Reel Rush Demo Slot - Play for Real Money or Play the Demo for Free

Introduction

Reel Rush Slot from NetEnt is a 5 x 5 reel game with a real difference. In base play, only 13 of a possible 25 reel spaces are in action, but this rises with the frequent Re-Spins, which are awarded after each win, and the Ways to Win increase with every Re-Spin.

Overview of Reel Rush 

Reel Rush is a fast-paced, action-packed slot that combines the charm of classic fruit machines with modern slot mechanics. From NetEnt, the game has a bright, candy-inspired design and an expanding reel format to keep things interesting.

Set on a 5x5 grid, the game starts with 13 visible symbols and 45 ways to win. With every win, the reels expand and ways to win increase, up to 3125 in the free spins.

The max win in Reel Rush is 962x your stake when you unlock the full reel layout and hit high-value symbol combinations in free spins.

Reel Rush has an RTP of 99.05% making it one of the highest returning online slots. It's medium volatility so you'll get regular wins and the occasional bigger one.

Theme

Reel Rush Slot has been inspired by two related and popular slot game themes. The first is that of retro fruit slot games, and the second is more modern cascade games such as Candy Crush.

Bringing together elements from both worlds, the developers have managed to create a game that appeals to practically every player, modern and traditional alike, and especially those with a sweet tooth!

Reel Rush can also attribute some of its thematic ideas to the aesthetic influence of Kawaii (cute, kitschy graphics from Japan). Kawaii designs feature heavily in the many mobile games that were developed in the 2000s onward, which often featured sweets as a natural evolution of fruit symbols - a theme inherited from slot games.

The symbols in Reel Rush have perfectly combined these two great traditions - one old and one new - with their delicious-looking fruit and sweets as symbols.

The reels are set in front of a bright green forest background with graphics reminiscent of Super Mario Brothers or similar 1980s platform games, with curved-off squares and simplistic features. This includes a couple of toadstools for good measure and trees that resemble ice lollies.

3125 Ways to Win & Re-Spins

In Reel Rush Slot, some of the spaces are closed off at the start, reducing the Ways to Win to generous 45. This rises during the Re-Spins as more and more spaces are opened, hugely increasing the number of ways to win.

The number of Ways to Win rises incrementally with each Re-Spin in the following format:

• First Re-Spin = 135 Ways to Win
   
• Second Re-Spin = 405 Ways to Win
   
• Third Re-Spin = 675 Ways to Win
   
• Fourth Re-Spin = 1125 Ways to Win
   
• Fifth Re-Spin = 1875 Ways to Win
   

Should you land a win after this you'll be awarded eight Free Spins, during which time there are the fantastic 3125 Ways to Win.

Reel Rush Slot Symbols

The main symbols in this game are a series of candy in the form of hard-boiled sweets and fruit. Both are made in a cutesy cartoon-style graphic.

Matching symbols on three or more adjacent reels in any order constitute a winning combination. All winnings are paid from left to right and not from right to left.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is certainly a major protagonist in the Reel Rush story. The Wild appears on reels 2, 3 ,4 and 5 (but not Reel 1) and acts as a substitute symbol.

In fact, with the absence of a Scatter or Bonus Symbol, it substitutes for all other symbols. The lack of Scatter or Bonus is not a cause of concern, however, as you will find that the Wild pops up so often that it more than makes up for this.

Free Spins

As we said, these are triggered after a win in your fifth Re-Spin - in other words, after six wins in a row. In Reel Rush, the number of Free Spins remains static at eight and there are no retriggers. 

During the Free Spins feature, the Wild symbol remains in play as an excellent substitute for all other symbols. With a full reel screen of 5 x 5 in play during the Free Spins and the game's famous 3125 Ways to Win, the Free Spins really is the headline act.

2. Press the spin button or use the spacebar if enabled.

5. If you win five Re-Spins in a row, you’ll unlock eight Free Spins with 3,125 Ways to Win.

What is the Re-Spins Feature?

Reel Rush’s Re-Spin feature is central to the game’s appeal.

Each time you land a winning combination, a free Re-Spin is triggered. New spaces on the grid open up, and the number of Ways to Win increases:
From 45 in the base game to a potential 3,125 during Free Spins.

For example, a win on the second spin gives 405 Ways to Win, while a win on the fifth spin brings 1,875 Ways to Win.

This dynamic system creates a sense of momentum, building player excitement as more of the reel area becomes visible.
