in size with every consecutive spin, increasing the number of payways in play.

If you manage to get the reels to spin for 5 consecutive re-spins, the game will reward you with 8 free spins with 3,125 ways to win.  The reels grow in the following way:

• Your original win is made with 45 paylines active.
• First re-spin is rolled on 135 payways.
• The second re-spin is rolled on 405 payways.
• The third re-spin is rolled on 675 payways.
• The fourth re-spin is rolled on 1,125 payways.
• The fifth re-spin is rolled on 1,875 payways.
• The Free Spin Round is rolled on a massive 5x5 grid, offering 3,125 payways.

CasinoWow Game Verdict

Reel rush may seem slow from the start, due to the relaxed vibe set by the soundtrack, but don’t be fooled, this only lasts a few seconds. Though it may not make you rich, the play will speed up and can bolster your roll if treated well, especially if those reels spin on to trigger the main feature.
