Reel Rush 2 Slot

Graphics

It is impossible to play a slots sequel without comparing it to the original, and even on first glances it is clear to see plenty of development work has gone into Reel Rush 2. The square lines are gone, everything has more curves - the reel case, the symbols, the backdrop. The result? More depth, more dimensions and more fun! The console game aesthetic remains, but think more along the fun lines of No Limit City’s Tractor Beam slot than NetENt’s own Wilderland. The unique 1, 2, 3, 2, 1 reelcase returns, but a new addition is a three carriage train that skips underneath the reelcase to deliver reel modifiers.

A Block Breaker turret fires at the empty positions on the reel case to expand the number of symbols, while a Second Chance Heart awards a respin on a non-winning spin that sends cute hearts fluttering over the screen. Awwww!

Gameplay

The principle gameplay element of Reel Rush returns - the reelcase expands its 1, 2, 3, 2, 1 formation with each win, increasing the number of paylines active as it does from 45 up to 3,125 when all symbol spaces are active. The train that zooms in on each spin operates three platforms, meaning that up to three reel modifiers can be in play on any one spin. Anyone who has played NetEnt’s Wild Wild West:

The Great Train Heist will know that the law of slots means you can’t win on every single spin, so though there are eight modifiers in total they are not guaranteed to bring wins. The Block Breaker and Second Chance symbols are joined by Random Wilds, Symbol Multipliers (x5 - x20), Symbol Upgrade, Multiplier Boost, Extra Free Spins (in Free Spins bonus game only) and Extra Super Tokens. Just as in Reel Rush we need five consecutive wins in order to trigger the Free Spins feature, but in Reel Rush 2 this is displayed via a meter on the right of the reels. A new addition is the meter to the left, which collects Super Tokens.

You bag Super Tokens each time you unblock a symbol, or when the little train drops one off for you at random. You need to collect 2,000 Super Tokens to trigger the Super Free Spins feature, which elevates the bonus action by multiplying all wins by a number on the Progressive Multiplier Meter.

Verdict

2,000 Super Tokes seems like a big score to achieve in order to trigger the Super Free Spins feature, but the fun and fast gameplay makes the time fly by. You also have the option to buy-in to the Super Free Spins feature when the Free Spins feature launches. Though of course there are no guarantees that your winnings will be greater than the cost of buying in. But with a top jackpot of 1,000,000 the chance to trigger the Super Free Spins game is as tempting an offer as you are likely to see on any online or mobile slot ever. Now for the big question. Has Reel Rush 2 improved on the original? 100% yes!
