Fans of Super Mario need look no further. If ever there was an online slots game to appeal to that demographic, NetEnt’s Reel Rush Touch would surely be the one. Recognisable graphics, sounds and in-game features like pipes, mushrooms and rounded blocks give Reel Rush Touch the feeling of familiarity, even for first time players, channeling Nintendo’s original Super Mario world as the backdrop to this high paying slots game.
It’s not just Mario fans who’ll feel at ease here – if you’ve ever played a certain confectionary crushing mobile game, you will love the gameplay. It’s this combination that makes Reel Rush Touch perhaps one of the most instantly appealing slots game for video game fans the world over.
The game is set across 5 reels, with up to a whopping 3125 paylines, or ways to win – even from your free spins. There aren’t a lot of added bonus rounds or side games going on here, but with plenty of ways to win from the main slots game, there’s enough going on to keep you engaged in the action. With a maximum possible payout coming in at over 96,000.00, Reel Rush Touch continues to prove a hit, especially with mobile gamers.
There are a number of free spins available throughout the game, all of which can be played for real money. Each time you win, the board opens up, with additional symbols uncovering on the reels. These are in play for the free spin, awarded every time you win, giving you 135 ways to win – an extra 90 paylines from the standard 45. When you win consecutively, you ramp up the free spins available, effectively opening a number of additional paylines with each free spin, up to 1875 on your 5th spin.
The full 3125 paylines are activated when you win 5 times in a row. While this doesn’t happen very often, it almost certainly spells a big win, and most of the jackpot wins come from triggering this bonus.
The Power Up gold star is the one to watch out for here, acting as the wild symbol that replaces any other across your paylines to give you the potential win. With the structure of the free spins and the expanding board, every win is worth potentially so much more than the payout it offers. That means the wild symbol, when it appears, actually has a lot of value – particularly when you’re on a winning streak that could see you unlock the full 3125 paylines the game has to offer.
Aside from the wild, the symbols themselves are reminiscent of Candy Crush saga, with little fruity blocks the order of the day. Line these up in any qualifying way across the reels and you’re on to a winner, with an extra nice free spin bonus awarded for every single possible win.
NetEnt have surpassed even their own high standards with this game. Its broad appeal stems from the winning combination of excellent quality, nostalgic graphics, borrowing from some of the biggest video games of all time in Super Mario Bros and Candy Crush. Added to that, the up to 3125 ways to potentially win means there’s no end to the action, especially when the free spins and wilds start racking up across the reels.
Reel Rush is best enjoyed in mobile tablet format, but it’s equally playable on desktop at PartyCasino. Get back to your video gaming childhood, except this time, you might well just walk away quids-in.
