Pixel Reels Review
In the year 2021, the world is facing its greatest threat with a looming alien invasion. The only one that can save Earth is you! Developed by SYNOT Games, Pixel Reels is a gaming themed slot that plays on 5-reels with 30 paylines along with a medium to high volatility.
Along your adventure, you'll find Invasions, Expanding Wilds and Free Spins to give you better ammunition against the aliens. If you manage to defeat enough, you may be handsomely rewarded - so step right up and enter Pixel Reels.
Design
Before you even open up the slot, you'll notice that there's a clear inspiration from Space Invaders with the pixel graphics and alien designs. Despite the similarities, Pixel Reels becomes more original with the futuristic background full of neon lights and various buildings befitting the world along with a luminescent floor. All the symbols on the reels are different shapes of aliens which look pixelated and fit well with the theme of this slot.
As for music, there's a soft techno score that has a steady beat throughout and mixes well with the sounds of the reels which ultimately sounds like a traditional fruit machine slot. It may not be anything exciting, but it goes with the overall atmosphere of the slot.
Gameplay
Just like old video games, the gameplay of this slot is uncomplicated and only features you spinning 5 different reels with 30 possible paylines. On top of that, the features are minimal but effective in increasing your wins.
All the relevant buttons can be found at the bottom right of the screen with the spin button, autospin and bet level just at the bottom right. Further to the left, you'll find an additional menu with more settings such as sound or the paytable if you need them.
Win Potential
The RTP of this slot is 96.13% which is just over the average of 96%. Furthermore, the maximum payout is only 2,500x your stake which can be achieved through the free spins with multipliers. You will be able to win a decent amount by betting high, but that's the only way.
As for the volatility level, this slot has a medium to high volatility level leaning more towards the higher threshold. Ultimately, this means that wins are less frequent but you'll find higher ones when you eventually do get paid.
Our Verdict
There's no denying that Pixel Reels looks absolutely incredible and will definitely take you back to retro gaming with the visuals and gameplay. It's an utter delight for fans of video games or anything retro, but the win potential leaves a lot to be desired.
The fact that the maximum payout isn't anything special is a little offputting. Despite this, Pixel Reels is still worth a spin for its originality and mesmerising gameplay that you can't help but love.
