Mystery Reels Review
Red Tiger Gaming’s popular 2017 slot Mystery Reels is up there with Starburst as one of the most beginner-friendly online slots on the market. This flashy 5-reel, 20 win line slot is inspired by classic slot machines and is incredibly modest in terms of the way it looks and plays.
Design
Mystery Reels is reminiscent of bright, loud and in your face slot machine! The colours are vivid and rich and the overall vibe is upbeat we’re pretty impressed with Mystery Reels. It’s exactly what we’d expect from an online slot designed by the experts at Red Tiger Gaming.
The symbols are reminiscent of an old-school slot machine as well with cherries, lemons, oranges, plums and grapes, melons, bells and flaming 7 symbols all featuring. The game’s bonus symbol is the Mystery Reels wheel of fortune itself with the word bonus written across it.
Upbeat electronic music plays as you spin the reels, we’ll be honest, it’s not the greatest but it’s certainly not cause for too much complaint at all.
Gameplay
This online slot is played like any Red Tiger Gaming title, the stake can be changed by selection from a list in the bottom left-hand corner of the game screen whilst the spin button sits in the bottom right-hand corner of the game screen. Players can set up to a maximum of 100 auto-spins as long as they set a loss limit beforehand.
Usually, Mystery Reels can be played with a minimum stake of £0.10 per spin and a maximum of £40 per spin, however, this is subject to change based on which casino you’re playing at.
Win Potential
This highly volatile slot offers players a maximum win of 5,000x their initial stake, which for a somewhat older online slot certainly isn’t terrible. Unfortunately, though, the RTP is massively below average sitting at a pitiful 93.20% which really lets this game down.
Our Verdict
Mystery Reels is a funny old game. It is missing all the hallmarks of what makes an online slot an online slot, however, it’s possible to look past that because the features that this game does have are pretty fun! We really enjoyed getting stuck into the bonus wheel, however, it’s hard to get too excited when the RTP sits so low.
