Power Ups - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Power Ups slot review

The Power Ups slot is from the Rogue stable of games. It is played on 5x7 reels and clusters of winning symbols - ranging from three to seven - are randomly selected before each game. Winning clusters can match horizontally or vertically. Each cascade decreases the cluster number by one and the win multiplier, which ranges from 2x to 10x, increases. 

Three or more lightning bolts, which act as a scatter symbol in the base game, result in the cluster bucks bonus. This is a free spins bonus that can include a powered-up win multiplier. You can land 15+ matching winning symbols in any base game.

In the free spins, each block on the screen carries a value and pays out as a combination of the values multiplied by the bet. 

There is a wild symbol that substitutes for all other symbols apart from the scatter.

You will find more Rogue slots here at Slots Temple, each available in free demo play. This is a great way to explore slots games without risking your own money at online casinos. Always play responsibly by setting a budget for each session and taking advantage of the timeout and/or self-exclusion functions.

Our comprehensive Power Ups slot review appears below.

Theme

The Power Ups slot has a martial arts theme. Yin and yang stand on either side of the reel set ready to power you to wins.

Symbols

These are a little disappointing, as there are just five coloured blocks representing winning symbols on the reels in the base game. The two combatants are the only sign of imagination in this video slot.

Soundtrack

The 80s club theme that accompanies the game sounds a little incongruous; however, it fits with the neon colours on the reels. 

Power Ups RTP and variance 

Here we take a look at the payout potential of the Power Ups slot:

RTP

This is one of the designer’s slots that has an RTP below the current industry average. Set at 95.85 per cent, this is disappointing for a recent game.

If you are looking for a slots game with a better RTP, take a look at Money Train 2 from Relax Gaming. This title has an RTP of 96.40 per cent and is another of the slots available in demo mode here at Slots Temple. 

Variance

We feel this game displays medium variance.

Power Ups review: our verdict 

Our Power Ups slot review verdict begins with a look at the RTP:

RTP

The official RTP is a little disappointing, even if it improves in the buy feature.

Features

The game has very few features and the free spins bonus depends on the multipliers to really benefit the player.

Verdict

This is one of the designer’s more predictable slots and it is difficult to get too excited about it. The RTP is disappointing and the lack of features works against it.
