Reel Talent slot review (Just for the win)

In Reel Talent, a video slot designed by Just For The Win, wild animals take part in a talent show

Have you ever seen a singing lion, a fire-breathing crocodile and a juggling rabbit? No? Us neither until we tried Reel Talent, the latest video slot, from Just For The Win.

In this very entertaining slot machine, all sorts of animals have to compete against each other in a kind of Animal’s Got Talent show.

Their goal is to reach the stage and earn you money. When an animal makes it to the stage as a solo artist, you can win up to 1,000 x your bet.

In any case, it is a very original concept. With slots like Rainbrew, Sidewinder and Amazing Aztecs, game developer Just For The Win proved they are very creative.

We always love it when game providers dare to leave the beaten track. Our heroes from Thunderkick have become (quite rightly) very successful and grew big that way.

How does the Reel Talent slot machine work?

Reel Talent is played on 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols.

There are 20 fixed paylines, and bets start from $€ 0.10 per spin. Of course, you can also bet more: the maximum bet is $€ 100 per spin.

This is a medium variance video slot. The theoretical payout rate is excellent: 96.03%.

Symbols and payouts

The highest paying symbol is the Reel Talent symbol. Spin 5 of these symbols on an active win line and you earn 50 x the total bet.

The crocodile, lion, rabbit and guitar playing wolf, when you hit 5-of-a-kind are good for payouts between 7.5 x and 15 x the total bet.

A microphone, a torch, a rock guitar and a deck of cards represent the low symbols.

If you spin a 5-of-a-kind of these symbols, you win between 3.5 and 5 x the total bet.

Reel Talent Symbol Storage

Every winning spin initiates this bonus feature. You get a free respin, and the symbols that account for the winning combination are stored.

The aim is to make three winning combinations, so you earn the Super Spin.

It is most lucrative to collect as many winning combinations with the same symbol as possible.

Super Spins

If you manage to make 3 winning combinations in a row, you win 1 of the 3 possible Super Spins.

Now you get 1 extra spin, using only the saved symbols.

We list them for you in order of winning potential (low to high):

• 3 different symbols: the Showtime Super Spin
• 2 different symbols: the Big Stage Super Spider
• 1 symbol: the Solo Performance Super Spin

When you manage to win the Solo Performance, you will get 1 full screen full of similar symbols.

Depending on the symbol, this can result in a price worth between 70 x (lowest symbol) and 1,000 x (highest symbol) the total bet.

Did you place the maximum bet? Then this Super Spin can result in a payout of $€ 100,000.

What do we think of Reel Talent?

Reel Talent is an entertaining Just For The Win slot, which could have benefited from a little more depth. You win the Super Spins reasonably often, but it can only pay out well if you know how to hit the Solo Performance.

Just For the Win could have improved massively on this slot, just by adding another bonus feature besides the Super Spins. It would have brought a bit more variety and suspense to the game.

Nevertheless, it is not only a smart looking game but a fun and very original slot as well.

3,5 stars out of 5.
