Mad Cabs Features

To land yourself a win in Mad Cabs, you'll need regular Playing Card symbols from 10 through Ace or the Mad Cab symbols. In addition to this, Wild symbols can also pay out in their own right and Noober symbols will also work some magic

There are 20 pay lines on which to feel the power of these images and a minimum of 3 are required to score a payout. However, only 2 Wild symbols are needed to get you a win. These Wild symbols will also substitute for all others except the Noober symbols, as one might expect. 

Expanding reels and free spins

Moving into the features now, there are a couple of alternative ways to line your pockets with a little extra gold and these are the Free Spins Bonus and Call a Noober. Free spins come around when 3, 4 or 5 Noober symbols—confusingly—land to present 10, 15 or 20 free spins. This is different from the Call a Noober feature, despite the fact that the Scatter symbols have the same name. 

Anyway, Call a Noober is an expanding reel feature where 1 of the chosen Car symbols—and all instances that are present on the reels—will expand to cover the entire reel and payout wherever they are on the grid. 

The main problem with this feature is that the trigger is a little intricate. You will need 2 sets of these Mad Cab symbols to prove that you are worthy of this luxury chauffeur service. Three Tuk Tuks, Yellow Cabs and Black Cabs each create their own set while 2 limos also create a set. 

2 of these sets trigger the game and get you your Expanding symbol. It does seem like a lot of effort for a minor modifier. You can also trigger this during the Free Spins Bonus when Mad Cab symbols appear on at least 3 reels.

Mad Cabs - Call a Noober

Call a Noober

Watch Car symbols expand to cover the reels and pay on all lines when 2 sets of them land at the same time. You’ll need 3 Tuk-Tuk, 3 Black Cab, 3 Yellow Cab or 2 Limo symbols to trigger the feature.

Mad Cabs - Free Spins

Free Spins

Grab your free plays when 3, 4 or 5 Noober symbols land. These will get you 10, 15 or 20 spins and Call a Noober can also trigger when any of the Mad Cab—Car symbols—appear on 3 or more reels.

Mad Cabs Review

Admittedly, the Call a Noober feature seemed a little confusing when I first looked at the instructions but it turns out that there's nothing to it—it's just a pain trying to actually trigger the thing in the first place. 

Needing all of these extra sets of Mad Cabs to bring on what is essentially a modifier that many other slots fling out for free, does seem a little unappealing. That said, the Free Spins Bonus could be a bit of a saving grace given that you can see bigger wins thanks to the integration of the Call a Noober feature at this point.

Design

There is a fun rock and roll soundtrack keeping you happy as you make your way through downtown ‘somewhere’ in search of a taxi. Why you might be looking for a Tuk-Tuk is beyond me, but each to their own! Nothing really happens on these fairly tranquil streets and there aren’t any other cars about, which does make you wonder how long you might have to wait for a cab to turn up. Perhaps calling a Noober will be your best bet.

Gameplay

I like the idea of the Call a Noober feature but I don't like the execution one bit. It's far too convoluted, which makes it unlikely to show up very frequently. You will be hoping to make your way out of the base game and into the Free Spins Bonus as soon as possible so you can see some better wins and a little more excitement. If there is a Bonus Buy option, then it won't be available in the UK, unfortunately.

Win Potential

Mad Cabs stats aren't exactly setting the world alight, much like the gameplay. There is a 95.25% RTP with high volatility and a max win of just 7,500x. You need to decide if this is enough to lure you into this wild ride

Our Verdict

Quite why Iron Dogs Studios decided to call this Mad Cabs is an odd one. It's not exactly a crazy adventure and very little has been done to boost the appeal of this slot. It is bog-standard at best. To finish on a positive note, it is a slot after all and despite what I or anyone else thinks of it, there's always a chance that it could pay out some incredible sums of cash if you hit the spin button at the right time.
