Sunset slot review (Relax gaming)

Sunset is a video slot that was released by Relax Gaming

This games developer has shown huge growth in the past years and released some pretty tasty slots in 2018 and 2019 (see Van Gogh, Erik The Red and Epic Joker).

They also entered into a partnership with Big Time Gaming to design Megaways slots under licence, leading to fantastic slots such as Temple Tumble Megaways.

This Sunset slot is not a Megaways game, but it does have a few cool ideas and features. This is one of those slots that you play once in a while, and then leave it alone for a few months.

How does the Sunset slot machine work?

The setting is a highway through the desert, with a gentle sunset. How awesome must it be to end the day in a convertible, and the wind blowing through your hair?

Sunset is not a slot with lots of bells and whistles, but it does create a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

There are 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols, and you can benefit from the win all ways mechanism. In total there are 243 ways to win in the primary game.

Betting is done with a fixed amount per spin, which starts at $€ 0.25 and ends at $€ 100 per spin.

The variance is medium, and the payout rate is 96.52%.

Symbols and payouts

Relax Gaming has chosen classic slot machine symbols for the symbols on the Sunset reels.

The highest paying symbol is the diamond. This blue rascal gives you 60 x the total bet for a 5-of-a-kind.

The red seven, the clock and the BAR are the premium symbols, which yield between 10 x and 24 x the bet.

The card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A pay between 1.6 x and 2.4 x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind.

The wild symbol plays an essential role in the game (more on that later) and replaces all symbols except the scatters.

Nudging Wilds

The wilds are not only wild but have another vital function. If a wild symbol is spun, then, one spin later moves down one position on the reel downwards.

This feature can be very profitable, especially when you spin multiple wilds at the same time.

Free spins bonus: up to 25 free spins can lead to 1,024 ways to win

The 3, 4 or 5 scattered Sunset symbols activate the free spins bonus. These give you 8, 15 and 25 free spins respectively.

During the free spins, you get an entire additional row. This means the number of ways to win grows even further from 243 to 1,024.

So not only more chance of a price but also more chance of huge payouts.

The nudging wilds are also active during the free spins and in combination with the many ways to win it can also result in very nice rewards.

Our verdict on the Sunset slot machine?

At first sight, Sunset looks a bit plain and boring for us. We have seen the classic fruit slot symbols hundreds of times before and the win all ways is not a new concept either.

However, this slot machine comes to life when several nudging wilds appear on the reels, especially during the free spins bonus that can give your balance a considerable boost.

After that, the Sunset slot suddenly becomes a lot more attractive.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
