Amped slot review (Relax Gaming)

Amped: Relax Gaming almost always comes up with something special. Will they do it again?

Relax Gaming slots have left more than just a good impression on me. They’re one of my favourite slot providers. I love the free spins bonus rounds, which offer lots of thrill and often unique gameplay.

It helps that many of their slots offer the Buy a Bonus feature to speed up things. Besides, many of these slots have a blistering maximum win of 50000x. I’m referring to Money Train 2, Hellcatraz, Iron Bank or Ramses Revenge.

Does this slot rank alongside these fantastic slots? Not quite.

It certainly has some original elements in the tank, but the real fireworks are missing.

Amped comes with a lovely 80s music-theme, and we spot cassette tapes, ghetto blasters and hear synthesizer music. Those were the days! Who didn’t have a walkman?

The gameplay offers a lot of variety, with no less than four different free spins options.

SLOT: AMPED | SOFTWARE: RELAX GAMING   Software: Relax Gaming Number of paylines: 5 reels with 4 rows and 30 paylines RTP and variance: 96.37%,   Medium variance Maximum win: Unknown Betting range: $€0.10 – $€100 Bonus features: 4 different free spins options Casino Hipster verdict: Hot but not HOT! An entertaining and original theme, great free spins options, but the real thrill is missing.

Amped slot – Gameplay and Features

The slot has a 5×4 setup, and there are 30 paylines.

The high-paying symbols are the ghettoblaster, music boxes, speakers, and cassette tapes. We have four gems as the lower-paying symbols.

You also have four different types of scatters: red, yellow, green and blue coloured. Besides, you have a Scatter Wild symbol, which can change in all symbols (including the Scatters).

The main game is a bit dull, but luckily you have the free spins!

The free spins – 4 possibilities

You need 3 same-coloured scatters to activate one of the four free spins.

Spinning 3 red scatters activates 7 BPM Boost Multiplier free spins, where you benefit from an increasing total multiplier after each win.

Grab 3 yellow coloured scatters, and you trigger 7 Electro Expanding Wilds free spins, where you can get stacked wilds.

With 3 green coloured scatters, you get 7 Big Bass Sticky Wild Free Spins. Now you have sticky wilds, which stay on the reels for the remaining free spins.

3 blue scatters yield 7 Remix Synced Reels free spins, where you get linked reels, as you know from Netent’s Twin Spin.

You can trigger an additional free spin during the free spins if you manage to spin a Free Spin symbol.

Payout percentage (RTP)

The RTP is 96.37%, which exceeds (slightly) the average RTP of slots from the larger slot providers.

The variance (volatility) of Amped is medium

Relax Gaming does not reveal the variance of Amped. At the moment, I go for medium, based on the gameplay of the slot. I expect that top wins will be around 250x to 500x.

Pros en Cons Advantages: √  Lovely variety in gameplay, thanks to the four types of free spins √  An original theme within the Retro genre √  The slot is not too risky Disadvantages: χ  You’ll not land anything massive χ  The features are versatile but lack some innovation So, who’ll like the slot? And who won’t? Amped is a slot that suits those who look for versatility and prefer to play for a long time without taking too much risk. This slot is also an excellent alternative for fruit slots lovers. Yes, the slot has some fireworks, but perhaps more fireworks are suited for kids than the 18-year olds.
