Reactor slot review (Red Tiger)

Reactor is a unique Red Tiger video slot, set in a futuristic nuclear reactor

It’s an energetic bunch in the reactor: you sense that those big payouts are definitely within reach. And the wilds consist of electric balls of pure condensed energy.

Reactor slot gameplay and features

Reactor has 20 fixed paylines, accessible from both sides. There are 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols, and bets can be made from $€ 0.10 per spin. Of course, higher bets are also possible: up to $€ 100 per spin.

This slot’s variance is high: this slot machine suits players who like a lot of risk in their game.

The theoretical payout rate is 96.02%, which is about a half percent below the industry average for online slots.

Symbols and payouts

The wilds replace all other symbols except the scatters (the batteries)—5 wilds on an active payline yield 500 coins.

4 coloured panels (a kind of technical parts) depict the premium, high paying symbols.

These symbols are worth between 160 and 400 coins for every 5-of-a-kind.

The low symbols are 4 crystal-like symbols, in the same colours as the premium symbols. A 5-of-a-kind of the low paying symbols award you between 30 and 90 coins.

Bonus Boosters

As we mentioned earlier, there is no main bonus feature. At least, not in the sense of a free spins bonus or a pick and click bonus.

But it doesn’t mean Reactor is boring. The mini-feature offers an unusual twist.

You can stack up to 4 different mini-features on top of each other to start the mega feature.

This works as follows: when you spin 1 battery, you get a free respin, and you may try to spin as many extra scattered batteries as possible.

2 batteries and upward (the maximum is 5 batteries), you get several additional boosters, which will ignite the real fireworks.

The more boosters, the higher the potential reward:

• 2 batteries: 1 respin of which symbols are changed
• 3 batteries: symbols change plus random wilds
• 4 batteries: symbols change, random wilds and a mega wild.
• 5 batteries: symbols change, random wilds, a mega wild and a multiplier up to 10 x.

We once managed to spin all 5 batteries. Then a lot happened, and after the smoke lifted, we ended up with a beautiful payout of over 450 x the total bet.

Usually, of course, you spin 2 or 3 batteries, but that can also get you excellent prices.

Our final verdict on Reactor

Reactor is a somewhat unusual video slot, but that’s what we love about it.

The lack of a real main bonus feature is partly compensated by the mini-features, allowing you to win big money.

Still, working up to a nice bonus round makes gambling fun.

Therefore this slot is especially suitable for the Hit and Run strategy: put in some bets, try to hit a nice win and get out immediately.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
