Rocket Reels Slot Machine

Hacksaw has found a formula that works, and with their creative abilities the template can probably be used for countless instalments without ever getting old. Their mobile-friendly Pocketz range is already overflowing with simple, yet potent and entertaining releases, and Rocket Reels is another solid effort topped off by the signature innovative twist.

You can play this online slot here at Slingo Casino.

Rocket Reels is an online slot from Hacksaw. It has 7 reels, 7 rows and cluster plays instead of paylines. There are 10 symbols: 5 multi-coloured planets or asteroids which are the higher paying ones, and 5 meteorites in yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple. There is also a wild and some other special symbols.

As we said above, there are three types of rocket symbols, but we did not say what their role is. So, those are multiplier symbols that can land anywhere, and you need to land 3 or more at the same time to trigger the Rocket Launch feature in the base game. Rockets take off when the cascading sequence ends and they remove all symbols above as they leave the playing field. The affected reel positions are filled with multipliers and they affect any winning clusters that form as new symbols cascade down to fill the empty spaces.

All winning clusters are removed from the grid via the Cascading Wins feature, and new/existing symbols will then drop down to fill the gaps. This process repeats as long as you keep winning, awarding indefinite “extra wins” per round.

You need 3 astronaut scatters anywhere in view in the same cascading sequence to trigger the Bonus Round. This awards 8 free spins, and all rockets that land in the bonus round will launch no matter how many you land at the same time. 

This is quite a simple game - the multipliers and free spins are dressed up as something more than they really are, but the cascade action looks good and introduces some tension into the proceedings as you wait for the drops to finish. It’s a good one for beginners, but even seasoned players could be charmed by its bright colours and busy screen.
