Reel Rush

This is such a charming little game that may come with a limited amount of features, but doesn’t lower any of the excitement. Developed by NetEnt, Reel Rush has 5-reels with a cluster mechanic meaning that you can win on even more lines.

It’s a food themed slot packed full of adorable artwork, melodic music and overall fun gameplay. At medium volatility, the game gives you the best of both worlds as it’s completely unpredictable as to whether you win large or win small. With its easy and vibrant gameplay, you’ve got yourself one exciting game to play.

Design

The presentation in the background emulates classical platforming games with a cutesy look that adds to the artwork in the reels. You can see inspiration from video game titles such as Sonic The Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros, but Reel Rush made it their own style which feels more cute and polished.

The lovable fruit symbols mix in so well with the entire aesthetic of the game and are generally pleasing to the eye. Even the menu buttons at the bottom aline with the cutesy style and look cohesive with the game.

Tranquil music is played between spins that’ll instantly relax you. Spinning the reels results in more upbeat music, but it still fits within the tone of the game. More impressively, it stays consistent which means that you won’t have to turn any annoying sounds down. The same goes with the other sounds in the slot as they are subtle and fall in line with the tone that the game is giving.

Gameplay Interaction

Reel Rush comes as simple as it gets - you set your bet and spin. The fun comes with the Re-Spin mechanic that unlocks more of the reels and gives you the potential to win even more. It has cascading wins and wilds to help you even further. If you manage to get to level 5 of the Re-Spin section, you unlock 8 free spins.

It’s uncomplicated and clear to play. Even the menus are straightforward at the bottom of the screen. Starting with general rules, information and settings on the left, it then goes along to the bet levels, spin and autospin button. Finally, the right side has a changeable coin value section and displays your details - so you can keep track. Amazingly, you can go up to 1,000 autospins with a bet placed between 0.50 and 100.00.

Win Potential

In the standard game, you can win up to 962.4x your bet. It gets more exciting with the Re-Spin and free spin mechanics that give you up to 3,125 ways to win plus the chance to obtain 3,840x your stake. It has medium volatility, so you know there’s a fair chance to get a high or low payout. With the RTP at a respectable 96.96%, you have an even greater chance at winning.

Our Verdict

Blending the style and animations from video games, Reel Rush is incredibly entertaining and full of character. It may seem familiar with its retro aesthetic, but the mix of it all makes it into a slot game that you don’t want to miss. Reel Rush misses out the crassness found in many of the other food slots, but stands out even better for it.

You’d be a ‘reel’ fool to miss out on this game, as it’s definitely worth playing for its artwork and music alone.
