Rave High - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Despite the name, everything about this online slot is inspired by rock festivals. Using a classic 5x3 reel setup with 243 paylines, this free slot features symbols such as guitars, microphones and a wild symbol looking suspiciously like a knock-off Slash from Guns N’ Roses. The free spins bonus is the exciting feature, with a random multiplier on all wins that can go up to x72, if this sounds interesting, you can find out more in our full Rave High slot review. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Perhaps lost in translation, this CQ9Gaming free online slot may be titled to evoke images of rave culture in the fields and farms of the late '80s and early '90s. However, the imagery of Rave High is that of stadium rock festivals. A well-rendered arena is being set up in the background of the reels, while the online slot game’s symbols include guitars, microphones, drum kits and more than a nod to Slash from Guns N’ Roses. The soundtrack, too, is guitar-based rock and fits the atmosphere nicely. Just don’t come expecting any acid beats. 

If you’re looking for less of the music references, a hugely popular free slot is the Reel King Megaways slot which is one of our most popular slot review landing pages.

Rave High RTP and Variance 

Unfortunately, CQ9Gaming have a habit of not providing the RTP and variance data that most modern online slots players are looking for when deciding what to play next. We can tell you that in play testing this free slot, like many CQ9Gaming offers, it exhibits high variance, with long waits between wins but the chance of higher payouts when, and if, they do land. 

How to Play Rave High

This is an easy-to-play online slot, but we still recommend glancing through our quick start guide to make things simple:

1. Along the bottom of the screen, you’ll find your remaining balance, most recent win and current bet choice.
2. Bets can be chosen by using the plus and minus symbols above and below the spin button to the right of the reels.
3. For paytable info and a breakdown of the bonuses, you can use the three-line menu in the bottom left. 
4. For autoplay and fast play, use the small arrow on the spin button itself to toggle the plus and minus symbols into controls for these features. Be warned that both initiate instantly and have to be halted manually, so watch your balance closely.
5. Use the spin button on the right to spin the reels once. 
6. Any free slot is best enjoyed responsibly by creating your own realistic win and loss limits and sticking to them throughout play, ending the game as soon as it is no longer fun. 

Min & Max Bets + Top Wins 

The minimum bet choice is 0.60 and the maximum level is 1500.00. This should cater for most players and offers a wide selection of choices.

The top win in the game is x10,000 the bet per line, which combines the top free spins multiplier of x72 with the microphone, which is the highest-paying symbol.

Rave High Bonus Features 

There are only two bonus features, but they fit the bill for keeping things interesting throughout this online slot.

Wilds

The rock star, in whom we can’t unsee the famous Guns N’ Roses guitarist, is the wild symbol and will substitute for any symbol on the paytable except the scatter. This helps you form winning combinations across the 243 paylines.

Free Spins

The gold coin is the scatter in the game, which triggers the free spins bonus when you manage to land 5 of a kind. This will award you 13 free spins and will apply a random multiplier to all wins during the round, from x3 up to x72. If you land another 5 scatter symbols, you can retrigger the free spins up to a maximum of 100 free spins. 

Rave High Review Our Verdict 

Our slot review found this to be a fun game that is kept exciting by the potential for high multipliers in the free spins bonus round. The game is definitely high variance, as the bonus requires 5 symbols to trigger, but otherwise this is a satisfying game. We would like to see some RTP data in the future, however.
