Rocket Reels Slot Machine - Play Rocket Reels Slot Free

Introduction

Hacksaw Gaming are not known for specialising and in fact most Hacksaw free slots seem to be variations on themes that have been explored before like Big Time Gaming’s The Final Countdown slot. This is obviously a popular strategy as they are now featured on some of the world’s best slot casinos. 

Rocket Reels has a 7-reel, 7-column grid with a huge number of potential cluster wins. As is standard across many Hacksaw games, the minimum bet size is 0.20 and the maximum is 100. There are 10 symbols: 5 multi-colored 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.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

Visually there isn’t much variation, just lots and lots of space rocks. But the colors and designs become a little hypnotic and when the rockets launch, rather than explosive destruction they simply zip up the screen taking out the symbols behind them. That’s when the abstract space music is replaced with some cheesy electro pop. It shouldn’t really work but it’s all quite appealing.

Rocket Reels RTP and variance

According to Hacksaw, Rocket Reels has an RTP of 96.30 per cent. This rises to 96.34 per cent if you buy free spins. The variance is high.

How to play Rocket Reels

1. The arrows to the left of the Spin button, pointing up and down, are used to set the bet level.
2. Click on the small spin button to open the Autoplay menu. Here you can select various numbers of automatic spins from 10 to 1000.
3. Click on the Advanced tab to gain access to other settings. Here you can set Autoplay to stop whenever you win a special feature. You can also set a loss limit and a single win limit.
4. Click on the 3-line menu on the left of the balance meter to open a menu where you can select turbo mode. Here you can also see game information and switch sound and music on or off.
5. Click the Start button or press the space bar to start spins utilizing the current total bet value. 
6. The wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the free spin symbol and can land anywhere on the grid.
7. Each spin can launch several rockets, which will break all symbols in their way and leave behind a series of multipliers. If the multiplier lands overlapping a winning cluster, the result value will be multiplied accordingly. If more than one multiplier is overlapping on a cluster, the multipliers will first be added together and then multiplied by the win. Every successful cluster is then destroyed to make space for new symbols. The drops will keep repeating until there are no new winning clusters. Multipliers remain on the reel for the duration of the base game.
8. There can only be 1 rocket on each reel per spin. In the base game you'll need 3 or more rockets in order to trigger a rocket launch, and in the free spins feature every landed rocket will launch.
9. Rocket 1 may carry a multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x. Rocket 2 carries 10x, 15x or 20x. Rocket 3 carries 25x, 50x, or 75x.
10. The balance meter at the bottom left of the screen displays your current balance which is constantly updated.
11. You may click the Bonus Buy button to purchase the free spins feature directly from the main game.
12. We strongly support the gambleaware programme and we encourage everyone to play responsibly at all times. If you decide to play for money, be sure you always stay within the limits of what you can afford. Games are for fun, so when it stops being enjoyable you should quit.

Rocket Reels bonus features

UFO

You may see a UFO. It can appear at random on spins in which rockets have launched. It will beam up a random number - minimum 20 and maximum all - of symbols and clear those from the grid. New symbols will then drop to replace them. The UFO can appear in both the base game and the free spins feature.

Free Spins

If you land three free spins symbols anywhere in the base game you trigger this feature. In this feature every single rocket will launch and drop their multipliers. The maximum value is 75x per multiplier. 3 free spin symbols will get you 8 free spins.

Rocket Reels review: our verdict

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 colors and busy screen.
